Is Adwords a good place to start ??

[lotsoflove]

There are other books written that will help you understand adwords and how to use them. FYI. Adwords is a service provided by Google. Adwords are effective because your ads are targeted.

Understand that everytime someone clicks an ad that person who placed the ad is charged a fee by Google. It is called CPC (cost-per-click). Still, using adwords can be sucessful when promoting your niche, if you know what you are doing. You must be able to see the big picture.

There is a book by Peter Kent called 'Search Engine Optimization For Dummies,' (2nd Edition) or 'Building Your Business with Google For Dummies' wrtten by Brad Hill.

I am a Google fan and the second book was especially helpful.

I don't recommend Adwords for newbies.

Once you are ready to try it however before you spend a dime buying some ebook to learn it, realize Adwords offers all kinds of training programs and videos on almost every aspect for free. So don't overlook that training. If you can't find all of it just ask and I'll go try to find it for you.

I think Adwords feature isn't easy enough to a newbie. More good if they used by a senior marketer. In my opinion, YSM feature is more easy so if you a newbie you need to learn about YSM first or others PPC for then learn about Adwords. If you don't unusual to use it, you'll get anything unless a loss. Of course it depend on type of your site.

I started on adwords as a newbie and did better towards the beginning than i am doing now. Things have changed i suppose. Overall, its been a good ride.

I did find that keywords on yahoo were more expensive than on adwords. I've yet to try msn or any others.
