Hi Everyone.

For one of my online stores, PPC cost (Google Adwords) is about $200-300 a day.

Google recommends $300 - 500.

I don't run it for the entire 30 days because I really do feel the pinch sometimes. So my monthly PPC cost is around $5000.

Net profit is around $2500/month excluding repeat businesses. Maybe around $5000/month if I include repeats but I am not sure.

This site has minimal SEO done. So I know all the businesses are from PPC.

Problem is I always find it hard to pull the trigger when it comes to PPC. Feels like something is wrong if I have to pay Google so much.

Sometimes Google recommends $500/day to maximise my sale opportunities.

Questions is, should I go ahead and just put $15k/month into my Adword account and hope for the best?
