I have always wanted to try out the Google Advertising Professional Exam. Today, out of the blue, I paid USD$50 and sit for the exam. There was 111 questions, which were required to answer within one and a half hour. I completed the exam within 50 minutes, and review my answers for another 30 minutes. I ended the test with 10+ minutes to spare. So?
I passed! Scoring 87.4% out of 100%!
Honestly the exam was just a test for some common sense of PPC and the understanding of Adwords Policy. Now I need to have a spending of USD$1000 within 3 months and I will have the fancy logo of “Adwords Qualified Individual” displayed on my site. Currently I have 3 campaigns running at MSN adCenter, and another 2 running at Adwords.
For those who are looking forward to take the exam, it’s really easy, but I will be sharing some tips on my next post.

You look advanced in using PPC campaign. You work for your client. Or, just work for your own project?
You make me wondering how much you earn per month… LOL…

Hi Siong,
I’m still learning, and in the ‘trial and failure’ stage of PPC strategy. I’m running all the campaigns for my own.

hell, being “natural” and “organic” for all these time made me miss all these stuff.

Oh nonono, I’m not where near ‘mastah’ yet :D
I am all ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ too, and now still on the learning + testing + experimental stage of PPC.
