I am spending today looking and learning how to create Google Adwords video ads. I love the concept, however I am mystified by a few things.

I am using Adobe Premiere pro and consider myself as novice when it comes to using it. I've got a nice DV camera that shoots at TV quality.

I did some preliminary testing on outputting some simple videos and my file size was 500kb plus.

I searched around for other people who are blogging and talking about Adwords Video Ads - Keeping it under 50kb and couldn't find any/many people talking about this yet.

Simply put, how much information, graphics can you put into a video when you've got to keep it under 50kb? And then have audio to boot?

If anybody has experience with keeping your adwords video ads file size under 50KB... please do leave a comment.

CHECK OUT THE BENEFITS OF THESE POWERFUL WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
Website development tools are very important to your website. You either build them or buy them. The truth is, the more you build your site, the more money you're going to make.

I've built many tools for my website. I've spent the time learning PHP, mysql, CSS, HTML etc. There are just some things that I can't and won't build.

Some software is too complex to build, and too time consuming. It's more cost efficient to buy it than make it.

I've just purchased the resale rights for Website Equalizer products. I am currently using them myself and really love them. Importantly these tools save me tons of money and give me alot of publishing power that I couldn't possible develop by myself.

It's got three powerful Website Equalizer tools that you can use right away to put 3 of the most powerful aspects of website development to use right away.
1) Sales Page Developer
2) Multi-media video presentation
3) Fly-In Ad Generator.


1) Sales Page developer.
I've written alot of web pages in my time, but when I saw the structure of how this software builds sales pages, I was really impressed. I immediately started building headlines, sales copy and all of the other powerful sales copy that I need to sell products.

This software is template driven. All you have to do is write the copy for your product, and the Sales Page generator does the rest. It pops out a ready made, nicely formatted page that will get you sales results and make you money.

2) Multi-media video presentation
Let's face it... we're in the multi media generation. People love to watch videos and hear sales pitches. This software takes your recorded video and formats it into a presentation that you can use on your site.

This software is important because you can't use just any type of video editing software, unless you're a multimedia expert. This software formats your video so that it will download off the internet and not take "years" to do so.

It's easy to use, and it takes seconds to learn how to use it.

First thing you know... you'll be live on your website pitching your own products and services in person. How can you get any more credibility and control over your sales pitch than that?!!

3) Fly-In Ad Generator.
Sometimes your website content is not enough. It's important to help make your readers aware of your special new deals using the fly-in generator.

These fly-in ads get past pop-up blockers which means your ads will be read. This is pretty sweet new technology.

I like using fly-ins ads because they help me sell different offers at different times, and I don't have to change the main copy and lay out of my main pages.

Let's face it, you spend good time and money getting people to your site. You need to get the most value for your money with every visitor.

THESE TOOLS ARE POWERFUL
Buy these 3 Website Equalizer tools today and get the power of the internet at your fingertips. These tools will give you the advantage over your competitors who don't have these sophisticated tools.

YOU'LL USE THESE TOOLS FOR YEARS
Much unlike other website fad tools, these tools will last for years. you'll never stop building videos for your website, or using fly-in ads or building sales pages.. These tools are what the web was built on and will continue to be built on for years to come.

I've been using MIRC for a a few years now, but had only a limited scope.. I didn't realize that there was such a large amount of servers, networks etc.

I got onto EFnet which is huge, and started looking around. They've got chats for all types of subjects.

I looked for a topic on EFnet for one of the products I am selling. There were quite a few. I don't believe in spamming the chats, however, when I got into the chat room, there were quite a few people who were asking questions, that my product would solve.

Hmmm... relationship marketing!!

I also believe in getting to know people within good time. Not jump into a chat room and start spamming people. Getting to know people takes time, however builds credibility and trust.

The lights started to go on and I started to get a whole bunch of new ideas for marketing.

I thought I would pass that along. IRC... efnet and others are a great place to network with like minded people!

Bill Gates Retiring 2008 Microsoft Ceo

Blog Post Date: Jun 15 2006
Bill Gates if finally retiring! from Money.cnn.com

There's a guy who's done alot over the years, and has been highly praised and criticized for it.

I remember people who hated Bill Gates for having such a big monopoly and controlling power over operating systems and computers. They called his company microslop etc etc etc. (this was more towards the days of Windows 95.)

Back then I said that Microsoft, like all companies would have it's peak, and then start into the maturing process. Back then I said it would take another 10-15 years.

So now Bill gates is retiring in 2008. good for him. He's worked hard.

What's he going to do next? Start knitting, and join the local lawn bowling club. I can't see Bill Gates retiring any time soon. That would put him in an early grave.

It's good that he's giving everybody 2 years notice. That's a nice thing to do.

Well Bill Gates... hats off to you. I hope the next leg is as fun as the first.

I've parked my car for the summer, taken the plates insurance off the car, (so I won't be tempted to drive it).. I'm going to bicycle and walk to work for the summer.. until end of September.

What does getting in shape have to do with website marketing?
After sitting all winter I've put on a whole bunch of extra pounds and I need to get that off.

So far, in the last three days, my energy level has increased quite a bit, although my bones are aching like crazy.

Website marketing requires a sharp mind at all times.. Sitting behing the desk 12 hours a day, will dull the mind after a while with out any exercise to offset it.

It's a little extreme to park the car and take the bicycle, however, that's about the only way I'm going to get off my butt and start exercising.!
