Just curious, by a show of hands (by that I mean the poll I am going to attach). Out of those of you who have a photography business, use services like Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing, and/or Microsoft Adcenter. Or in other words, paid ad placement on search engines for your website.

Google Ad words. But, I place my ad for Wedding Photography under search terms like Wedding Gowns and other locations that are wedding related that I don't find wedding photographers.

I used Google Adwords for a while and I am currently using a credit I got for Microsoft adCenter, but I get better results from my SEO

Are you tracking any kind of conversions on keywords?

It's not a free service. I thought I'd better get the 'professionals' involved as far as choosing keywords and making sure that my web site is up to snuff technically to be easily searchable. Cause I'd be clueless...LOL And they had other features that I found would be helpful. (I come from an advertising bkground and sell search engine marketing to my own clients).

If you'd like more info, PM me and I'll give you the rep's name & #.

Edit: Sorry Cmyrtle, I just saw that you are in S.C. I don't know if they have a Reach Local office in your neck of the woods.
