I'm loving Adwords!

    I bought a $66 Coupon for only $9 Google Adwords and Have set my budget to $5AUD (around $4us) a day. Since I've started my Proxy has been recieving over 200 uniques normally I get under 100 uniques a day and my adsense revenue has jumped I was getting $0.00 a day and some days if I was lucky Id get $0.10 and now I'm getting over $1.00 a day! Now say I'm making a $1 a day and it's costing me $4 from adwords but I paying only paying like 1/6 of the $4 because I used a coupon so it's costing me under a $1 a day and so as a result I'm making a bit of money still and getting alot more visitors! THANK THE LORD FOR ADWORDS AND ADSENSE!

    Yeah I'm dreading the day the coupon runs out lol or that I get clicked bombd! Awstats has been reporting that 20% of my visitors have saved my site in their favourites and I'm also getting 40% returning visitors according to Google Analytics which I'm really happy about.

    Thats a good return from Google Analytics. I thought that Awstats just guessed how many people added it to fav's.
    Is the awstat an accurate stat?

    $1/day, and you will own the money back in 2 month. Good, I will try that also.

    I'll actually get the money back in a week because I'm getting over a $1 a day and the coupon only cost me $9 but then I had to deposit $20 because you need to make a deposit to activate the coupon. I actually would be happy even if I come out of this even because then I've got my returning visitors from this.

    I don't think it's accurate as I have previously had around 200%+ save my site in their favourates.

    Adwords is really good, as it brings targeted traffic to your website rather than anyone randomly landing on your page.

    Keep in mind that returning visitors won't click your ads.

    It depends really. If the ads change then the returning visitors may click on the ads.

    I started an adwords account before I knew about coupons and vouchers. It was the biggest mistake in my life as far as ROI. They say you have to have a new account to get a voucher, I guess its not even worth the trouble for me.

    I stopped using adwords after I forgot my voucher expired and got a bill for over £100! Wasnt happy but it was my own fault. Im still new to all this and that kinda put me off trying it again.
