A few weeks ago, Google sent me a stack of Google AdWords coupons to hand out to my clients. I have a few left, so if you have been thinking about advertising online, hit me up.
Adwords is awesome because you can choose where your ads display. If you want your ads to only display within a 25 mile radius within your business, that option is available. Or you can choose to advertise per city, state or nationwide. PLUS you can also decide how much you want to spend. You can choose to spend $1.50/day or $10.00/day. Control is totally up to you.
The coupons will start you off with $105 bucks (extra $5 is for setup fee) and I will set up your account for free and get you started with your first campaign. If you have any questions, comments or if there are any other web related issues I can help you with, please let me know.

I was so pumped when I received an invite to Google’s Music Beta program. It’s so awesome.
To upload music, you have to download a music uploading program which takes the music from a specified folder and starts uploading the crap out of it. I started uploading Friday morning and at this time of posting, I’m still uploading. Now I’m rockin’ a Verizon DSL connection so I’m sure people with a faster connection will upload MUCH faster.
At the time of me posting this, I have currently uploaded 2,281 music files. Apparently Beta users are allotted 20,000 songs. I don’t own that many, so I won’t know for sure. I have played the music both at home and at work on my PCs (Windows Vista and Windows 7) using my Google Chrome Browser. I was even able to upload some music from work WHILE music was still uploading from my home PC. I was worried it would cause an issue, but it didn’t.
I am able to stream the music to my T-Mobile G2 within high speed networks. I have a 45 – 50 minute commute to work (from York, PA to Gettysburg, PA) and the network drops from HSPA network to Edge and even G in some spots and the music barely streams within those networks. I know this is not an issue on Google’s half, but an issue with my provider.
I’ve only encountered one bug and it’s on the mobile device. Sometimes a song will play and once it reaches the end, it will repeat even though the repeat function is off. Also the time duration for the song keeps going. So if a song is 3 minutes, it will repeat and the song time will go to 3:01 and keep going. I’m not the only one with this issue as another Android user posted it on Google’s Support Form.
At this point, Google Music Beta is free and I totally dig it. Once they ask for money will be a totally other issue. In the mean time, I’m rockin’ the fuck out!
