This should be standard practice for any message no matter how it is sent. Along with the "did you receive my e-mail?" question you can always add, "is there any other information you need" or 'did I cover everything we discussed?" This is good practice no matter what form the initial communication was in and even more important given the sometimes 'iffy' nature of e-mail as you so aptly point out.

Of course, that only works well if you know the name of the tool. In this case, it is the Google Adwords Preview Tool. Or, you can memorize this URL. http://www.google.com/adpreview (no trailing slash) which redirects to a much longer URL. On the right-side of the Adwords Preview Tool there is a box where you may specify, country, states, cities or regions. You should be able to find your ads there. Also, you can refine the results page by adding location attributes and values manually to the URL of the ad preview page. For example, if you are trying to preview ads for "real estate" in Chicago, IL, the URL you would use would look like: http://www.google.com/search?adtest=on&hl=en&q=real+estate&gr=US-IL&gcs=Chicago The basic parameters are &gl= for Country, &gr= for Region, &cs= for City.

First, where is it located on the Google Adwords site? Second, when I used the link in your blog and tried the ad preview it didn't seem to work for ads that are geographically limited. Am I doing something wrong or does Ad Preview only look at national results? Two questions on Ad Preview. First, where is it located on the Google Adwords site?
