1How many websites, apps, and videos does the Google Display Network (GDN) reach in 2026?

A.~100,000 websites

B.~1 million websites

C.Over 3 million websites, apps, and videos — reaching 90%+ of internet users

D.Only Google-owned properties

Explanation: The Google Display Network reaches over 3 million websites, mobile apps, and videos, covering 90%+ of global internet users. This scale makes GDN one of the largest advertising networks in the world. It includes YouTube, Gmail, AdSense publishers, and Google products.

2Which campaign type on GDN primarily uses image and responsive creative to build awareness and drive consideration?

A.Search

B.Display

C.Video

D.Shopping

Explanation: Display campaigns serve image, responsive, and HTML5 ads across GDN placements. They are typically used for upper-funnel awareness and consideration, though Display can also drive direct response with retargeting.

3Responsive Display Ads (RDAs) automatically combine which asset types?

A.Only images

B.Images, logos, videos, headlines, descriptions — Google AI tests combinations

C.Only HTML5 files

D.Only text

Explanation: Responsive Display Ads combine up to 15 images, 5 logos, 5 videos, 5 headlines, 5 long headlines, and 5 descriptions. Google AI creates combinations that fit any GDN placement (banners, native, text-only spots). This replaced legacy static image ads for most use cases.

4What is the maximum file size for uploaded images in Responsive Display Ads?

A.1 MB

B.5 MB

C.10 MB

D.50 MB

Explanation: Uploaded images for RDAs max out at 5 MB per asset. Minimum dimensions are 600x314 (landscape) and 300x300 (square). Logos follow separate size rules. Exceeding limits causes upload rejection.

5Which audience type targets users based on long-term interests and lifestyle (e.g., sports fans, tech enthusiasts)?

A.Affinity audiences

B.In-market audiences

C.Custom intent

D.Remarketing

Explanation: Affinity audiences target users based on broad, long-term interests, habits, and lifestyles. They are suited to upper-funnel branding. In-market audiences target users actively researching purchases (more bottom-funnel), and custom segments/intent let you define audiences by keywords or URLs.

6Which audience type targets users actively researching products or services with intent to purchase in the short term?

A.Affinity

B.In-market

C.Detailed demographics

D.Similar audiences

Explanation: In-market audiences identify users signaling near-term purchase intent through their searches, content consumption, and site visits. They are typically higher-converting but lower-reach than affinity. Google maintains hundreds of in-market categories (e.g., 'In-market: CRM Software').

7Custom segments (formerly Custom Intent and Custom Affinity) let advertisers build audiences using:

A.Competitor passwords

B.Keywords, URLs, apps, or YouTube channels relevant to their product

C.Only demographic sliders

D.Only CRM data

Explanation: Custom segments combine custom intent and custom affinity into a unified audience builder. Advertisers provide keywords, URLs of relevant sites, apps, or YouTube channels, and Google builds an audience of users showing matching interest. This gives finer targeting than built-in segments.

8Remarketing on Display targets which users?

A.Users who have never visited the site

B.Users who previously interacted with the advertiser's site, app, or YouTube content

C.All Google users

D.Only Gmail users

Explanation: Remarketing (now often called 'Your data segments') targets users who previously visited the advertiser's site/app/YouTube channel. It drives strong ROI for re-engagement — abandoned cart, product page visitors, past converters. Built via the Google tag + audience definitions in Google Ads or GA4.

9Similar audiences (Display/YouTube):

A.Are still active in 2026 unchanged from 2015

B.Were deprecated in 2023 and replaced by optimized targeting and Customer Match-expanded audiences

C.Only work on Search

D.Are the same as affinity

Explanation: Google deprecated similar audiences in 2023 for Display, YouTube, Demand Gen, Search, Shopping, and Standard Display. They were replaced by optimized targeting (Display/Demand Gen) and Customer Match-based expansion. Advertisers should migrate to first-party data and optimized targeting.

10Optimized targeting (in Display/Demand Gen) does what?

A.Overrides budget limits

B.Finds new users similar to those most likely to convert, even beyond selected audience signals

C.Pauses keywords

D.Disables Smart Bidding

Explanation: Optimized targeting uses conversion data and audience signals as a starting point, then expands beyond them to find new converting users. It is enabled by default on Display and Demand Gen campaigns using Smart Bidding. Turn off if you need strict audience containment.
