    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A PPC Ad consists of a headline, 2 description lines, and a website’s url address.  True or False:  The web address url must display the exact link that a user is sent to if the user clicks the ad.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    That’s false. The display url can be your website’s homepage even if a click results in the user being sent to a landing page within your website. The rule is that the link has to show what website, but not exactly what page within the website.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Within the display network, if your ad contains a video, it is advisable to select the setting that allows the video to play automatically when the ad appears.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    False. No such setting exists, as this is not allowed. Users must click a video for it to play. So your opening image needs to be one that entices the user to play your video.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    A “Backlink”, or an inbound link, is a list of all links to a certain website.  Whose backlinks should you look at when you’re beginning an affiliate marketing program?

    • A.

      Facebook's

    • B.

      Any coupon company's or other such affiliates'

    • C.

      All of your competitors

    • D.

      Only your competitors’ who have affiliate marketing programs

    Correct Answer
    D. Only your competitors’ who have affiliate marketing programs
    Explanation
    You should look at the backlinks of any competitor of yours that you know has an affiliate marketing program. If you’re just looking at any competitor’s backlinks, you’re performing an SEO function. But finding out which affiliates are linking to (i.e. affiliates for) your competitors, can help you recruit (or even steal) them as affiliates of your own. To find a website’s backlinks, simply Google “Link: www.yourcompetitorswebsite.com”.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Basic Google Ad Setting.  Which should you choose under the heading of “Ad Rotation”?

    • A.

      Optimize: Show better performing ads more often

    • B.

      Rotate: Show ads more evenly

    Correct Answer
    B. Rotate: Show ads more evenly
    Explanation
    Rotate, don’t optimize. When you choose “optimize”, Google shows the ad with the highest click-through rate more often, but those may not be the same as the ones with the greatest purchase amount. Click-through is not the ultimate goal, revenue is. So rotate the ads until you’re able to compile your own research showing which ads lead to better results.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    When considering ads on the search network versus ads on the display network, which network’s ad should be more overtly enticing and targeted toward a buyer in an early stage of the buying process?

    • A.

      An ad for the search network

    • B.

      An ad for the display network

    • C.

      Both ads should be roughly the same

    Correct Answer
    B. An ad for the display network
    Explanation
    It’s important that ads for the display network are more overtly enticing, as users only see these ads when they’re browsing about something else. So you have to overtly attract their attention and understand that they may not even be looking for your product or service. Users that see ads on the search network are already searching for something and are more likely to have heard of your product or service, so these ads can be targeted toward a later stage in the buying process.
