Google Ads work by using keywords i.e. "postgresql new version" etc. They can be targetted geographically and also
withina budget. 

You target an ad by using phrases that you know the intended audience will use in their google searches. For example,
ifyou want to attract the attention of MS SQL Server users then you would use phrases that they themselves type in a
search.Our ad then appears off to the side. 

We should generate a list of keywords and see where this leads.
