How to Create Adword Image Ads
Google image ads are similar to AdWords, although rather than displaying text, an image is displayed. Like AdWords, image ads are targeted by keyword and geographic location, depending on the preferences set by you, the user. Google image ads are pay-per-click, which means that you only pay for the ad when it is clicked -- not every time it is displayed. To create an image ad, you must have a Google AdWords account and opt-in to Display Network websites.
