We tried Google Adwords about 12-months ago to try to up our ebay sales.

It cost about $125 to try it for a month but $100 of that was donated by Google in order to suck us in so cost us $25.

We could clearly see the results in that when we searched for the popular words people would use our ads were always right there on top. And we asked various friends to search and they reported seeing our ads too right on top.

But we could not detect any increase in ebay sales.

We even went so far as to contact quite a few buyers during the period asking them if they found us via Google.

Not a single one responded with yes.

So we concluded that the $125 was 100% waste of money.
