He has also spent a lot of time as the &#8220;in house&#8221; AdWords consultant for the world&#8217;s largest home business marketing training site.  And believe it or not, while he WAS &#8220;banned&#8221; once, he&#8217;s one of the few ever to get back on Google afterwards without missing a beat (ask the goo-roos how many of them have done that).<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the secret of his PPC awesomeness?<\/p>\n<p><strong>He understands artificial intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Or &#8220;AI&#8221; as he calls it.<\/p>\n<p>AI is how software and computer programs (like Google AdWords, for example) think, behave and respond to input and human interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, so I asked Jim about the recent Google fart.<\/p>\n<p>I asked him&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Jim, I&#8217;m no PPC goo-roo, but it seems to me if people would simply build an email list and then email it offers, this new Google spank would be a non-issue.
