How Adwords Works:Cost
How much you invest is up to you
You’ll start by choosing a daily budget you’re comfortable with.
Only pay for results
You're not charged when your ad is displayed, but only when someone clicks on your ad to go to your website.
You're in control of your cost-per-click
As an advertiser, you set the price you're willing to pay for each prospective customer.

How Adwords Works: Creating Ads
Ads, like keywords, help people decide if your business is what they’re searching for. A yoga studio, for example, might want to create one ad for beginners and another for more advanced classes.
