    like use adwords at 0.01/click and try to get more users. i'm sure 1/100 users will click a google ad again and everythig will even out till i get enough users?

    Sure, if you are averaging $1 from adsense and you can buy adwords for .01/click to drive traffic to your site, why not? Go for it. You will be making a killing.

    It all depends upon the niche you are targeting. Is it high paying or not.

    If you are using adwords for the purpose of driving traffic to your adsense based website it's called "arbitrage" and your google adsense account will be banned for it. About 1 year ago a ton of publishers got banned because of this...

    If you're averaging 1.00 per click and you know you'll have at least a 1% ctr then paying .01 for a click on adwords seems like a smart idea to get more traffic and at least break even. However, at 1.00 per click I'd say you're in a pretty competitive niche, which means you won't be able to buy many clicks for .01.

    I used to use adwords to get traffic to my forum site, but I was only willing to pay .30-.40 per click. I almost never got an adsense ad clicked on, I literally only got about 2 clicks per month. After a few months of that (since I'm not willing to pay upwards of 2-5$ per click) I decided it wasn't worth my time.

    Anything that increases traffic can't hurt. Worst case you blow a few dollars for no clicks and you have learnt you need a better ppc campaign or it doesn't work for your niche.

    That's the problem I foresee in any high paying niche. Adsense revenues reflect Adword cost fairly directly I would imagine.

    I think your web site about high paying niche so you can't bid for low amount , but be tricky and dont follow other bidders just make your style and try may you'll be success but , surelly you can't bid for 1 cents , what is your niche fnd?

    fanaddict is right, this was declared to be a 'poor business model' or something like that about a year ago and lots of people had their accounts closed because of it.
    proceed with caution, even if the numbers look promising.

    This only a good idea if you're purposely trying to get banned from Google.

    Arbitrage will get your bid price knocked up to the point where you may only be breaking even, if that. This model is specifically mentioned as one that will get you a low LPQ score in Adwords.

    you can not deside how much per click you will get, what you have to do is to add more contents, do more promotion.

    Anyone can write a few pages about some stock trading tips and get $1 per click. The challenge here is to get legitimate, natural traffic. Buying it from Adwords will just get you banned.
