    For a competitive keyword, not very many. You can type it into spyfu.com to get an estimate of the click costs. At 50 cents a click its about 100 a day for example.

    If you can I would recommend choosing less competitive and cheaper keywords to get more traffic. Go for `long tail` keywords.

    Of course, it is totally worth it.!

    You know, Google AdWords is an amazing tool if you learn the bits and pieces of it. However, if you do it without any pre-requisite, then be ready to end up penniless. Search Engines love your money, so it is up-to you to save it from them, and I have run multiple campaigns on AdWords, couple of them really clicked.

    And Yes, like mentioned above, try and use keywords which are less targeted yet are competent enough to drive leads/sales. If you go for highly targeted keywords from day one, you would most likely lose all your money. But, regardless, Google AdWords shouldn't start without a long term plan.

    You shouldn't just jump into adwords a lot of people have lost a ton of money that way. Do your research and do a minimal investment test run before you put a good chunk of change on a campaign.

    I agree with BENNY8877.. Also, if you are new to online advertisement.. it would be better if you looked around more for options.. Google Adwords is very easy and very good no doubt.. but if you don't know what you are doing. . you could end up burning a lot of money quickly.

    Thanks for advice, i'm working for about half a year as a seo specialist, and have been using only free methods of promoting (6 keywords), it takes a long time to promote a competitive keyword... Now i want to try any paid method, maybe onyone can suggest some other methods besides google adwords ..

    For some of my sites Adwords works great, others not so much. Depends on how much money I can afford to spend per click relative to the profit of the item I'm selling.

    Obviously it will provide you good traffic, depends on the the CPC of that keyword. Selecting less competitive terms will help you in less budget
