My buddy was able to get his manager approval for an internal Google AdWords account! So it looks like we're back in business.

However, I'm not quite sure how this is going to work. Technically, it's his account, but I'm not sure if I will need my manager's approval as well. I won't have my own account; I'd just be helping him optimize his.

I just received an email from him requesting an optimization for some Amazon sites he signed up for. I guess I'll take a look. This should be interesting.
