After testing in the UK and Australia, Google have launched (Jan 14) Google Engage in the US and a lot of other countries.
http://www.google.com/ads/engage2011/engage-seo/
Google's plan is to push Adwords to small/medium business through local / small SEO companies.
Step 1 - Apply to become Engage member: http://href.li/?https://google-e ... id=us-en-ha-general
Make sure you fill the form completely, including a couple of sentences about why you want to be a member.
Step 2 - Wait a day or so for approval
Step 3 - Take the 4 Engage webinars... or at least go the last slide to grab the completion code.
Step 4 - Add all webinar 4 web completion codes (G001999, G002999, G00399, G00499) to the box under the "My Coupons" tab.
Step 5 - Click the "Get Certified" tab then apply for exam coupon codes
Step 6 - Wait for a while.
**Do not think that you know Adwords well enough to just pass the test without looking over the certification materials.** The exam has almost nothing to do with how to make money with Adwords and everything to do with Google's opinion on how you should manage your Adwords account.
The Adwords coupons are not meant for your use. They are meant to be a promotional tool for getting new clients. Each coupon is worth $105. You get 20 for completing the seminars. 10-20 for getting Adwords certified. You can also apply for more.
This worked for me the other day so should work good for you too. They didn't even bother to call me to confirm, just sent over the confirmation via email and after that I did the above and got 20 x £50 Adwords coupons, will get the same amount once I can be bothered to sit the exam which I have done before but let lapse. |
