    depends on your niche.

    None competitive niche

    $0.25 per click x 1,000 uniques = $250

    Highly competative niche

    $5.00 per click x 1,000 uniques = $5,000

    Depends completely on the keywords you are shooting for, less competitive the keyword the less uniques you will get per day as well.

    I, honestly, have only made roughly $34 USD with google adwords. I've invested $20 and fortunately gotten $50 credit for a total of $70. Though I have three pages of digital products, I've only benefit from one sale in the past month. I guess that's not bad but I was hoping for much, much better results. I hope some one can shed some quality advice in light of this disappointing experience.

    If you need large traffic, then I would not suggest to go for Adwords, because it can very expensive if you need 1000 uniques a day.

    Go for SEO.

    Adwords can bring you laser targetted traffic if you know how to use it properly. You must know how to make money out of the traffic. thats it.

    The amount that you would have to pay for 1,000 clicks per day depends on a number of factors which you should read up on before considering using Adwords. If you are only looking for traffic and your interest in Adwords does not relate to e-commerce, I would take Bl4ckman^'s suggestion and conduct some SEO.

    I have a webhosting company and i that is a very competitive niche.. As i am new to the business, i couldn't afford it.. so.. i still have adwords but because i am not willing to pay a retarded amount per click, my ad very seldom gets view.. unless your a giant... it doesn't work for the little guy.. my opinion anyway..

    Adwords is actually the biggest scam going - bar none.
    why not buy text links on reputable sites in your niche?

    Sounds like you had a bad experience with Adwords. That doesn't mean that Adwords is a scam, just that you probably didn't know what you were doing.

    Adwords just so happens to be the single most powerful advertising system on the planet. To recommend text ads over Adwords is a joke.

    because buying reputable links on other sites does not put you on the tope page of google in minutes for any keyword you want, with any messaging you want.

    the only thing i hate about adwords is how addicting it is.

    i dream it, i think it, and i do it all day.

    sad, i know. i have no life outside of the internet, but damn, its fun.

    Adwords is the best way to generate traffic you are ready to spend money..

    But you must be efficent enough to manage the clicks and cost, and budgets accurately to get right ROI.

    You need to be creative in ads and intelligent in adding keywords and placing bids

    What is the best way to get affordable, targeted traffic from Adwords? So far I haven't figured this one out.
