Google Enhanced Campaign's 101
By now, most search marketers have at least heard of Google's new Enhanced Campaign option. It was taken out of Beta a few weeks ago, and now is available in all accounts. I wanted to take some time to go over the basics, discuss some misconceptions, and explain exactly how this affects your Google AdWords accounts.
So let's start with the basics.
What is an Enhanced Campaign? It's Google's way of meshing Placement Targeted content campaigns with Keyword Targeted content campaigns. While writing this article, I will assume you have separated out your Search and Content campaigns (AdWords 101.)
What's the big deal?
Many people are not aware that in traditional Placement Targeted campaigns, your ad can show ANWHERE on the sites that you target. This means that your ad is less likely to be shown at the 'moment of relevance.' Keyword Targeted content campaigns do this, but they target the entire content network. Advertisers wanted to do both: use keywords to target certain sites. Voila! Google gave us Enhanced Campaigns. Thank you Google!
