Hm, I got my coupon last week and just put it on the back burner of my to-do list (probably never to be seen again, if I know myself). The best thing about Adwords is the keyword finder anyway. Lol.

JJ, to respond to your question, no I didn’t actually get that many clicks but that’s because the keywords I was bidding on cost me about $1.30/click. It all depends on your niche/business and the competitiveness of the keywords you want to bid on. I know that for some keywords you can only get 2 clicks for $100, while for others you could get a few hundred.

Hi JJ! First, thanks for the visit over at OIMS And, the url I used with my name (above) this time will take you to an expert’s opinion and usage of google adwords. In a nutshell though, and this guy knows of what he speaks, $500 seems to be the magic “starting number” when delving into adwords. A large bank account, the willingness to do a ton of homework ahead of time, and re-investing any profits over and over until you are solidly in the black and can afford to pull out any profits (leaving most of it to continue work for you) is the short version. However, the average person or novice, in my opinion, should steer clear until they are fully educated on how exactly to use google adwords correctly.

@Josh, thanks so much for your input and I’m so glad that you had good results with your coupon. Did you actually get 1000 visitors from your ads? Maybe the next time if I get another coupon, I’ll get some help from you. lol Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment I really do appreciate it and hope to see you back here again, and like to hear your point of views.

I actually got one of these too. It wasn’t a Valentine’s Day card but it just came in the mail with a brochure about AdWords and a coupon code. The address on it was http://www.google.com/ads/offer and the code worked when I tried it. I disagree with the person who said it translates to less than 100 visitors – it really depends on the keywords you’re targeting. The minimum bid is something like 10 cents, so you could actually get closer to 1000 visitors if you go for non-competitive keywords. Either way, it’s worth it since it’s basically free.

Hi Lili, Thanks so much for visiting my blog AND leaving a comment it is greatly appreciated. Isn’t it fun being on the internet trying to do research and you get sidetracked? I can’t count the number of times this has happened to me, such is life on the internet. You mentioned that you received a Google coupon? If you have, it would tell you what the coupon is worth say maybe $100.00 then you are encouraged or rather it would only make sense to add to your ad campaign. The problem is that it doesn’t seem to be working for everyone that is receiving these coupons in the mail. But please come back and let me know how it worked out for you, would love to hear anything you can report back to momscashblog regarding your Google Adword Redeemable Coupon experience. Just visited your new blog, and I think you have a hit there. Thanks again for coming over and please return anytime. jj

We got one of those at work, too, but we’ve never used Google adwords so I didn’t know how much that sort of thing cost in the first place. I started to do some research but then got sidetracked and never got back to it. It’s still something I’ll be looking into (while waiting for the next coupon?)to see if it would be worth the investment.

Hi FitnessDiva, Thanks for your comment regarding putting an ad up on Google, yes I agree with you knowing what we know about SEO it would be easier now to put a good ad up on Google Adwords. The problem is the redeemable coupons that they are sending out are NOT working for all of the people. Some of us are getting strange commands like “only one per customer” or “you have entered the wrong code”, when we are doing everything that they are telling us to do according to their coupon. I love your blog/website and am very glad that you have taken the time to visit and comment over here at momscashblog. I appreciate your visit. Can you make me a “fitness diva”? Now that’s a challenge. lol jj

I got free RM100 from Adwords too. But still don’t know how to spend it. Which keyword should I target since I already got most of the traffic from search engine?

I used Adwords years ago when I put up my first website. It was the only way I knew to advertise at the time. Since then, with all the other ad networks I use, I kinda forgot about good old Adwords. Might be a good time to get back on that train. With all that I know about SEO now, I could probably put up much better ads than I used to, and it would be more worth it!

Hey Plin, Thanks for coming back and giving me/us your thoughts, arguments and perspective. I truly enjoy the feedback . As I had mentioned in my post I was treading lightly picking out words that didn’t cost an arm & a leg. You are so right when you say that the money will be exhausted quickly, in fact that was one issue that came up in several of the forums. Many people had been hit with bills that exceeded the $100 of course and some were even shocked at this,the ones that were able to get an ad up that is. Thanks for giving your view, always good to hear what others think. jj

When you use adwords you are essentially bidding for advertising keywords. The 100 unique visitors is based on an assumption that you will bid $1 keyword. One issue I see is that the money will be exhausted rapidly unless you are selling a service/product where immediate traffic conversion translates into revenue.

Personally, I enjoy blog networks such as Entrecard, CMFAds or Adgitize. They provide a decent number of visitors at a much cheaper cost. Although the visitors might not as relevant, the number of visitors and the advertising cost makes them a much more viable option.

Hi Plin, Glad to see you back here and I think you are right, it could of been a very good thing for you. But I wonder had you ever thought of putting up an ad in Adwords? It does cost money especially without the coupon, but I wonder how many would put up an ad in the first place. You mention that $100 will translate to 100 visitors… do you feel that the 100 visitors is not worth it or what are you insinuating? Would love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks so much for coming back to my blog and leaving a comment always enjoy your insights. Thanks again Plin, jj

Hi JJ,
I actually have a similar experience. After I received an email with the coupon code, I started the process of creating an ad. However, after some calculation $100 will translate to < 100 visitors, I decided to put it on hold. Guess that turns out to be a good decision.

Hey Laura, LOL That’s exactly when it should of been sent out! You’re onto something there. I wonder have you ever or recently received any coupons from Google Adwords, especially where you have a retail e-store I’m wondering if they (google) are singling out business’s to put up an ad?

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment,I always look forward to your words of wisdom. jj

Hi JJ!

Its a clever way for Google to get bloggers(etc) to think about using Adwords, or its that perhaps it was the wrong date to send them out. It should had been sent out in time for April Fools

Hi JJ

Good to see your site back up and running. I also received one of these Google Adwords $100 vouchers here in Australia. I was going to use it for my new genealogy blog but I never got round to using them.

I suppose this time the tortoise wins… lol
