Curiousity got the better of me and this morning, I claimed my free USD30 Adwords from my hosting at Bluehost.
Being the total noob, I set up one ad and put a limit of USD100 per month. Within hours, I got 103 page impression (where my ads appear but no one gives a shit) and ONE FREAKING click but I have to pay USD3.30 for that. Ish! Why the earnings I get are miserable USD0.03 and yet, the few keywords and ONE FREAKING click cost me USD3.30?
So, I have suspended and deleted the campaign. I still have RM120 bucks in there ‘cos I need to pay RM40. You need RM20 to activate your account, btw.
Now where is the freaking button where I can open a new campaign? I want to make large rectangle ad banner on either LiewCF or Hongkiat.com. I don’t care if it cost me all that RM100 in one day. At least I know they benefits from it and not some random noob’s blog by some random surfer who clicked my ad. Blek. Not fair!
So question – Where is the CCB button to start a new campaign? Whose blog should I target? What should I say? Ideas, please! (edited : I found the tutorial already)
(yayaya, I know I should read the fine prints but who has time lah)

You’re already a well known figure around their market, why not concentrate on those overseas one?
No offense to the gurus of course. :-P
