    I have been using adwords since the past few weeks.
    is adwords suitable for small or starter businesses because it drains alot of money with no conversions.

    I cannot simply afford to waste £1000/month because thats a big risk i would be taking on whether my products will sell or not.

    I have only invested £100, half of which has been used up.

    Each click costs £0.69 when my Ad is placed in the top 3 position and at times my Ad does not show at that bid because my bid is too low.

    I am using only 1 keyword with highest number of impressions and a high ctr. With my other keywords, i was not getting much clicks or impressions so i paused them.

    Next to the keyword, i am using it says min bid £0.08. When i set my keyword at that bid, after a while it says that my bid is too low to show at the selected position.

    are there any adword experts that pay under 10 cents or 10 pence per click while the Ads are at top positions?

    Yes it is, it helps especially if you are not into internet services, where the keywords costs a bomb for me I am able to limit Adwords to $10 each day.

    The effectiveness of the champaign also depends on a market saturation and the margin of your products.
    Make it sure you use as relevant keyword as it possible.

    Go for off the beaten path keywords instead of really obvious ones and you'll pay far less per click.

    That's a funny question to ask, have you used Adwords before?

    I have used adwords.
    My experiences is using a daily budget of £10 and getting only around 15 clicks and no purchases.
    so what can one get with £10 or $10?
