Post by: Crystal-clear on January 01, 2011, 04:26:40 pm

i have only ever door knocked and leaflet droped

Does Google add words/yell.com work? if i were to spend decent amount of money on them ofc.

if i was spending £200 a month i would be happy to say get 1 call or enquiry a day or 20+ a month is this realistic? or should i just stick to door knocking?

Crystal, 110 000 feels not right. It does local area which is 30 mile radius. They will tell you anything to get you onto pay per click.  110k feels national not local.

More like 110 are you sure your reading it right as it will give you results for areas regardless of what its for.

Are you writing your town/city in after window cleaner?
My results are 46

I don't think they are!

46 a day sounds about right I reckon..

But then you need to consider how many people will click your advert.. there are some statistics somewhere that give an average percentage. I'll try and find them at some point.

You only pay when someone clicks mind
