MenuShould I set up multiple adword accounts for multiple websites or just one adword account for multiple websites?
I am building an adwords account for a client that has multiple locations that overlap in the same state. They all have different websites. I'm wondering if I should setup multiple adwords accounts so they can each be linked to an analytics account or put them in 1 account so it's easier to manager. Their GEO's overlap but they all have different websites and brands. For the most part they will be targeting the same keywords and have the same buildout structure.

It all depends on whether they are all selling the same thing to the same persona. If yes, then combine all the campaigns into one adwords account, which feeds into one analytics account. That way they can get feedback on the effectiveness of different keywords, ads, etc. more quickly (because there will be more data, from all the different websites, all in one place, for a particular keyword).
If they are each selling different things, or to different personas, then don't combine their accounts, because it will just make things confusing and not useful from an analysis perspective.
I'd rather look at it from this perspective: create a different AdWords account for a different business.
For the rest, Lee is mentioning great points.
Hey there! Not sure if you're still looking for an answer here, but nevertheless, here's what I would recommend:
In this case, I would probably build out a separate account for each under a master MCC account. You can technically accomplish it in one account, but since you have different websites & are targeting similar keywords, I would split them out separately.
Hope this helps!
I will go with multiple AdWords account option, but Yes, you can use one AdWords account to advertise multiple websites, but I do not recommend doing so. There are many reasons why advertisers might want to send traffic to multiple websites from a single AdWords account. Two prime examples are serial entrepreneurs and organizations with websites targeting separate geographical regions. Google has no policy against using one AdWords account for multiple sites, but in all our conversations with Google about this subject they have discouraged doing so. Here are three reasons why:
1.One website’s policy issue can kill your whole account: You would be surprised how easy it is to get suspended by Google, even if you are trying to do everything above-board. Google may change its policies or crack down on an entire vertical, or you might not realize you are violating policies until it is too late. Suspensions are so common that we specialize in helping advertisers get their AdWords accounts unsuspended.
2. Your quality score may be damaged: Quality Score is a metric between 1-10 that Google assigns to each keyword. Quality Score * Max CPC = Ad Rank, which determines when and where your ad appears. Google says that there is no “Account Quality Score”. Maybe that is true, maybe it is not, but there is no doubt that when you add new keywords, the initial Quality Score assigned to them is affected by the performance of other keywords in your account. You do not want to risk one website’s poor-Quality Score hurting another website.
3. Using multiple domains can make reporting a pain: Importing conversions and Google Analytics data from multiple websites and figuring out what your per-website metrics are can be tough. Use one account per domain to make your life easier.

Why are my "Publisher Monetized Pageviews" in Google Analytics data far less than "Publisher Impressions"?
It's isn't just you. Adobe reported that "over $21.8 billion in global ad revenues have been blocked/lost so far in 2015." largely thanks to mass adoption with the AdBlocking software :) 21 million users in 2009, to 198 million active global users as of June 2014-likely overtaking the other comps entirely.NB

Is there a way to use paid advertising to test a domain name?
Yes. Use the "Link Text" in your facebook ads to A/B test various domain names. To do this, simply launch a few identical ads, and only change the link text to say the variation of the domain name you are considering. The ad with the highest CTR (not conversion rate or other KPI) will be the one that sparks the most interest in your target audience. Note: one domain may have a high relevance to one audience, but low relevance with another. So this tactic should only be used if you have a very specific demo you are targeting.AG

What's the benefit of being a Google partner?
Being a Google Partner has many benefits, but they revise them all the time. Google seems to protect their intellectual property heavy, so as a partner, you can display their partnership logo to your potential clients. Also, when they roll out new products in beta, you know before the public does. As Google products go, that's a huge benefit. They provide enhanced support when you need it as well. I also do a lot of public speaking, so the one benefit public speakers enjoy is that they let you speak at their events; a very valuable benefit to us public speakers ;) I hope this answers the question.

Anyone know if facebook's ad manager allows you to create new accounts with clients credit card or can you only have one account with one card?
I have more than 7 years of experience in digital marketing, managed over $50,000 in ad spend on various social media networks and currently managing over 30 Social media assets for various clients. You can add as many Funding sources to your Facebook Ad account as you want but all campaigns in your Ad account would be charged to the Primary funding source failing which the secondary and so on. The best practice when you have multiple clients is to ask your clients to setup their own Facebook Ad accounts, add their own credit cards to their own accounts and then give General user access to you to enable you to manage their account and create ads on their behalf. Facebook is all set to launch the Facebook Business Manager which according to Facebook themselves would be a way to help businesses and agencies manage their Facebook Pages, ad accounts and payment methods in one place. You can find out more about the Facebook Business Manager here: https://www.facebook.com/help/businessmanager If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you here: https://clarity.fm/gs.gill/expertise/use-facebook-ads-to-meet-your-business-goalsGG
