Cool Is Google ad good or bad for the website/ Blog?

I will ask is Google ads good or bad for the website / Blog?

When I come to a website, it is to get informations´, not to read ads. We might see ads for products that we dont like and asociate it with the website / blog.

Do we need to make money out of every thing, I dont know how much you can earn on Google ads?

The last questions are:

Have you tried to use adwords?

Have you get serius contacts out of using Adwords?

One of the reasons for my last question is, I have never talked or met a person who have benifit from adwords, and then i think is Google the only one who earn on Adwords?

Thank you.

I know of tons of real businesses making lots of money on their products and services via advertising with Google AdWords.

ofcourse people earn from it, otherwise it wouldn't be as popular as it is currently.

He had a good question though. Do we have any business who've taken out ad placements with ad sense and gotten good leads or sales from it? I assume yes, but it would be good to hear from someone.

I'm assuming you mean AdWords, but yes, I have dealt with a couple of hundred clients and the vast majority of them find AdWords to be successful. as long as you track the clicks to the conversion (a lead or a sale) through some analytics software, you can establish a cost per conversion and manage your ad campaigns to ensure that you are getting a return on your investment.

It's definitely worth a test for any business, but it takes experience to properly build out a campaign and it could take a while to 'optimize it' to ensure that you are targeting the phrases that have the highest conversions at the lowest cost.

On a side note, many businesses throw lots of money at advertising without knowing what they are willing and able to spend to acquire a lead or a sale. They just haphazardly throw money around and hope it will bring in business. Or, they know they are getting business from a source but don't track it properly to see if they are getting enough business from that source to ensure ROI.

The beauty of pay-per-click, if executed and managed properly, is it allows you to track and quantify an exact amount (down to the penny) of what your cost per conversion is. I don't know of any other advertising mediums that offer that level of sophistication...
