    Why not start now?

    Just start with a small budget and a few keywords and build slowly, watching how your traffic increases. Dont forget to enter your voucher code.

    Unfortunately, Adwords will disapprove any ads that you might set up for your site. You display online gambling banners which are not allowed.

    Hi

    Thanks for the advice. So what you are saying is because i have the gambling banners i can never use adwords.If so thats gonna be a waste of a £20 voucher they gave me.

    unfortunately no gambling promotional sites are allowed. It will most likely be a waste of a voucher.

    I suppose that banner goes someway to paying towards your hosting and thruput fees?

    Why don't you try and find another 'banner niche' that doesn't involve gambling advertising?

    Your hosting provider may be a good place to start looking many offer banners as a way to offset hosting costs and you may be able to 'tailer it' to your exact requirments.

    How do Google feel if your landing page does not include the gambleing banners yet the major pages within your site do?

    For example if you were to target footballing events (Promotional playoff's this weekend for example) and have a bespoke page for pre/post match comments with no banners on there.

    I'm guessing lots of interest, lots of potencial traffic and if the content and design is good could encourage people to navagate your site or even sign up to a newsletter. Just a couple of thoughts

    Get started right away but be sure to monitor things closely and track your conversions. Also Google some adwords tutorials. You need to read up on this stuff!!

    You could do up a landing page without gambling banners or references, but that may still not work if they manually review it. They just don't like online gambling stuff.
