Where (Online), Where (in the Real World), and When to Display Your Ad Jim Jansen College of Information Sciences and Technology The Pennsylvania State University jjansen@ist.psu.edu
Google’s Network: In addition to Google, itself … Google’s Gmail Google’s Search Network Partners Google’s Content Network Partners
Google Network • By Default, your ads appear everywhere • Google search results pages, alongside or above the search results • Global search network, alongside or above the search results • Content sites, displayed as banner ads (gmail is included) • This is good business for Google • Whether it is good business for you is something that you need to determine • How do we determine this? • We will separate our traffic into at least two campaigns
Separate Campaigns for Each Network • We will run one campaign on the Google and Google Search Partners • and, we will ‘copy’ this campaign structure for the content network. • Why do we do this? • To make analysis and performance management easier (the content network generates a lot more impressions but few clicks compared to the search networks) • Bids are lower • The ads need to be different
But Wait? • Do I have to do re-create all my campaigns from scratch? That’s a lot of work! • No – use the AdWords Editor!
What About Pre-Campaign Reports? • Do I need to include in the diagram the campaigns on both the Search and Content Networks? • No need really, just a brief comment about your strategy (e.g., We are running a similar campaign structure on the search and content networks.) • If you have space, maybe comment about bids, placements, and ads on content network.
Other Types of Special Targeting • Geo-targeting (i.e., where do my ads appear) • Time target (i.e., when do my ads appear) • Note: both are at the campaign level (not account and not AdGroup)
Geo-targeting • Target your ads to specific locations and languages. • Default setting is by country • Can target by regions and cities • Customized Options • Circular • Multi-point
Geo-targeting Options Here is an example of a multi-point geo-targeted campaign around the city of Charlottesville, Virginia.
Time Targeting • Target your ads to show for specific days and times • or conversely, pause your ads for specfic days and times • Default is 24/7 • Can change bids based on time
Time Targeting Here is an example of a 24/7 time targeted campaign.
At the campaign level How do I get to this stuff?
