10 Stupid Reasons Why I Use Google Adwords

If you do not know what Google Adwords are, you must be one of those monks living in a cave high up on the Himalayas. Well, maybe it is time I bring you back to online advertising reality and share with you 10 stupid reasons why I still continue to use Google Adwords.

1) Because I want world peace!

Really, why donate money to another organization fighting for world peace and human rights when you can give money to a company whose sole aim is to "Do No Evil"! Any commercial entity that can achieve this is truly worth my money. But recently, I'm not sure anymore after hearing about their team of batmobile's running around collecting my private online data.

2) Because it works?

This is a controversial one. I heard rumors about tons of people becoming near bankrupts after using it. However, I'm sure it must be really effective. If not, why are people willing to bet all their money on it.

3) Because they dare to call me for an interview

I have a soft spot for people who are interested in me. If they are daring enough to call me all the way from the USA to give me a chance to join them, then giving some money back to them isn't so bad.

4) Because I'm not charged for impressions but clicks

Unlike some popular online advertising networks, Google Adwords don't charge me when my ads show up but only when people click on them. That is truly a comfort to know until I realize that my competitors are the ones clicking on my ads. Ouch!

5) Because Google Adwords automatically bids for me

Technically, I trust Google's engineers enough to have them develop algorithms to tell me how much I should be paying them. But sometimes I get cold chills down my spine when I see how fast my bank account is draining out. These engineers must be really smart to have produce such a cool algorithm

6) Because I get to target the people I want to advertise to

In the Google advertising system, only appropriate ads are displayed based on the searched and browsed content. This is great. If only my 9 year old nephew and his friends knew about it and stop trying to see who can find my new products via their browsers first.

7) Because high volume keywords are automatically suggested to me

I like the way Google does this one. They suggest to me all the keywords then disclaim everything about its usefulness. I totally get this one because everyone needs to cover their backside from being burned. It sure inspire confidence in me like never before.

8) Because I get to choose when to display my ads

I get to decide when I start my advertising campaigns and when to stop. That is provided my money doesn't run out first which is usually the case with all those awesome algorithms they put in to help me save money.

9) Because I get to choose where to display my ads

Targeting specific countries are especially effective when you know where your customers are coming from. The only problem is that I will need to learn Japanese when I use proxies from Japan to figure out those ads.

10) Because I'm too lazy to look for another alternative

Yeah, you are right. I deserve what I get because I asked for it..
