Explore conversion opportunities with Google’s content network
April 20th, 2009 | Published in Google Conversions
The Google content network is a highly effective way to do this for a couple of key reasons. Firstly, internet users spend 95% of their time online on non-search sites. When you show your ads on the content network, you can reach potential customers as they browse websites relevant to your products and services. This also means that you can reach customers at different points in the buying cycle, providing you with multiple points at which you can show your ad and drive more conversions. Secondly, using this targeting, the average AdWords advertiser already gets 20% of their conversions from the content network, with an average cost-per-acquisition that is 2% lower than on search*. Learn how to take advantage of the opportunities the content network presents, or brush up on your existing knowledge, through the video clip series below.
