how are you seen more though? surely its still the same process of doing it yourself? i thought it was more for people you don't know how to optimise thier site? i tried it for a little while on an old site, but limited to a certain amount of clicks per day. wasn't successful for me, not nothing i couldn't of done myself anyways

As an example...

My keywords included: window cleaner farnham

So... Someone types into google: window cleaner in farnham

They then see my ad which said: Window Cleaning in Farnham, Surrey blah blah blah

My ad is exactly what they were looking for!

Andy

you can do that on your own anyways though, so why pay someone?

like you say it is a quick fix, its something that you can do yourself plus i find having yoursite on the right hand side of the search page isn't the first place i look, i always look at the main search results on the left hand side

Me too, I just look at the real results pages myself, It does work, but I choose not to click on the paid listings

Something will work for one and not for another, why I dont know but thats just the way it seems to be.

If it works for you it is well worth it, and the return you got is great for the outlay.  ;)

In my opinion it stands out too much, ruining the overall look of the card. Kinda difficult to explain, just my opinion like I said.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Nat - Good idea about printing the services we offer on the back of the card - I think I'll do that! :)

With regards to Google etc... I do need to re-word my website with more specific keywords etc... As in the long run I will be higher in the standard search listings... However with Google adwords you can have people finding your site straight away - It's a quick fix.


where are you going to get the cards printed from andy?
You then use a list of keywords tagetting the services you offer and the locations you offer them in.

I can see where your coming from but i don't think it would look much different with or without the letters
