How hard is it to manage my advertisement on my own?

Do I have to outbid my competitors for positioning?

No. PocketCents has a flat fixed rate of $0.25 per click so you do not have to worry about large corporate spenders driving prices up. Also, with the location based technology, you will only have direct competition from similar service providers in your immediate area.

Will I have to pay more if the same person clicks my ad two or more times?

No, automatic blocking prevents getting charged twice for the same person clicking on your ad a second time, so you will only be paying for good solid results.
