URL Keyword Targeting
URL Keyword targeting lets you target or exclude particular sites that may display your ads. The functionality is similar to Site targeting, but here you do not need to specify a particular domain, but simply the keywords you wish to target or avoid.
Sometimes campaigns use this feature to help avoid certain pages.
Example A campaign in the transportation industry might use this to avoid pages having the keyword accident. If you have this kind of concern you should also see Traffic Quality Targeting. |
A more common use is to anti-target pages that already feature ads for your product.
Example Suppose you were an automobile maker promoting your new car The Satellite. You might want to avoid placing ads on car dealer sites that already advertise this vehicle on the pages that probably have satellite in their URLs. This would also restrict the AI from placing the campaign's ads on other types of pages where they might be successful, e.g. space satellites. |
