There are, or were, 200 RON vouchers for displaying your website in the first results. For those who don’t know, Google Adwords is a program or service designed to promote websites in the first results.
I said it’s a shame not to promote myself since 200 RON is not to be left, and it’s free. No soup comes for free. So after about 3 months I find myself having to pay 198 lei, which should have been deducted from the voucher, because that’s how it was said, that it’s free.
From this lesson I had to learn two things, how can I make money using the method either you spend the entire voucher and don’t pay, or you pay everything. At first you are not told, you are not informed, you have to infer. Probably writing it in the privacy policy, but who sits down to read a 300-page policy, or even if someone reads it, they keep it to themselves because any intellectual effort must be paid for, and if the person is not paid, they keep it to themselves.
So I also received summonses by mail from the recovery companies. If I don’t pay blah blah blah. I paid on principle, because I don’t like to stay in debt. Although it was out of reach to be searched by the recovery workers, who anyway had nothing to take from me, except the oxen from the bicycle.
Although it is said that it is not good to give advice to those who do not ask, I would recommend you stop using Google AdWords, because you are throwing your money out the window. Traffic also comes from Bing, Yandex or other search engines, there are probably more but I don’t know them. I’m not saying to ditch Google as your main search engine, but the thing is, it’s not the only search engine. And you can get website traffic from well written articles. Review mine, how I wrote them, in what manner, because they bring organic traffic. Too few people come to me from referrals or from social networks.
The point is don’t throw your money out the window on AdWords like I did. I see many who write on the sites that they have no traffic. Okay, but then write something that excites people if you don’t have traffic, don’t write banalities, or at least write a useful article that can be useful to more people. When I say benefits, I’m primarily referring to money, that is, to be able to somehow put money in the reader’s pocket, through what you write, through your knowledge.
Or if he can’t put money in, at least not take it out. You can write recipes or make yourself useful with your knowledge, of various kinds. I saw that there is a blog of a teacher who is in high demand and is the most read blog in Romania, and which dethrones even the big bloggers in terms of number of visitors and not because it offers can-can, sensational, or who knows what cursing that pleases the audience, but provides useful information to pass exams with flying colors, do homework, educates, or explains in a meaningful way to the student from various backgrounds, how is the matter with mathematics, because he is a teacher of mathematics, the name escapes me now.
So Google AdWords is not a useful thing to promote with. The best promotion is to write well and regularly, as best you can. Discover for yourself the recipe for good writing. Because for each good it means something else.
