    My keyword is PHP, php scripts, webmasters.

    and US (country targeted)

    What would be the recommended daily budget? I'm selling PHP scripts.

    You might want to add selling as a keyword in there...Not sure if that would help or not actually, just a thought.

    Start small and test. If it is successful with a good conversion rate you can increase your budget. It is hard to say without any other information so start small to be safe.

    Well currently my budget is like $5. The results is poor; managed to get 3 clicks a day average. Raised it to $20 still the same results.

    You need to dig a bit deeper in your keywords. Bidding on those general terms will make getting profitable almost impossible. Dig down to the actual niche you want to show ads to instead.

    Hi

    your keywords are far too general, they are not buying keywords.

    I would narrow the terms.

    If you are selling php scripts, then mention that, maybe low cost php scripts, or cheap php scripts. Something more specific to do with buying rather than looking/researching.

    My examples are a little general too as I know nothing about your market. But go after "credit card out" type terms.

    Just thoughts.

    Test various landing pages, and/or use different landing pages for each phrase. It can change both ppc traffic, pricing and conversion significant.

    Good luck

    Dear Nazstory ,
    as already pointed here your terms PHP, php scripts, webmasters etc are very generalized.
    Try the key word estimator tool in seobook.com to see how much generalized they are, try to narrow it down.

    Niche is important. This will bring the right visitor to the site.

    Try to Focus on the terms that are searched less-- There is less competition. You will occupy the first position in the list and there is much more chance of getting visitor.
