In relation to time, you should decide how much you are willing to pay per day, for your ads. Once you have set your budget, you know that you won’t break the bank on an ad.

If you visit a keyword search site (such as this one) you will be able to track down relevant keywords for your business. These could be the same keywords you use in your SEO and blogs.
