			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has quietly introduced a neat feature to its Google Adwords advertising platform specifically for users of mobile phones with a full HTML browser (such as the iPhone, Android-powered devices or those running Palm OS).</p>
<p>The advertiser can now add a clickable telephone number as an additional line of their ad, which is only displayed to mobile users.</p>
<p>Viewers can then simply click the phone number to call and connect directly with the business. It’s a quick and convenient way for a potential customer to reach you while they&#8217;re on the move.</p>
<p>Recently this service has been extended in the UK to cover both geographic phone numbers and 0800, 0843, 0844, 0845 and 0870 numbers.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">To learn more about using  Google Adwords and Click-to-Call to market to mobile users, call Andy at WSI today on 01928 787026.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every website owner has the continual challenges of not only bringing new visitors to their site, but attracting them back again!</p>
<p>Now Google is launching a new feature within Google Adwords called <strong><a title="AdWord remarketing" href="http://adwords.blogspot.com/2010/03/now-available-reach-right-audience.html" target="_blank">Remarketing</a></strong> which will enable you to advertise only to those people who have already visited your site, or your YouTube channel!</p>
<p>For example, if you’re a search advertiser, you can use remarketing to create an integrated campaign strategy. After driving traffic to your site with search ads, you can then <strong>remarket </strong>to those users who visited your site by showing them tailored ads on sites throughout the Google Content Network.</p>
<p>The <strong>remarketing </strong>ads can reinforce key messages or highlight special offers that will then draw those visitors back to your site as they continue to surf the internet.</p>
<p>To learn more about the power of remarketing and how it can help your business, <a title="Contact WSI Chester Adwords Professionals" href="http://greatnortherndesign.com/contact-us/">contact WSI today 0n 01928 787026</a>.

<p>Well the simple answer is &#8220;No&#8221;, it is a lot more sophisticated than that&#8230;.</p>
<p>The Google Chief Economist &#8211; Hal Varian, has created an excellent short video which explains how the &#8216;Google Ad auction&#8217; works, and why effective campaign management can lower the price you pay for clicks.</p>
