Last week, I received the following referrals according to the Urchin stats. - 511 from adwords - 1158 from all search engines - 850 from www.google.com So my question is: 1, Are Adwords included in Urchin's statistic - referral - searched term? 2, Would you suggest me to turn off adwords according to the % of traffic it generates? I am getting my blood sucked out by the adwords. Thank you very much.
It is sending traffic to my site, but my game community site and forums does not directly sell anything so the ad cost cannot be recovered. As a 3 month old site, Adwords is costing me 450/month Adsense and other ad is bring me 100/month It seems that I need to seek more efficient and lest costly method.
If you were to be kind to answer this, What methods do you suggest me to use for advertising my site according to the situation I stated above. Thank you.
I would suggest social bookmarking, signature links, comments in blogs related to your website. Look in the marketing forum for more ideas.
