HOW TO USE GOOGLE ADVERTISING FOR YOUR BUSINESS, INSTITUTION OR ORGANISATION
ABOUT THE GOOGLE WORKSHOP (ADWORDS) - ADVERTISING & MARKETING TRAINING
Google is undoubtedly the most popular search engine by far in the USA and UK; in May 2008, according to leading online competitive intelligence service Hitwise 87.3% of the searches in the UK and 68.29% of the searches in the USA in May 2008 were done with Google.
 The Google 'Pay Per Click' (PPC) advertising system, called 'Google Adwords', ensures that an advertiser's brand, product and/or service is placed next to the organic search engine results based on matching key words and phrases, prioritised according to relevancy and the amount the advertiser is willing to pay.
Google Adwords therefore provides a relatively simple, highly accessible and cost effective way to put your business or organisation in front of people at the same time as they are actively looking for similar products or services to those you supply.
In addition Google have developed various applications of interest to any agency, firm, company, institution or organisation wishing to use the Internet effectively to reach and engage customers, clients, candidates and/or suppliers. These applications can also be used to enhance a brand's products, services and operations.

WHY GOOGLE ADVERTISING?
Google began life in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page, a Ph.D. student at Stanford University (USA) and in under 10 years became established as the most popular Internet search engine in the world and a global brand name.
As reported by Wikipedia, in July 2006, the verb "to google" was officially added to both the Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary, meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet."
More recently, Hitwise reported in May 2008 that Google remains the most popular search engine by far in the USA and UK:
- Of the searches in the USA in May 2008 68.29% were done with Google,19.95% with Yahoo, 5.89% with MSN and 4.23% with Ask.
- Google is even more dominant in the UK with Google search properties(Google.co.uk and Google.com) accounting for 87% of all UK searches in May 2008, representing a 12% increase compared to May 2007. Yahoo! search properties accounted for 4.09% of UK searches in May 2008, a 2% increase compared to April 2008. MSN search properties accounted for 3.72% and Ask search properties accounted for 3.07% of searches. (MSN increased two percent compared to April 2008 and Ask increased 6 percent.)
The reasons for Google's popularity include:
- Google returns relevant results fast
- Google searches more than 10 billion URLs (domain names)
- Google sells advertising separately
- Google is simple to use
- Google gives an excerpt of text
- Google gives additional information and associated links with results
- Google stores a cached version of the webpage, showing a page even when it's gone or its link is inaccessible
- Google continually improves its search results
In addition Google continues to invest heavily in new developments and applications which extend it's popularity and dominance, such as Blogger, YouTube, Google Analytics, Google Alert, Google Maps, Googlemail, Google News, GoogleTrends etc.
Every marketing professional and senior manager should be knowledgeable about Google and have the basic skills required to use Google Adwords and other Google applications - if you attend this intensive 3 hour Google Advertising & Marketing Training Workshop you will!

WHY ATTEND THE GOOGLE WORKSHOP (ADWORDS) ADVERTISING & MARKETING MASTERCLASS?
During this intensive 3 hour Google Advertising & Marketing Masterclass Workshop we will explain through the training seminar how you can use Google Adwords 'Pay Per Click' (PPC) advertising and Google applications to beat your competition online.
Many search engines and websites offer Pay Per Click advertising opportunities which, as the name suggests, means paying one or more search engines to promote your website to their users through advertisements also known as 'sponsored listings'.
PPC advertising can normally be initiated relatively quickly and with little or no initial outlay. In the case of search engines like Google Adwords pricing reflects the popularity of the advert and the key words and key phrases associated with it, with the particular advertising platform (such as a search engine or website) charging for each click on your advert which takes the user through to your website.
 Pay Per Click is therefore controllable - you determine your hourly, daily or monthly budget and you don't have to worry about exceeding it. Results can be instantly tracked, you can see how much it is costing you for each prospective customer who clicks through to your advert and you can pause or cancel the campaign at any stage.
PPC advertising also gives you an insight into what is working on your website, how popular and relevant your key words and key terms are etc and, through integration with analytics etc, you can assess the success of your website, page by page and visitor by visitor - where they come from, what they clicked on etc.
Google is committed to becoming the dominant supplier of PPC advertising not only in search but also across websites, emails and other digital channels through the Google Adwords platform which provides an easy 'one stop shop' for advertising your brand, product or service and the case for advertising with Google is hugely compelling.
Google Adwords works for the same reasons the Google search engine remains so popular - it delivers results by placing your business or organisation in front of people who are actively searching for key words and phrases related to your offer.
Google Adwords not only delivers results, it is relatively straightforward to use and can be set-up quickly and easily by you "in house" in a matter of minutes online. Naturally, it becomes more complicated as you develop more evolved advertising campaigns and seek to promote more products and services, and as you start to use functionality such as Google Analytics to track results and assess your return on investment.
We aim to explain Google advertising and applications in terms you understand, in a language you know and a context that is relevant to your role and organisation.
By the end of the Google Advertising & Marketing Masterclass training workshop:
- You will understand the range of advertising and development opportunities available to you through Google and have sufficient knowhow to plan and implement an advertising and marketing plan for your business or organisation using Google Adwords and related applications.
- You will feel confident to start using the Google Adwords system, from setting up your account to designing your advert to managing your campaign(s) on line to converting interest into sales (whatever form they may take for your sector/activity), or if you are already using Google Adwords in a basic way you will be able to take your advertising to the next level.
- You will be able to plan, implement, manage, review and assess an advertising campaign online using Google Adwords and to position Google advertising as a key part of your marketing strategy, whether doing so "in-house" or with an advertising agency you engage externally.
Information will be clearly presented in a non-technical way in a context relevant to those attending, using case studies and examples.
