Is Google Ad Words good for Gay traffic?

If you have or are actively using the system, any submission advice would be welcome too.

Best regards,

Adrian.

Yes, it's good until you get a competitor spending a few days clicking on your ads in the middle of the night and burning through your budget....

I ran a test for a week and lost a lot of money.

According to my stats, 85% of the visitors they sent didn't wait for the first page to load. Either my site was very slow for them (I don't think that's true), or people/hitbots were just opening and closing links.

Hi guys,

You should try click4gay.net ! It's entirely devoted to LGBT portals and to LGBT advertisers. You'll get more specific and or explicit keywords ...
They run a anti fraud system who track IP adress of clicks ...

That often happens but especially when your campaigns are set to be shown on publishers sites as well as search results.

Sometimes for some sites / keywords I do all right with adwords. However, I've had to disable a number of campaigns lately because of some truly crudy traffic coming from it. (ie: I lost too much money.)

Everybody has anti-cheat/anti-fraud systems unfortunately I've yet to see one work.

I do Google AdWords regularly. It does fairly well for traffic.

But do yourself a favor and be very specific with your keyword choices, and stay away from the broad terms. Google's system is all about relevance.

I tried Google ad words for 2 months. I lost a lot of money like Cash Addict.
I sort of felt like someone was clicking on my add repeatedly as well. But who knows.

Sorry that you had a bad experience with adwords, Mamakity... since I'm the one that suggested that you try it

It is definitely hit or miss, but when it pays off, it can be quite lucrative.

Are you kidding my love? Don't be sorry, it was a great experience for me.

Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean I didn't get something from it. I learned a lot about writing a desciptive ad and about choosing keywords.

Invaluable information that without your suggestion, I'd a never learned. So thank you for recommending it to me.
