Google South Africa going hard at Adwords...
Received this the other day...
Dear Google Analytics User,
As a Google Analytics customer, we know that you care about the quality of traffic coming to your website, so we wanted to introduce you to Google AdWords. AdWords works by placing targeted advertising alongside Google's search results.
To help you get started with AdWords we've sent you a voucher for ZAR1000 of Google AdWords advertising. The voucher is risk and commitment free, so start advertising today and drive more traffic to your website.
Well. I'm hooked. Is this legit? If so - signs that Google South Africa are starting to ramp up the pace to drive budget through Adwords. And cross-selling. All ooh-aah digital goodness.

I got a 75 pound voucher from Google UK recently and it seemed legit. Haven't try to use it yet though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... I think it's great. The only prob I've found - is that you have to be a bit techie to get full value from adwords (ie proper wholesome conversion tracking).
ReplyDeleteI also received it. Got me a R1000 adwords voucher and a personal code thingie with it.
ReplyDeleteWith my blog network in growth-mode I signed up for Adsense instead.
I think the R1000 voucher thing is almost like - in the 70s - when they started advertising products for R99.99 instead of R100.. people in the know knows that R1000 won't buy you much, but hey. let's put it out there and see what happens. It's more a psychological thing than anything else.
On the upside, Google South Africa deserves a whole lotta respect for reaching out to (mostly) bloggers and other Analytics users. Someone over there has read The Long Tail, and it's not Stafford Masie.
R1000 Adwords!! Wow I really could do with that!
