if you wrote this post 5 years ago, then yes, it would be worth a try. right now though adwords has a lot of competition. you also need to learn how to create and manage caompaigns. so i would say "no" to the beginniner. i mean, you would have to create keyword lists and all that.

don't get me wrong, you can drive a lot of traffic using adwords, but you would have to know how to write your ads for buyers and not people who are just looking around since each click costs money.

i am not really going to go in to how adwords work, but i would say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it isn't for you, faten. not right now. you would most likely just waste your money which is very easy to do with adwords.

if you are curious about it, you could search for some free adwords credits that float around if you know where to look, and set up your account to stop advertising after your credit has reached it's limit. do you have a credit card? beause i don't believe adwords will let you sign up without one.

hey anwiii, i remembered your words when i received more offers from google adsense. till now i received two by mail and two by email!! it looks like things as you said, google now has many competitors and try to stand strong again. if not then why he is offering many like this?? it doesn't make sense right??

The success of Adsense really depends on how well it's implemented though. You get almost nothing if people aren't clicking, and most people ignore ads, so they have to be implemented with your site well enough to gain their attention and warrant clicks. This is an issue I've been having lately,

I would say try to maximize the gift card as much as you can. Google adwords can be very good if you have tested your marketing funnel. If your site can convert profitably then I would go from a PPC model to a CPM model where your profits will get even better.

Adwords is not the place to start testing your funnel for optimization as clicks can now be very expensive depending on the market you are in.
