		<description>I was just searching around for some good books on commercial production and i came accross this article. I have been a DJ f or about 15 years and i am hanging up the turntables. I have been meaning to start recording for years. From years on the radio i am starting a voice over business. I have my own studio and invite you to check out my temp. website. If you need a voice for your online commercials i have a pretty good library of them in my head. Check it out and i look forward to hearing from anyone who needs a voice.</description>

GAAA!
Adwords announced AudioAds a few days ago, this is my take on the whole idea not the service..

So the whole idea is advertise websites on radio, so there are no links, there is no content, there is no indexation, all it is a person on radio ment...</description>

		<description>We have started using Audio Ads for about a week now.  We did the creative stuff ourselves, since we have experience doing this in-house.  While radio may seem backwards to some, it allows us to talk to a potential customer in a passive environment.  We sell a broad market item to folks that just as easily could buy it from their local supplier, but may have never considered using the internet to buy it.  Our message is (no surprise here) how our experience is better than bricks and mortar.

As to the results, they will never be as concrete as Google Analytics, but so far so good.  Our two test markets are performing above average.</description>

To Karen, I&#039;m in Canada and currently have the &quot;Audio Ads&quot; tab in my Google Adwords account.  Hopefully it will be rolling out for everyone soon.</description>

		<description>Why is Google going for terrestrial radio when companies who own terrestrial radio know that the action is online and they are in fact buying online properties! (CBS:LastFM)

It seems like a backward step  to me - if they had streaming audio ads for  web radio that would be cool. As an advertiser I don&#039;t think I&#039;d want to advertise a web property on terrestrial radio</description>

		<description>Michael,

I have a UK based AdWords account and do not have the option for audio ad&#039;s. I&#039;m going to assume its becuase Google do not have any deals with any staions over here YET. Can&#039;t wait til they do though! :-)

		<description>Mike, nice meeting you here in Toronto.

Am I the only one here that wouldn&#039;t allocate marketing $$ to radio?  Google allows me to precision target my audience, so why backtrack and advertise on the radio?

Google has sold everyone the Kool-Aid, how do they expect us to go back to lemonade?  My call is that Google will wind this down in about 24 months.

Best,
