Hi all,
Cliff's notes: Have you used an Adwords/PPC Consultant? Good/Bad experiences? Advice?
Background: I'm very much new to all this stuff, SEO, Adwords, affiliate stuff, etc.
Me and my biz partner have a strong technical background in programming/database stuff. We have our site to a point where we're satisfied. We're an affiliate site for women's fashion.
Now that the site is satisfactory, we need to advertise and get people to our site. Naturally we decided to start with adwords so we bought a couple books to learn the basics.
We have an acccount going with maybe 25 adwords doing a long-tail approach. We're getting crap for impressions and clicks. I feel we need a more professional opinion as we're tech guys not advertisers. We're willing to front-load some cash to make this happen.
Have you had any experience with an Adwords Consultant? Do you have any recommendations? I've found some on by just searching around who charge about $300 to get you started up. Since we're doing long-tail adwords on hundreds of products, would this be worth it or are the adwords consultants typically best suited for very focused niche markets?
Thanks for any advice.
