Hi csmith,

That's a tough question... there are a lot of basics...

What is beautiful about the opportunity is with the right guidance, someone with little knowledge of the internet can get started and with focused effort find profit... and they don't have to spend thousands like you do if you would buy into another business. Do you know how many businesses don't see profit in the first 1, 2 or 3 years?

The Adwords Business... love it.

But one thread is not enough room to learn the basics, methods and strategies you need to succeed...

Yeah.. IMO, Google adwords ads program sounds easier than it really is in the Internet Marketing.
I think you have so much of competition for the same keywords bidding and selling the same products. It might be direct to the average CPC that is much closer to the Break even point. To find a niche market that have high gross profit margin product and profitable keywords is a great job and time spent for it will be worth.

Hye cowsgonemadd3.
I'm working as an affiliate and I make $3200 and more on a weekly basis. I can tell you it works!!!!
I found a company that have a good traffic, and you can make money when your sleeping if you want more info you can contact me. Its not a scame at all, It works.
I dont care to share there is money for everyone!!
I'm looking for more tips of how to do more, hahahaha.

Adwords is a necessity if you want to make money on content websites! Don't give it a try- just do it!

If you put affiliate links in Adwords campaigns, you are losing money!

A better way is to set up a landing page related to your affiliate program with a form to collect emails and build a list. This way you can contact your leads anytime later and profit from them. But before that you should provide them with what they want - useful information and build trust.

So is this like an ad click program? Where and how do you get paid from ad works?

I tried google Adwords and you do earn money...however you need to know how to invest...it is not that easy as it looks...

You can definitely make money with adwords. I've made money with both methods of sending clickers to a landing page or directly to the affiliates' sales page.

It's like anything else, the more you do it, the better you get.

I handle various adword accounts for law firms and in many cases I have been able to triple the amount of cases they get via adwords. I have clients that have anywhere from $5 a day to $500 a day Adword budgets, depending on their type of practice.... So far Adwords has driven my business and attracted interest from clients who otherwise would not see any benefit of having custom web design.

My understanding is that Google has algorithms in place to detect unique IPs and although you will see the click, supposedly you don't pay.

Can anyone confirm this to be true ? I've seen my unique visitor % down to 5% or less and I figured I was still paying for the click, would be nice to know for sure without pulling my hosting logs...
