A Google AdWords Invite

As a thank-you for using AdSense a few days ago I received an invitation from Google to try AdWords. Included with the invite was a $100 gift card to get me started. All I had to do was sign up for AdWords, create a campaign then pay a $10 non-refundable administration fee and use my coupon code to pay for my advertising. The advertising can be set to any amount daily that I want to spend as well as the CPC which is only deducted from my balance if someone clicks on the link. The ad can be suspended anytime I want and once the $100 is gone I can opt suspend the ad, add funds to have it run longer or cancel my AdWords account. I can also try different types of advertising including geographically targetted and CPA. Now from a blogging standpoint this is a win:win opportunity!

Imagine how long it will take someone like me, a frugal person, to spend that $100. So I have a $100 to play around advertising on Google SERPs. It might bring me a bit of extra traffic but then again it might not. The most it will cost me is the $10 administration fee if I decide to not use AdWords any longer. I will report back on how well this free promotion worked for me as soon as my $100 runs out.
