In a move toward increasing brand safety on the web, Google announced the addition of dynamic exclusion lists to help advertisers simplify the management of negative placements.

This feature also allows advertisers to opt into third-party lists and automatically keep their exclusions updated for ongoing brand protection. Dynamic exclusion lists can include web pages or entire domains and they will be available to be uploaded via a range of formats.

Read the article here.

Last month, a post on Google’s Developer blog about bid strategy updates spurred some controversy when it was misinterpreted to indicate that two smart bidding strategies were going away. Google confirmed what many PPCers had speculated: that the bid strategies aren’t going away, rather the Google Ads UI is getting a small facelift. With this change, what advertisers have known as Target CPA and Target ROAS will be grouped under the Maximize Conversions and Maximize Conversion value bid strategies, respectively. Google confirmed in an email exchange that the machine learning that powers the Target CPA and Target ROAS bid strategies will not change. The bid strategies will continue to function in the same way that they had but the way that advertisers set them up will be slightly different. Google shared that the goal of this change was to provide more clarity for advertisers. Google plans to begin rolling out these updates over the next weeks and months.
