Google discontinues ad-level location extensions

So far, so good. From reviewing my notes and tackling test papers, i'm getting closer to feeling comfortable enough to take the actual exam.

One thing i've done recently is take more notice of my Google+ account. I'm finding it a great way of keeping tabs on whats new in relation to Adsense and to read more about views from the Adsense and SEO community, especially with changes that may appear on the Adwords exam.

One of the people i have in my Google+ circles is Kim Clinkunbroomer, who alerted me to the article from Google informing Adwords users that Ad-level they will discontinuing ad-level location extensions from October 30th.

From the official notice, there are several specific points:

• All ad-level location extension settings will be moved to the campaign level.
• Any current campaign-level location extensions are now eligible to show for all ads in your campaign.
• If you have an ad that doesn’t have existing campaign-level location extensions, your ad may still appear as a standard text ad, but without an address.

Once the removal takes place, ads will continue to run using campaign-level location settings (if set), or without an extension in the ad.
