Google Ad words Program: How does it work?
Google is the most popular search engines on the internet.
Google Ad Words is a quick and simple way to purchase highly targeted cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-impression (CPM) advertising.
Ad Words Program is based on Keyword Selection .

Keywords Selection
Google offers four options for the keyword matching, which are:
Broad: The match is for large category say your keyword is Tenant Screening, your ads will be shown for both Tenant and Screening.
Exact: If you place a square bracket around your keyword then only when your particular keyword is searched, your ad will be shown. Say for French Translation, you must write [Tenant Screening].
Phrase: Include the keyword in quotes “Tenant Screening” so the ads will be shown even if your keyword is present in the searched phrase. Example : “Tenant Screening services provider in USA”
Negative: You can block your ad from being shown if certain words are present in the searched phrase.

On the Campaign Summary page, find the 'Create a new campaign' links just above the table of existing campaigns.
Click either the site-targeted or keyword-targeted link to begin creating a new campaign of that type.
