Dreamforce Essentials Kit for Search Marketers
Sean Whiteley Oct 25, 2007Yesterday we had a great turnout for our Salesforce/Google joint webinar, Secrets of Search Marketing Success. We'll be posting the presentation and slides shortly. Thanks to everyone for attending. One of the central themes of the webinar was how to use 1) Google AdWords to drive traffic to your website, 2) How to leverage your website to convert website visitors to leads, and 3) How to use Salesforce for Google AdWords to turn those leads into new customers.
We referenced a few Dreamforce presentations/videos during the webinar, so we thought we'd put together the Dreamforce Essentials Kit for Search Marketers. This kit consists of presentations and videos from the Dreamforce '07 conference that may be of interest to those of you who attended the Secrets of Search Marketing Success webinar.

Search Campaign Success with Google AdWords
Kraig Swensrud Sep 24, 2007The Salesforce for Google AdWords hands-on lab was one of the most impacted sessions of Dreamforce 2007. Unlike many of the track sessions which will be posted to YouTube and/or Google Video this week, a hands-on lab doesn't lend itself well to an exciting video replay. However, many folks have asked for a copy of the slides that were used during the hands-on lab, which you can now download here:

Special thanks to Sean Whiteley for leading the session, and to the amazing team of Google AdWords gurus that delivered killer content: Ty Heath, Kristina Cutura, and Justin Vinluan (pictured above from right to left)

Google AdWords Learning Center
Kraig Swensrud Jan 15, 2007One thing that's true about Google AdWords and world of search marketing, it never stops changing. Google is either adding new features to the AdWords UI, or changes are being made to the way ads are scored, ranked and served. Lately, we seem to be forwarding one URL in particular as more of our own employees get up to speed on the inner workings of Google AdWords:
Bookmark this URL, or just remember it.
http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/The Google AdWords Learning Center:
This is the number one resource we recommend for marketers and business owners who are working with Google AdWords. It covers everything from the basics (getting started), to more advanced topics (ad ranking and the AdWords quality score). With lessons in multimedia or text, it's simple to understand and easy to digest. Forward the URL along to others or comment here with your favorite AdWords educational resources.Think that Salesforce should invest in a similar learning center as part of the successforce.com website?

The Era of Trackable Media
Kraig Swensrud Nov 14, 2006Imagine this scenario: Manufacturing wants to build a new facility that’s designed to increase capacity and decrease defects. In order to execute the project, they need $10M from management. Management (of course) asks manufacturing for an ROI model for the project.
Manufacturing’s response: We don’t have an ROI model, but we can promise you’ll like the way it’ll look.
Hard to believe? Well, it happens just about every day across corporate America, but not in manufacturing. It happens in marketing. Every day, marketers spend millions on advertising investments with uncertain (and worse, largely unmeasured) return.
They don’t do this by choice. They do it because advertising was forced by circumstance to develop the now time honored habit of investing serious dollars in untrackable media. Print ads with no response component. Big TV spend. David Ogilvy popularized John Wanamaker’s astute observation that “half of all advertising dollars are wasted. The trick is figuring out which half.”
Mr. Wanamaker, Mr. Ogilvy, meet Google AdWords and Salesforce. Now you can know. And not only can you know what worked, you can know which investments drove the highest response rates and which others drove the highest quality return. You can tune your advertising investments to your business needs.
Ad spend is shifting from Madison Avenue to Amphitheatre Parkway. Little lines of text might not be as funny as riding a chicken at a rodeo, but it works.
The era of trackable media is here...
Major ad budgets are shifting online, and Google's acquisition of YouTube starts to make sense. -
