Can You Really Get Google Ads for Free?
By Steven Holdaway. Posted in AdWords, Random Internet Marketing | No Comments »Recently it’s been a popular email to receive that you can get ads on Google AdWords for free. Since many people have been emailing me asking me about this, I decided to write a small post about it.
The truth is that unless Google gives you a credit or a free advertising voucher (they don’t freely hand these out), there is no way for you to get Google Ads for free. All the products and ebooks that tell you that they receive Google Ads for free are a little inaccurate.
Basically, here’s how these products tell you to get Google Ads for free…
First off, you have to own the website you’re advertising otherwise this doesn’t work at all. If you own a website, but can’t update specific sections of the website you’re advertising this won’t work either.
Secondly, they don’t tell you how to prevent Google from charging you for your advertisements on AdWords. You still pay Google every penny for your advertising costs.
Since you now know this, you’re probably wondering “how do they get Google Ads for free?”. Basically, their theory is that if you sell enough advertising on your website by displaying banners, text advertisements, links, etc. you will make enough money from those advertisements to offset your advertising costs on Google.
It will work, but their technique is a little vague on their website. Using this theory I can advertise Google Money Pro as “Get Google Ads Free” and just say something like “you will get Google Ads free by making enough money by selling products to cover your Google fees”.
The current real ways to get free Google advertising are either by getting a Google coupon from Google themselves, Getting a Google Coupon from a Google Advertising Professional, or by getting an AdWords Credit from Google if they overcharge your account for fraudulent clicks.
