Thanks for sharing your experience. It's a bummer that Google ads didn't work out for you, but it's great that you're taking it in stride. Sometimes, the results can be unpredictable, and not every avenue brings the desired outcomes.

Your advice to save money for something else is valuable; it's all about finding what works best for each individual or business. If you've discovered alternative strategies that have been more effective, feel free to drop some wisdom. We're all in this together!

If I was to offer up some advice: Either you pay somebody (with the proper knowledge) to set up and manage your Google Ads account. Or, spend the time and effort to familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of advertising on Google. Doing it yourself can payoff in the long run, but jumping in blindly can cause you to become easily frustrated and quit. 

Google Ads has a learning Algorithm that needs time to run the data. Don't expect to hit a home run your first time at the plate as there are a lot of customization options. Patience is key.

Yeah, phonebooks are phonebucks for the publisher only. 

So how do you find out where they heard about you?  I take it you ask and then track the answers.

Is that good?  Does that mean for every 18 impressions you get 1 click-thru? 

Of is it for every click-thrus you get 1 sale?

Anyway do have the ROI (return on investment) calculated?  This is getting real informative.
