I’m from europe so I use euro’s but no problem. The smallest amount is 0,05 cent per click. Set your daily budget to 2 dollar and you’ll never spend more than 60 dollars a month.

To find your ideal amount per click, you just have to test it. Check your keywords every day and bid more or less per click, per word.

The amount per click depends on the competition, the sector you’re in and how many visitors you get.

Google Adwords are very simple. You’ll find out very quickly.

It would be a stretch, but it is not impossible to get started with pay per click advertising. I would recommend you checkout some affiliate marketing forums, plus also check out google help section on using adwords (google’s PPC) which BTW is #1 for really generate targeted traffic in less than a few hours.

Start in some forum not only because its ‘free’ but for the fact that you will get some great information quickly. All you can learn on forum can be learned with one or more ebooks on the subject.

I have read several, all are good in there own way if I had to pick one I would go with this one featured at http://home-making-money.com/moneypro.html believe there are hundreds more, I pick a lesson know ebook for the simple fact that it is not 1) as hyped up as many other’s and 2) the author is affiliated with google as a google professional.

Also visit http://home-making-money.com to learn more about Day Job Killer which just launched yesterday. This one is really hot, do your research. Good luck

$50 is too low for a budget for pay per click. But it can be done.

I suggest you check out Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords and Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com (though with your budget, I’d rather go with Adwords)

Note though that you cannot pay your way to get top ranking in Google. If you join Adwords, your ad will be shown on the SIDE labeled as Sponsored Links, not on the actual search results. If you use paid inclusion of Yahoo, your $50 will not get you anywhere.

Your strategy should be to look for longer keywords, but more targeted. Do not bid on your main keyword as main keywords typically are expensive with lots of advertisers competing for the top spot. You can easily deplete your $50 in one day.

For example, instead of bidding for "diamond ring" which can go for $0.65 or even higher. Choose keywords such as "1 carat princess cut yellow diamond ring" which is much cheaper — fewer impressions, but targeted traffic and cheaper.

I suggest you look for better ways to get traffic — and not pay for advertising.
