The Launch of Google Plus Post Ads

In April 2014, Google launched Google+ Post Ads. Google launched this advertising tool in an effort to encourage brands to advertise their content instead of their products. This way, brands who use Google+ Post Ads can provide more valuable content to their target audience.

When you use Post+ Ads to promote your Plus content, you’ll be able to create interactive advertisements for your customers. In fact, customers will be able to +1 your content, share Post+ ads, and even join Google Hangouts. This will allow people to interact with your content without realizing it!
