So, I dont know if you have seen any of my sites in the introductions forum, or critiques forum, but I am trying to get started in this whole Adsense thing (as you all are Im sure). I am on a very limited budget being in college and all, but at the same time, if AdWords would be beneficial to me, I would be very much obliged to try it. Right now, my websites are: padetailing.com detailingFAQ.blogspot.com detailing101.blogspot.com teen-insurance.blogspot.com time4collge.blogspot.com cincyhonda.blogspot.com Those are in order of which sites are doing the best currently. Right now Im averaging between .25 and 1.00 a day with my high day being 2.46. Outstanding, eh? Anyways, would Adwords be beneficial to me, and if so, which site do you think I should implement it for? Thanks! Matt
Depending on the amount of money it is beneficial to everyone. Try it out for a little while and see were it takes you.
I just dont know how much to spend, what my limits should be, what "beneficial" should mean in terms of my websites (besides the obvious, getting more than I put in), etc. -Matt I almost wish I could "demo" it for a week and see how it works, somehow...
Most people who try wind up losing money. You can be successful, but there is a learning curve during which you will almost certainly lose money. Refining your ads and keyword list takes time and trial and error. I've seen some adwords vouchers for sale where you could experiment with a minimal risk.
No reason that it shouldn't work, if you get it right. The daily budget isn't that big an issue - the less you spend per day, the longer it'll take to tell whether it's working, and what to change. You'll be able to see what sort of conversion rate you can get from about 200 clicks or so, and you should quite quickly be able to establish how much a click is going to cost you (though you can lower this through optimising your campaign). I'd guess that a total spend of $100 - $200 would give you some idea whether this campaign has any chance... Just make sure that your keywords are in the title of your advert, and it's very clear exactly what you are offering...
