If you have the time to review your accounts performance on a daily basis, do not do automatic bidding.

Competition is very high for website hosting, so what you'll need to do is create a long tail of keywords with the keyword tool.

AdWords can be very bloody, but it is very important at the beginning to get good data on your ads and keywords. Make sure your conversion codes are working too. You'll have a big spend in the beginning because you dont have a good Quality Score. Its a game of patience, and don't go broke! But keep in mind for the first few weeks your cost per acquisition will probably be twice as high as it will be after that.

Your cost per day chart should look something like this at the start. -- - - -- -- --- -- ---- --- -- --- ---- ------



Yes, Competition + Adwords means 2 bloody battles to win. One thing I'll do because of your advice is my own bidding. At least I won't get burned that way - Thanks!

So, you say good data, conversion codes and getting to a good Quality Score is where my game of patience will be tested. I won't go broke and I'll keep the acquisition costs in mind.

Thanks for your feedback!


I made an edit and my text chart got ruined!
