Is it better to loose $100 today, than to loose it over three months to finally come to the conclusion that you need to change. I would rather want to know that I need to change now.

Not all industries will make money from AdWords.

It is not a business model that will work perfectly across the board.

If you spent on targeted keywords your site should have a chance for success. Any good marketing internet based business relies on fast feedback loops to help it improve. Off the start you want to overspend on your ads so you can see which ones are effective. After a while you can regroup your ads by prices and then slash your bid price down. The ineffective ad groups or keywords will automatically shut off and your effective ads will keep displaying.

Google Advertising Professional:

The

Google Advertising Professional program

is a program which allows marketers to be certified as a Google AdWords expert. The requirements are that you spend at least $1,000 in a 90 day period after signing up, comply with their rules, and pass a test. After the 90 day period is up you can place a logo on your site which will perhaps make many people assume that Google endorses all of your SEO / SEM services.

The new program also allows you to link together up to 500 AdWords accounts so that you can access and manage them from a single login. Google also offers many

free online tutorials

which can help prepare you for the test and help you learn more about AdWords even if you do not want to take the test.

Google AdWords is Responsible Advertising:

Add all the above features to the fact that Google also offers a free web based conversion tracking tool, and you can see how the AdWords system is a direct marketers dream. Everything is targetable, tangible, and measurable right down to the cent.

Google also offers a program by the name of

Google JumpStart

where they will help set up your account for you. Likely they will not be able to set up the best account for you, but they might be able to help you get your feet wet. The fee to join JumpStart is $299, and the fee gets converted to bid clicks.

Bonus Info: How to Improve Clickthrough Rate and Slash Google AdWords Costs to Maximize Profits:

Determine Price By Position:

Often times the top ad position is losing money. To find out what the top position costs on Google AdWords you can enter $50 as your bid price at the account setup process. The estimated cost per click would be how much that position would cost you assuming the standardized assumed click through rate (I believe this to be 1%).
