I used it when we were still trying to grow fast.  Yes, definitely worth it but, like anything, you need to consider exactly what you're doing.

Start with a low weekly budget and see how much you spend and what the effect is.  Ask every single customer who phones where they heard about you so you can see how many leads you get.  Keep accurate records of cost per customer.

It was the cheapest customer generation method we used in 2011/12, by far.  Like anything, to make a success of it, you do have to work at it.

Im using it at the min, gonna let it run for the year. Have it a couple of months now and got  couple of jobs out of it so far, but hoping to get more coming into spring. Was £99 to set up and £20 per month after. The company im using is search engine easy. They said its £20 per month per search phrase you want to use but mine is coming up under serveral,but just think they were trying to get more money out of me

You only pay when people click on your advert - and people only see your ad when they search for the terms you select. £20 per month for one phrase (or variation thereof) is expensive - and inefficient if you offer several services(gutter cleans, window cleans etc)

Not if they have the brains to put a daily limit on the amount spent

Google aren't quite as daft as you then.  Doesn't cost the advertiser at all.  Do you really think Google's computers can't tell what you're doing?

You must be very proud of yourself, though.  Well done.

It's highely unlikely that they'll be charged, and if they are it would be refunded within a few days. Google's system is actually quite good at picking up 'invalid clicks'. Complete waste of time doing it, and I think if this is what you spend your time doing, you've got more important problems than your competitors internet advertising, although I do think (hope) you are trolling for a response

Cowboy - if you want to know about Adwords, drop me an e-mail and I'll explain how it works if you like, see if it's any good for you. Info@PageCrest.co.uk

i use adwords all the time, averages that i get 10 x's worth of work to what it costs me.

BUT, pay someone who knows about it to set it up for you. Fella who does my sites set mine up, one off fee £75 i think it was, best money i ever spent!!!

we used to use it and it was costing £200+ a month. mostly calls from web designers, seo people, salesmen.
had a free £75 voucher last summer, it got used up in a week.

Yours is not set up right. I have tried to tell you before.

[Alex Wingrove]

In your opinion its not set up right,

But I'm quite happy with the £2205.00 that I picked up this month of which £225.00 is every 6 weeks. But if you know how I can improve that please let me know

Hi Alex.  Not been party to previous discussions about your Adwords.  It sounds fine though. I usually aim for a 1000% return but often get nearer 1200-1400%. Yours is in the right place mate.

i want to start an adwords campain this year but not really sure how to set up properly is there any good sites or links to read up on it something impartial as i want to do my homework first.
