Learn About Google AdWords Contextual Ads
Free 9 minute video offering tips on how to use Google AdWords contextual advertising. The video describes briefly some of the technology behind how the Google AdWords contextual ad network works.
A couple of the more interesting ideas covered in this video:
- the Contextual ads are not based on a single keyword, but the keyword list associated with a specific adgroup.
- In addition the adgroup creatives play are also used to help understand what ads to display.
- Max PPC and clickthrough rate also play into the order of the ads displayed.
- You want to use well themed keyword adgroups to help ensure your ads are delivered properly. Including generic words like laptop can make it harder for Google to understand what your adgroup is trying to sell.
- Using appropriate campaign negative keywords can also help further target your ads.
- Smart pricing helps reduce the cost of the ad based on Google's predicted value of the click.
Good ideas that were not covered:
- While many people find smart pricing to be effective you may also want to manually ensure proper price discounting by disabling content syndication on your search adgroups and then create lower priced adgroups with content syndication enabled.
