A lot of advertisers have lost money with Adwords. If you visit the forums you can come across a lot of people who have given up on Adwords. Some of them think it's a scam. The fact is that AdWords pulls in Billions of dollars of revenue each year. If there wan't money to be made with AdWords the bottom would have fell out long ago and there would be no more Google Adwords. AdWords is not a scam!
It's sad when marketers give up and blame the medium they were using as the cause of their failure. No matter how many websites and courses out there claim that it's easy to pull in huge AdWords profits the fact is there is a lot to learn. Your not just going to throw a page on the internet and write and ad and bid on a few keywords and all of a sudden have thousands of dollars in sales every day.
Before you even start your campaign you should learn as much as you can about Adwords. Search "adwords forums" on google. Read as many articles as you can. Visit blogs about Adwords. These are all free ways to learn before you start.
I would also recommend joining a free course. There are some great guides out there ranging from $46-$97 that will teach you step by step how to put together a profitable campaign.
If the marketers who call Google AdWords a scam had taken steps to learn the AdWords game, they wouldn't have failed.
It is simply amazing. Google's value recently passed the 100 billion dollar mark. If you aren't in awe of the company's growth, then you are missing out on something that is nothing less than spectacular. So, what does all this mean? Are we all going to be Googled or something?

In September 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Stanford University PhD candidates launched Google just a few years after meeting each other in a Stanford dorm. Together, they began to work on a new search engine they initially called BackRub which listed search results according to the popularity of that page. Soon thereafter, the name was changed to Google and with the backing of family, friends, and investors to the tune of one million dollars; Google was launched on September 7, 1998, in a friend's garage.
Let's just say that from launch day forward growth has been nothing less than absolutely phenomenal.
It is nearly impossible to track all the changes that have taken place with the company since its inception. However, in 2004, the company went public and stocks were sold at what many considered to be a hyped up price of $85 per share. Today, shares have quadrupled in value and are set to pass the $350 mark. This fresh infusion of cash has allowed Google to expand, develop, or purchase other products including GMail, Blogger, GoogleEarth, Google Toolbar, Google Groups, Google Talk, and more.
There are other products in various stages of development and the usual "rumors" that suggest Google will create a completely different product line or purchase another company's business. For the sake of fun, here are some of the areas that Google just may be interested in exploring:
