It takes some skill to bid correctly on a keyword. Two factors should be taken into consideration; how much money you can afford and how high your competitors are bidding for a particular keyword. Always remember that popular keywords and use of "Sponsored Links" will result in quite large numbers of wasted leads, as well as sales. Cost of click versus sales profits must be considered. You will need to assess how many clicks it takes to get a sale.

You will need to track how many sales and leads are being attracted by a particular ad. You will need to tweak your ad if it is just bringing clicks with no sales.
