     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
     if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
     js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5";

Suggestions to push down negative search results

In order to push down negative search results or remove negative search results in search engine results page, you need to follow the below suggestions that I have mentioned.
Create social networking profiles:  
First strategy is to create several social networking profiles that you can fully inhabit and use. Some sites to provide high search returns which push down negative ones are:
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Google Profile – An incredible way to create a personal branding page too, which would be very strategic.
  • Quora
  • LinkedIn
  • YouTube – This can be tough but creating video content will push nearly everything down a bit.
Create blog:  
Write blog posts that are optimized for your company name and post frequently. Build bond with other bloggers in your business via blog commenting and social media marketing, so you can attract the links and increase the rankings of your blog posts. If we can find the keywords related to the negative search results and pages and then blog against those keywords in your blog posts, tweets, and more.

Reward the positive results:
As we see positive results either in forums, blogs, or tweets you should quickly and directly engage, thanking them for those results. Create links to these positive results that are generated outside your organization. Thank them and give them great feedback.
Take back negative keywords:
If a search for your name is generally positive, but including a particular keyword takes up negative or surplus results, try to rescue that term. 

Press releases:
One of the most operative ways to extent positive news about your company is by issuing online press releases on a regular basis. Press releases rise to rank well in the search engines and can possibly get your press from previous websites.

Submit guest articles:
Extent positive PR by writing and submitting the visitor articles to blogs and websites in your industry. Take account of your company name and a link back to your website in each article that you submit.

Create a direct feedback loop:
We have to place direct and explicit feedback loop advertised on your website. When a direct email or Feedback Form on your website, the customer doesn’t turns to the internet (or blog) about the company.

Clean up old pages or (change them):
Old and archived pages are the source material for negative feedback and all you have to do is moreover clean them up (take away them completely) or edit the direct link. This is especially valuable since these negative criticisms are almost never updated or kept active with and practically no one is editing old comments or blog posts for the correct link.

  • My product/service that I can provide to my online training course and certification.
  • The main goal of my AdWords campaign creation is to receive a good number of online conversions by filling and submitting the lead form ending with a thank you page.
  • My targeted customers are from the UK country and they can speak English language.
  • The monthly budget that I can spend to reach UK customers is 100$.
Step by Step Google AdWords Account

I created a Google account in AdWords and set as US time zone and US currency ($). Before starting a PPC (Pay Per Click) campaign firstly, i researched about keywords which are relevant to my training course and finally selected 30 keywords.

I started a search network only campaign with one Ad group. In this ad group I added 30 keywords and placed 3 ad copies. Entered billing information and set the payment type as automatic. Finally, my ads are in live now. I started the AdWords campaign on 27th January 2015 and still running now. I am not yet consulted for any best PPC management agency or Search engine marketing company or any PPC consulting services for advertising or marketing my online education business website.

AdWords Campaign Management:

On my first day of PPC campaign creation i received only a single number of impressions so then i started doing PPC campaign optimization. The following are the changes i have done in AdWords PPC management:
  • Initially, all my keywords are in exact match and later i changed match types from exact to phrase and also changed the keywords bids to get high rankings.
  •  I included 3 ad copies out of 3 one ad is performing well and having more impressions. Other 2 ad copies are replaced with some new ad copies and also changed display URL’S of all 3 ad copies.
  • After these 2 optimizations I received enough impressions and 3 to 4 clicks but no conversions, then i did AdWords landing page optimization. In order to get leads i optimized my AdWords landing page by changing the image banner, header tag and lead form text. Then finally i got 2 conversions on that day.
  • At weekends all my AdWords performance is decreases and i received a very less number of impressions, no clicks and no conversions.
*Finally, in weekdays i received some good number of impressions, few clicks and 2 conversions, but at weekend days my results are gradually decreased.

The changes i have made in my Next weeks are:
  • I again researched about some new keywords which are relevant to my business course and added those keywords in the ad group and also paused some keywords which are not performing well. Then i received enough impressions and 3-4 clicks daily.
  • Did AdWords landing page optimization- i added some new content and made some changes to my AdWords landing page.
  • Wrote catchy new ad copy descriptions and modified the 2nd ad copy description which is not performing well. After these ad description optimization also i didn’t receive any clicks and conversions.
  • Optimized the whole campaign by changing bids of keywords and all. Finally, i changed my bid strategy to automatic and got maximum clicks within my daily budget limit. Even though i dint get any conversions and my budget was reached the maximum limit.
  • Again, i have been following manual bidding, then now i am getting some clicks and optimized my AdWords landing page with seo optimization techniques to get conversions.
*Now my Ads are running successfully with satisfied ROI
