    It's very helpful. I had no idea about Google Ad-words and how it worked. How ad campaigns run. I was searching for a hands-on experience and I got it here.

    NOTE: The double screening can be a bit of a problem for you. However, open a new window not a tab and enable the video to play when window is inactive from the settings option. So, when she speaks, you can follow it with a better view.

    Good Luck!

    Coursera helps to increase optimization skills and they increase a eye q level To begin, I recommend taking a few minutes to explore the course site. Review the material we’ll cover each week, and preview the assignments you’ll need to complete to pass the course. Click Discussions to see forums where you can discuss the course material with fellow students taking the class.

    Google ads for beginners are exciting to learn because the material explained is easy to understand and easy to practice when the course starts. Besides that, the quizzes in the course made it very easy for me when I wanted to understand the material that had been given and after doing all the processes the most fun thing was getting a certificate for free.

    El curso ayuda a tener un primer contacto con las distintas parametrizaciones de campañas en Google Ads. Los videos son muy claros. Como oportunidad de mejora, sería bueno que al mostrar el análisis de estadísticas se contara con datos en las campañas de modo tal de poder entender mejor lo que se puede hacer y analizar.

    The information was helpful, it was comfortable to take on a new subject/skill with the instructor. The only problem I had personally was the screen size, when using that side by side workspace. No problem with the Google Ads class itself, it gives you a comprehensive introduction to Google Ads.

    Very practical guide. Good addendum if you have a plan in your head, this how-to helps you where to click in the software (=learning the mechanics). First do the official Google Digital Marketing Academy and then the hands-on here! The workspace (Rhyme) is fine to work in.

    Good tutorial for beginners; though, it would help more students if there were more examples for each campaign type and sample data for analytics. Thanks Ishita for this video tutorial. I can get started in creating google Ads.
