Three contest winners making their way to television

(Cross-posted from the <a href="http://google-tmads.blogspot.com/2009/10/three-contest-winners-making-their-way.html">Google TV Ads Blog</a>) Small businesses often think that television advertising is too expensive and cumbersome for them to use. They assume that they need a fancy, expensive commercial to use in their TV campaign. But <a href="http://google.com/tvads">Google TV Ads</a> changes all of that — we make it easy and affordable for you to make a TV ad, plan a campaign and reach your customers through the power of television. We launched the <a href="http://google-tmads.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-tv-ads-announces-tv-for-all.html">TV for All</a> contest two months ago to prove just that. More than 200 companies submitted commercials for the opportunity to win $25,000 worth of free national advertising on cable channels such as CNBC, Hallmark and Bloomberg using Google TV Ads. Today, we're happy to announce the three winners of the TV for All contest based on votes from the YouTube community. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2TC_ot2aFU">Amazing Gates</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bcgAFfTaZM">Owners.com</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKJxgMNt48o">ZAGG.com</a> received the largest number of votes among the 10 finalists. Each of these businesses will receive $25,000 in free national advertising through Google TV Ads advertising. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKJxgMNt48o"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398201225432639890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgerW8AsbDi_KGc1i7jlxnCqpZBygmnq5GDgTKUNS2mSAGw2-RqFFZAvhrFr4ni6zGWWKS8UqFcxbvnnPN_WDQBgdswKPMITIWvIRSaY6R3s8b6xJ7teAFOQE8GorzhvPbMowPEsMB4hHc/s200/tv3.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 182px;" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bcgAFfTaZM"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398201217906373522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYRpCJt_FfLXJQ5vpTqd_z6dOJ99QaqTdFPWHoekeHJAIMCHGWXjSRtIn_Y2RpL4GjGwCvp9ENeZF9GAdNiGJFCKGzYFeYo-WVd0EupUJCzHVL_ubICqM0_Mo4KEZNy3SfO20yb-Gm6A/s200/tv2.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 182px;" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2TC_ot2aFU"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398201217117755154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6bmb6gMA17-xEjA67EaQiWDFTNmUaOEmsex3SGQhr9SQcddUUfrEkfDSuen86VptX77KultyF7iMwMnSGsGCIp0slcwsjSgrUbCm7v1OvDBPXFalpUxJr9G14KmILQCdLBs43aUiIQ3k/s200/tv1.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 182px;" /></a> Check out the three winners and all entries at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/tvforallcontest">www.youtube.com/tvforallcontest</a>.

Exploring "las oportunidades" for small businesses

Posted by Carolina Shea, AdSense Account Strategist Last week, I flew from our Phoenix office to Washington, D.C. to deliver our first U.S. seminar for small business. It's a simple and straightforward presentation about how Google tools can help small businesses establish a presence online, work more collaboratively and efficiently, and earn money from their websites through our <a href="https://www.google.com/adsense/">AdSense</a> program. If you were able to catch a glimpse of our <a href="http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2008/04/creating-opportunities-for-small.html">testimony</a> in front of the U.S. House Small Business Committee a couple of weeks ago, you'll know that helping small businesses thrive on the Internet is something we're really passionate about. And we thought we should share the training first with one of the most entrepreneurial communities in the U.S.: Hispanic Americans. Working with the enthusiastic support of the <a href="http://www.ushcc.com/" id="fnkx" title="U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce"> U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce</a> and the <a href="http://www.lulac.org/" id="h8b9" title="League of United Latin American Citizens"> League of United Latin American Citizens</a>, I'm happy to say that this first session is in Spanish. We call it "Google 101 para pequeñas empresas." Check out the seminar in this video (in Spanish, with an introduction in English), or have a look at our small business resource page (<a href="http://www.google.com/growyourbusiness" id="bkrg" title="in English">in English</a>) and (<a href="http://www.google.com/sunegociocrece" id="z530" title="in Spanish">en Español</a>). <object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/e4DhXr_lLs0&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/e4DhXr_lLs0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object>
