Ans – In simplest of words, Adwords is an advertising platform that Google has created to accommodate the marketing of goods or services on search engines. It also works on the affiliate sites of google. It is a system where the keywords go through a bidding process and the highest bidder for the most appropriate search term has his ads ranking higher.

We can say that it is the technique of pay per click advertising in which the advertiser has to pay for every click on his advertisement. This service is used by advertisers for online promotion of the content, brand, website, etc through certain defined keywords to achieve traffic or leads.

Q.2  Explain what do you mean by AdWords keywords?

Ans – Adwords Keywords are the ideas or topics that are used for describing your product or service. They should match your ads which are auctioned by Google, and advertisers bid on them. The advertisement will then help a webpage to appear on a Search Engine Page Result (SEPR) based on the auctioned keyword when people are searching for a related or exact product or service. 

Q.3 Explain what do you mean by keyword density?

Ans – Keyword density can be defined as the number of times a certain focus keyword is used in the text. This helps in placing the most relevant keywords throughout your content. It is very important as it helps search engines work out what your content is about.

Q.4  Explain how many types of keywords are there?

Ans -There are 3 types of keywords – long-tail, short-tail, and medium tail. Some other types of keywords are intent-targeting, customer defining, product defining, geo-targeting, short-term, long-term, and LSI. 

Q.5 Explain how Google Adwords works?

Ans – Adwords works on “pay for every click” which means you only pay the amount you have bid if someone taps on your ad as a result of a web search. The work of Adwords is extremely effective for many kinds of businesses as it works directly under the bidding system and if the bidding price is higher your ad will rank on top of the Google page.

Q.6 Explain Why To Use Google Adwords?

Ans – Google Adwords helps businesses to tap into potential customers. When the users searches using relevant keywords, the advertisement gets displayed. The traffic that comes through surfing often visits the website for information; whereas the traffic is generated through pay per click knows what they are clicking on and what they want to buy. 

Thus few visitors through Adwords might be more valuable than a million visitors. This helps businesses by getting relevant leads and traffic at a much faster pace. It is also a great budget saving technique.

It is determined by your bid for that keyword and quality score and the expected results. It takes many factors into account such as device, location, likes, search times and the time.

Q.8  What is the best way to describe CTR and how do you calculate CTR (Click Through Rate)?

Ans – CTR or click-through rate is a metric that measures the total number of clicks advertisers receive on the ads and how your ads are performing. It is calculated by dividing the total clicks on your ad by the total impressions received by your ads and then multiplying the result by 100. In essence, CTR = (total clicks/total impressions)*100.

Q.9 Explain what is Google Quality Score?

Ans – Google’s Quality Score determines how relevant the keyword is. It also determines how beneficial and relevant your ad is to the user, based primarily on certain factors such as CTR, quality of your landing page and keyword relevance.  

Higher quality score keywords will save your money and will result in higher Ad ranking thus getting more conversions.

Q.10  What is an ad group in Google AdWords?

Ans – It is an umbrella term for all the keywords, advertisements, and landing pages. An ad group contains one or more ads that target a similar shared set of keywords. An advertiser can put relevant keywords in one ad group. 

Google rewards advertisers who prepare tightly structured ad groups in their Adwords campaigns. It is very important that one should use ad groups to organize the ads by a common theme. You can bid on your ad group’s keywords to trigger ads or you can also set prices for individual keywords within the ad groups. It is also named as cost-per-click bid.

Q.11 Explain what is Conversion Optimizer in AdWords?

Ans – Conversion optimizer in AdWords is a specific tool that helps you to drive more conversions that are possible at a lower cost. It automatically adjusts bid and uses your AdWords conversion tracking data to manage the bidding process at keyword level so that your ads drive as most conversions are generated within a defined cost per conversion (also called cost per action, CPA). 

It also helps in getting the best return on investment by segregating the unprofitable clicks from the profitable clicks for your campaigns.

Q.12 How does Google Adwords bidding work?

Ans – Google Adwords bidding process helps in determining the actual position of your ad and it also determines your ad rank, maximum bid time’s quality score. The highest ad rank gets the no. 1 ad position on the SERP. The actual CPC will be determined by the ad rank of the next highest ad below you divided by the Quality Score of your ad.

The only rule is when you are the only bidder or the lowest bid in the Google Ads auction; then you pay your maximum bid per click! Google AdWords bidding heavily penalizes advertisers who bid with low-quality scores. And those with High-Quality Scores get higher ad ranks and lower CPC.

Q.13 Can you elaborate on how does a Google auction works?

Ans – Once the user searches for a  query in the search box, Google search engine processes the request and runs an auction and once it processes the data, advertiser decides the maximum budget that he would allocate for an ad. Then Google takes into account the quality of the ad, the bidding amount and the expected clicks. Depending on these factors Google would determine where to put the ad.

Q.21 What is difference between CPM, CPC, and CPV?

Ans – CPM is the cost per thousand impressions. This amount has no relation with ad clicks of an advertisement based on how many impressions it picks up, whereas CPC is the cost per click for an advertisement based on how many clicks it receives on the landing page. 

On the other hand, we can say that CPV stands for cost per visitor when advertisers pay for each unique user view of an advertisement or website (usually used with pop-ups, pop-under, and interstitial ads). Cost per view on YouTube is more aligned with video marketing, where you pay Google for viewing your ad. In CPV bidding, an advertiser pays you for driving each unique visitor to their site.
