Without knowing the ROI it's really impossible to know if this is high or not.

Spending $1 to make $2 is always the right decision.

Unless you have an opportunity to spend $1 and make $3. Your supply of dollar bills is still limited. It's hard to spend huge amounts of money. You've always got to consider where the greatest leverage exists.
