This is a misconception of ad agencies and clients who have done more media placement than pay per click. In media placement, you place your ad somewhere for a set fee, and that’s it. We can make analogies between that and pay per click, but it’s not the same.

Great list! I feel like I spend a good amount of time convincing people that #4 is, indeed, a myth. Yes, AdWords is a business, and a hugely successful one at that. As you said, if you know what you’re doing, there are plenty of opportunities to share in that success.

Unbelievably, I still pick up clients who are spending more than they make on PPC.

@carps at least you know you have work to do there :-) but also clearly some education- the real fun is with the savvier clients who already are doing well in biz overall- they have the money to spend and the savvy to let you do your expert work to make them more money.

Thanks Nishu.It’s so easy to forget how simple Adwords looks but how much detail you need to understand to be truly successful. Nice summary, and i’m sure many will find a useful reminder.
