 Are you a looker ?

google want’s to see your smile..

Its an odd request but hey… why not..

If you want to share your photo, visit this page for all the details. Along with your photo, we ask that you include your name, your customer ID number (so we can match you up with your account), your business name, and a description of the photo. High resolution images, greater than 5 megapixels, are best. We’d also love it if you could include a paragraph describing your business and how you are using AdWords. If we use your photo we’ll also send you a small thank you gift. Thanks for helping to make our offices a happier, smilier place.

 Quoted from google :

Looking to increase the number of conversions you’re getting on your site? If so, you’ll likely be interested to hear what Ann-Lee, from the Website Optimizer team, has to say about a new tool:

So google allowing us to play with our page content but just with them

Website Optimizer to experiment with your landing page does not have any impact on your Quality Score

 Pretty cool.. I assume google going to take this info and work out web page formations and “maybe” include them in rankings ?

Maps in the Palm in your hand..

Quote from the google blog..

Since we first launched Google Maps for mobile devices, we’ve adapted it to more phones and languages and added features like traffic info. And as of today, the new Palm Treo version answers our top request from users. It’s been months in the making, but I think you’ll find it worth the wait. We think this is the fastest, slickest version yet, with draggable maps and translucent pop-up balloons that don’t hide the map.

People still have been wondering about when ads well go live on mobile devices

New tools.. Must go and play

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.

You can now login into your adwords account and try the mobile ads out..

From Google:

What do mobile ads look like?

Mobile ads contain two lines of text, with a limit of 12 or 18 characters per line, depending on the language in which you write your ad. Your Destination URL appears on a third line if you choose to enter one. If you select the option that allows customers to directly connect to your business phone, a Call link will be displayed next to your Destination URL.

 Great if your promoting pizza’s but Iv’e got site that I could test this on
