Good explanation of Google AdWords auction process

28th March, 2009 @ 23:33 by Ed

We manage a number of Google AdWords campaigns for our clients, but sometimes new clients don’t understand the value in outsourcing the management and optimisation to us - probably my fault for not explaining it properly!

Anyway, I thought this was a really good, plain English explanation of the Google AdWords auction system and how it works, and it starts to show the kind of things we have to take into account when managing and optimising campaigns for our clients.

On a slight tangent, I can’t help be amused at how a company as cutting edge and opulent as Google decided not to use some young geek with cool animated/digital graphics for this presentation, and instead opted for this geezer explaining the system on a whiteboard with a marker pen and sticky bits of paper. So old school. I love it.

do1 giving free advice at Enterprise 09 by Business Link in 1000 Lakeside, Portsmouth

12th March, 2009 @ 13:37 by Ed

do1 has been invited by Business Link to give free 15 minute one-to-one business advice sessions at their major event, Enterprise 09, which is taking place in our own home of 1000 Lakeside in Portsmouth’s North Harbour area on Thursday the 23rd of April.

The event covers a wide range of topics and themes, with free advice from other leading local companies across different industries. There’s also a keynote speech by one of the blokes from Dragon’s Den too.

I’m quite looking forward to meeting lots of new businesses and chatting to them about their web needs/dilemmas and hopefully I’ll be able to help them all out. I’ll be chained to a desk from 10am til 7pm, and I believe I’m dealing with a different business every 20 minutes, so I guess that’s 27 businesses in total for the day (lunch is for wimps). Hope to see you there!
