Adwords referencing
Google Adwords is an advertising platform. The principle is simple! The keywords are auctioned. And it is the advertiser who offers the largest budget that wins. However, this is not enough to appear on the first page. Content and extension can play a crucial role in determining the ranking. In addition, ads can be displayed on different channels:
- advertising on the traditional search network, in Google's search results,
- advertising on the display network, on Google display network websites and on websites such as YouTube and Gmail,
- remarketing,
- advertising on mobiles and tablets,
- and video advertising.
In any case, creating a Google Adwords advertising campaign can bring significant returns on investment for a company.
