I tried it, and never really liked it (even with my $75 if free advertising).

Adwords is actually not so straightforward to use.

1. Use long-tail keywords and words that aren't often used in the search bar. If you purchase the word "personal finance" then everyone is going to click -> BUT they're not all looking for blogs. So you might purchase the term "personal finance blog" or "How to be frugal." Figure out which words give you the most conversions.

 

2. You might consider creating a landing page -> What are they going to see as soon as they click the ad? The homepage of your website? Most people design a webpage just for people that click the ads. 

 

3. Market your blog by Audience as well. If I'm a student loan blog, I would set the ads only to show from 5:00pm-midnight. Why? Because that's when students are home and free to browse the internet. If my blog is talking about gambling, then I would go to google-insights and find out where in the U.S. do most people search for gambling and then set the ad to show in Nevada or something.

 

There's probably more ways to make adwords more effective, but I'm just a beginner.

@ P2PNoob – those are some great tips. I have never used Adwords, so I will keep these things in mind when I start up a campaign.
