Becoming a Google Advertising Professional December 19, 2006

Posted by Stray Dog in : Google, Adwords , trackback

Since I need to become vastly more knowledgeable about Google AdWords in general I thought I may as well work towards achieving my Google Advertising Professional status. This accreditation is available for individuals who have signed up for the professional program, successfully achieved 75% or better on the accreditation exam and managed AdWords accounts that accumulate a minimum of $1000 spent over a 90 day period. I am fortunate as I am able to ‘manage’ the AdWords account for a client that spends more than enough for me to achieve this goal. Guess I do have some luck some of the time…

I spent some time today Googling to see if there was any slant one way or the other as to the effectiveness of this Google accreditation. I did not really read of anything too much either way - good or bad. Knowledge is never a bad thing and since I need to learn more on this anyway I have decided to make my own accreditation a goal for the first quarter of 2007.

Google has a great learning center that is available to anyone, not just those working towards accreditation. Lessons in the learning center are provided in both text based and multimedia (for those with shorter attention spans I guess - and I’m thankful for this…) versions.

In addition to other things I may add here I’ll start mentioning more about the learning center and what I find out.
