I don't understand the "1 click a day limit." Why would you limit your clicks to just one? Isn't the idea to get lots of clicks?

I'm wanting to do a practice run so that I can get a feel for how Adwords works. Then I'll be able to make a bigger investment.

You won't see how it works if you limit it to one click.
Limit it to a dollar amount, instead.

Ahhh. I see.
What I'm concerned about is signing up for an Adword account before I have an idea of what the process is.
I would set an account up right now but I'm lacking the confidence to do so.
Can you tell me, If I set up an account and then things start going pear shaped, can I just cancel the account straight away?
I suppose what I'm asking is; How can I test Adwords without getting into financial problems and penalties.
Sorry to be a pain in the butt.
Thanks Jill.

Hi Steve,
for a conservative approach, set up a couple related phrases in one ad group with each of the phrases [in brackets]. This will cause those terms to only show when that exact phrase is used. Then set up a couple ads within that ad group so you can get a feel for what causes ads to have high click through rates.
And as Jill pointed out, just set a daily ad spend limit to cap your expenses.
BTW, you can pause or delete campaigns and ad groups at any time.

Thanks Haystack,
I feel that I can give it a go now without getting into any trouble I can't handle.
Once again thanks for evertbodys help on this. As I learn about Adword I'll pass on the knowledge here when needed.

Could it truly be this simply?
Well I know you can put a daily spend limit on Google. Therefore if you set that to the price it would cost to get a good placing for your keyword/s then yes.
Back to the original argument, surely the ad is trying to attract Private Schools to buy furniture rather than people who send their children to private school.

Jill - you searched on "private school transportation Massachusetts" and suppose I'm a manufacturer of school furniture, bidding on keyword "school", so you get my ad..

Is there anything wrong with that. I've been making school desks for 150 years, and now I'm on Google. Hey, you don't want to buy my desks ;-)
