has anyone actually advertised through google before. I would like to hear if it actually worked for you or is still working for you. I have heard so many conflicting stories that I am not sure how it is. Does it only work with certain types of sites?

What kind of website/product are you attempting to promote?

Well, it is not mine but is an airsoft gun shop. I am not sure as I have heard many things, but do not want this person to pay for advertising if there is a large chance that it will not work. You know.

I will have Tanya come visit this thread as she has the responsibility of taking care of our paid advertising. I know we have used paid spots at Google in the past for certain keywords that we were unable to dominate on our own. I am not sure that the results have been all that great, however, the keywords we were buying are a lot more competitive than say airsoft guns which only have 1.5 million results.

A problem you face with paid ads is that you will find people clicking them just to click them, and costing you money with each click.

I could spam Digital Boards again, but if you are interested in knowing how we can help your friend, please feel free to PM me.
