Google Adwords


Google Adwords represents a giant leap forward for the local Internet marketer. With Adwords, a small business can attract regional traffic to its website, and convert these visitors into customers.

In addition, Google Adwords offers a simple method for testing copy and offers. Their reporting is very simple to follow, and the program continues to gain momentum.
