Learn about Display Network Advertising with Google AdWords

Join us every Wednesday at 11am PST on the Google+ Your Business page to learn about the tools that Google offers your business. This week, we’re excited to bring you a Hangout On Air about advertising on the Google Display Network.

The Display Network is a powerful tool that can help you reach potential customers that may not be actively looking for you on search engines. In fact, 95% of users’ time is spent outside of search. During the Hangout, we’ll show you how to harness the Display Network to select appropriate targeting options and identify important performance metrics for your business. Join us to learn more about topics like image ads, branding your business, and re-engaging users who have previously visited your site. In addition, we’re excited to invite two Top Contributors, Kim and Theresa, from the AdWords Community to share their personal experience advertising on the Display Network.

Just sign into Google+ and add the Google+ Your Business page to your circles. Post questions ahead of time - simply look for the post that we put up every Monday morning soliciting your questions. Then, on Wednesday, navigate to your Stream where you’ll be able to view our Hangout live with just one click!

We’re excited to see you, answer your questions, and teach you a little about AdWords!

Brits, Aussies, and Kiwis: see what Americans have been buzzing about for weeks!

We launched a new look for the AdWords Help Center and it's now available in your countries! Since we introduced it in the U.S. just a few weeks ago, thousands of AdWords users in America have already opted-in. And the feedback is overwhelmingly positive! You asked for a better Help Center -- you got it!

Here are the changes we're rolling out today:

1. Simpler navigation: More easily navigate to the right content using the new menu at the top of each page.

2. Visible contact options: Find options to reach Google with a click on the "Contact us" button in the top right of any page.

3. More screenshots and videos: Use the screenshots and videos in many of the articles to quickly learn how to make the most of Google AdWords.

Ready to try the new Help Center? Opt-in today. Just click the "try the new look" window. Not ready for the new look just yet? You can opt-in later using the yellow bar at the top of any page.

Of course, you can opt-out at any time by selecting “Go back to the old look” in the bottom right corner (but we hope you'll like it too much to leave!).

We’re rolling out the changes gradually, so stay tuned for updates and more helpful articles over the next few months.
