Thanks for the advice! We have ~£100 of free AdWords credit so might as well use it, see if we can get any value out of it. I'm curious why you think Adwords isn't cost effective though? I've heard this before and find it hard to believe (but then again my experience of running ad campaigns is minimal!)
We have identified a couple of techniques our competitors used effectively and fairly cheaply so are going to explore those as well. Search was one of our weaknesses, but I did a lot of reading on SEO and think I applied it pretty well (technical aspect), we're starting to see results from that but it's a slow process :)
We did explore a lot of options about technical limits/nag screens etc, we are going to be tweaking it and seeing what works and what doesn't! A/B testing landing pages is a great idea. I am keeping close track of it on Analytics and making small tweaks here and there constantly, we got the bounce rate from ~50% down to 25% which is good.
- ig1 15y agoBack of an envelope calculation, assuming a CPC of $1 and a conversion rate of 1% (say 10% download your app and 10% of those decide to purchase) it'll cost you $100 to make a $30 sale. You can plug your actual numbers in to give you a better estimate though. For search have a look at the data, use google adwords tool to figure out how many people search for the terms you're targeting and check out how competitive those terms are. Remember even the top ranked search term only gets 20% of the clicks from that search and it drops rapidly as you go down the page.
