I am new to the whole adsense and adwords scene here with my new site (the one in my sig) and all. Just wanted to know from the pros out there is the adwords program is worth it to get into or not? Thanks Dave
It depends what you want to get into Adwords for. I've been using various PPC engines and have to say that the quality of traffic from adwords remains unrivaled.
It depends also on the niche you are into. If let's say your target is to earn based on commission from sales of a particular product which pays let's say $20. I think it's worth using adsense paying 0.10 for the lead to drive traffic to your site and work on the conversions. For instance, web hosting and forex.
Definitely worth it. There are ton of things you can promote with it. They can be a pain at times but it's still very much worth it.
Sometimes(many times actually) it doesn't worth the effort.. but it's good if you want traffic quick.. I mean.. not that quick but faster than organic at least
From a quick look at your site - would I be correct in thinking it's main or only source of income is adsense? So what you want adwords for is basically arbitrage. In that case, no, it's not worth it. Google doesn't like arbitrage, and makes it difficult and expensive for you.
I think it's worth it, it drives very targeted traffic to your site. I think organic is better, but in the meantime that you are building up your ranking drive traffic with adwords.
if you have a product or service to sell, adwords is great... But I see you just have a blog, and adwords is not really a good promotion for that
