Title: Adwords
Post by: Jamie Pearson on October 01, 2012, 08:04:15 pm: Been asked by a customer to take a look at his Adwords campaign for him.

I use Adwords with good success for our floor restoration services but not carpet cleaning.

What does everyone pay per click on average?

Post by: Warren Aldridge on October 02, 2012, 08:36:25 am: As much as it takes. It's a bidding system so if its competitive around your parts you could be paying £5+ per click. Could be a matter of pence, all depends on what your competitors are bidding.

Post by: Allan Simmons on October 02, 2012, 09:27:20 am: Varies massively Jamie, some long tail keywords are as little as 25p, others for the popular ones up to £1.80ish, but as you probably know, the quality score and relevance plays a massive part in the amount you actually pay v's what you bid. The bid will get you up there, but the quality score and relevance will mean you wont pay that full amount.

when they asked me to clean their carpets.

I told them to hire a Rug Doctor and read this http://amzn.to/PsDesS
