What is this webinar about?
This special presentation will be an introduction to the Google AdWords Display Ad Builder (DAB) Tool.

Develop professional-looking custom banners within AdWords usually in just a few minutes at no cost. This is especially appealing to small or medium size business, with tight resources. Typically you will pay about $20-$25 per banner for a third party/graphic artist to create banners for you.
