Google Indexes Organic Keywords based on SEM Investment




We recently performed an experiment with a client that involved identifying which keywords would render the highest conversions (White Papers, Demo Requests). One of the spill-over benefits that were observed, involved the indexing of paid keywords across organic search results. 

The total program involved roughly 3,000 keywords (+subsequent Ad Groups) and was delivered over a period of 6 months. Of the total keyword count, roughly 20% generated conversions. This falls in-line with the age-old rule of 20/80 (20% of the keywords delivered 80% of the conversions). If you refer to the graph below, one can readily notice a direct correlation between the total investment and relative quantity of keywords indexed on organic traffic.;
