    False. There are absolutely advertisements within mobile Apps and you can either choose to include Apps if you’re advertising with Google Adwords or choose not to include your ads in mobile apps.

    A 2D code, also known as a QR code, is an image that is readable by a mobile device and that translates that code into a link. This obviates the need for the user to type out the url, so is being increasingly used for marketing purposes.  What does this code look like?

    • It looks like HTML text, programming language for computers.

    • It’s an image, so it looks like a photograph.

    • Square black dots on a square white background.

    • Black lines of varying thicknesses on a white background.

    Correct Answer
    A. Square black dots on a square white background.
    Explanation
    It’s typically square black dots on a square white background, and its rise in the marketing world has been meteoric. Still, many people see these funny-looking images and still don’t know what they are. Every mobile marketer should be familiar with 2D, or Quick-response (QR) codes and how to use them.

    It’s a good idea to use the same keywords for a mobile PPC campaign as you’re using for a regular mobile campaign.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    True. Keywords work the same way on mobile as they do elsewhere, so using the same keywords is a great place to start. You can then tweak which keywords you’re using as you see which keywords are working for mobile.

    Mobile-only sites, websites completely separate from your regular website that are dedicated exclusively for mobile users, are _____________________.

    • Industry standard and a best practice for everyone

    • Appropriate in some situations but not all

    • Never a good idea

    Correct Answer
    A. Appropriate in some situations but not all
    Explanation
    Mobile-only sites are a good idea in certain situations, such as when you have a specific use case for them or when you are just dipping your toe into using the mobile web. But they present problems, such as limited utility, content sprawl and duplicate content, so they are not necessarily a best practice.

    • One

    • Two

    Correct Answer

    When reporting on your mobile PPC campaigns, the Google AdWords report will NOT show you the clicks on the phone number.  So how do you work around this to understand how many calls you’ve received from your PPC ads?

    • Estimate that an industry-standard 2% of all calls come from PPC ads.

    • Use a unique phone number for your PPC ads

    • Ask your callers whether they are calling via click-to-call

    • All of the Above are valid ways to report calls from PPC ads

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a unique phone number for your PPC ads
    Explanation
    A unique phone number is the way to track how many calls you’re getting from a certain ad. The estimate of 2% is completely fictitious, and asking your callers is nowhere near as reliable as setting up a unique phone number.

    Instead of creating a duplicate website for mobile, it is preferable to use _____________ so that the version of your website that the user sees will depend on the device that he or she is using.

    • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

    • Inline Cascading Style Sheets (Inline CSS)

    • Both of the above, depending on functionality desired

    • Neither of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
    Explanation
    CSS, cascading style sheets, are the way to render your website differently for the mobile user. You’ll want to create at least 3 style sheets, one each for a desktap/laptop, a mobile device, and a tablet. CSS works by detecting what device a user is accessing from, and then redirecting that user to a certain style sheet. What CSS does is to specify a priority scheme that determines which style rules apply. Inline CSS, however, should not be used for mobile, as it overrides all other external CSS directions. Inline CSS is rarely used today, so it’s likely that it won’t even be a consideration.

    • Top left, just like a laptop

    • Top Middle

    • Center Middle

    • Bottom Middle

    Correct Answer
    A. Bottom Middle
    Explanation
    The spot most likely to be seen and clicked on a mobile device is the bottom middle, most easily reachable with the user’s thumb. This impacts mobile design, as you should place your big button with a specific call to action in that spot for optimal performance
