hahahah  Ok..you know it's really cool when you are on this site, posting, and look up...and there is YOUR ad in the Ads by GOOGLE!  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Its the ad at the top right.  :)

If you all are not using Google adwords, Analytics, etc...  You are really missing out.  I have had over 2800 impressions of my little ad shown in the last 8 days.  I have had 18 clicks to my web site.. and got 1 job from it.  The google site tracks what words brought up your ad (you choose them) and well....it is just too intense to try an explain.  And analytics will show you eveyrthing you ever wanted to know about your site and traffic on your site.  how long they are there, pages they go into, pages they leave from, countries and places they come from, referal sites, search engines, words used to get there on search engines, and on and on and on.....   

Note, that one job from google ads cost me 87 cents.  It is a bi-weekly job that  is 145.00/per visit.  needless to say...I am HAPPY!!!!!!!

Was that 87 cents for the one click or 87 cents for the entire 18 clicks?  If it is per click (my understanding of PPC) then you actually spent $15.66 for that one click that turned into a job at the rate of 87 cents per click.  If you paid 87 cents for all 18 clicks then I want to know what keywords you are using that cost so little and work so well.  Some of my keywords are quite pricey!

That's still good for advertising costs, regardless...  :)

 There is the current stats minus the stuff at the bottom, totals, and such...  Pricing per click is based on the ads 'bid' placement.  Very interesting thing on how it works...  Your ad 'bids' for a space on a given search or partner site (this site here is a partner site, in case you wondered) and based on the placement of the ad (what page it shows on, what position on that page, etc...) determines the price.  It may show and based on placement and the price bid cost 0.02 cents for a click...and it may cost 1.95 per click.  As the month goes on, and your budget (you set how much you will spend per month on the ads..and it bids the placements based on that allowence) is not used or used...the bids get better or worse...  IE, if you have 90% of your budget left with 5 days left, it will start bidding the ad for front page top locations...  if you have 20 days left, and only 5 bucks left in your budget, you will be waaaay down the list on the bids.  Very cool..and I am very happy with it so far. 

Looks like an excellent ROI to me. The longer you can keep that customer, the better ROI you will get. Not bad, not bad at all! :)
