    Iv been needing but skared for sum tyme to start a adwords campaign!
    being im poor! :(
    can i safely set a low daily budget?
    and effectively get quality traffic?
    in heavily saturated niches??
    like image hosting, file hosting, myspace related, hiphop etc
    how much should i expect to spend per day or week?

    If you are doing this in a heavily saturated niche then you may have a hard time getting results without a good size investment.

    If you're poor, I'd try affiliate marketing first. Maybe some bum marketing. I don't know what you're promoting exactly, but I don't see much money in image hosting and file hosting unless you sell a specific product.

    You set your own budget - so this would only happen if you've been unrealistic in setting a budget you can't afford in the first place, and allow it to keep running without keeping an eye on it.
    Those are popular niches, but you can try exploiting longtails as your keywords.
    It might be worth setting a small but realistic budget that you are prepared to lose, just to test some things out.
    However, I'll say it again - and I keep repeating myself because I think it needs to be said.
    Arbitrage - using adwords to get people to your site to click on adsense - is not a viable business these days. It was some years ago, and it still works for a few people who have well-oiled campaigns and know exactly what they are doing, but it's an easy way to LOSE money. Google have been cracking down on it, they don't like it, and if they don't ban you altogether, they try to price you out doing it.

    start an GG adwords Accountant with 50usd . It won't cost you much. Get rid of the backend of adwords and use it.

    It will largely defend on your site type and target market.
