I everyone,

I have a community based website, which gives general information about Japan. It has a forum, photo glallery, directory, some free Japanese lessons, and a small shopping area.

How would my website benifit from adwords or would it at all?

It generates money only through adsene. So I feel using adwords would end up costing me money?

Any answers would be helpful.

Unless you are selling something it's very hard to actually make money by using adwords to get visitors.

I would say only adwords would not benefit and you should be having some free traffic like WMT. It uses adwords also.

you can make benefit from adwords . it depents on what you are expecting from adwords . you must ask this question to yourself

for some websites benefit means traffic, but for others benefit means only money.

well it all depends what your goal is. are you only looking for adsense profits? are you looking to build traffic and a user base for the site. If you plan on building a user based I would recommend using adwords because you also have adsense to help off set ppc spending. you need to be careful because you good cause more harm than good with adwords if you do not monitor your campaign closely.

yes, you get traffic. Its more efficient and $$ profitable for ecmorce sites.
