Are You Making Money With PPC? (Especially Adwords)

havplenty · 02-18-2009, 12:29 PM

Hi Warriors,

I am doing some research on the efficiency of PPC and would love some help in establishing the viability of PPC in todays climate.

I have included a short poll and would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks all,

Hav

I was creating whilst the thread went live. The poll is now live, sorry about that.

The only problem is that I think folks may have answers different from your 4 options.

For instance I used Adwords, but had minimal success and decided I was better off spending the time generating free traffic. So I don't use Adwords currently, but it is not because I found it cumbersome. I just had enough unprofitable campaigns, followed by some that were marginally profitable and then unprofitable and it just was a lot of overhead for very little income and possibly running a loss. Perhaps if I'd been selling higher ticket items, I would have stuck with it.

Yes, adwords is the marketers greatest tool. I think the biggest roadblock for people is that they don't want to lose any money, unfortunately with adwords that's about the only way you can generate a profitable campaign.

The viability of PPC has no relation to how successful other people have been with it.

There are people making money and people losing money - that's nothing to do with what your options are.

You can make a lot of money with PPC, but you got to check your competition and watch your biding. Also, make sure you have a good product and grab email so you can build your list everyday. Do something that your competition is not doing, try to be different. good luck

I answered "too difficult" but that's because I'm focusing on something else at the moment and it would be "too difficult" to add something new right now.
