Google Ad Words


i Just started doing adwords and was wondering ratios of clicks per estimate? I was looking through my clicks and have gotten 190 clicks but only about 12 estimates. Is this normal.

If you have a link to the article, that would be cool too, just to post or e-mail to anyone interested.

You have been a valuable asset to this site with your sharing, Glen. Thanks.

Nlgutters: have you set a monthly budget for your campaign or you're just paying for what it is?

I think that 12 leads is a pretty nice score too, depends how much you had to pay ...?

I set a budget. At first i did 25 a day and didn't get much at all. Then i lifted it to 50 a day. I never actually use that much bu it semed to move me up. They have cost me about 50 each. Which is 1/3 of my normal lead cost.

Re: Google Ad Words


Lets see if I found the article Glen alluded to with a more definitive search phrease.

Thought Stringing brought me to the following link:
www.Mattbacak.com
which had an article link on his blog for

http://www.wholesaletrafficsystem.com/stringing/
Which is a 12 page report with links to 2 other free reports which also may be usefull.

Check out the 2nd link first and get the free downloads.
