Why Google AdWords Spells Success for Sites One of the best mediums for advertising on the Internet nowadays is Google AdWords. Ranked as the leader when it comes to the different search engines as well as the advertisements they placed, it certainly becomes the engine which gives you a higher chance of having your ad clicked by the advertisers. 5

6 These advertisers usually pay you around one dollar every time you get a click on the competitive keywords. But of course, paying just more money will definitely not be a guarantee that your advertisement gets to be displayed on top. Using Google will mean having more preferences to the ads that have been clicked the most compared to the ads with the highest payments. One easy way to visualize this is through the equation wherein twenty clicks on the first ad (at one dollar per click) is greater than two clicks on a second ad (being that the second ad has a rate of two dollars per click). Here, you can surmise that the first ad is a lot more successful than the second ad and thus you will have given Google more profit coming from the one dollar ad that you have. And so, this simply means that the importance of the kinds of advertisements that are placed here are very effective indeed and that people really are lured in clicking it. So make sure that the Google AdWords that you have are very well written, creatively constructed and highly attractive for it to be clicked on. When it is like that, you are well on your way to bigger revenues.
