No More Right Hand Side Ads for AdWords Desktop Results!

FEB

24

2016

As reported and confirmed by a number of sources, Google has removed all right hand side AdWords ads from their search result page.

Since last Friday Ad placements in Google’s search results are now top and bottom only with the possibility of showing an additional (fourth) ad on top for certain search results. This is a global change rolling out to all countries in all languages.

It is worth noting that PLA (product listing advertisements) will remain in the right hand side along with the knowledge graph.

We have had confirmation from our Google representative that this change has taken place and we are waiting on an official statement.

Welcome to your new search engine result page:

How this is likely to affect advertisers

  • Competitive keywords are likely to see an average CPC increase, ensuring keywords have a high quality score and having highly relevant keywords and landing pages are essential.
  • Keywords that have a position lower than four will likely see a big drop in click through rate, while on the other side, keywords with a position four or higher will see the opposite effect.
  • Google maps / my business results still appear above the fold on most desktop sizes. It’s more important than ever to have a Google Mybusiness listing and to keep it optimised.

 

We are currently carefully observing the impact of this change across our accounts and will be able to provide insights in the following days / weeks.

I have used Click Click Media as a retainer for multiple clients and I have to say, at a time where we thought we would lose business, we gained a lot through the marketing expertise of Click Click Media. They were very responsive towards requests and advice and allowed myself and my team to have our highest growth ever in the 2020/2021 period.

The team at ClickClick Media are always so helpful and extremely good at what they do. I had several issues with web developers until I came across ClickClick, they are honest and very fair with their pricing. After setting up an awesome landing page they then setup an ad words campaign that literally saved our business. There after sale service is second to none. Looking forward to using Click Click for all my future online projects. Thanks to Ben, Rik, Adriel & the rest of the team

From website to SEO management and to SEO work! We are in really good hands. We have never been this satisfied with such an outstanding work, communication and great outcome from a marketing company. Thank you Click Click Media!
