It just occured to me....we have a site in Google, in the free listings. Been there for years. We also send it traffic via AdWords and have been doing so for years. This wouldn't somehow be seen as a no-no, would it? There isn't some rule that says a site in the free listings can't also be targeted by AdWords, is there? Please tell me I am being paranoid?

You have nothing to worry about, ember. Except maybe for inferno's diagnosis of paranoia!

If you happen to spot an all-white van with a tiny half inch tall AdWords logo on the side, parked outside your office, be sure to post again. ;)

Agreed.

And I also have to say that I'm always very appreciative when an advertiser takes the time to ask if something is OK or not.

So thanks for that! ;)

Hi,

So AWA, these black helicopters with the small Google logo and the BIG WiFi antennae hovering outside my house...

I can just ignore them, right? Or are they after my conversion data to move my CPC prices up from 2p to 3p?
