Adwords campaign

[Weirfire]

I'm thinking about starting an adwords campaign and I was wondering if there were any web designers who have used adwords?

If there are can I ask what kind of successes you have had with it? I'm not looking to spend a lot on it, maybe around £15 a week for 4 weeks. Can I expect any business from spending this amount?

If yuo give me a dozen keywords, I'll put them into our account and see what it will cost per click to get a descent ranking. That will also tell you the expected click thru's. Yuo probably know your site's conversion rate so after that you know what you can expect from 15 a week.

My gut feeling:

Yes, no matter how small your budget, you will get relevant traffic.

I will check UK prices in a few hours after the couriers have gone here... Too busy now but will do. Bids can vary a lot between US and UK on Overture and AdWords I found.

Weirfire,

I would create a specific landing page for each KW or KW group targeting the same type of phrases. Then you can more easily track your visits from Adwords as well as tailor your message to those visitors.

Also, I would watch your google "budget" as it is only an approximation of how much you will spend in your campaign. Kind of lame that they choose to do it that way, unlike Overture who has a set amount.

[T0PS3O]

What do you mean?

It won't go over your budget at all.

[chachi]

really, maybe you can convince them to send me my money back then :)

Chachi, convince them yourself. I'm pretty sure they normally always go just over the budget but never debit more. That would be theft.

[chachi]

aww, now that is not the spirit. :(

My experience is they are better at maximizing revenues for google than for us. (maybe that is why the stock has boomed)

We are still using them, but we are spending more per day than our limit (a little) and they have suggested strongly we do stuff that we know won't work for us.

[schlottke]

Yeah, their suggestions are rarely accurate.

[Weirfire]

That sounds fairly reasonable :)

Thanks TOPS30

I would stay away from "site-targeted", especially in the beginning - it can get VERY expensive, VERY quickly:)

lol so it is. I bet there's 15 other posts exactly the same.

Hey, so I admit in making an honest mistake.

Chicago: You couldn't even get the correct url to reference my other post - at least I know how to "copy and paste". Now THAT is hilarious! :D

I'll keep an eye out for your copy & paste seminar;)
