This is how I characterized my feelings of Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and MSN adCenter to my coworker:

  • Google is successful because it is highly functional and makes everything easy to work with. I can easily make bulk up
  • Yahoo! is marginal because while it is highly functional, it is much more complicated to do a mass upload.
  • MSN is at the bottom of the barrel because I can’t even do a mass upload on my own. I need to contact my MSN rep for a mass upload, and if that person is out of town, I pretty much need to do the upload manually.

I think this speaks not only to the ease of doing a mass upload, but to why these companies perform as they do on a broader level. Something as small as a mass upload is representative of the other issues that seem to come up.

When I started at Rise Interactive, one of the goals that I wanted to accomplish was to become Google AdWords and Yahoo! Ambassador qualified. I am happy to say that I took both tests this week, and I am now qualified in both Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing.
This was one of those goals that I really didn’t know how long it was going to take me to achieve, two weeks, two months, six months. But I’ve been at Rise for just about a month and I’m really excited to have these certifications under my belt.
