    Hi,
    I manage Adwords account for my company and I qualify to sit for the Adwords Pro exam as I have well met the requirements. But I am worried about whats gonna happen when I leave the company (which i m going to very soon;)).

    I have been told the qualification wouldn't carry over to new MCC. So I am considering starting a new account as soon as possible and transfer some of the budget to the new MCC for 90 days. Obviously with my company's knowlege!:p

    What you guys suggest? Is it the best way of meeting the requirement utilising my present budget?
    What are the implicatioins of using two separate MCC's to be promote one website?

    Look forward.

    Only a single Adword Accounts can promote the website. You cannot promote your website via two seperate Adword Accounts. If you try to, then both accounts will be suspended; and then your website url will be banned from advertising again.

    That is correct, bidding against yourself will get you banned. You could however move all the campaigns to the new domain name without your company's knowledge to build up some history with the account, then move it back before you leave.

    Try having a dummy domain, and put the landing page on that. I am not sure if google allows or checks this as well.

    DIdn't get that? Can you elaborate please?

    I was thinking of starting a new website and channel some of the budget there. That way I can test two different kind of ads/messages and would be Google-legit and my company shouldn't have any problem as well.

    What say?

    Having a mirror website is always a good idea, and is perfectly legit. If the click pays off its always better, to displace the competitors down with multiple bids on same keyword.

    Thing i said above was kind of pass through if you have only one website and want two ads. The second site will contain only the redirecting script to redirect customer to original site. (I think this is "google illegal")
