One thing I'll tell you.. never ask for the Google support teams help: all they tell you to do is bid more. It's almost as if they're on commission. Google PPC is slowly becoming more and more expensive - and Google are slowly putting more and more adverts on the site.
Are there any open source solutions that allow me to do this for my city? Simple execution, mobile ready - add locations and reviews along with 'find places nearby' ?
This has got to be a case of them being completely out of touch with the average user.
I've been using web browsers for over 10 years and assumed a browser wouldn't make it this easy to find passwords.
After reading this I quickly checked and saw over 50 accounts listed all with the passwords in plain text next to them.
I guarantee each and every one of my friends that don't work in IT don't know about this - I could ask them all if I could quickly borrow there laptop to check a soccer score and find out the majority of there passwords.
What needs to be done is make people more aware of what's happening when they save a password - and perhaps a quick pop up in the bottom right coming up notifying them which passwords are saved and if they want to clear them before lending out, or leaving it unattended.
This is almost as if the question was placed in by Derek so he could plug that Ted talk! Saw that video a long time ago and ever since then I've kept my mouth shut. I've learnt a lot from you (another.. ideas are just a multiplier of execution :) )
I spent $100,000 last year on Google AdWords - it made me some decent money. The costs kept getting higher and higher - I called one of there advertising rep's to give me advice - it cost me around $600 losses in 1 day. Called back, made changes - told them I don't want to take 'risks' like that again. I then tried this 'Enhanced Campaign' feature that I think they're bringing in across all accounts in June - it put me in the negative and I'm now no longer advertising with them.
This part hit the nail on the head:
"(suggesting ridiculously high default bids, goading you to bid more to get on page 1, not showing your ad at all if you bid too low – even if no other ads appear etc)."
Every time I'd call they'd say up your 'Cost Per Click'. Every single time.
It's not an employee's 'opinion' based on an emotional decision on whether they can share something with an individual that has cost millions (billions?) to produce.
