Let’s first check it out for Search Ads and take up the topic of Placement Targeting.

• Placement targeting
  This method leads you to direct advertising upon specific publisher sites. Note of caution is to target the publisher sites relevant to your ad.
• Keyword targeting
  In this way you can vest responsibilities upon Google which in turn places them in relevant places for your ads. One vital tip is to blend ‘keyword targeting’ with ‘Placement targeting’.
• Topic targeting
  This is a broader targeting than ‘Placement targeting’. One vital tip is to exclude unwanted placements amidst your campaign on the basis of results coming out from ‘Topic targeting’.
• Interest targeting
  This is more or less similar to ‘Topic targeting’ except that it targets the user behavior.

Blending your target methods

Certain placements can be added with contextual targeting where you can instruct Google to display your ads say on high voltage sites like CNN when a visitor is browsing through it.

Creation of multiple ad groups is another interesting way where you can put one group against another. When one group succeeds, pause the other. You may alter target group/s for the first case.
