Seeing AdWords through your prospects’ eyes
H
ave you ever bought an ad in the Yellow Pages? If you did, maybe you 
were terrified and didn’t know what to write or how big an ad to buy. 
Maybe you weren’t sure which phonebooks to advertise in or what head-
ings to list under. Perhaps you had to pay thousands of dollars for an ad 
you wouldn’t be able to change for the next 12 months. And then there were 
those recurring nightmares that you mistyped the phone number, and some 
baffled hairdresser in Winston-Salem would receive thousands of calls from 
your customers.
Given all that, you will undoubtedly appreciate the significance of Google 
AdWords as a revolution in advertising.
You can set up an AdWords account in about five minutes for five dollars. Your 
ads can be seen by thousands of people searching specifically for what you 
have, and you don’t pay one red cent until a searcher clicks your ad to visit 
your website. You can change your ad copy any time you want. You can cancel 
unprofitable ads with the click of a mouse. You can run multiple ads simultane-
ously and figure out to the penny which ad makes you the most money.
Beyond that, you can even send customers to specific aisles and shelves 
of your store, depending on what they’re searching for. And you can get 
smarter and smarter over time, writing better ads, showing under more 
appropriate headings, choosing certain geographic markets and avoiding 
others. When your ads do well, you can even get Google to serve them as 
online newspaper and magazine ads, put them next to Google Maps locations, 
and broadcast them to cell phones — automatically.
