Top Marketing with Google Adwords ?

I am about to launch a new web page and I want to expand my wedding photography business this next year. So I am looking at marketing and was wondering if anyone here has been using Googles adword program and if you would be willing to share your thoughts about it. I would appreciate any and all thoughts on the subject.

Hey,
I have a channel on youtube that does pretty good so I applied for the addwords or adsense I think is what it's called. I've tried setting it up but I don't know html so I have run into a road block.... I to would love to hear opinions on this and maybe even tips to make it better

I am one of those fancy pants TI people so please feel free to pm with any questions, or ideas, or complaints, or recipes, or to tell me how wonderful I am, you know anything. I'm here for ya.

I use Google adwords.

I have a set limit of 50.00 a month and make that back + more every month so it does quite well by me.

I had thought that people like myself hate paid for advertising but there is a whole segment of clients that LOVE ads, they think if you have enough money to buy advertising  you must be cool....

Even if people don't click they still SEE your ad and every time someone even sees it it get shuffled into the brain and the more places they see you it just makes them think about you. The more places they see you they are more likely to call.

On what sites do you make adwords buys? Do you have a choice of where they are placed? I've thought about it but can't figure out where to put them.

I tried it last spring, and for what I was doing it didn't help all that much. The same goes for some other advertising I did though a local site - just didn't pay off and I didn't get as many hits as I thought. No big deal, this is why you try new things and get results.

If I were to do it again I'd offer some kind of discount right on the ad, and then have it follow though to a adwords landing page on your site which would detail the special offer the person is getting.

Also, I wasn't going after wedding photography or family photography that may be easier with ad words.

I have it set up so I have no choice where they are placed.
I let them do all the hard work.

I have a chart somewhere it tells me what sites they are placed on and what the click through rates are. I never read it.. lol

I just keep mild track of keywords that are hit and conversions vs impressions.
I try to ask clients where they find me but they never know they just type in stuff find my site and give me a call.

But in the grand scheme of things I am happy with the money I spend there about 50.00 a month.
