When you first start to promote your company's website, you can have a third party set up your ad words campaign. It's very easy and hassle free to begin with, but you may overlook the fact that it could cost substantially more.

Since you have no direct access to pay per click campaign when you are using a third party, it can result in up charges and additional fees. You HAVE to have access to your AdWords Campaign if you want to make sure that you are not overpaying. This can easily be accomplished by using Google AdWords.

One of our new clients recently took over her own AdWords Campaign and saved about 75% per click. Originally she was paying an average of $5 per click and now, since she has taken control of her own Google AdWords campaign, she is only paying an average of 88¢.

It is still okay, and recommended, to use a pay per click consultant or a company that has experience with Google AdWords campaigns, but make sure you have direct access to your campaign so you are not overpaying!
