It's really great working at Google because you get to
impact so many people.
As an associate product marketing manager at Google, I
work on a product called Google AdSense.
When I first started at Google, I went to a conference
here called Search Engine Strategies.
And I'd only been at Google for maybe about two weeks, and
I really actually didn't know too much about AdSense.
But what I was there doing was I was taking video
testimonials from some of our publishers who were there.
And what I was doing was trying to get a sense of why
they chose AdSense and what it's done for them.
And hearing their stories actually really educated me
and made me really aware of what AdSense
is possible to do.
I spoke to one publisher, and he told me that he started his
website for fun, and he put AdSense on there just to try
to cover the cost of his hosting costs.
And now he said that he's making so much money from
AdSense that he's actually able to put his kids through
college with his website.
And another example was a girl who had started this website
in her dorm room, and all she had done was essentially done
celebrity news and gossip, and it was just something that she
thought was fun to do.
And she put AdSense on there, and she started making money.
And she actually started making more money through
other advertisements, and now this was her business.
She have five employees, and she was so grateful to AdSense
for making this possible for her.
And really seeing those stories come from AdSense was
what really excites me about working on the product.
