Google Ads Introduction

We discussed how difficult it is to rank a website on top of the search results.

It requires lots of effort and time to rank a website.

But, if you are a new business or website or a website that struggles to rank in the top of the search results, what can you do?

Google saw an opportunity here and built its biggest cash cow business.

That's Adwords. (Now Called Google Ads)

Adwords is a boon to businesses who want the search engine traffic but couldn't rank their website through SEO.

And, Adwords give better control to businesses.

Here are few more reasons to use Adwords:

- Adwords has unparalleled reach.
- With AdWords, you could reach over 90% of the internet users worldwide.
- Adwords is the most controllable form of advertising around.

As an advertiser or marketer, you can control

- The keywords your ads show up for
- Your monthly budget (with no minimums)
- How much you’re willing to pay for a click
- The geographic areas where your ads appear
- The days/times your ads run
- The messaging of your ads
- The page on your website the ads lead to
- The ability to turn your ads on/off at any time

and more...

I'll tell you all about them in today's lesson - Introduction to Google Adwords.

You'll learn

New Schema.org support for retailer shipping data

Quick summary : Starting today, we support shippingDetails schema.org markup as an alternative way for retailers to be eligible for shipping details in Google Search results. Since June 2020, retailers have been able to list their products across different Google surfaces for free, including on Google Search . We are committed to supporting ways for the ecosystem to better connect with users that come to Google to look for the best products, brands, and retailers by investing both in more robust tooling in Google Merchant Center as well as with new kinds of schema.org options. Shipping details, including cost and expected delivery times, are often a key consideration for users making purchase decisions. In our own studies, we’ve heard that users abandon shopping checkouts because of unforeseen or uncertain shipping costs. This is why we will often show shipping cost information in certain result types, including on free listings on Google Sea...

The Search Console Training lives on

In November 2019 we announced the Search Console Training YouTube series and started publishing videos regularly. The goal of the series was to create updated video content to be used alongside Search documentation, for example in the Help Center and in the Developers site . The wonderful Google Developer Studio team (the engine behind those videos!) put together this fun blooper reel for the first wave of videos that we recorded in the Google London studio. So far we’ve published twelve episodes in the series, each focusing on a different part of the tool. We’ve seen it’s helping lots of people to learn how to use Search Console - so we decided to continue recording videos… at home! Please bear with the trucks, ambulances, neighbors, passing clouds, and of course the doorbell. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In addition to the location change, we’re also changing the scope of the new videos. Instead of focusing on one report at a time, we’ll discuss how ...

I have been playing Red Alert 3 for a very long time and its a war game. I realized, I have learned a lot of business lessons by playing Red Alert. And here are the top 3. 1. Don't Attack Too Soon In Red Alert, we have limited time and resources. I have to build an army with those resources and then attack my enemy. If I did not build a large enough army, I will lose the battle and also my troops. Once I lose my troops, I have to rebuild it from scratch. If I build a large enough troop after looking at my enemy, and attack with everything I have, I have a chance of winning. In business, it is similar. If you build a product and if it is not as good as your competitors, you will fail. Once you take it to the market and fail, there is no coming back. So have some patience and build a good product. Whe...
