I married her about 4 years ago.
At first, she made it really hard for me to understand her. Basically, she was taking my money and giving me nothing in return. It was her way of telling me I had to pay my dues to gain her loyalty to what I so desperately wanted from her.
Then one day, it happened. She started being kind to me and that’s when I feel in love.
We started having some insanely wonderful days together. She was giving me all I wanted and more. As a matter of fact, she had so much to give that I couldn’t keep up with all she had to offer.
So I decided to marry her and engulf myself in everything she was about. I wanted to know everything there was to know about her because our relationship was producing some outstanding results.
And for nearly two years, we had a great marriage. I made her happy and she made me happy. She made me very, very happy. I remember days waking up to check with her and I would be blown away at how lucky I was to have her in my life.
Then one dreaded day in December 2009, she pushed me out. With no explanation, no warning, no nothing. She wanted me gone and I was devastated.
Since things had been going so great, I had to figure out a way to fix things. Eventually I would figure out a way to get back in her good graces, only to be pushed out again. That happened several times before I said enough is enough.
So I started seeing others and I quickly found out that there were plenty of them who wanted to give me what I needed. And they didn’t make it nearly has hard as she did.
We still talk from time to time though. But things are different now because I realized that I didn’t need her as much as I thought I did.
So after many months going back and forth with her and trying to play her games so I could still get what I needed from her, I have decided to move on with my life.
I will still communicate with her on a regular basis because we are tied to each other through other relationships, but no longer will I try so hard to be in her life.
For all the reasons stated above, I’m no longer going to use Google’s name in reference to my expertise. I’m so much more than a Google Adwords expert thanks to her.
Because she pushed me out and forced me to look for alternatives, it made me learn so much more and allowed me to become the man I am today.
So thanks Google for pushing me in the direction I’m going today.
UPDATE: Google Buzz proves my prediction!

If you have been following me for a considerable amount of time, I am sure you have heard me mention Twitter Search being the next generation search engine.
I have been using it for quite some time to do keyword research as documented in a previous post detailing how I use Twitter Search To Uncover Unlikely Keywords.
I also discuss in another video how Twitter affects your Google PageRank and what this means for you.
This new finding is particularly important to me because the big “G” seems to be putting a lot of stock into Twitter even though they don’t own them… YET.
Watch the video below to see what is happening now, and don’t forget to leave comments below.
In this video I talk about the Google Conversion Optimizer tool and how it works.
If you really want to optimize your ppc campaigns with Google Adwords, then you should learn how to use this tool.
It works great for me on my Adwords content network campaigns. If you advertise on the content network, you can use this tool to increase your number of conversions and lower your cost per click. You can basically tell Google how much you are willing to pay per conversion or sale, and their system will try to get you the most clicks possible to increase the chances of you getting conversions.

In this video, I discuss Google PageRank and how it relates to social media.
If you are using Twitter, or any other social media website, more than likely your profile has a Google PageRank.
Why is this important?
There are many reasons why this important, but the main aspect I believe to be most important is for branding purposes. Building a brand takes a considerable amount of time and resources, so you should make sure you are capitalizing on your hard work before someone else uses it to their advantage.

P.S. Leave me some comments and tell me what you think!
In this video, I discuss the importance of separating search and content network campaigns for online marketers who use Google’s advertising platform Adwords.
Many people think the content network is useless because they have lost money using it in the past. However, the content network should be treated totally different from the search network.
I have had the majority of my success using the content network because I have invested the time necessary to understand the difference between the search network and the content network.
Google treats them differently for a number of reasons. Check out the video for more.
