'neuer matchingtyp bei google: Automatic Matching (beta)

Automatic Matching (beta) nur für freigeschaltete beta-test accounts (zzt.)

Dear AdWords Advertiser,

On May 20, 2008, a checkbox will appear on your campaigns' 'Edit Campaign Settings' pages giving you access to an optional beta feature called 'automatic matching.' The feature will be enabled by default, although it won't begin to affect your account until June 3, 2008.

Please use this time to decide if you'd like to participate in the automatic matching beta. If you wouldn't, simply uncheck the box on the 'Edit Campaign Settings' page for each of your campaigns before June 3rd. Below you'll find more information about automatic matching and how to opt out, if you choose to do so.


I. About Automatic Matching

Automatic matching shows your ads on relevant search queries not already captured by your keywords. It works by analyzing the content of the landing pages, ads, and keywords in your ad group. It then shows your ads on search queries relevant to this information.
The system will continually monitor your performance on these queries and adjust its matches accordingly. Automatic matching aims to show your ads only on queries that yield a high clickthrough rate (CTR) and a cost-per-click (CPC) comparable to or lower than your ad group's current average CPC. This way, your ads receive additional targeted traffic at a similar cost to your current traffic.

Automatic matching won't affect the traffic you're currently receiving. In addition, automatic matching will have no impact if your campaigns already capture the majority of relevant traffic.

See a list of frequently asked questions about automatic matching at http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=13669&hl=en_US.


II. How to Opt Out
See full instructions for opting out at http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86319&hl=en_US. Remember, you'll be able to opt out as early as May 20th, but the feature won't begin to affect your account until June 3rd.

If you have a large number of campaigns in your account and don't want to opt each one out of automatic matching, please reply to this email by May 29th stating that you don't wish to participate in this beta.

We're eager to hear your feedback once this feature has run in your account for a few weeks - just reply to this email with any comments or suggestions.

Thank you for advertising with us. We look forward to providing you with the best advertising service possible.

Sincerely,

Google Factory Tour of Search (webcast)

Google Enables Third Party Tracking For Content Network

Google is accepting third-party advertising tags on the Google content network in North America. This will empower advertisers to work with approved third parties to serve and track display ads, including rich media ads, across the Google content network through AdWords, giving them more options, flexibility and control over their campaigns.

We had not accepted third-party tags in the past because we didn't have a process for reviewing ads to make sure that they comply with our format standards and policies, which were established to ensure that ads we serve provide the best possible user experience. Now that's in place.

Ad servers, rich media ad agencies and research firms can now go through a certification process that ensures the highest level of advertiser service and user experience. In fact, advertisers and agencies now have the ability to serve ads and measure performance through these certified third parties:
  • Advertiser ad servers: DoubleClick (DFA), Mediaplex
  • Rich media agencies: DoubleClick Rich Media, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Interpolls, PointRoll, Unicast
  • Research firms: Dynamic Logic, IAG Research, InsightExpress, Factor TG
We will be certifying more third-party partners in the future.

Advertisers and agencies will now be able to manage their Google content network campaigns with the same systems they use for other online campaigns, which is helpful for determining the effectiveness of their online advertising mix. Further, this new service gives advertisers and agencies more opportunities to increase their return on investment and reach new audiences in informed and creative ways. The response from those testing early versions of the program have been positive.

For publishers on the network, this program offers a way to expand their advertiser base and enable advertisers to better understand the value of their inventory, with the goal of increasing their overall revenue. And they'll be able to show more compelling display ads to their visitors, enhancing their web experience.










Google has announced that they will now support the ability for advertisers to track their ads using third party advertising tags. This new feature is only available within Google's content network (aka AdSense) and only available for North America based advertisers.

In the past, the only way to track your impression data was to trust Google's AdWords reports. Now, it appears you can use third party tags to track content network ad impressions and clicks. The supported and certified ad tracking tags include:

(1) Advertiser ad servers: DoubleClick (DFA), Mediaplex
(2) Rich media agencies: DoubleClick Rich Media, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Interpolls, PointRoll, Unicast
(3) Research firms: Dynamic Logic, IAG Research, InsightExpress, Factor TG

Google said they will be adding more over time. Google then explains the pros for advertisers and publishers:
