I have been an AdWords account holder since December 2nd, 2003.

I tried it out in its early stages, and, like many beginning advertisers, failed miserably to make it work by making all the classic mistakes that this website will tell you about. Just because I failed, doesn’t mean you have to…

In those days, if your keyword CTR fell below 0.05% your ad would be disabled and if that happened three times, you had to pay Google to allow it to run again!

Because I could not invest the time to figure the system out, I put it on one side and concentrated on Search Engine Optimisation to get traffic to my websites.

This was successful, but having my ads on Google’s Search Results pages within minutes was an amazing thing to see – and it still is, even to this day.

Later, I stumbled across some training material for AdWords and decided to try again.

I became hooked and decided to concentrate on this fascinating field, becoming a Certified Google Advertising Professional in July 2005.

I now run AdWords Accounts for over 60 clients all over the world, in all realms and sizes of businesses both Retail and B2B.

I provide a wide range of Services, including

• Articles
• Tools and Resources
• Account Audits
• Action Guides
• Coaching and Training
• Account Management and Optimisation
• Wesite and Webmaster services
• Search Engine Optimisation advice

… and more
