So I just went and signed up for Google Ad Words! 

It's my first ever attempt at advertising for what I've been doing for the past 10 years (not counting business cards and flyers).

I don't expect it to bring me a ton of clients but I do expect it to make a difference in the traffic to my site.  And with my account at Google Analytics, I will know for sure what kind of difference it makes.

As a long time web site guy and internet fan, I never imagined there would be a day when there were so many FREE online tools available to any one who wants them.  Google has really truly turned the internet on it's head.  It took the power that was previously exclusive only to companies with large budgets and crazy programmers and given it to the public.

And it's not a "lite" version of the products either...it's all inclusive...traffic facts, history, page hits, time visited, key words...it's all there for you to view.  Very impressive.

So, I am now offering these helpful tools to my clients, free of charge also.  It makes my value and their trust both grow simultaneously.  

What more could I ask for?  Well...don't get me started.  I'm happy.  And that's always a good place to be.
