1. Which search engine produce the best marketing campaign results? Publisher Name | Total Clicks | Total Impressions | Total Click Charges | Total Revenue | Total Volume of Bookings | Google - Global | 72895 | 1808326 | $120,946.71 | $929,549.80 | 797 | Google - US | 192109 | 3855689 | $353,640.60 | $1,745,481.80 | 1550 | MSN - Global | 11217 | 139979 | $12,160.36 | $145,524.25 | 129 | MSN - US | 10808 | 170120 | $16,098.49 | $181,549.80 | 140 | Overture - Global | 60899 | 17898727 | $64,295.86 | $430,084.70 | 372 | Overture - US | 119323 | 17062488 | $141,976.07 | $347,433.25 | 289 | Yahoo - US | 45598 | 933345 | $46,197.82 | $882,288.95 | 662 | Grand Total | 512849 | 41868674 | $755,315.92 | $4,661,912.55 | 3939 |
If we take a look at the various publishers, we see that we have too much investment put in Google-US Position 5-10, and we should shift the bid strategy to position 1-2. Our bid strategy with Overture-Global is optimal, with most of its searches falling in Position 1-2.

Match Type: Match Type | Google - Global | Google - US | MSN - Global | MSN - US | Overture - Global | Overture - US | Yahoo - US | Grand Total | Advanced | | | | | 210 | 224 | 535 | 969 | Broad | 383 | 2011 | 99 | 98 | | | | 2591 | Exact | 3 | 19 | | | | | | 22 | N/A | 7 | 41 | | | | | | 48 | Standard | | | | | 343 | 437 | 100 | 880 | Grand Total | 393 | 2071 | 99 | 98 | 553 | 661 | 635 | 4510 |
