&lt;p&gt;
Cutting down on PPC expenditures is at the forefront of SEM discussions these days. By the looks of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://impaqt.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;search marketing agency IMPAQT&amp;#39;s&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; newly enhanced Adaptive Bidding tool, marketers will be able to do more with less - a key to surving in today&amp;#39;s economic climate for many businesses. In some instances the tool is reducing cost for search-originated acquisitions by nearly 80%. That&amp;#39;s the sort of saving that can&amp;#39;t be overlooked.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The enhanced version of the tool integrates &amp;lsquo;shocks&amp;rsquo; - streams of data from offline data - that could influence suggested bids. When shocks are combined with the history of paid search results, what results is a semi-automated analysis model that provides keyword-level bid recommendations on a daily basis &amp;ndash; at an unmatched accuracy.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to IMPAQT, the longer the system runs, the better it &amp;lsquo;learns&amp;rsquo; and the more accurate its bidding suggestions become, according to IMPAQT&amp;rsquo;s VP of Analytics and Decision Support, Dr. Pat Stroh, whose team created and carried out the proprietary algorithms responsible for the success of the product.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The upgrade to include shocks adds a level of detail that sharpens the bidding, &amp;ldquo; according to IMPAQT&amp;rsquo;s VP of Analytics and Decision Support, Dr. Pat Stroh. &amp;ldquo;When shocks are added to a paid Search campaign which has thousands of keywords and millions of data points, it can be extremely meaningful to the outcome.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
