26 Google Tools to master if you are into online marketing

By Jon Ostler

Is it just me or does Google seem to add a new option or service for marketers every 5 minutes? Every time I’ve finished mastering the latest Google service or tool another one pops up or they change the one I’ve just mastered!

Whenever we get accredited as a Authorized Google Company for something we find something else we should get accredited for!

So if you thought it was all keywords and bids I’m sorry but you have a whole lot more learning to do.

Ok here is my current list of Google things to master if you are into online marketing.

* Adwords (ok that ones easy, remember position preference & day parting ;-)
* Adwords Conversion Optimiser (ok, that’s new!)
* Website Optimiser (we all love multi-variant testing)
* Campaign Optimiser (do they have to call everything ‘optimiser’?)
* Adwords Editor v4 (fantastic tool)
* Content Match (ok that’s easy too?)
* Content Match CPA (there you go they’ve changed it)
* Site Targeting (Easy? Ok they just added ad placement options)
* Google Video Ad
* Google Image Ad
* Google Gadget Ad (newest and coolest product)
* Google Mobile Ad
* Google Local Business Ad
* Report Centre (have you used “search queryâ€� and “placementâ€� performance options?)
* Google Analytics
* Google Base
* Google Webmaster Tools
* Custom Search Engines
* Universal Search
* Google Maps
* Goggle Reader
* iGoogle
* Google Checkout
* YouTube
