		<description>These are great tools indeed!  I particularly like Website Optimiser which allows you to test the effectiveness of changes to your landing pages.

I used to be a big user of Adwords, but it has become progressively more expensive with some large organisations spending a Million or more a year on Adwords campaigns, so it&#039;s not as cost-effective a source of targetted traffic as it used to be.  

However, the tools within Adwords give you enormous control over your advertising campaigns.

I find Google to be a two edged sword:  some of its tools are very powerful, but I don&#039;t like the level of control G now holds over people doing business online and I consciously try to find ways of reducing my reliance on it..

Cheers,
