Creating ads
When it comes to creating ads, display ads in the past have had to spend a great deal of time building different shapes and sizes. Fortunately, thanks to Google's clever robots, we've created responsive display ads.
Responsive display ads allow you to upload some content in the form of images and videos. Add a few lines of different length copies and you're ready to go. Google automatically combines different assets to fit all the sizes and types of ads you need to ensure that your ads appear on as many sites as possible.

Target your display advertising network
You can target your audience on your display network and narrow your reach to those who are likely to be interested in your product or service. This can be achieved in the following ways:
Placement targeting
Placement targeting refers to the option of choosing which website to display. This gives you maximum control over where in the GDN it is displayed. This is effective in targeting specific demographics and provides advertisers with the opportunity to find websites with special interests that closely match their target audience.
So why if you have an industry-specific website or forum that you feel is relevant to your business and that you are likely to visit if people are interested in your service. Would you like to advertise to them?
Content target
This is the most common targeting type because it utilizes keywords related to the products and services we offer. First you need to create a keyword list. Google will do its best to display ads on sites related to the keywords you provide.
