Phil,

To my understanding of how AdWords works it is your monthly budget that counts, not the daily budget. 

For example if your daily budget is £1-00 then your monthly budget is £30-00.  If you did not have any clicks for 15 days your budget increases accordingly to you monthly budget.

Regards,

Arthur

Arthur, its a daily budget, this can be changed whenever you want, if you dont get any clicks you dont pay anything.

Martino? Martin?

Yes your right in most cases the work I have had off Google is private clients wanting cleaning services,  but as I said I have had a 20k commercial contract from it, also a fair number of smaller ones, it all depends on how much you set your cost per click at, but if youve paid out £400 per month in the past, you must have had some profitable work from it.

If not youve gone wrong somewhere along the line ;D

i had one job to price up in london, which was small..... and that was it..

i find mailshots and phoning people more effective.... just priced a job for 62k a year and in the process of pricing a 200k a year contract... all through phoneing and information from existin contacts..

i've developed a huge database of facilities managers and company names, addresses ect... this is what works for me at the price of a stamp and a phone call.... i knocked google on the head but am with yell.com

Hi Martin
We market our company very aggressively, we spend on yell.com
yellow pages, mailshots and tellysales.

We have a database of 2000 names that we have built up over the years.
