Adwords: Should I place my self on the first page for "web design"
I pay 60 cents per click on Adwords ($250 per month) for my web design business
www.owndesigns.com
I get about 2-3 small jobs per month, which just covers my bills. Most people come in on the keywords, "web design" or "website design" or sometimes through various keywords that have to do with "affordable website design". I've tried many, many ad variations and keywords.
My price is $39/page, $250 minimum spend.
I'm wondering if you guys think it would be profitable to put myself on the first page, pay the huge Adwords bill, and take in more clients. Looking for good advice!

Thanks humeniuk.
Negative keywords were the big thing. I was able to increase my CPC and spend the same amount. Priceless.
Your words were very helpful, especially that great link, www.seo-blog.com/conversion-credibility-and-trust.php

That's the first time I've read that part of seo-blog.com. It's great.
Just in case you're interested, I called Google Adwords. They said to include negative keywords like
-class
-template
-tutorial
etc.
They also said to make some text ads that are designed to go to different pages of my website. They also told me to use Google Analytics.
Anyway, between humeniuk and Google, I've got plenty of information, but I'll lease the question open in case others have more to add.
