AdWords Myths – Common Mis-Perceptions About Keywords
When it comes to getting advice on Google AdWords, you can’t get any better than a post from Google themselves. This is the second post by Google dispelling some of the common myths about running AdWords. The simple fact is, most businesses can benefit from AdWords if it’s run properly. Unfortunately, most business owners out there lack the experience and skills to use this complicated program. This results in a plethora of urban myths about the system. Google does a great job of clearing up some of these fallacies. My suggestion? Hire a professional to do what they do best while you focus on what you do best!

Without access to their budgets, campaigns, analytics, product margins and other important pieces of information you’re never going to be able to truly know whether that top spot is actually doing anything for them. Focus on your own side of the fence and you’ll waste less time and get better results in the long run!
