SearchMarketers Helps Fund Start-up - EVENaBAG.com - on Kickstarter!

EVENaBAG.com, a start-up messenger bag design brand based in Berlin and Chicago, was successfully funded on Kickstarter this Tuesday, achieving 109% of its fundraising goal at nearly $20,000 USD. The raised capital from Kickstarter and other sources will allow EVENaBAG.com to place its first production order for over 500 messenger bags before the holidays with first expected delivery possible by Spring 2014.

SearchMarketers.com, its agency of record, had developed an effective, low-cost strategy applying social media, display re-targeting, and search in the months before the Kickstarter launch. SearchMarketers.com was able to successfully target prospective buyers, driving awareness of EVENaBAG.com, and driving users to "back" the campaign while it was live on Kickstarter.

EVENaBAG.com CEO and co-founder Rocco Kruse shared his enthusiasm at achieving the fundraising goal: "We are so thrilled to have made it on Kickstarter. It means so much to us. We still have a lot more to do now, but we made it, and we have our partners, SearchMarketers.com, to thank for a very successful strategy."

Google Changes It's Paid Search Ad Ranking Algorithm

Google announced a major change to it's ad ranking algorithm, which now factors in ad extensions and ad formats towards paid search ranking.  This is a major change in the paid search ecosystem and can effect all advertisers in a positive way if properly using ad extensions, or negatively impact search ranking if ad extensions are not used correctly or not used at all.   

Ad extensions give your search engine listing more real estate in the search results and can increase your CTR and chances of gaining a click on any particular search query.  Using best practices and applying the necessary extensions can help you improve the user experience and deep link users to the most relevant page within your website directly from Google.
