Comments on: Google Adwords — contacting clients directly — hmmmm http://blog.w3conversions.com/2005/10/google-adwords-contacting-clients-directly-hmmmm/ realizations on life, the web, and everything Mon, 16 Mar 2015 06:43:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Stef. http://blog.w3conversions.com/2005/10/google-adwords-contacting-clients-directly-hmmmm/comment-page-1/#comment-3291 Stef. Wed, 05 Oct 2005 03:53:19 +0000 http://www.communitymx.com/blog/index.cfm?newsid=607#comment-3291 Thanks for the response. Yes, I've read the FAQ's and yes, I've even run a campaign. That said, there is a lot more to it than most web developers have the time or inclination to put into it. I'm not at all saying that you can't learn how to do it. I don't have the time (I specialize in other things) -- nor have the people that I've watched do it -- the ones that just decided they could "figure it out." <br /> <br />I definitely disagree with the "steering clear of people that specialize" comment though. I know a couple of them fairly well and there's a definite science to it. Especially in the realm of copywriting, developing specific pages for the user to land on, and measuring results so the campaign can be adjusted and improved -- made more profitable. <br /> <br />I honestly can see very little positive in letting google handle it though. ;) YMMV.

Is it now common for "a web person" to have such lacking intelligence and knowledge? If you find someone or a business "specializing" in such, steer clear. You'd be wasting time and money. I suppose that holds true even if that person is "affiliated" with Google. I recommend reading the faqs, refer your clients to the same so they know what to expect.
