Google Adwords is a minefield for a starting affiliate.
First of all, the tutorials that Google provides probably leave out as much information as the $37 eBook that I bought.
Yes, you can get started, but you are heading for a fall.
After my first sale, the high-and-mighty MCP (master control program) from Google decided that my ads did not provide relevant content.
Of course, one of 19 clickthroughs did think it was relevant enough to pull out some cold, hard cash and buy.
So, my solution is to create a squeeze page between the Adwords link and the affiliate site.
I do not know how or when the content bubble is going to burst, but it seems one day, there will not be enough people on planet Earth to create the "unique" content Google is seeking.
When that point comes, you will either have a pile of unique information assets, or be left out in the cold.
One final note, just because everything goes fine on Google the first few days, eventually your ad will be disabled unless you really have it tuned.
I cannot give anyone sage advice on avoiding this pitfall other than watch out for it and do your best to avoid it.
