    Today when i checked webmaster tools I got a 100$ adwords coupon. So I wasted no time and decided to try out adwords. This is going to be my first PPC campaign ever. Hope it does well.

    I dont expect any sales because I really am a novice in PPC campaigns. Let's see how I can pull off my first campaign. So how do i know I they really credited the money to my account? They told the coupon has been applied, but I cant see any balance or anything. I have activated through my credit card

    Good stuff, any ideas what your going to be promoting yet?

    IMO - try the content network first, it will be cheaper :)

    Good luck with your first advertising campaign. And take my advice - try long tail keyword targeting, you stand a much better chance to get more conversions if you do it this way.

    Don't get into Adwords unless you learn a little bit about it first. While it isn't hard, there are tons of ways to triple that $100 in not time at all:)) On the other hand, you can lose it in a blink of the eye if you haven't done your homework:))

    Good luck and let us know how u did!

    Adwords is not easy to start with especially with all the slaps and quality score issues. Good luck and do post the results how it goes for you.

    I think if you have had Google webmaster tools for a long time they send you the promotional offer. That's how I got it

    If you set up a campaign, clicks are almost instant, if you do it right. That is one of the great benefits!
