33. WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW TO LAUNCH A MOBILE SEM CAMPAIGN ?
Create a dedicated campaign on Google
for easier recognition, name it: mobile_xxx
In parameters choose mobile in Apparels
By default, both computers and mobile can be selected
Select only mobile
Create dedicated Keywords listing and ads
Less keywords: Queries are shorter on mobile search bars
33
34. HOW TO COLLECT STATS FROM CAMPAIGNS ON MOBILE SEM ?
By creating dedicated campaigns
With only one campaign for all apparels, Google doesn’t gives the opportunity in
reports to know from which apparel traffic comes from
By creating dedicated campaigns you can have your data per campaign
About tracking: you may have to “shrink” code
(less characters number allowed)
Ask an IT
34
35. WHAT ARE AVERAGE CPC ON MOBILE?
There isn’t real answer to that question. CPC are governed by the
market
Minimum bid is the same as on computers (0,01€)
But CPC are not lower than on computers
On Google Mobile you have less ads displayed for each query
2 at the top of the page
2 at the bottom of the page
So you need to appear on the first 2 position to be viewed
So CPC might be quite high (1€ and even more)
35
36. IF I DO A CAMPAIGN ON MOBILE SEM, WILL I PUT MYSELF IN COMPETITION WITH MYSELF ON
THE SAME KW ON WEB AND THUS PAY MORE ?
No, there won’t be any competition between your keywords on
computer vs mobile
You are targetting different « networks ». In the same way there isn’t competition
between search and content
So there isn’t CPC inflation
But be carefull, if you have limited budget, you can lower your share of voice on
Google web, by investing more on google mobile.
36
37. I ONLY HAVE AN IPHONE PORTAL, CAN I STILL DO SEM CAMPAIGNS ON IPHONE OWNERS ? HOW
?

38. MY MOBILE PORTAL IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO NON ORANGE CUSTOMERS, CAN I STILL DO SEM
CAMPAIGNS ? HOW ?
In romania No : You can’t choose different options between operators:
38
39. DO I NEED TO ADAPT MY WEBSITE TO MOBILE?
The best answer has to be YES. And for many reasons
Screen is really small
Connexion isn’t so good on mobile
avoid heavy pictures to download
facilitate navigation
Iphone doesn’t support flash
There isn’t mouse put big buttons
