Google has a new experiment going on with the aim of increasing advertisers exposure for Black Friday and Cyber Monday ads. The experiment has launched on Google ads using the promotion extensions. From now up until November 27, users of Google may notice Black Friday ad formats when they type in keywords and phrases such as “Black Friday deals” or the “product name/brand name black Friday” and variants of those phrases. Ads that show up will be powered by the promotion extensions.
The ad unit will be shown right at the top of the search engine result pages and there will be links leading off to each of the retailers included in the ad unit. You can try out this experiment for your businesses but there are no guarantees that the promotions you create will end up in the ad unit. However, there’s no chance at all if you don’t give it a go.
