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.

There are lots of different sources for coupon codes. The most common is from domain hosting services like GoDaddy.

the Benefits of Google AdWords is the following
* No minimum buy
* Easy and fast creation
* Almost immediate implementation
* Pay only for clicks
* Bid for placement
* Set maximum cost per day
* Stop or pause campaign at any time
so why not give it a shoot !

one more reason that i love the googel adwords is Because Google AdWords are so quick and easy to buy, they allow you to test, change, and adjust them as much as you want. Aside from the primary purpose of driving traffic to a website, Google AdWords can be a fast and inexpensive way of testing messages, offers, and positioning to be used in other advertising mediums.

If you dont anything about Google Adwords, you definitely should work with a qualified Google Adwords consulting company or professional.

It depends really on whether you're prepared to set aside the time to learn.

It's like anything in life - you won't get the best results unless you put in plenty of effort.

These look like great idea, but as stated above its a very long learning curve to do on your own. But if you have the time to study.. anyone can do it even a cavewoman.
I came across this hobbyist offering free help... its a great idea, and he even offers to have an experienced adwords person check his qualifications. Sounds like a good way to get some free hand holding...
Claims to specialize in Real Estate, but says he is willing to offer help in other campaign areas. How can you go wrong as you never give up any money.....
Just google "20,000 Real Estate keyphrase Adword Account Free." to check this out.

If your website is new less than 6 months then there's no point going in for adsense but if it is older you might give it a try .
