Wow- congrats to Alan! Love hearing a success story, especially because there are so many other stories out there that poo-poo adwords as a waste of time/money.

It is so interesting (and not a little bit creepy) that if you are typing in gmail an ad displays about what you are typing.

I got the $100 adwords coupon, too, and tossed it aside…
now I’m thinking I should dig it up.

Michelle, I wonder if part of it is that more people are using Gmail now than they were a few years ago? Alan said a lot of his leads were coming from “passive” searchers. People who were emailing a friend about welding, and his add just popped up in the sidebar.

Megan, I get those, too, and never pay any attention! If you do start a mini-campaign, I’m curious to see how it goes! (Um, you go first!)

Wow – I am eager to try this now. I keep getting “$100 free adwords” coupons in the mail from my hosting company. Maybe its time to read their fine print and start a mini-campaign.

Thanks Kelly!
