I am frustrated knowing there is money to be made and adwords seems simple but mystifying at the same time. Being prior military I know that following instructions is the key but I can't seem to find a good set of instructions on what works and what doesn't. Example onneplace I go tells me to get all the keywords I can but the next place I went told me to focus aand not get so many keywords. Any thought?? Also can someone send me a private email telling me how I can get back to a post that I put in such as this one. I am brand new to this forum stuff and like it but need help. Thanks to all
Check out AdwordsExcellence.com It's where I got my start and now i'd say I'm doing pretty well in PPC. It's a free membership with a paid option, and there is a lot of good people on there (including me ) who love helping others. If you are feeling kind you can use my Aff link in my sig, otherwise the link is up at the top of the post. I'm not trying to spam you, I just really think AE is an awesome site and it's sure worth a shot anyway for the fact that it's free.
PPC-Coach knows wth he's talking about too, there's a lot of good stuff on his blog and he's really helpful around here... DigitalPoint is also a good place to go (if that's what you were talking about PPC-Coach)
Here's a great place to start. http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/ I'd go through each tutorial, make sure understand everything. Please come back here and ask anything you don't understand. There are so many helpful people here that we'd like to help as much as we can.
