Google Product Integration Fail

Competitive Product Ad Placement

I know most of these are keyword driven but I always love it when an ad for a product shows up on an article for a competitors product.

Achieve Abillity

Written on January 17, 2010 at 10:22 am, by Brian Schwartz

Achieve Ability is Coach Kerry Lyman‘s website. Kerry is a wonderful woman who was a former PR professional who moved into coaching as a way to help young adults navigate career planning and personal goal setting.

If you know a young professional who needs guidance or could use help planning their career, I suggest they contact Kerry.

I built this site as a freelance project using WordPress and customizing an off the shelf theme, which consisted of changing the color scheme, choosing photos, selecting the font, adding the content and training Kerry on how to use WordPress.
