Are these seminars worth it?, I've been using adwords for over 5 years, would the advanced seminar be any help? Vene
If you have ever spoken to a google rep you will know they don't even know there own system... They just regurgitate whatever google teaches them and whatever they pickup from real advertisers. They have no real world experience, because they are not advertisers monitoring their own accounts for their own benefit so their ideas and opinions are biased and trained. If they are this way, how do you expect an adwords seminar to help? You will have better luck going to seminars put on by professionals in the industry...
It depends on what level you're at really. If you are hesitant to even open an account because you have no clue what you're doing, they might be helpful. However, if you've got some experience, it would just be a re-hash of old information that you already know.
Yes they are hugely helpful, even with 5 yrs experience. They are not put on by Google but by professionals who do this for a living. I have been to several and always walk away with lots of great info that saves and makes me lots of money. Plus is it only a day or two out of your life and cost very little. I have no problem.
Also, they won't tell you how to get the biggest bang for you buck. They want you to spend, spend, spend.
You are wrong. I learned many inside tricks to lower my cpc, campaign cost and increase effectiveness. knowledge = power Like I said, Google does not run these, but rather shops that do adwords and adsense for a living and run training sessions on the side. Many lecturers have worked for Google in the past. If you don't go, it will help people like me, however, it is one or two days out of your busy schedule and cheap....what is the downside. Then again, if you know everything, what are you doing in this forum.
