“The Year of Big Changes” is one way to describe e-commerce in 2012. Social media networks, like Pinterest and Google+, gave retailers more ways to become visible to consumers while edifying consumer relevance in search. The shift to Google Shopping really changed the rules of the game and brought us Google Trusted Stores, which proves to be of great benefit to participating retailers. Plus, new strategies for remarketing are extending seasonality for retailers. All of these changes to paid search in the last 12 months are affecting how retailers approach and optimize their paid search campaigns.
