Course Description

Overview:

Today, web-based marketing goes beyond advertisements that appear on search engine results pages (SERPs). Robust web marketing with Google AdWords™ allows you to show ads on sites that partner with Google, on the Google Display Network, so your ads appear with content during the course of normal web browsing and web content consumption. Google AdWords targeting technology also helps you define the type of audience you want to reach or the type of content that relates to what you’re advertising. In this way, your ads will appear next to content that is relevant and related, and they will potentially be viewed by consumers who are most interested in the products and services you have to offer.

AdWords tools and technology can automatically find places to show your ads or help you find sites that are potentially a good fit. They can show you statistics and demographics about sites and help you define the audience target for your campaign. Once your campaign is running, AdWords can help you view how your ads are performing and refine targeting to get the best results out of your campaign.

Advertising on the Google Display Network is a complex undertaking. There are many different approaches and options for targeting your campaign, and different strategies for optimizing it. In this course, you will create a Display Network campaign, define location and language targeting, and schedule when your ads will run. You will optimize your Display Network targeting and create a YouTube campaign. Then you will optimize the landing pages associated with the campaign.
