I can't comment about that company, but the "5 keywords for £x" fixed price packages are really popular by scam companies that cold call.

(Just to through the archives for threads where people are complaining about getting ripped off, and you'll see what I mean.)

That doesn't mean they're scammers, but you might want to read this:

PS For PPC, it would be really, really weird to only have 5 keywords. It's also really weird for it to be the same price for 5 keywords, regardless of the market.

I've had clients paying under 5p per click, and I've had clients paying over £10 per click. It all depends on the market and the value of a visitor.

When the business/pricing model doesn't add up, tread carefully. You're probably not being told the whole story.

this is the sad reality in online marketing, & how there are so many different approaches and different ways to go about things. This approach just goes to show how these cowboys work...As Steve mentioned how can you run a campaign with 5 keywords even if you sold a "monospuralating diode" ( i just made that up btw) the number of terms just for that item would be alot..."buy a md" (shortening the product term here cant respell) "md suppliers" even long tails like "wher can i buy a md" and think of the 25 different spellings....price what iif you were a mortagae broker and paid £15 per click thats 10 clicks a month? but i guess that is where they have researched and figured out where they can sit back and do nothing each month for their buck.....
PPC campaigns take time and effort to get to their optimum and to be tested regularily...then there is the on page - does the site convert, is the user experience the best it can be....do they sort out tracking and on and on....i would strongly advise you steer clear...
