Press
Release Body: Bigmouthmedia has conducted Britain's
first survey of affiliate spending on PPC campaigns across the
country.
Commissioned to extend Europe's largest independent digital
marketing agency's understanding of the expanding UK affiliates
market, the research provides a fresh perspective on affiliates'
PPC costs across Britain. It reveals that London and the South
East continues to dominate the marketplace, but spending in regions
such as Scotland, Wales and the North West is beginning to reach
significant levels.
Compiled using data from a comprehensive range of affiliate networks,
the UK
affiliates PPC spending research has also enabled bigmouthmedia
to generate a wide range of spending ratios for specific verticals
such as travel, finance and fashion.
"Our research has shown that the affiliates are extremely
savvy when it comes to search marketing. If you're going to run
an affiliate campaign you absolutely need to coordinate it with
your search campaign," said Lyndsay Menzies, Managing
Director of bigmouthmedia UK.
"It will be interesting to see how the map changes after
Google alters its keywords bidding policy on May 6, but this has
been a fascinating survey that has not only redrawn the affiliates
map of Great Britain, but has also given bigmouthmedia's analysts
a detailed overview of the complex national marketplace and its
local fluctuations."
ClickAngel Director Ed Wilkinson added: "It
is notable that more than two thirds of all UK affiliate spend
identified in the bigmouthmedia survey was from outside London
and the South East. We see this as a reflection of the fact that
whilst there is still a general London centricity in terms of
the affiliate networks themselves, most of the investment and
enterprise that is actually driving the process comes pretty well
evenly distributed from all corners of the UK."
