My “Qualified Google Advertising Professional“ status came up for renewal this month (it comes up every 2 years) .  This designation is given to professionals who can pass an extensive test of Google Adwords knowledge.

I was able to pass and become recertified.  You can see my Professional Status page at Google.

This advertising venue has been a great source of targeted traffic for many of my SEM (Search Engine Marketing) clients.   If you’re wondering if it can be effective for you, give me a call and I can give you my first impression.  One of the great things about the venue is a low-risk factor– you are not obligated to any particular budget or length of term.  Sometimes I can find a way for you to get a free trial.

My time flies.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. 

This month, we launched one new web site:

• Sentinel Technology Solutions needed a fresh new business identity as well as a flexible and easy to self-maintain site.  They have a database-backend, blog-enabled web site with some additional dynamic features.

This month we launched three new client sites:

• Kitchen Mart wanted a new user-friendly interactive site that would be easy to continue to expand to become an authority site on remodeling.
• Clear Vision Coaching is an existing client who wanted a website redesign to infuse new energy into her business after almost four years.
• Sacramento Occupational Medical Group wanted to upgrade from an existing generic template site to a site more in tune with their branding.  They also chose a Wordpress backend for easy maintenance for regular news updates.

September went by very quickly.  YNot Web launched one new site:

• David Foster Sculpture is a site promoting the sculpture of Tahoe area artist David Foster.

We also launched an updated version of a site that we created a couple of years ago for the Cordova Recreation and Park District.  Here we added more infrastucture and supporting graphics as well as updating their Content Management System with recent version improvements.
