Google AdWords: Do you use them?
If you use Google AdWords as a form of advertising for your company, how much do you spend per month on it? What percentage of clicks turn into customers? How many new customers a month do you get just from AdWords?
Just doing some research, thanks.

Here no "standard" answer for your questions - each case has different results/expenses.
If you plan to use them - target your monthly budget from $1000+ if you want to see results and hire PRO to setup keywords/descriptions for YOUR situation.

Yeah that's what I've been hearing from people. I guess AdWords is out of the question.

If you think Adwords is not good for you because it requires 1000+/monthly budget, then you dont know much about adwords.
I use adwords a lot. I think it is one of the best advertising methods, if it is done properly.

I disagree. If your looking at the broad industry keywords like: web, web host, web hosting...Then yes you better have deep pockets to shell out the cash for the top 3 positions.
However if you really sit back and think of some specifc keywords that you can target you will find that the CPC is quite low. Sure your not going to recieve massive amounts of traffic, however your conversion ratio should be alot better with a more targetted audience.

yep and another option besides niches is to get the really long typed words that are flukes, like when people type "web hosting with php and mysql5" or so on, if you get a huge list of those going that is as good as the big keywords that cost so much. Long tail is great if you can find those words.

There are several reports that show top 3 placings will result in much worse conversions rates compared to be being bottom of the first page or top of the 2nd.
Users that generally surfing around with no real intention to buy are liekly to click the top 3 and not research much further down the list. Users that are looking for a product with specific requirements are much more likely to buy from you.Mike Johnson - thehostinglist.com

Yes of course good point. It is crucial that you eliminate clicks that are NOT going to buy from you by giving them as much info as possible in the short ad you can place.

in a lot of cases, using your location in keywords will help
First it will return a lesser fee for CPC and second it will come up for searchers in your location who probably preffer searching for providors in their area and signing up with.POINTLeb Hosting Lebanese Hosting for the Middle East
