About Search Network with Display Select

The "Search Network with Display Select" campaign type helps you reach people as they use Google search or visit sites across the web.

How it worksYou manage your "Search Network with Display Select" campaigns the 
same way that you'd manage a "Search Network only" campaign: set a budget, choose relevant keywords, create ads, and set bids. 
Your ads can appear when people search for terms on Google search and search partner sites that match your keywords. They can also appear on relevant pages across the web on the Google Display Network. However, your ads are shown selectively on the Display Network and bidding is automated, helping you reach people who are most likely to be interested in the products and services you’re advertising.Learn more about Search Network With Display Select»

About the Display Network ad auction


The Display Network ad auction shares many similarities with the AdWords auction. Your ads are ranked among other advertisers' ads based on Ad Rank, which is based on your Max cost-per-click (CPC) bid and Quality Score. This means that if your Quality Score is sufficiently better than the score of the advertiser immediately below you, you could rank higher than that advertiser, even if this person's bid is higher than yours.

Just like in the AdWords auction, your Max CPC bid isn't necessarily how much you'll pay per click. The price you pay -- Actual CPC -- depends on the outcome of the auction, and it’s often less than your Max CPC bid.

 This is how the Display Network ad auction differs from the AdWords auction:

●You'll pay what's required to rank higher than the next best ad position only for incremental clicks you get from being in the current position.
●You'll pay the price you would have for the next best ad position for the rest of the clicks.Learn more about theDisplay Network Ad Auction»
Contextual targeting is one of a few different methods that you can use to get your ads on sites and web pages that are part of Google’s Display Network. This method of targeting uses the keywords or topics you’ve chosen to match your ads to relevant sites.

1.You choose keywords and topics - Keywords are individual words, whereas a topic is a web page’s concepts or central theme, rather than its individual terms.
2.Our system analyzes web pages that make up the Display Network - Our system analyzes the content of each Display Network web page or URL, considering factors such as the following:
●Text
●Language
●Link structure
●Page structure
3.Your ad gets placed

By keyword

When your keyword matches a web page’s concepts or its central theme, your ad is eligible to show on that web page (also known as an automatic placement). By topicWhen your topic matches a web page’s central theme, your ad is eligible to show on that web page.

●Google AdSense publisher sites, including AdSense for Domains and AdSense for Errors

●DoubleClick Ad Exchange publisher sites

●Google sites such as Google Finance, Blogger, Google Maps, and YouTube (Google search not included) 

With over 2 million Display Network sites that reach over 90% of Internet users worldwide (Source: Comscore), there are a lot of opportunities to reach customers. However, to target your customers effectively, choose campaign settings and add targeting methods to your ad groups that specify the conditions for when your ads can show on the Display Network.
