Mixed Martial Arts in Google's Jet Stream: Thursday

Mel,

Mike Rhodes is an AdWords master of Mixed Martial Arts, a veritable cage-match player. On Thursday I'm doing a webinar with Mike on how to Jet Stream on Google's Display Network. 

Google's "Jet Stream" is where your ads go viral on the Display Network, generating millions of impressions and thousands of clicks - inexpensively.

In a niche, you can experience a mini-Jet Stream where everyone in your space discovers who you are. (It's surprisingly powerful branding, in fact - a daily deluge of clicks).

In a mass market, it's a tidal wave. I have many customers who generate 1,000+ leads per day by Jet Streaming, every day, month in, month out.

How do you do it? You find that sweet spot, then amplify.

This is going to be special. 5pm Eastern February 21. Register here:

Here are 5 ways to get the ball rolling.

Are you adhering to Facebook's 20% text rule on images?
It's funny the rules and regulations that media companies don't take seriously, especially when it comes to social media platforms.

Take a look at Facebook's 20% text rule on images and be aware of where your publication stands. Here are the basics.
