****Update****

I’ve been begging Adwords for a number to use and they are telling me that this is only available if you run an audio ad. *Sigh – I don’t DO RADIO, I work in the SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING INDUSTRY BECAUSE IT WORKS BETTER THAN RADIO.

I’ll keep squeaking and maybe I’ll get some grease, eventually.

Hi Mike,

That could very well be the case. I don’t run any audio ads so I’m not familiar. I’ll try digging a little deeper to see what I can find.

Any Adwords folks out there who can clarify?

I did find this in the audio ads details:

http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=65449

“To reserve a toll-free or vanity number to use in your radio campaign, search Google for toll-free or 800 number.”

Maybe they’re only offering it to certain accounts. Who knows…

Jeff — I am pretty sure that this is a call tracking feature for Google Audio ads (ie. Radio ads), not PPC ads. I have seen it before there. Plus, look at the wording: “promote this number in your Google ads”. Certainly they would be referring to audio ads, not using the number in text ads.

What do you think?
