Is AdWords Worth The Money?

    I have run out of marketing ideas and was considering using AdWords. Has anyone had any true success off of it? I am looking for a $30 budget and $0.01-$0.05 per click.

    I am also trying my luck with Adwords and I am also studying lots of material on it. I will keep you posted of my success. But you must read google adword guide, faqs etc. They have really nice documentation.

    you wil not make any money with $30 budge and 1 to 5 cennts ppc. you have to have large budget and pay lot more for the top position if you wanna make money from it. idea is to astay on ethe top so that peope visit your site. if you pay 5 cents a click, then your ad wil stay all the way at the end and no one wil click on it. after a while google will disable your keyword because its not getting any CTR. my brother makes 6-7k a month and he spends over 10k per month in adwords advertising with just one campaign

    He doesn't specify whether he wants to spend $30 a day or a month. If it's a day, then it's quite a lot.

    You won't be able to get in top positions paying only $0.01-0.05 per click, so that's very low PPC.
    First, what I would recommend, is to get more familiar with what are you doing. Read some Helps, Guides, Ebooks on Adwords, then using everything you've learned try to create your campaign.

    Start with low budget, such as $5 a day.

    I have had success with Adwords for sure. However, as other posters said, if you are using the search network it is very rare you will even get ANY clicks at $.01-$.05. You could however get cheap clicks using the content network if you do your research on how to properly approach it. In the end it is not how much you spend per click, it is your ROI.

    I would be happy to spend $.50 per click on something that converts at 5% and pays out $20.00 per sale/lead.

    I have had great success. Choose highly targeted keywords (not too broad) and you should have better conversion. Also optimize your landing page to the adword campaign and you should fair well.

    Yes and no, for Internet services, the prices are too high but for other brick and mortar industries I think it is still worth the money

    Dont be fooled. I've had top positions at 0.05 with good success. Its all about market and terminology.
