Getting an ROI through your PPC campaigns

How many of you are actually enrolled in the AdWords professional program?

I haven't ever signed up, but I didn't know there were benefits like different stuff in your account.  Is it worth the time and cost?

From what I understand it takes:

$50
2-4 hours
Taking a test.

Is there anything else involved in joining the AdWords pro program?  Who has actually done it?

I just found some info about the distinction from Google, read below, I think I'm going to join.

• Google's recognition as a tested and Qualified AdWords Individual or Company.
• The official AdWords Qualified Individual or Company Logo, which can be displayed on your website and in many other materials to showcase your skills and help attract clients.
• Distinction as a skilled professional.
• A Professional Status page which profiles your business name and displays Google's validation that you're an authentic Qualified Individual or Company within Google Advertising Professionals program.
• Promotional credits at a higher value, which can be applied to new client accounts to help bring in more business.
• A warm, fuzzy feeling for this grand accomplishment.

Sounds like a good idea for only $50 and some time.  Agree?
