Ok this is my first time buying adword ads. I noticed the way it's set up is tricky. If i'm willing to spend 30 bucks say .02 a click. What do I do? Confused (Puts up adword newbie flame shield)
For example it says Limit Max per day. If I put it at 30 (max i'm willing to spend) Does that mean the next day it will charge me another 30 making it a total of 60?
Google only charges you for the actual clicks per day. The limit is how much you are willing to spend on advertising - not how many clicks will actually occur. So if you set the budget for $30.00 and you only end up getting $24.00 worth of clicks, then you are charged $24.00 for the day. The next day, the budget is reset to $30.00 and the cycle repeats. Keep in mind, you do not pay in advance per day. You set the budget, Google keeps track of your account, and then you pay for the clicks used. In your scenario, if the link is clicked to the maximum, you would owe Google $60.00 after two days. Hope that helps.
Is more or less what you think about. 30 is the max that it will charge you per day, when it reaches that value the campaing stops until next day- but in beginning is hard that your campaign can reach this value this per day. Also normally you can monitor along the day the clicks, so you can pause it before it reach the 30.
So if I set it to 30 bucks for one day. And say when I meet this amount, is it at all possible to close my campaign? Because in all I only wanna spend 30 bucks.
Yes, You can pause/resume your campaign whatever you want. Or close your account. You can monitor in realtime the status of your campaign clicks, so you can see cent by cent of your 30 bucks.
I may have misunderstood you but I think you are saying you only wish to spend $30 total not $30 a day. If you only wish to spend $30 then it might be worth setting a low daily limit of $5 say, so you can have a few days to monitor the way it works, if you are then not happy with the way things are going you can stop the account, however if in those few days if you start to earn more than your investment you can increase the amount you are willing to spend.
If you want your clicks worth no more than $.02, make sure to spend lots of time researching tons of keywords. I think you should enable content clicks too.
