    Thank you. Very clearly explained. I am planning to enter into the world of blogging. My website will be more of information and articles rather than any products to sell. Can ad words be of my help?

    I mean can ad words attract traffic who is just looking for information…??

      Hi Sankari

      Yes it can. You can use adwords to get traffic but you need to take into account 2 things:

      1. It will cost you to get traffic and if you dont’ have a way to monetize the traffic i.e. sale a product or service, then it won’t help you as you will be losing money.
      2. If you are thinking into getting traffic from adwords and have adsense on the site so that visitors can click on the ads, forget about this since your landing pages (that’s the page the visitor will see when they click the adwords ad) should not have any adsense ads on it.

      Hope this helps

    Hi Alex, although your post on AdWords v AdSense is several months old, I greatly appreciate you time in covering the basics and making the distinction between the two Google ad products. Can you recommend a self-paced course to earn the varios certifications or designations in these Google programs? Thank you again!

    I have a way to monetize traffic but the problem i have no experience in setting up an adword campaign or for that matter setup a landing page and do the technical work. I tried hiring freelancers but unfrotunately since I am not savvy in this i ended up receiving bad quality or unfinished work

    So I have a client who wants to pay for adwords and such, however he is signed up with adsense and has ads all on his website…

    I personally dont see the point to spend when someone clicks rather than the opposite..?
    Am I just a little confused on this whole thing or does my concern make sense..?

    My client is just trying to get people to his site.. I urged him to get an SEO to be put on all the top major search engines….

    Idk…

    • Alex Chris says

      Hi Feather

      If he has adsense on his website then it’s better not to use Google Adwords.

      SEO is the best way to go to get traffic to a website with Adsense ads.

      Hope this helps
      Alex
