Hey Joshua,

I take on board what you're saying about the pricing - I sometimes wonder whether to send my shirt as payment, as well...

A guy who's been trying to teach me suggest that it's better to start with Google first, just because of the sheer volume of searchers they attract; once you can get profitable on Google, then go after the smaller shares of eye-balls on Yahoo and MSN/Live, respectively?

I'm not sure if he's worked for an SEM provider though... you may have more insider knowledge.
