Adwords, is it worth to try?

[mark7980]

Hi All

I've been doing SEO for a while on my website but my results are just average, I would like to know the opinion of my fellow members, I am planning to start an adwords campaign for my website, is the investment worth to try? if I invest $1000 can I expect at least to make $5000 in profits? I am thinking about start with a budget of $1000 and see how I do, anyway I need an advice.

Sure why not. Start slow and see if you make money on the traffic. Every website is different.

Did you know Google gives out vouchers to kick-start your AdWords account? So you can try it risk-free (and hopefully, from their point of view, find it worthwhile and continue).

It just so happens I'm running a little competition at the moment to give away a couple of them: Competition: win a £30 AdWords voucher at Hippo Web Solutions

Hi, before you go in with big money ensaure you set your daily budget to say $50 and then look at the response - people seem to miss the fact that if your campaign is successful at say $1.00 a click it is feasible that you could get 1,000's of visitors and blow all of your budget in one go without understanding what is happening. Those visitors may not even buy anything from you!.
Approach it with caution
Good Luck

Make sure to set your budget as stated above.
Then test, test and test.
However, dont expect a miracle.
To spend $1000 and expect $5000 in profit would be great, and can be done. However there are far too many unknown factors to consider in a statement like this.
If it was this easy, everyone would do it. Why not just spend $100,000 and make $500,000 profit (sounds like an infomercial)

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true.....

Spending $1000 on adwords correctly will deliver visitors to your site. That you can count on, beyond that, its all up to you.

I have used Adwords to promote a free daily devotional mailing list sign up. The results were very good. My focus was on building an email list for a particular niche.

I have a rather large list of subscribers.

It has turned out to be profitable because everyday I post affiliate products in with the daily devotional. Cha ching!

It cost a few dollars to build the list but, I am getting a return on my investment everyday.

We use many different forms of online advertising and many really aren't that profitable. However, Adwords consistently brings us quality traffic that does convert well. You just need to target the correct keyword terms for your market.

Why not give it a try. And while you are at it, try Yahoo Marketing as well. They can have a better ROI and you may be able to get away with starting your cost per click lower. But keep a close eye on your campaigns.
