Google AdWords Certified Partner Status Achieved

October 21, 2010

Happily today I received the following email from the Google Certified Partner team:

Google AdWords Certified Partner Status Achieved

Google AdWords Certified Partner Status Achieved

I was one of the first people to achieve the Adwords Qualified Individual status shortly after the Google Adwords certification program was launched in 2005.

When the program first came out, there weren’t any ongoing testing and certification requirements.

AdWords has changed a lot since 2005 let alone since March 5, 2002 when I opened my first Adwords account!

For example, I don’t think Google had even initiated advertising on the “Content Network” now known as the Google Display Network when I was first certified in 2005.

I am glad to have once again achieved Google AdWords Certified Partner Status.

Google Webmaster Tools: Top 20 Site Keywords

October 8, 2010

If you haven’t installed Google Webmaster Tools on your site, I highly recommend doing so.

Combined together – data from Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics and Google Adwords, provide actionable insight from three different and valuable perspectives.

After posting here for over 730 days in a row, I have decided to take a moment and reflect on what kind of traffic and results my site has produced during that time period.

Overall, I am happy with both my content product and the results it has produced.

However, going forward I want to apply all of theĀ  insight and knowledge I have gained from having remained on task.

Since I didn’t start out with an editorial calender let alone a content plan when I began blogging , I thought I would use the Google Webmaster’s Tool Top 20 Site Keywords data to see what it is exactly I have been writing about for the last several years. I have a general idea, but Google’s data has specific ideas about the nature of my site.

Fortunately, the Top 20 Site Keywords tool reveals a theme consistent with my consulting practice focus vis-a-vis the keywords most often found and thus associated with this site.

Here are the top 20 keywords associated with the Search Marketing Communications domain and blog –

Granted, without a formalized content planĀ  – the subject matter found within this blog could be considered wide and not necessarily focused.

Going forward, I plan to continue writing about the above subjects while also covering some of the following topics not in any particular order –

Ad Agency Training

After nearly two weeks on the road, I will be back in my office tomorrow.
