Fun with Google Adwords
I recently got a $100 gift card for Google Adwords to advertise my freelance business. Adwords works by charging a variable dollar amount per word or phrase, based on popularity. So if I want to buy the phrase “web development,” which is likely quite popular, I’m going to pay a lot of money for each click. If I buy “purple monkey blender,” however, it’s going to be quite cheap.
So I put it to you guys: what key words or phrases should I buy? I am completely open to the idea of buying nothing but joke words and phrases. I might do a few serious ones.

The thing is… I side with Google.
