Adwords First Timer

[ccook029]

Hey Guys,

So, I've got my website almost ready and I've designed my campaign in adwords, but I was just looking for a little more advice (once again). Since it's my first time, would you recommend using the automatic bidding with Google or should I attempt to bid on CPC myself. Not knowing much about it, I am inclined to just use the "Focus on clicks", Automatic Bidding, no CPC bid limit, which is the way that it is set up by default.

My campaign will be going live on Aug 3rd and running for one week to see how it goes, but just curious what other people would do in my place.
Thanks,

I don't have the answer, but I'd love to stay updated on how your testing goes.

As you might see that I posted a similar question right before you. What I figured TFerriss meant by focusing on ranking 2-4 at <$.20 per click doesn't seem to be getting me ANY clicks....and that was setting my per-click budget at about $.25. Something tells me that might not be what he meant.

Anyone else?
