When user enter any search query, you see advertisements either at the top or bottom or anywhere related to that query, that are Google adwords. Advertisers can exclude those IP address ranges where they don't want their ads to appear. Google determines the subject of pages and displays relevant ads based on the keyword lists provided by advertiser.
                                             Recent Updates
1. Local Product Listing Ads

Local availability for product listing ads let customers know what is available at nearby stores based on their query. After clicking the ad, product and availability information along with similar items in stock at the store are easily accessible. This program is still only available to a limited number of merchants and requires at least 10 stores, and the ability to upload 4 data feed regularly.

2. View estimate for multiple keywords

You can now add bid simulator columns in your keywords report to quickly view estimates for multiple keywords. 

3. Consumer Ratings
Consumer ratings annotations highlight industry-specific ratings based on consumer surveys. Up to three of your best ratings show below the text of your search ads, along with a link to more ratings. These annotations—which need no setup—help drive website traffic with the power of consumer opinion,” AdWords mentioned in their help section.

4. Dynamic Remarketing Using Google Analytics
On March 12th, Google announced that remarketing with GA is becoming even more powerful. A single set of tags can now power both Google Analytics and dynamic remarketing using the Google Merchant Center. 

5. Business become flexible using Advanced Conversion Reporting
At the end of February, you should have noticed a few new terms in your Adwords account. What was the conversions (one-per-click) and conversions (many-per-click) columns got replaced with converted clicks and conversions columns.
 
6. Update Conversion Values without updating Conversion Tag
Not all conversions have the same value. For example, a newsletter sign up will be worth less to most businesses than an actual sale.
By assigning different values to different conversions, you’ll be able to see the total value across different conversions. This gives advertisers more insight and results in better reporting rather than simply recording number of conversions that have happened. It is now simple to change conversion values!
  • Click the Tools tab and select Conversions.
  • Select an existing Conversion that you want to add a value to.
  • For an existing action, click the Settings tab and then click Edit Settings to enter a value for this action.
  • Choose “Each conversion has the same value,” enter a numeric value, and click Save. You don’t need to update your tag — any value in your tag will be ignored and replaced with this value.
7. Shopping Campaigns 
 
On February 18th, Google announced that Shopping campaigns are officially available to all advertisers around the world. The new campaign type provides a more retail centric way of targeting products, more robust reporting, and competitive insights.
We’re very excited about the opportunities that come with Shopping campaigns. It makes life easier for retailers who want to get more granular with their targeting, solving many problems that exist today. Its features help clients manage, exclude and prioritize their products and can help clients continue to see increased ROI on PLAs in the future.” - Todd Bowman, Product Manager, RKG
