I have been working with Google since they were a fledgling company that was trying to claim market share from Overture/Yahoo and one of the beta testers for Gmail. When a company grows so fast, sometimes they will get sloppy.

Here is a good example, I signed up for a new MCC account for the Google Pay Per Click aka Google AdWords, the MMC confirmation email goes directly to the SPAM FOLDER in my GMAIL. I think there are simple things they overlooked….”to have Google emails not go into spam for Gmail accounts”.

 See email I got below which went into GMAIL SPAM.

Hello Eric Ewe,

We’re delighted that you’ve joined the Google Advertising Professionals Program. Using the components of this program – including online training and qualification, as well as marketing materials designed for your needs – you can more efficiently manage client accounts, extend your AdWords expertise, and attract more prospects.

To get started with the program:
1. Log into the Google Advertising Professionals Program site at https://adwords.google.com/professionals/account/?hl=en with the Google Account username and password you used during the program sign-up process. Familiarize yourself with the various elements of the site – it’s where you’ll be tracking your online training and qualifications for the program, as well as accessing useful resources such as marketing materials.
2. Create a Company account, or ask the Administrator of a Company you want to join to invite you as a Professional member (this allows you to take full advantage of the program features and benefits).
3. Create a My Client Center (MCC) account, if you don’t already have one, so you can more easily manage multiple client accounts. Managing a certain amount of spend in your My Client Center is also a requirement for qualification in the Google Advertising Professionals Program, so you should take a moment now to set up your MCC account by visiting http://www.google.com/adwords/myclientcenter.
