I have just made a new website which I am looking to get some attraction. I am thinking of trying google adwords but it sounds way too complicated. Is there any experianced adwords advertisers that can help around with it? I don't have a lot of cash to waste since I might as I have no knowledge with google adwords.

Although, you might get better results by having a "pro" do the work for you, you will have to pay them a fee for managing the campaigns for you.

It might be better if you are trying to save your cash to spend some time and try it out. I am not by any means a pro at this but I finally took the plunge myself.

I was so scared when I put up my first ad but was pleasantly surprised when I had a $3.00 commission from $0.52 of advertising. Now I might not get rich on that but the point is I did force myself to learn and was able to do it.

Adwords is getting harder than it was before but really the best way to learn is to buy a $100 coupon, you can usually get one at DP for pretty cheap and set your budget per day and cost per click low then create a bunch of different ad copies with different keywords and press go. After you play with it for a day then read stuff from the pros http://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/

For someone with not much to spend initially, PPC is a killer. But then the other option Bum Marketing needs writing skills.

First learn all about PPC. Learn what adwords is all about. Learn about keywords.

Another form of advertising is putting a link in your signature line and join lots of forums and post. That's one way of free advertising.

All the best!

I have spend about a few dollars with adwords. I think Yahoo searching marketing is cheaper. I am with both Adwords and YSM currently. Click rates are more or less similar for me but YSM is less costly.

Where are these sources of coupons coming from? Are these legitimate offers? I also wonder if it possible to have a Google Adwords account even if you don't have a credit card account.
