The biggest question people ask about their Google AdWords campaign is whether or not they’re making a profit. Google AdWords has two free tools that will help answer your questions.
Return on Investment (ROI)
ROI is the ratio of your costs to your profits. It’s the most important metric advertisers use because it’s based on your advertising goals and reflects what your advertising efforts have on your business. The ROI revolves around conversion: customer actions that you feel valuable with that purchase, sign-up, webpage visit or lead.
