Adwords

• Adwords is a way to advertise on Google

• Adwords was a revolution (and not invented by Google)– Pay per click, not per impression

– Context-sensitive

• It is the most targeted, cost-effective advertising medium there is– Only people who are looking for your product will see you

– You only pay if they’re interested enough to come to your site

• Any flaws?– Limited volume, non-interruptive
