For one, I'd like to make money with Adwords, and if anyone can show me the error of my ways - I'd thank you... with $ also.
Ok first of all you can get keywords for as low as 1 cent not 5.

Secondly doing revshare with Adwords is retarded. If you have 3 months worth of ad budget money are are willing to wait 3 months to see if can even break even then go for it.

1:300 sucks. If you keywords are perfoming that badly then you need to drop them. Still 1:300 even at 5 cents per click and a sponsor paying $30 per sign up means a 100% profit.

Also depends on how much you spend. Say if you could spend $20K a week and even if you only made 10% profit that's $100K in profit a year. Not bad.
