Adwords PPC & Google Merchant Center link

Google Merchant Center is the latest incarnation of what was formerly known as Google Base. This was a service whereby e-commerce merchants selling products could supply a product feed to Google.

There appears to be little control over an optimisation of this link, but in practice it will certainly lift your CTR for any ads getting this assistance. Heres an example below -


To enable this link (assuming you have a Google Merchant Center account) simply navigate to the following section, add your Merchant ID and enable.
