google has contacted me already 2 times to let me know that there is a 50$ coupon waiting for me, what i dont understand is that i already have a adwords account. The only thing is that i never used a coupon on my adwords account. Can i open an other account and use the coupon? Thx
You are only allowed to have one account therefore, you wouldn't be able to use the coupon. Possibly you could allow another member to use it if it's transferable.
If you've only recently opened your adwords account (last 14 days) you can use still use it. Otherwise it has to be used on a different account.
If google have contacted you then you might be able to use this voucher on your existing account. I've read this on some blog.
nope, doesnt work! it says that the account is to old for that coupon! what i dont understand is that its the second time that they say that i havent yet used the 50$ coupon.....dont they know that i already have an account?
You can open and have as many Adwords accounts as you want. Simply open a new Adwords account and use that coupon on that account. Do it before 14 days on the new account.
And where did you come up with that info from? http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8759 Yes, you can create multiple AdWords accounts, but that's for Google Advertising Professionals. I doubt that applies to most here.
Can I have multiple AdWords accounts? Google maintains a high standard for our user experience and the quality of our advertising. In order to preserve the quality and diversity of ads running on Google, we don't allow advertisers or affiliates to have any of the following: * Ads across multiple accounts for the same or similar businesses. * Ads across multiple accounts triggered by the same or similar keywords. Individuals advertising for themselves or for their own businesses may only have a single AdWords account. However, your account may contain multiple ad groups and ads triggered by the same or similar keywords. I have been using Adwords since it came out almost. What this means is that you Can't have more than one account IF you are running the SAME campaign on it. As then you would be competing with yourself. When you create the Pro Account, THEN you can have multiple accounts competing for the same keywords, as you would be managing multiple customer accounts. You can open as many normal Adword accounts as you want, just dont run the same campaigns on them at the same time.
This is true (unless things have changed recently). I got one of those vouchers some time back and called someone at Google who advised me to open another adwords account to use it. You just can't run competing campaigns on each one.
