Google Aims to Help Madrid Tourist Sector

As someone who spends most days working with clients to find the best ways to

In my day job I spend most of the time helping clients gain better rankings on Google and creating Google AdWord campaigns to drive traffic to their website. I sometimes do exhibitions (I'll be at the Lead On 2007 event next month) and often present. Therefore, it's no surprise that the Madrid TravelThink event, which has Google heavy participation, caught my eye.

Madrid TravelThink is an opportunity for those in the travel industry to learn from Google experts, and others in the industry, what the latest tips and trends to gain new clients are. The event takes place at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos de Madrid on the 15th October, 2007.

I hope that one of the organisers, Es Madrid, sends all of its marekting people as they could learn a lot about optimsiation and how to create Google AdWords from the people from Google!
