This is a link to the New York Times article. It highlights the case of an online retailer that reduced their adword campaign. However, reduced sales and more competition made their decision to reduce their adwords campaign a decision that they regretted.

Thanks for sharing that article. It just goes to show you how complex Adwords can be, and how "on top" of your Adwords game you need to be profitable. Adwords can be a great tool, but I think it is best to start out with the free methods of online promotion before jumping into Adwords. Otherwise you are likely to lose money...

Yes, AdWords is a big money sink unless you know what you're doing. It's sad but true that most AdSense money is made from newbie AdWords advertisers. Experienced advertisers will not bid on content network (AdSense publishers) for more than 10-20 cents. So, the publisher's cut will be 10-15 cent per click.
