Find

Advertisers find ad placements in several ways, including:

• by listing websites where they want to advertise
• by searching for placements that match the themes and topics they want to target.

Targeting

If you target the same ads to serve on many different ad units, instead of adding all the different ad units to your targeting criteria, you can group those ad units into one placement and then just target that placement.
