    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that in single request mode, the browser sends one request to the server, notifying it of all the ad units on the page.

    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because forecasting is indeed designed to ensure that directly sold line items, which are premium ads that are sold directly to advertisers, reach their impression goals.

    Reusing creative reduces mistakes and facilitates quick changes to orders when an advertiser wants to replace or remove the content of a line item.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Reusing creative allows advertisers to avoid making mistakes and enables them to quickly make changes to orders.

This statement implies that any modifications or updates to an order or proposal should be made using the DSM (Digital Service Management) system. This system likely provides a centralized platform for managing and tracking orders/proposals, ensuring that all changes are properly documented and communicated. By using DSM, it is easier to maintain a clear audit trail of changes and ensure that all stakeholders have access to the most up-to-date information. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

    • House (16)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given answer is true because the line item priorities are listed from highest to lowest. The priorities are assigned numerical values, with lower numbers indicating higher priority. Therefore, Sponsorship has the highest priority with a value of 4, followed by Standard (High) with a value of 6, Standard (Normal) with a value of 8, and so on. The line items with the same priority are listed together, such as Network, Bulk, and Price Priority, all having a priority value of 12. Finally, House has the lowest priority with a value of 16.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Underdelivery happens when there aren't enough available impressions for a line item.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Underdelivery occurs when there is a shortage of available impressions for a line item. This means that the line item is not able to reach its intended target audience or achieve the desired number of impressions. This can happen due to various reasons such as high demand for impressions, limited inventory, or targeting restrictions. In such cases, the line item may not be able to deliver the expected results and may fall short of its goals.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    What you should NOT do when managing underdelivery: Do NOT change the line item type.  Also, do NOT change the deliver impressions setting to ‘as fast as possible.’

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When managing underdelivery, it is advised not to change the line item type. Changing the line item type may result in altering the targeting or delivery settings, which can further impact the performance and effectiveness of the campaign. Similarly, changing the deliver impressions setting to "as fast as possible" can lead to an uneven distribution of impressions and can negatively affect the pacing and delivery of the campaign. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid making these changes when managing underdelivery.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    If an advertiser asks you if there are 50,000 available impressions for a campaign that they are contemplating booking, you can check by selecting a goal and entering the number of impressions or clicks you want.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    *You might select Goal if, for example, an advertiser asks you if there are 1,000,000 available impressions available for a campaign it’s contemplating booking with you. You could then view the competing line items screen to gauge how running the campaign for 1,000,000 impressions would affect booked inventory, and vice versa.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Special ad units, which are marked with an asterisk (*), require that you explicitly target them. Any line items that aren’t explicitly targeting the ad unit will stop delivering to that ad unit.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    *Special ad units, which are marked with an asterisk (*), require that you explicitly target them. Any line items that aren’t explicitly targeting the ad unit will stop delivering to that ad unit. However, if you exclude a top-level ad unit that has special ad units beneath it, everything within that top-level ad unit will still be excluded, even special ad units. If a line item is targeting a placement that contains a special ad unit but is not explicitly targeting the special ad unit, the line item will not deliver to the special ad unit.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Optimized creative rotation: If a line item has more than one creative of the same size and you select the optimized rotation option, DoubleClick for Publishers will give roughly 75% of the impressions to the creative with the highest Click Through Rate, and the remaining 25% to the other creatives.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a line item has multiple creatives of the same size and the optimized rotation option is selected, DoubleClick for Publishers will allocate approximately 75% of the impressions to the creative with the highest Click Through Rate (CTR). The remaining 25% of impressions will be distributed among the other creatives. This means that the creative with the highest CTR will receive the majority of impressions, while the other creatives will receive a smaller portion. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that when previewing a creative, you can verify if the click tracking macros are correctly inserted by clicking on the previewed creative. If the click tracking macro is properly inserted, you will receive a message confirming that clicks will be recorded by Google. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Within one priority level (i.e. Network, Bulk, & Price Priority are all priority 12), the ad server prioritizes by goal type:
    • Percentage based
    • Impression based
    • Unlimited

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The ad server prioritizes ads within one priority level based on the goal type. This means that ads with a percentage-based goal will be given priority over ads with an impression-based or unlimited goal, regardless of their priority level. Therefore, the statement "The ad server prioritizes by goal type" is true.

    The explanation for the given correct answer is that once a proposal has been pushed to DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers), the next steps involve approving the order in DFP and then adding a creative to line items by clicking on the "Add a creative link".
