#158: Gmail Ads! How to Get Targeted, Cost-Effective Traffic with this Little Known Strategy with Charles Kirkland

We’ve been talking a lot about Facebook ads on the podcast lately, so we’re going to change things up today and talk about another interesting traffic strategy: Gmail ads.

And joining me to share his knowledge is Charles Kirkland who was a guest here on The Art of Paid Traffic way back on episode 21.

Charles is the founder of mediabuyerassociation.com and he’s a very smart dude when it comes to all things paid traffic.

This episode is a result of a conversation Charles and I had a couple of weeks ago where he mentioned to me about the tremendous opportunities he was seeing with Gmail ads.
