Using Google Analytics to Reduce Your Adwords Expenses
Nov 4th, 2007 by Martin Lee
I would like to share with you some interesting statistics of an Adwords campaign that I run. This campaign is not country targeted and delivers to me traffic from all over the world. Here’s how the report from Google Analytics look like :

As you can see, something doesn’t see right with the traffic coming from South America. The bounce rate is about 80% compared with my site average of 35%. The average time spent on my site is also much lower around 20 seconds compared to my site average of 6 minutes.
I suspect these could even be Adsense sites with perhaps even fraud involved. While I cannot be certain on the fraud point, one thing is for sure…
If I remove those countries from this particular Google Adwords campaign, my ROI would go way up. :)
Make sure you check your Google Analytics account regularly for such insights.
