In the UK twitter is all over the news.. So i’m guessing I should post about it agian…

Well yesterday I opened my 3rd twitter account for a new site launched 2 days… Add twitterfeed and we are away!!..

Great.. 

5 mins ago or so a new follower added themselves.. Now I normally ignore this but as it was such a new account with on 3 twits so far I went and had a look.. 

This is what I found:

So its someone that imho is spamming… The thing that interests me was the fact this account has 61 followers… 

A little bit of maths returns over 1 in 15 people will follow you for you following them even with a empty account…

Diagram below show one of my sites that has steady highish traffic with no massive up’s or downs with mondays always with the most traffic hence a good site to look at for xmas/new year traffic. 

First arrow showing 25th Decemeber which is 1/3 of the traffic of new year eve and day (second red arrow).

NYE and NYD are 1/2 of the avg traffic vs the 1/5 of traffic on xmas day.. Please note the site is UK focused..

So most people around the world have heard about the snow in the uk that has shut down london this monday. Well we expect more tomorrow!

I love SNOW!! 

We don’t get much snow in the uk :( 

Thought I’d have a looky at google trends for the uk with the term “snow”.. 

check it out click here

One odd thing is google doesn’t pick up snow uk news of which is all the news we have really had this week.

One interesting thing is that Wales come no1 for snow searches when it has fewer people and hasn’t been hit that hard vs the over populated south of the UK…

Ok haven’t blogged for an age here… So now that I have a tiny amount of time I thought I’d blog a little now and again.. 

So google hates Wales… 

Well i’ve been away snowboarding for a week as per norm this time of year and brought the snow back to the UK with me … 

So today I thought I’d raise my PPC budget after dropping for the time i’m away.. “as per norm” .. 

Pretty simple.. I raise the daily cap.. done.. 

Me been being bored this am I have a looky at google “Campaign Optimiser” Which states :

Your campaign’s recent performance shows that some targeted locations perform better for you than others. We recommend that you focus on those regions that have higher Click-through rates than your current average.

The Sad/funny thing is I target the UK only with this campaign thus select uk.. Simple yes ? 

Well. Google thinks Wales is just no good for me..  Google suggest removing wales from my geo-targetting which would increase my CTR.. 

wired thing is it will increase CTR and result in less imp’s and clicks.. Odd.. 

Here is the map of the proposed locations: 

This is why removing wales is better :
