Leading search engine marketing company enhances its bid management platform with new optimization tool to improve PPC performance
Boston, MA, USA, October 14, 2005 -- Inceptor Inc. announced a new
feature in its BidCenter search engine advertising management platform that uses
mutual fund optimization techniques to help companies fine-tune bids to get the
best possible advertising rates and returns from search engines such as Google
AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing.
Portfolio Optimizer’s unique advantage over other optimization tools is that it
employs optimization techniques similar to those that professional money
managers use to optimize mutual funds. Advertisers create groups of keywords in
BidCenter and allow Portfolio Optimizer to determine individual bids to meet a
business goal. Pay per click advertisers are expected to spend over $10 billion
on search advertising in 2005.
“Effectively managing thousands of keywords at multiple search engines is
difficult even with a powerful management tool such as BidCenter,” said Vic
Odryna, President and CEO of Inceptor. “Portfolio Optimizer makes it easier
for advertisers to manage a large volume of keywords by grouping them together
in portfolios and assigning a performance rule. BidCenter can then automatically
adjust bids across the keywords to achieve the desired outcome.”
Portfolio Optimizer seeks to optimize PPC performance using principles and
methodologies similar to the financial industry. The object is to group keywords
that share a similar business objective such as “Generate maximum possible
revenue for the lowest cost per acquisition” or “Generate maximum
possible traffic for the lowest cost per click”.
“We developed a special heuristic algorithm and combined it with a predictive
modeler,” said Michael Sack, chief technology officer of Inceptor.
“Portfolio Optimizer is designed to calculate the recommended changes to your
bids every 24 hours and predict performance. Each day, BidCenter presents users
with recommendations and analysis which show current and predict future
performance of their portfolios based upon the acceptance of the
recommendations.”
Predictive modeling enables Portfolio Optimizer to gauge the outcome of several
different bidding strategies then select the strategy most likely to succeed.
“You can spend weeks analyzing data to determine the most optimal set of
changes to make,” said Sack. “But that is a waste of time. Portfolio
Optimizer can find a set of changes that gets you to your goal much faster –
often making critical changes to your bids within the first day.”
Portfolio Optimizer is available to interested search advertisers who subscribe
to BidCenter. BidCenter information can be found at

Subscriptions begin at $19.99 per month.
