First Sale Has Arrived

Hi everyone,
I just thought I would write to let you all know that my first sale has finally come in. After a few weeks of the site being online I was eager to get the first sale. I've been managing to push a steady flow of traffic towards my site, nothing massive only about 30-40 a day but its a start.
After about 2 weeks of driving traffic I was wondering if I would ever start to get a sale. I wasn't even getting any click through's which started to worry me.
Then suddenly one morning I woke up and thought I would check my Amazon....
There BANG in black and white 5 clicks with 2 ordered items. I couldn't believe my eyes the only down part to it was when i checked to see what was ordered.
It was a 7inch HD tablet and a charger. Nothing to do with fish but then again its a start and now the ball is rolling I hope to see some actual sales of fish items.
I've given google ad-words a trail week of sending me 20 extra clicks a day to see if this would do anything to my site. All that I have noticed is that its helped my sites ranking. Its slowly been crawling up the google rankings and my site is now on the first page of google.
So I was wondering.......Does anyone have anything to say about google ad-words...is this something to consider to keep on using or should I just forget about it.
