1. Change in Ad Rank Formula: In 2013 Google announced the most important update in their Ad Rank formula. Ad Rank formula is not a new feature added to ad-word, this change affects the metrics how Ad-Words decide the ranking order of competing ads on a keyword search listing page. It plays an important role in determining the importance of your ads on a search results page and your cost-per-click.
2. Flexible Bid Strategies: In May 2013 Google give an option to users to apply different bidding strategies within the same campaign or across different campaigns. Whether it’s Cost per Click position optimization or conversion, this customization will allow users to tailor campaigns with more appropriate bidding strategies.
