What is contextual advertising?

Contextual advertising, sometimes referred to as Content Targeting, is an innovative feature of Google AdWords that enables you to gain more customers easier than ever before. Building on our successful keyword targeting technology, we place highly-targeted AdWords ads on content pages within our extensive network of high-quality partner sites and products. This service, known as contextual advertising, improves the experience of web users by displaying useful ads, and it provides several benefits to Google advertisers:

    1. ROI Performance: Keyword-targeted contextual ads bring unique, pre-qualified leads for a cost-per-click that you set yourself.
    2. Extend reach: Increase the number of potential customers that see your ads, and drive more incremental clicks to your website than you could reach with search advertising alone.
    3. Save Time and Money: Contextual targeting is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get your ads to more relevant places on the Web. And you only pay for clicks that you receive.
