Google AdWords launches enhanced CPC

This change in AdWords is best explained with an example:

Billy sells manuka honey and has enabled Enhanced CPC for a campaign that contains the following keywords, each with a Max CPC bid set to $0.50:

  • manuka honey
  • manuka honey digestion
  • manuka honey benefits

When a user searches for ‘manuka honey digestion,’ the AdWords system recognises that this term has converted well for Billy in the past, and therefore increases the Max CPC bid to $0.52 for this specific auction.  If the likelihood of a conversion is very high, Enhanced CPC can bid up to 30% above the Max CPC.  This means that the most that Billy will be charged for a click is $0.65.

This would appear to favour the advertiser but beware, Google is in business to make money and AdWords is their key revenue stream, so don’t be too hopeful!
