Hooray, Just Passed My Last Google Adwords Exam

May 29th, 2010 Sheldon Nesdale No comments

I just passed two Google Adwords exams:

  1. Google Advertising Fundamentals Exam
  2. Search Advertising Advanced Exam

Look at this cute little certificate Google gave me as my reward!

And here is my profile page at Adwords.Google.com offering my services

Now you know who to talk to if:

  • You have an Adwords account but you want to get a better return on investment
  • You want to try Adwords for the first time

… me!

Cheers,

Sheldon.

More Google Adwords Promotional Vouchers To Give Away Before They Expire, Worth NZ$125 Each

March 26th, 2010 Sheldon Nesdale 5 comments

I just noticed that my list of Google Adwords Promotional Vouchers are about to expire (end of March 2010).

So I better give them away.

To you.

They only work on new Adwords accounts that are less than 2 weeks old.

Just add your details below (include the website you will use it for so I can have a peek).

Hooray! Google Just Issued Me With 20 More NZ$125 Adwords Vouchers

January 17th, 2010 Sheldon Nesdale No comments

Got an email late last night from Google providing me with 20 free Google Adwords Vouchers valued at NZ$125 each!

Thank goodness for that, since my last batch of Adwords Promotional Credits expired on New Years Eve just over 2 weeks ago, I was starting to think they had forgotten about me.

Would you like to try Google Adwords?

If you haven’t tried internet advertising with Google Adwords before, I can help get you started and provide you with one of these NZ$125 vouchers as a bonus.

Call me on (07) 575 8799, or email me.

Eeek! My Google Adwords Promotional Credits All Expired on 31 December!

January 6th, 2010 Sheldon Nesdale No comments

This morning I was setting up a new client in Google Adwords and went to apply one of the 20 NZ$125 promotional codes that Google issued me in October 2009, but I got the error message “sorry, that promotional code has expired”.

I tried the next one on my list, and the next one, and the next one, all with the same result.

I emailed Adwords Help Desk and got a quick reply to tell me ALL 20 of the credits had expired just 6 days ago! Damn!

That’s NZ$2500 worth of free internet advertising I wasted because I didn’t use it! (by the way, each credit can only be applied once to a brand new Adwords account)

If I had any idea they were going to expire so quickly I would have just given them away.

After scouring the internet for people in a similar situation I found the blog article of Hillel Stoler who was giving away his Adwords credits for free. So I applied and he emailed me the code a few minutes ago and it worked! Now I have the credit that I promised my client, fantastic!

So thanks to Hillel for getting me out of a jam :)

I think he has a few left so if you are in the same situation as me, act fast, and ask for a Google Adwords promotional credit from him on his blog.
