Hi y'all, I'm new to the forum & DP, and PPC in general! I was wondering what PPC programs are out there, adn which ones are the best for beginning advertisers or new sites? Do any of them offer acredit towards free advertising? I've heard a lot of people have lost a lot of oney with aprogram called Adwords by Google, is that true? I'd really like to start some PPC advertising, but have no idea where to start! Can anyone help me? I look forward to hearing all the wonderful info. everyone has on this topic! Thanks,
I was on the phone with Google Adwords representative a little earlier tonight nad was surprised to hear a couple of things. 1. YOu can set up your Adwords account right away, usually within 15 minutes, but your ad won't be displayed for 3 days unti they have checked it over thoroughly! Which I guess is agood thing, limiting the crap that some people come up with! But 3 days? Come on! 2. There are preset limits you have to reach before you can increase your campaign budget, $50.00 being the first one! So I guess you can't just decide to budget 1,000 from the start if you have it!
I would imagin that is up to 3 days and not exactly 3 days. Don't forget that Adwords makes millions and with every ad having to be manually approved by them can take alot of staff to get through them. So it would take a while. Adwords is a good ppc company but as you said you can easily loose alot of money. This is mainly down to you doing it wrong rather than fraud happening. There is much more fraud in other ppc companies rather than Google Adwords. I think Adwords is a good choice, but you have to spend a little at a time and keep testing your campaigns by changing them slightly, altering the prices of them, etc.
