First Look - Google Print Ads Now Part of AdWords
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007;
-- Andy Beal |
We’ve looked around and we’re pretty confident that Marketing Pilgrim has the first screenshots of Google Print integrated with AdWords.
Using the AdWords console, advertisers can select the following:
- Date range for ads to run.
- How much you wish to spend each week (no daily pricing options).
- Select from hundreds of different newspapers and view their schedule and circulation.
So, without further ado, here’s the first glimpse of Google Print…

Ops! Looks like I jumped the gun again and got a little too excited. Doesnt look to be live on their website yet. Any ideas when this is expected to go live?

They started rolling out last week. Not sure when everyone will see it.

I’m sending this onto Greg right away.

Hey I thought I was the first look guy. Andy, are you trying to take my job today?
I wonder how long before I can buy road side billboards in the adwords admin….

@Jeremy - I actually thought about sending the images to you, seeing as that’s your niche.

I saw this in our account last week - looked briefly - there is a decent selection of papers but no idea what the ads look like or where they will show
May 9th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Yup, Jeremy, you covered this a while back.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:41 am
Good stuff Jeremy! So, Barry, why didn’t you give Jeremy some SEL love for his story?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:43 am
very interesting stuff, this is the first i’ve heard of this. phil

I did, see bottom of may 4th searchcap…

Hey Andy,
Danny mentioned it in the searchcap under “other stuff”.
http://searchengineland.com/070504-140825.php
I actually love the searchcap section - I’ve added at least 10 news sites to my rss over the past few weeks that I found via searchcap. It’s good stuff.

Looks like PPC discussion had some screenshots a few days ago and they have a fwe extra as well. http://www.ppcdiscussions.com/2007/05/google-print-newspaper-setup-scr eens.html

[...] Google a bagat in Adwords optiunea de a face reclama in ziare dar as fi fost curios cat costa reclama in ziarele respective. Se poate seta doar optiunea de cat se vrea sa se cheltuie pe saptamana si nu se zice exact cat costa si unde e pozitionata reclama in ziare. [...]

Hi Andy,
Do you know if the Print Ad’s also have the ability to lock in Magazine ads as well? I have seen some Google Ads in Magazines..
Thanks,
Tom

…er…um…or on second thought, maybe I’ll just call the papers I want to advertise in myself, let one of their helpful ad reps set up my ad for free…AND pay less for the ad than I would have had to…than if I’d had to compete against others trying to run ads in the same paper/s…
Newspapers, magazines, and other print “ad vehicles” are not like “only the first 1-3 search result pages (SERPs) are read by most”; they have virtually unlimited room/space to run ads.
There’s no reason for anyone to pay Google to be their expensive and unnecessary middleman when using the print marketplace…
…something even Homer Simpson could appreciate.
Doh!

I cannot imagine how you make profit out of it as Affiliate Marketer. Promoting your own business yes but having there affiliate links?
What is some example of Print Ads?

[...] A Google non basta il web gestirà anche la pubblicità stampa Senza clamore Google ha iniziato a offrire ai propri inserzionisti la possibilità di acquistare spazi pubblicitari su testate "off line" tramite il suo servizio Google AdWords (fonte: MarketingPilgrim). Si sapeva delle intenzioni del nostro amato motore di ricerca (e molto di più) ma adesso sembra sia arrivato il momento e con un meccanismo simile a quello usato per pianificare le campagne per il web gli investitori interessati potranno far apparire i propri annunci su quotidiani statunitensi.

So if you pay for $100 on the new york times for instance does it only give you x amount of impressions? That’s how I understand it. Seems interesting.
