First Adwords Campaign

So I setup my first adwords campaign to try and drive traffic to my CPA offers landing page.
Everything seems to go well and I'm glad I used a budget cap!

I used the auto default max $6.12, I set my max daily budget at $20.
I have $85 left in my account before I started this campaign (I was fooling around with this months ago just testing the waters).

within 1 hour my campaign stopped (because it hit just under the $20 cap) and here are my stats:
Clicks 5
Impressions 1,348
CTR 0.37%
Avg. CPC $3.61
Avg. CPM $13.38
Total Cost $18.03

Unfortunately I didn't get any CPA zip/email submits but it is crazy how in that small period of time I got that many impressions, my url shows on the ad so hopefully my domain name will stick in people's heads and they'll visit it later.

As I stated... I am new at this and going to keep working at it to hopefully start turning these into successful submits!

Let me know what you all think

    Im about to save you a ton of money, instead of buying clicks, you should invest in quality backlinks which will give you free trafic if you do it right. I would take your budget and spend it on ODesk or backlinkteam and buy backlinks for one specific keyword string so you get ranked on it quickly. This is only if your niche is pretty easy to get ranked for which it may not be, i would have to know what your niche is but newbies in Adwords is never a good idea. Impressions mean nothing in IM by the way and people typically wont remember you and come back. Impressions just means that people say your ad. If they were interested they would have clicked on your ad. Good luck with everything. Thanks
