Stefan – not sure. I can’t see anything about what language it’s limited to.
Luke – I don’t think it usually takes more than a day or two.

This sounds like a great offer, are there any catches?

So, is this equivalent to $50 for free?
Well, I looked at some ebay auctions and $50 adwords credit is going for less than $5, granted the auction states you need to make a new account. Is this some kind of referral system?

This is strange!
Google offered me $25, a week ago!

It’s only for the new users. You’ll be given $40 for advertising, $10 goes for registration. It takes a bit to get confirmed because Google goes for each website manually I believe. No information about language limitation.

Can you opt out of the adwords campaign at any time?
Or are you placed into a contract?

People are selling these coupons like crazy on Digitalpoint. I personally need coupons to add to my active account instead. I want to keep it going on the same account so that way I can keep tracking the same keywords over time instead of having to create new accounts just for more promo codes.
I wonder how much Google is losing due to all these promo codes flying around.

I’d like to do this, but not till after the holidays. Any idea how long the offer is good for?

I’m not sure on the answer to any of these questions friends. Best to approach AdWords directly :-)

I’m going to be a little “glass is half empty” here. This is simply to entice new users with small budgets. Big companies with big budgets will burn that $50 in a few hours. All i’m going to say is be careful when you set your account up, don’t let that $50 run out to quick and then start burning your own cash. Small budget Adword users beware of the PPC ploys!

This $200 of free advertising requires a charge of $5 (so I lied, that makes it actually $195 of free advertising). Google: Click here to sign up for Google AdWords and take advantage of their Christmas season $50 advertising coupon. No expiration date seems to be listed for this one (but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one). LookSmart: Follow this link to sign up for LookSmart and make sure to use promo code SESCHQ4 at check-out for your $300 credit. This offer is good for first time LookSmart advertisers only and your daily budget must be set to $10 or higher, meaning you can only freeload for a maximum of 30 days. Also, this offer expires December 25, 2006. Ask: Go to this sign up page and enter promo code SESCHI06 during the check-out process. So there you have it, $600 of free advertising to get you started with whatever online presence you might have. Thanks to ProBlogger and Paul Allen. Thanks all, Enjoy it (kiss my rep maybe) Try this, it’s $600 free. __________________ Focused.ORG ► Focused.ORG ► Focused.ORG ► Focused.ORG Read the latest internet news for free!

the google adwords CSR said you cannot get the 50 by signing up at the link above, he said you have to have the code to put in the box before hand or within 14 days after signing up. So, that above link, appears like a referral for someone, only.
Where can I get a code, ANYONE??? Since I helped with some info?
Colormecolorado@aol.com please, I have 10 days left
