- Running the same campaign a second time after it ends

Correct answer: Targeting ads to users who have previously interacted with a channel, video, or website
YouTube remarketing targets ads to users who have previously watched videos, visited a channel, or interacted with a website, re-engaging warm audiences who are more likely to convert.

- CPA (cost per acquisition)

CPV (cost per view) measures how much an advertiser pays for each counted video view, making it the standard efficiency metric for view-focused YouTube ad campaigns.

- Setting a maximum daily budget for the campaign
- Limiting the number of times a specific user sees the same ad within a defined period (Correct answer)
- Capping the length of video ads at a set duration
- Restricting ads to a maximum number of keywords
Correct answer: Limiting the number of times a specific user sees the same ad within a defined period
Frequency capping limits how many times an individual user is exposed to the same ad in a given time period, preventing ad fatigue and improving overall campaign experience.
Question 4: What is a 'YouTube Discovery Ad' (now called In-Feed Video Ad)?
- An ad that plays before a video automatically
- A sponsored video that appears in YouTube search results and alongside related videos (Correct answer)

In-Feed (Discovery) ads appear as sponsored thumbnails in YouTube search results and related video sections, driving viewers to watch a full video rather than interrupting existing content.

- Demographic targeting
- Custom intent audiences (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Custom intent audiences
Custom intent audiences (custom segments) let advertisers target YouTube viewers based on keywords they have recently searched on Google, capturing users with high purchase intent.
Question 6: What is the 'view-through conversion' metric in YouTube advertising?
- A conversion that happens during a video ad
- A conversion attributed to a user who saw a video ad but did not click it, and later converted (Correct answer)
- A conversion tracked only on YouTube's own platform
- A conversion from viewers who watched 100% of a video ad
Correct answer: A conversion attributed to a user who saw a video ad but did not click it, and later converted
View-through conversions are attributed to users who were served a video ad, did not click it, but subsequently converted within a defined attribution window, measuring brand influence without direct interaction.
