I’m excited to announce that my company Marketing By Web (based in Bristol but with clients worldwide)  has achieved Google AdWords Partner Status.  This means we have on board a fully qualifed AdWords Search Advertising Professional (myself!) who has passed both Google exams at basic AND advanced status. It is a requirement that all Google AdWords Professionals pass the new exam by October 2010.  I am expecting a lot of AdWords companies to struggle with the difficult Advanced exam, as well as an influx of AdWords training enquiries from other PPC agencies requesting I help them achieve Partner Status.
