Google Certification

[Poultrygeist]

I have just written my Google certification (fundamentals) and I'll be doing the advanced search test next week.

The fundamentals was pretty easy but I got no idea what to expect in the advanced. Any body done it? Any advice or tips?

There's a Google Cert? What does it qualify you for?

EDIT:
Which certification? Adwords, or Developer?

 

[Poultrygeist]

There's actually 2 - certified individual and certified company. For a company to get certified they must employ at least 2 certified individuals have admistered a spend of at least $10 000 over 90 days.

It's all Adwords stuff so easy to learn - to get good at getting to the top of the organic rankings is a lot more difficult!

So where does one learn this? I'd be interested in doing so.

For adwords go here -->http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwords/professionals/individual.html
For organic rankings, sacrifice a goat to your diety of choice for starters... it's a dark art (but very lucrative if you can do it)

Awesome, I'll prepare the goat immediately.

Which advanced exam are you going to do? Search, Display or Reporting?

 

[Poultrygeist]

I only need to do one but I'm gonna do them all - in that order... search, then display, then reporting and analytics. I've been doing all this stuff for years so there shouldn't be too much of a learning curve to passing the exams. I recon I just gotta learn how to say things the way Google wants to hear them in order to sound more correct if you know what I mean. (I hope)
