When the budget limit is reached, your ads will typically stop showing for that day. How quickly your ads are shown during a given day is determined by your ad delivery setting. On any single day, the AdWords system may deliver up to 20% more clicks than your daily budget calls for. This helps make up for other days within the same billing period in which your daily budget is not reached due to variations in search patterns. (Days in which your daily budget is not reached may include partially paused days.) However, our system makes sure that in a given billing period, you're never charged more than the number of days in that billing period times your daily budget. For example, if you budget US$10 per day, and you're charged for a 30-day billing period, the maximum you would pay is US$300." How does AdWords discounter work?

The campaign accrued clicks more quickly than the AdWords system anticipated. Correct answer selected The AdWords system experienced a technical issue that caused statistics to be incorrectly displayed. This may seem like a 'silly question', but this is question and its answer options are very similar to one in the actual exam. There isn't anything mentioned within the AdWords Learning centre that would really corroborate any of the above answers, So lets look at each option carefully. If the advertiser had set the wrong time zone, then all of his campaigns would be affected. There is no reason why the AdWords system would automatically attempted to deliver most clicks by noon.

Please keep in mind that the application of our policies will always involve an element of discretion, and we reserve the right to reject or approve any ads. Ads and keywords are screened for products that: • may be subject to legal regulations and/or restrictions • may contribute to a negative user experience • may be contrary to Google's values or policies Below is a small sampling of products and services that we currently monitor. For a full list, see the AdWords content policy in its entirety." Which of the following is acceptable text in accordance with AdWords Editorial policies? Deal Deals Deals Great deals here Correct answer selected Bargains!!!! Click here for deals Google states• Spacing: You should have appropriate spacing between each word and after punctuation. For example, "C-h-e-a-p C-l-o-t-h-e-s" would not be allowed. Similarly, "Free Shipping.Buy Now" would also not be allowed. • Punctuation & Symbols: Punctuation cannot be used to attract a user's attention. It should not be unnecessary or repeated two or more times in a row. In addition, your ad title cannot contain an exclamation point, and an ad can contain only one exclamation point in total. Furthermore, all symbols, numbers, and letters must adhere to their true meaning; you may not use them in place of words. For example, "We have a huge selection 4 U online!" is violating this policy because "4" and "U" are replacing words. • Repetition: Repetition should not be used in a gimmicky manner or for the sake of promotion. Specifically, the same word cannot be repeated three or more times in a row. For example, an ad with the title "Deals, Deals, Deals Here" would not be allowed. The ad title should be replaced with a phrase like "Amazing Deals Here" to comply with this policy requirement. • Inappropriate Language: Ads, including the display URL, cannot contain language that may be considered inappropriate or offensive to some users. This also applies to misspellings, self-censored, or other variations of inappropriate language. • Unacceptable Phrases: Certain 'call-to-action' phrases cannot appear in the ad text if they are not descriptive of the product, service, or website. For example, a generic phrase like 'click here' would not be allowed. An example of a good 'call-to-action' phrase would be 'Order Your Online Contacts Today' because it is representative of the product and the site content. Superlative Claims: Superlatives are words that emphasize superiority. In the interest of making sure users feel they are being treated in an honest, credible manner, your ad text cannot contain comparative or subjective phrases such as "Best" or "#1" unless verified by a third party. This verification must be clearly displayed on your website. For example, if an ad claims to be the "Best of the Web," the site must display third party verification of the claim. A Forbes Magazine seal indicating this site received a best of the web award would be acceptable, and the ad would comply with this policy

Google's pricing. Google state"There are a few ways that Google AdWords has created value for return on investment. Let's see how Google does this through pricing: • Cost Per Click Model - With keyword advertising, the cost-per-click model is one way advertisers have a strong return, since they are only charged when a user clicks on the ad. • AdWords Discounter is a feature built into AdWords that will charge you the lowest possible CPC while still maintaining your position for each keyword. So even if you set an ad group maximum CPC of US$1.00, you won't necessarily be charged this full amount for every click. Your actual CPC (the amount you actually pay per click) is often less than the maximum CPC bid you specify for your ad group or keyword. Smart Pricing is a feature that automatically reduces the price advertisers pay for clicks if our data shows that a click from a Display Network page is less likely to result in a conversion. This means that if our smart pricing system predicts a particular Display Network page is likely to have a low conversion rate, we will automatically reduce the price advertisers pay for that click."
