is it cost effective

Have you ever used PPC advertising? If so I am wondering about your experiences. Did you find that your earnings increased and did it flow well with the amount of money you invested?

No not till now. But i am intending to use it now for my latest site. Till now gathering some info about them. Planning to use adwords but came to know that they now dont give the $50 new signup free adv credits. Any ways would be using them soon and coment on this after it

How about obeus there. Youy mean you use them as advertisers. Can you put some light on them. How about they work and how to advertise with them. Is it cost effective.

I would say it can be worth it if you have a higher rate of return than the amount of money you spend. It is probably something you have to consider very closely to decide if you should continue using PPC methods.

Nope. I never use it as well and there's no guarantee that the investment will have a handsome payback unless you have product to offer and you could make a return on it. I can see that only major or big companies use that but to certain extent smaller website also use it but very less.

I have never used pay per click advertising myself, however my friend has done in the past.

One day we decided to help him pay off his student debts by sending e-mails around the different universities we attended asking students to click on the advertisments on his website.

Many, many students did and for a wide range of reasons. It didnt make him a millionaire and it didnt pay off his debts but it helped and the good thing is the company never picked up on the scam.

I'm not reccommending anyone does this, I just saying that it does go on.

Not only some like your friend but there would be lot people who would be doing that. May be the scam wasant detected but one day or the other its gonna come to light and if it comes to light before getting paid off then eventually he'll be landing loosing all his cash.

Also the one which he did earn wiothout scamming. So its better always being on a safer side.

Geee...Would that be ok? I mean you all just click as part of giving support to the guy. If google found out they can find a reason to ban you because it's against their terms and conditioning of advertising whereby you don't click unless you are interested in the ads.

Its because the minimum payout are 1 dollar. I don't think its too hard. But todays, 1 click only give me 1-4 cent only. Its not big. But at least, i know they really paying his member. I'm not earn big. But i like Obeus. I also already run 2 ads by using their advertiser account. Still not get good result..
