I can tell you from experience that almost no one clicks on Adword ads on google's search. They want the organic results because they are perceived as more "honest" results.
Hi, garyJinvest18 I think it is not a bad idea to promote your sites via Google Adwords if you need instant traffics before your SEO efforts come into effects but this would not help your SERP for your targeted keywords. Also, social networking sites like twitter, facebook and linkedin would be other nice sources for free traffics. Have a nice day,
I can tell you from my experience that several thousand people a month DO click on them. Most searchers have little idea what the difference is between a sponsored and an organic link, and even fewer care as long as they find something of interest of them.
I rarely click too. I think you are asking if it is worth paying for these ads since the click rate is so much lower that organic listings. If that is your point, my opinion is yes. A business should do everything it can for exposure. Just make sure you are targeting the right people with your ads.
In my opinion, NO. Google ranks you from the keywords you have and all the other shebang. So it doesn't make sense if you bribe them. But if you mean to say that you will pay or purchase some of their services to get your site high on the ranks, then that depends on how much you're budget is.... Eitherways, goodluck.....
