We haven't talked about this in a while, but a question from a board member about the ROI on Google Ad Words brought this recollection from me from my experience a few years ago:

Quote:
I went through the official Google Ad Words program where they helped me pick search terms (often inane and nonsensical to me) and encouraged me to pay $1 or more per click which exhausted my budget pretty quickly. Results were mixed and rarely thrilling.

However, before I started their consultation and chose my own terminology, I got a $1,000 job off of a 25-cent click through.

Your mileage may definitely vary.


They clearly didn't know the VO business at the time and they often made me wonder whose bottom line they were most interested in.

Anybody had (having) a truly rewarding experience with Ad Words?

I joined it just yesterday and was about to ask the same questions, Bruce! I'm curious if it helped anyone here...

My experience has been all over the board. I've never LOST money, but it wasn't always the greatest ROI. I doubt I'll personally keep it going. There seems to be better places to throw money.
