'Dear Inside AdWords...' - where to ask questions and feeling lucky

The Inside AdWords inbox has been getting a steady stream of emails, and this week, we answer a couple more.

Is the Inside AdWords email the proper channel for sending inquiries? –Nick A.

Nick, I’m glad you asked. Ever since we started Inside AdWords, we’ve received all sorts of different inquiries and requests in our email inbox—some AdWords related, some not. Basically, the rule of thumb is: email us at Inside AdWords if you have comments or feedback about the blog, or if you have general AdWords questions that we may be able to answer for the benefit of all Inside AdWords readers. For questions that relate specifically to your account, it's best to send them to the AdWords Support Team; they’re able to review your actual account details and give you the specific advice that you need.

What is the difference between Google Search & “I'm Feeling Lucky”? How does “I’m Feeling Lucky” affect how my ads are displayed? –Mark S.

Dear Mark: The “I’m Feeling Lucky” button on the Google homepage takes you directly to the most relevant website that Google found for your query. You won't see the search results page at all, but if you did, the "I'm Feeling Lucky" site would be listed on top. For example, if you're looking for the AdWords homepage, just type in “AdWords” and click "I'm Feeling Lucky" instead of the Google Search button. Google will take you directly to adwords.google.com. Since no search results are shown when the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button is pressed, no ads are displayed with this feature.

Do you have more AdWords questions? You know where to find us. Send them our way and we'll try our best to answer them in a future post.
