– Think with Google
“Measuring the unmeasurable: how one retailer put a price on awareness campaigns.”
– Fabian Van De Wiele
“Internalizing media buying is often thought of as a first step in increasing digital maturity. However, most companies rapidly run into the same issues they faced when agencies were doing the media buying. Here’s where it goes wrong.”
– Search Engine Journal
“Google released a broad core algorithm update on July 1, 2021. This update is a continuation of last month’s core update. Google says it intended to add more to the June core update but ran out of time.”
– Search Engine Land
“New data indicates that unless advertisers are paying careful attention to their exclusion lists, there’s a chance that ads could be showing up next to fake news online.”
– Search Engine Journal
“Google’s John Mueller explains that using too many internal links on the same page can dilute their value, and goes over what to do instead. This topic is discussed during the Google Search Central SEO hangout recorded on July 2, 2021.”
– Search Engine Journal
“Google’s advice regarding using multiple types of schema structured data markup on the same page.”
“Related video extensions are now globally available to all advertisers who use Google Ads. With related video extensions, you can show a list of 2 to 5 related videos below your video ad on the YouTube mobile app.”
“We announced in February that we’re simplifying match types by combining the control of phrase match with the expanded reach of broad match modifier. As part of this change, both phrase and BMM keywords have adopted this updated matching behavior and are now the same. This means that keywords using the +keyword and “keyword” notations are now identical in how they match.”
– Search Engine Land
“Advertisers can continue monitoring FLoC or its new replacement and experiment with it so they’re ready to make the most of it the day 3rd party cookies stop working.”
– Simo Ahava
“Google Tag Manager has now released support for Conversion tracking using server-side tagging. The whole thing is quite … interesting, as it involves not just server-to-vendor calls, but also browser-to-server-to-browser-to-vendor requests. Why? Maybe you guessed it: third-party cookies.”
– Search Engine Land
“This could also be an expensive option if your budget is lower, as your initial CPA could fluctuate as the data is collected and optimized targeting figures things out.”
– Search Engine Journal
“Microsoft Advertising announced its July product releases and updates. Here’s what advertisers need to know!”
“Starting on July 6, 2021, and rolling out gradually over the upcoming months, we’re updating our cookies consent prompt and introducing a new third-party data control for people in the European Region. These changes are part of Facebook’s ongoing efforts to align our products to evolving privacy rules in Europe, such as updated regulatory guidance on the ePrivacy Directive.”
