Is google adwords for real or is it a scam?

Question

I joined google adwords about a weel ago and can't seem to quite figure out how you do it all and there is so much info and then how do you advertise what and what products, do i have to buy products. I want to cancel out if this is a scam and they charged me the $1.95 and did nto give me the trail period time, charged my bank account $39.95. I called the number, but no one ever answers and I waited 30 minutes and hung up my phone. Can anyone tell me if they think this is a scam.

Answer 1

Google's too well know to get away with a scam.

Answer 2

Google AdWords is a true money maker as long as you understand how to create and update ads to attract search engine users.



I have an account but opened it only after reading the book, Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords: How to Access 100 Million People in 10 Minutes, by Perry Marshall and Bryan Todd.



It explains absolutely everything you want to know about the AdWords system, including how to word your ad and how much to charge for clicks. Best of all, the book is super easy to read and understand so you don't waste any more money.



Check your local library for the book before buying it. I'm looking at my library-borrowed copy right now and will also buy the book because it's a money saver and money maker.



Good luck to you,

Put it this way ,i have asked abut 4 people from google if they can prove me that the clicks on my website are genuine .They said that the system can tell me exactly whats happening and I said back to them their system is their system and can be made to cheat easily .

Google is a well oiled machine. They invest millions into finding new ways of separating you from your money. I have used adwords on and off for years. Whatever your daily budget, drop it by 17% because the cost per day will ALWAYS be higher than your specified budget. So if you don t want to invest more than $30 a day, make it $26 or so. You will see, your cost per day will by $34 before the ads stop. Next are malicious clicks. I estimate 65-70% of all click to your ads are not by humans or legitimate potential customers. Web research as confirmed this. So take that into consideration. And don t waste your time complaining to google. They might send you some coupons but it s all a well thought out plan to get you to spend more money. like getting a bag of coins for free while you get on an express bus to Atlantic City... Can it work, yes if you know what you are doing. You basically have to spend lots of money to make lots of money... It s nothing more than a digital mailing campaign. Assume 85% of your post cards go directly into the trash...

Google AdWords is absolutely a scam mixed in with some legitimate clicks. They claim they do not charge for web bot clicks but's it's a complete lie. I've traced IP addresses and there are thousands of bots randomly clicking on Google AdWord links.
