Before deleting or pausing a keyword or ad group who hasn’t generated
any last click conversion; we recommend running a first click report to
identify if he doesn’t help assisting conversions.
We use click time to optimize and transaction time for reporting.

56. USE OF MACHINE LEARNING IN REAL LIFE EXAMPLE
1. Billions of clicks take place on Google ads every day
2. We are trying to predict something => the likelihood of a user purchasing
3. There is no other feasible way to do this because it would be impossible for a human to calculate a bid
for every single combination of feature values.

Factoring in millions of signals to determine the optimal bid for every stage in the funnel,
across devices and products, and then it continually refines models of conversion
performance at different bid levels to maximize your results.
59. AUDIENCE TARGETING (LOOKALIKE)
MACHINE LEARNING
Facebook Business Manager provides a firsthand glimpse of how machine learning makes life
much easier for advertisers. For example, every time someone creates a target audience based
off of interest, machine learning has assisted that process. That’s because the interests an
advertiser can target on Facebook are all generated by a machine-learning algorithm that analyzes
information that users voluntarily put onto their Facebook profiles.
60. USE OF MACHINE LEARNING IN MKG &
BUSINESS
Netflix is one of the most preeminent brands putting predictive analytics in practice. The recommended
movies users see on the front page of their Netflix screen is curated by an algorithm, which offers
recommendations on movies, shows, documentaries and other content it believes a user will like based on
previous watch behavior.
61. DYNAMIC PRODUCT PRICING
MACHINE LEARNING
One such way machine learning is doing this is through dynamic pricing. In a
nutshell, dynamic pricing correlates price and sales trend data along with other
variables such as available inventory. The method has gained steam over the
course of the last decade, especially in the live events industry.
63. A bot (short for "robot") is an automated program that runs over the Internet.
Some bots run automatically, while others only execute commands when they
receive specific input. There are many different types of bots, but some common
examples include web crawlers, chat room bots, and malicious bots.

67. Bots aren’t evil forces out to replace
you. Instead, they’re tools that you can
use to get the results you want.
68. VOICE SEARCH
THE INCREASED ADOPTION RATE OF THESE ITEMS HAS OBVIOUSLY HAD SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON
SEARCH TRENDS.
69. ‘’Hey,
Siri’’
In fact, ComScore estimates that by 2020,
more than half of all searches will be done via
voice search.
Now we’re seeing more than 20 percent of all
mobile searches being done by voice, with no
signs of slowing down.
