    You really have to be getting quite a bit of visitors to make an *real* money.. if you site was youTube for example, you could probably retire to the bahama's lol. But I have around a thousand visitors a month to my site, I get around $2-$3 a week running both ads and search with Google Adsense.

    yes, you can make money using adwords but the competition is so fierce. If you are advertising your website with Adwords, the first thing you should do is to use advertising copy specific to your product offer. Using broad keyword terms may drive more visitors to your website that have no intention to purchase, resulting in a decrease in conversion rate. You need targeted visitors. Use longer, more specific keyword phrases.

    Targeted traffic is the key but you can use broad match if you have enough confident with your LP and product, also use it to leech kw idea and learn the behavior of some kw.

    Yes but you need to outsmart the competition by finding keywords that are cheaper and more targeted. I would rather have 10 highly targeted visitors (ready to buy with their Credit card in their hand) than 1,000 general (browser) visitors.

    Using this technique I've created many landing pages that rake in between $50 to $100 in profits each day. Multiple that by 5-10 different campaigns and you've got yourself a good chunk of change.

    ya you can make real money from adwords.
    use advertising copy specific to your product offer,use keyword phrase which has larger search volume in the area which you wanna target.
    content of your site must contain that keywords and keyword should be easily searched.
