Google Adwords Structured Snippet Extensions

On August 27th, Google began rolling out structured snippet ad extensions: advertiser-provided structured information that show with your text ads. This is another great extension that you can take advantage of as ad extensions typically increase click through rates, provide further information to the user, whilst reducing your cost per clicks as they are now an important factor in your Ad Rank.
