No such thing as Canadian Google Advertising Professionals

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

 

This was an amazing discovery.. Couldn’t believe this really..

Us in the uk are oftern out of the US loop for example the like of ypn etc..

But the norm seemed to be us/canada then EU then the rest of the world..

But this time its different..

Yep us,uk,europe, asia and afrian countries are included.. but no canada..

Here a quote from  jensense

With all the countries that AdWords supports in their Google Advertising Professionals (GAP) program for becoming a Qualified Company, could Canadians be excluded from joining?

The answer is - unbelievably - yes. If you are Canadian, you cannot become a Qualfied Company in the Google Advertising Professionals program. The list of acceptable countries is here… there are 130 supported countries, including several countries I hadn’t even heard of before. But definitely no Canada. Canadians are only able to become qualified individuals.

Wow.. Paris hilton.. say no more

 

And on the question of whether Paris Hilton would give up her Juicy Juice for a shufti at Angelina Jolie’s hind quarters, the Duke University scientists confirmed that “celebrity” monkeys were just as interested in fellow celebs as the hoi polloi.

We are not all spammers in the uk..

Anyway ypn says :

 

We’ve been doing some tinkering under the bonnet recently, so some of you may notice a few changes in your ads. The changes you’re likely to see include the removal of ellipses (…) and truncated words, the inclusion of 40-character titles on certain ad units, and a change in the number of ads displayed on certain ad layouts.
