Google has become a major player in the digital advertising market, leveraging its various platforms and services to generate a substantial share of its revenue. With the introduction of Google Ads, the company democratized the digital advertising market, allowing anyone with content that attracted attention to monetize it. Google Marketing Platform provides tools for major business advertisers, as well as analytics tools for smaller companies. The costs of these campaigns can depend on what the advertiser wants to achieve.
Advertisers are eager to have more video inventory at their disposal, especially if they can buy it programmatically with data. Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, highlighted advances in AI, machine learning and automation during its earnings call as ways to help advertisers find opportunities. Keeping the number of ads stable over time is essential to assess the health of the advertising machine. Facebook's impact in the second quarter before reaching “critical mass” in the past three months led to weaker ad targeting, increasing advertising costs and making it difficult to measure campaign effectiveness. Search and other properties make up the bulk of Google's advertising revenue, while YouTube advertising saw a jump of nearly 50% year-on-year in the first quarter. The program works similarly to Google Ads, but allows non-Google websites to incorporate Google advertising on their pages.
Before Google existed, marketers couldn't understand all the conversion metrics of their ads in detail. Google entered the search engine market relatively late (it was the eighteenth search engine to launch on the market), but quickly gained ground. Microsoft couldn't stop Google from capturing most of the search market shares, as it had previously done with the browser market by taking over Netscape's market shares. In 2004, Google had just managed to scale its advertising machine composed mainly of Google AdWords (now Google Ads) and Google AdSense. A district judge unsealed an antitrust lawsuit filed by more than a dozen state attorneys general alleging that Google gave itself an unfair advantage through its digital advertising auctions that allowed it to win more auctions and charge much higher advertising fees than its rivals. Advertisers are very happy to have more video inventory at their disposal, especially if they can buy it programmatically at scale with data.
