Pay per Click

You pay per click, regardless of sale or not. AdWords does not tell you who clicked on your ads. While you are paying for clicks, you would like to know if the clicks came in from a prospective customer or your competitor, but there is no way you can check this in Google Adwords. So whoever clicks on your ads, you end up paying.

Competition increases Keyword Costs

In case of high competition on Google Adwords the cost of keywords go up as competitors raise bids to stay on top. If your keyword bid is too low then your ads could be moved to page 2 or 3 of the search results where visibility is low.

Ads stop as soon as budget is exhausted

Unlike organic marketing which stays online forever, Google Adwords stops the moment your budget is spent. You will need to add more money to continue your ads on Google.

Ads Limitations

Google Adwords Ads are restricted by the amount of characters. You can use two 30 character headlines and one large 80 character description and a display URL. It is quite challenging to fill this space with most appealing ad lines.

Keyword Targeting
