Very recently I had been considering 2 different ad networks to see exactly what it was all about. One of those ad networks is Google Adwords and although I’ve read many articles about Adwords I’d never used any myself. So I thought it was a good time to jump in and try it out.

First off I’ve created one campaign for one blog. I used Google’s Keyword tool to help me with choosing a bunch of relevant keywords that were directly related to the blog’s topic.

After choosing numerous keywords, I found the steps to actually getting the ad campaign going were quite easy. I won’t go in detail about the steps to create an adwords campaign but will just say that it was very straight forward.

So far my ad has just been running for a couple of days and I’m just starting to look at the reports generated. I’ve found many of Google’s tools have become very valuable in different ways. Adwords seems like another one of those valued tools. Although I’m very new to Adwords I find the reports generated are pretty good.

My ad is simply a text based but I’m tempted to try a visual banner ad…

I also found this video that shows how you can use their templates. This video makes me want to try it out! Enjoy.
