Google Audio Ads Reviewed by Early Adopter

One of Google's first audio advertisers has written up a great in-depth review of the service on DigitalPoint Forums. A few takeaways:

  • There is no way to delete or remove campaigns, only stop or pause them. This creates a tad bit of confusion when looking at the collective budget because it includes ALL campaigns, even ones you stopped.
  • It still appears to be a beta product. Some of the navigation is still ambiguous.
  • Creating an ad is simple. You can upload an MP3 or have one done professionally.
  • Custom jingles, multiple voices, and sound effects can add to the cost.
  • Currently, there's no easy way to request quotes from companies that display offerings on multiple pages. This appears to be a bug.
  • Price range for most ads $300-400
  • You can choose demographics to tailor your ad to.
  • Caution: The cheapest audio ads will almost certainly play on AM stations.
  • The approval process for audio ads takes a few days.
  • So far: no conversions for this advertiser, but he may try again.

This is definitely a lot to digest, so if you want to read the whole review, navigate to DigitalPoint Forums.
