Elan Perach’s Summary

I have over three years experience in online marketing with a focus on Google Adwords Pay Per click advertising. Over the years, I am continually amazed and astounded by the power of PPC advertising, due to its advanced and precise nature. Unlike traditional forms of marketing: TV, print and radio, that can not accurately calculate ROI, PPC is extremely accurate. It is a priority for me to keep up with the latest developments in the PPC industry, I read many blogs, participate in twitter and share information at blog.ppcproz.com

My PPC expertise includes:
• Fast and efficient work flow integration between Adwords Editor and Excel, A vital technique for creating and managing large scale accounts.
• In-depth keyword research and brainstorming to find all of the keywords relevant to the client.
• Structuring accounts according to Quality Score best practice.
