    Has anyone here used AdWords to build up traffic to a site that does not sell anything just one that has content? How many many of the people who came to your site from your AdWords ad came back? How much was your CPC?

    Yes, I have. Used it to get some traffic to my forums. Anyway, it was not worth it. Adwords works best for sites that sells products or service.
    You can sustain spending money on adwords to bring you traffic for sites that only generate money through ad clicks unless you do arbitrage.

    I am planning on building a site and putting AdSense on it. If you use AdWords to get traffic to your site do you get anough people to click on the AdSense ads to make it worth it?

    it's getting harder to get cheap clicks everyday, so i'm not sure arbitrage is working anymore...

    Yes, I have seen that Adwords is helpful in bringing traffic to the site. But it is not guranteed that the traffic will further convert to clicks.
