2.You can use superlatives like "best" if they are backed up by a third party
3.When you opt-out of the Google search network, your ads still show on Google search results pages, but do not show on Google’s search partners.
4.Embedded match allows the ad to appear on all variations of the keyword except for the exact match of the keyword.
5.Embedded match utilizes phrase match, exact match, and negative match.
6.In order for a site-targeted image ad to appear on a page, its CPM must outrank the eCPM of the top four keyword-targeted text ads

8.In Google analytics - Pages with the highest $Index are those pages which were commonly visited prior to high-value conversions during the same visit.

11.When editing keywords using the Find and Edit Keywords Tool, the Ad Words system considers the edited words as new keywords.
12.Site Exclusion is applied at the Campaign level.
13.The Keyword Grouper in the Ad words Editor regroups keywords from one ad group into more granular ad groups
14.Use the keyword grouper tool on already grouped keywords to create even more ad groups and write different ad copy for each one. This will help improve quality score.
15.Always create duplicate campaigns to run on the content network only.
