I used it for our fall overseeding advertisment. It worked alright. I'm all for the client finding you not me looking for them as much.

I dont think I would use it for consistent long term advertisment. Just guerrilla marketing durning peak times i.e. spring clean ups, overseeding, etc.

There have been a bunch of posts about adwords on here if you'd like to do a quick search for them.

If you experiment with using it, let us know your review of it.

adwords can work really well if you know what you are doing. You can lose your shirt if you don't do it right though

I use Google adwords. Check what you bid on! "Lawn Care" will cost you about $9.00 per hit. I pay $0.02 per hit for "Organic Lawn Care".

Do you find there are enough people searching out organic lawn care to make it a worthwhile term over lawn care?
