Contextual Targeting

March 16th, 2010

What is contextual targeting?

Contextual targeting is used to match ads that include keyword targeting to sites within the Content Network. Google analyzes each site’s content and theme, considering factors such as text, language, link structure, and page structure. From these factors, Google determines the central themes of each webpage and targets AdWords ads to the page based on the advertiser’s keyword selections and language and location targeting. As a result, contextually targeted ads provide useful information to readers, and attract an audience with an established interest in your message.

For instance, suppose you’ve created an ad group to advertise digital cameras, and it includes keywords like “digital cameras” and “camera cases.” We use contextual targeting to identify and place your ad on Google Content Network sites that share the same themes. That might mean webpages about camera equipment, discussion groups of camera enthusiasts, or a newsletter about digital photography.

Contextual targeting is always used when an ad group has keywords and the Content Network option is selected in the campaign settings page. This type of targeting can work with ad groups that have only keywords as well as ad groups that have both keywords and placements.

You can fine-tune ads for contextual targeting by using the site exclusion function in your AdWords account. With site exclusion, you can choose sites, or types of sites, that you don’t want your ads to appear on – such as competitor sites, low conversion rate sites, or sites that conflict with your interests.You can also combine keyword targeting and placement targeting in the same ad group. This lets you define specific content sites where you want your ads to appear (based on your keywords), and allows you to bid more effectively when a keyword match is found on a targeted site.

Keyword Advertising

March 16th, 2010

Keyword Advertising

This type of advertising uses keywords to trigger ads. Typically, advertisers select a set of keywords related to the product or service they wish to advertise. The ads are then displayed in relevant places based on those keywords. For example, Google matches advertiser-selected keywords to user search terms on Google.com in order to show relevant ads.

Google Network

March 16th, 2010

Where will my ads appear when people search?

Ads with keywords

Ads from ad groups with keywords can appear on Google and the Google Network:

  • Google search results pages: Alongside or above the search results.
  • The Google Network: Search and content websites, plus other products and blogs. The Google Network is the largest advertising network available online, reaching over 86% of Internet users worldwide. You can be certain that your ads reach your target audience with Google AdWords.

The Search Network

Your ads may appear alongside or above search results, as part of a results page as a user navigates through a site’s directory, or on other relevant search pages. Our global Search Network includes Google Maps, Google Product Search and Google Groups along with entities such as Virgin Media and Amazon.com.

The Content Network partners

Google’s extensive Content Network of websites and products includes these partners:

Google Adwords

March 16th, 2010

What is Google AdWords?

With Google AdWords, you can create and run ads for your business, quickly and simply. Run your ads on Google and our advertising network — no matter what your budget, you’ll only pay when people click your ads.

AdWords ads are displayed along with search results when someone searches Google using one of your keywords. Ads appear under ‘Sponsored links’ in the side column of a search page, and may also appear in additional positions above the free search results. That way, you’ll be advertising to an audience that’s already interested in your business. You can also choose to display your ads on content sites in the growing Google Network. And, you can choose the exact content placements where you’d like your ad to appear, or you can let Contextual Targeting match your keywords content.

You can choose from a variety of ad formats, including text, image, and video ads, and easily track your ad performance using the reports available in your account.

There’s no minimum monthly charge with AdWords — just a nominal activation fee, plus the management level that you choose.
