I have a AdWords campaign running. Am I eligable? I have $100 coupons coming in from my internet provider (Host Gator) all the time but can't use them because I have an existing account.

 I Think so, because Cody is a Google Certified Ad Words Guy. It will not hurt to ask, and Cody may be able to save  you additional money besides the 100 dollars on your account. I thought I was a good shopper, until I got smart to travel agents. Their fee is paid, and most of the time, they are able to save me additional money.

I would like it if Cody could reply to my thoughts here:

New scenario for you:

Most businesses target big cities. What experience do you have with targeting a group or even 1 small town?

For instance, I target Englewood,Fl 10,000 population

Rotonda,Fl 7,000 Population

Venice,Fl 20,000 population

Port Charlotte, Florida 47,000 in my generic ads.

How would the cost etc work outfor one of these or all of these.

I have absolutely no clue, when it comes to this stuff, so please explain it like you would to "A IDIOT"

I don't want to get involved in something that will run me $100.00 a month on up and perhaps not produce a high enough return monthly, to make it worth it.

Lastly, In the winter, I have more work than I can get done. Can adwords be run just June thru Sept???

Also, is that what all those top 3 ads are on Google? all adwords ads?

I love the Adwords, I almost instantly get requests after starting the campaign. I will give him a call, who doesn't love free adwords. Your SEO is so dominate. I don't know much about SEO but I think its all about unique visitors and how much time they spend on your website.

---

 Yeah, what the hell, might as well get some free ad words ?  Cody makes his money off Google, not you. It is kind of like a how a travel agent works, the airlines and hotels pay his fee.

Good Morning Apple Sauce Engineers !
I hope things are going good for everyone today, working hard, cleaning roofs ect. It dosen't snow up north in Indiana until Janurary usually. Will the soft wash " Winter Blend" work until then? Still doing my research !

---

 I suggest you consider joining the forum, but the answer is yes it will. As the temperature drops, it just takes a bit longer for the solution to clean.

C'mon guys. You really think this guy is here to be a part of what we do? He's part of that wash-safe crap. I don't care if he hangs around, but geez guys.

 Really? How can you tell? If he is, we should ignore him.

I can target a small town, a congressional district, a county, a group of counties, different towns in different areas, zip codes, you name it. One of the best features about AdWords is that I can target anything you would like. This also applies to mobile phone and tablet users. This is powerful for making sure your ads are displayed in your demographic and allows highly targeted placement on both mobile and PC campaigns. I currently have a couple of clients targeting small towns such as a real estate agent targeting small towns in Arizona as well as a windshield repair company targeting small cities around the Tampa Bay area. It doesn't matter the size of the town (population wise), it can still be targeted exclusively or in a group - your choice.

As far as cost, that depends on your alotted budget. Before we begin a campaign, we set up a target budget for the month. I usually tell my clients to start small with a budget of anywhere from $200 - $500 per month and then I adjust the budget on a daily basis, based on that number. A typical budget set up like this will run about $10 - $20 per day. There's also no set contracts of any sort with AdWords so we can adjust the budget at any time without restriction. If you want to increase it on the weekdays and lower it on the weekends, no problem. We are very flexible.

If you are worried about spending money without seeing results, that's not a problem - I can help you with that. I will give you comprehensive analysis and reports of your campaigns on a weekly basis so you won't be left in the dark and hit with a bill all of a sudden. This helps so you can see progress and maintain your budget. Also, I keep a close eye on the account as search trends, traffic values and keyword prices change every day. By keeping my eye on these reports, I can see what people are doing, searching for and where they are going. Then I can adjust your campaign, ads and keywords to target them. I will bring you business, I guarantee it.

Google AdWords can be run whenever you want, whether it be June through September or August 1 - 18 and then Sept 3 - 25 - there are no restrictions whatsoever. The campaign is totally flexible. We can even set it to start at noon one day and end at 9pm and then start at 6am and stop at midnight. We can basically run the campaign any time you want it to. This is helpful for budgeting as well as increasing effectiveness on days that have proven busier than others. If you have a sale going on, increasing your ad spend for the day (budget) can help get the word out and bring in more customers on just that day.

Lastly, yes, those top 3 ads you see in Google search results are AdWords ads (aka sponsored ads, aka paid search ads). Also, the ads along the right side of the search results page are AdWords too. AND, if you choose, the ads embedded in certain websites* are Google AdWords ads too (*not to be mistaken with AdSense ads but these are controlled ads placed in Google partners - YouTube, Rent.com, + over 80 others).

Hope that answers it!

Thanks,

Cody

Good clear answer!
The only thing that holds me back is, I have never come close to spending $200.00 - $500.00 a month on advertising. Most everything I do now is free or $200.00 a year!
I am the kind of person who really like to test drive a car a few times before I buy it.
Is it possible-and would it be cheap to try- to just do adwords for Tuesday and Wed from 7am to 7pm EST?
If so, and if it's cheap enough to get me trying it, what would the total cost be to try that for 30 days?
You can PM me if you wish?
Thanks,
Chuck

 Well you choose how much you want to spend really so it is up to you. Google doesn't bill you until you reach $200 or 30 days, whichever comes first. There's no setup fee and no hidden charges. It's free advertising (because your ads show all over the place) but you pay for clicks. We could set it up for 7am - 7pm EST and see what happens. I would say we could set the budget for the day at $10 or $20 just to see?
