1) Instead of refreshing the page, set your google preferences to 100 results, that way all the adwords appear on one page, alot easier to count them that way. Youll see the exact number of competitors for a keyword.

2) Use dynamic ads to figure out which ones get the best CTR. In other words every time you start an adgroup make sure you have 2 separate ads. After about 30-50 clicks whichever has the best CTR, you keep the other you delete. Then you make another ad, and try to beat the first winner with it. I know people who got up to 20% CTR like that.

3) Buy the perry marshall book, its worth it.

4) Think keywords with more then one word. I know its tempting to bid on "latina" or "ebony" but youre better off bidding on "latina pussy videos".

5) RELEVANCE = ROI.

ANy questions?
Hello. Sorry I haven't had more time this weekend to add more advice. And I'm only dropping by for a few minutes right now. My bathroom renovations are calling....

Anyhow, nick3131 added some very good tips above. And I see a couple of people have indeed bought Perry Marshalls Adwords eBook. I'm confident you won't be disappointed.

Someone asked if Adwords Equalizer is worth buying. MY answer, Yes, but you can also survive without it. The one major drawback to Adwords Equalizer is that the traffic stats it provides are usually pretty inaccurate. It get's these stats from Overture. And overture uses VERY broad based logic when delivering results for searches.

So, I use Adwords Equalizer f=to find undeutilized niches, then I validate the traffic stats with Wordtracker.

Wordtracker offers a free trial. If you are doing mainstream sites, you might be able to get away with never buying a membership. But, for any adult terms, such as sex, nude, adult, ...., the free trial will give you zero results. Only the paid subscription delivers adult search figures. I find wordtracker's traffic figures ARE quite accurate.
