Google Advertising Professionals Profile

December 30, 2009

What happens to a Google Advertising Professionals Pro Center profile when an account becomes inactive or disabled by the Adwords Professional?

Previously, the Pro Center link would return a Google 404 error.

Google has fixed these dead links by providing the following Google Profile Unavailable page.

Google Professionals Search Beta

Google has finally got their Professionals Search Beta operational.

I discovered the Professionals Search Beta over a month ago when the site wasn’t yet operational.

The Professionals search feature now appears to be functional.

I guess I better renew my Google Advertising Professionals credentials.

WeFollow Google Adwords Rank

December 23, 2009

I was surprised to learn my Twitter account profile ranks 12th most influential in the WeFollow Twitter directory for Adwords.

WeFollow Adwords

WeFollow Adwords

Particulary when their are many other Adwords labeled Twitter accounts who have significantly more followers than me.

WeFollow’s Influence ranking must not be based on pure quantitty of followers because there are also several accounts with fewer followers than mine.

I guess if I want to move up their list I had better Tweet more about Google Adwords.

Today I reached the following conclusion:

What’s the difference between bloggers & journalists?

Bloggers blog to get attention.

Journalists write to give attention.

The People Have Tweeted: The Tweet As An Endorsement

December 21, 2009

In today’s Wall Street Journal there is a full page ad from a gum manufacturer featuring Twitter Tweets as “endoresments” of their product.

The ad  begins with “The people have Tweeted.”

The ad then features Tweets that speak highly of their gum brand from ten different Twitter accounts.

The People Have Tweeted

Readers are then encouraged to follow the brand @ Twiter.com/tridentlayers

I wonder if Trident had to get permission from each of the Tweeters to use their Tweet in their promotional materials or if the Tweeters were compensated for endorsing Trident Layers?

Time permitting, I am going to contact each of them and see if they were even aware their Tweets had been used in a full page Wall Street Journal ad or not.

The following ten Twitter accounts endorsed Trident Layers gum.

MsCalcote, eddahlen, warob, cameron_crazy, xstandforitx, mattchew03, amybites, FitBottomedGirl, melissakmurray and lollieshopping.

I sure hope for Trident’s sake they alerted these Tweeters first (not me) about using their Tweets and that none of the above Twitterers are employees, friends or family members of any of their ad agencies.
