Google Wednesday announced three new features to its Google Advertising Professionals Program. Google Advertising Professionals in the United States will now receive Google Adwords credits to provide
to their new advertising clients. Google advertising professionals will receive three initial $50 credits while qualified Google advertising professionals will receive five initial $100 credits. The
credits can be applied directly into a client's account through the My Client Center interface. Secondly, third parties who've committed to training their staff to manage Adwords for clients can now
qualify for "qualified company" status, intended to be another way for Google advertising professionals to istinguish themselves from rivals. And, thirdly, all qualified professionals will receive
a unique URL, hosted by Google, as their own professional status page, to help potential clients verify the qualifications of qualified professionals.
