question about adwords

zenlakin · 12-27-2005, 11:04 AM

So from my understanding you pay everytime someone clicks on your ad right? I was looking around and found a company that only has one ad and they are paynig 10 cents per click. Say I bid on that adwords as well and also bid 10 cents and 4000 people click on the link. I have to pay 400 bucks right? I noticed that they pay a 3% comission to me if the person that clicked on the link buys something but would that really be a good risk to take? It seems that the ratio of people clicking on my ad would have to continue through and buy something for me to make much of profit. Sound right to you guys?

Yup 4000 clicks at $0.10 each would cost you $400. Just try adwords out you can set a daily budget for $1.00 if you really wanted to and you would only spend $1.00 a day maximum or you can raise or lower that to any amount you would like. This is great because it allows you to advertise at a set rate and not have to worry about any kind of monthly fees or anything. You just pay what you want daily. Just give it a whirl you should see a boost in traffic and if your site is decent you will get some purchases going on as well.

Have you signed up for adwords at all? Just curious if for you it has been worth it?
