Google Adwords is a PPC advertising form which is one of the most widely used tools in online marketing, and for good reason. With PPC advertising you can, with relatively few funds, get great ROI on your marketing activities as you first pay for your marketing when a potential customer clicks on your ad.
So, for example, if you pay $0.50 USD per click, and a customer clicks on your ad and eventually buys an item worth USD $50, then the arithmetic is quite simple, in that you have a net profit of USD $49.5 – before the cost of your product and other expenses of course.
But it was that easy, everyone would be successful in advertising online. It usually takes many clicks in order to get just a single sale, so you might have to pay for 20 people clicking on your ad for 50 cents each, before one person will order a $50 product. That means the margins are where the money is made, and where you should focus on improving.
There are also many things that can be useful to know before you throw yourself over Google Adwords, but as always with areas where you have a limited expertise, you should always consider consulting professionals, as they can sometimes save you money on the mistakes you would otherwise make.
