    I´m brand new on adwords, but I´ll need to make campaigns soon to launch a new internet business in Spain.

    I suppose I´ll be unable to afford local consultants here so I´m aware I´ll have to learn a lot on my own, as this will be a key publicity tool in my new business.
    Hopefully, our business income will soon be able to pay professional consultancy…but our beginning will flicker a bit.

    Your blog (found through Linkedin) is a stimulating and soothing start to my endeavour….
    Thank you Adrian ! …Can I have your e-mail address ?
    Kind regards
    Carlos

      Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment Carlos. Good luck with your AdWords. If you are going to do it yourself, at least invest in a good book. Just go to Amazon and search for ‘adwords’. Perry Marshall is a good starting point. If not, then make use of Google’s own AdWords Learning Centre.
