Hai
My Adwords campaign is live today. Please advice me, how to proceed with it.
It is my friend's project. And this is my first PPC project. Iam afraid slightly in managing it, because this is the game with money.
Please advice me with all your suggestions in managing the campaign.

If you are that new, I suggest having a look voer the learning center here:

It gives a good base to start from.

Please advice me with all your suggestions in managing the campaign. seonew, your post actually raises some red flags for me - and, to be very straightforward, my best advice would be to pause all your campaigns for at least a couple days, and spend those days with some serious study on how AdWords works, using the resource suggested by RedFly.
If that is not a possibility for some reason, then at the very least please set your daily budget no higher than you can truly afford to spend per day - and read & absorb this useful information:
Tips for success:

I am offering this rather blunt advice because I'd like to see you succeed. I know that AdWords can work exceptionally well for those who really understand how it works. I also know that it can be exceptionally frustrating for those who set up an account quickly, and then expect it to return outstanding results right away. I have seen many advertisers 'fail' at AdWords and lose money because they have not taken the time to understand how it works. The unfortunate part is that they then tend to blame AdWords and call it a program that doesn't work - when if fact it could have worked quite well for them had they taken the time necessary to understand the basics.
The bottom line is that, like so many things worth doing, AdWords takes real work. And doing this work can pay off very well indeed. Not doing the work can lead to serious frustration and perhaps a loss of money.
All that said, I again wish you every success with AdWords.
