Are some adwords promotions and vouchers illegal and liable to get you banned?

    You know I have seen dozens and dozens of threads with many different types of google coupons, vouchers, promotions etc being sold, bartered and just plain given away on dp. Some of them are very iffy. Like many are only valid for first time customers on adwords within the first 14 days. Well, the sellers push these coupons and say its perfectly fine "because I know so many people who used it over and over by making new adwords accounts".

    Well what the sellers fail to stress is that you are screwing google over by doing this! Now that does make me wonder, aren't people who sign up for multiple adwords accounts taking a risk of being banned from google adwords forever, but more critically also being banned from adsense? :eek:

    I am a bit confused as to how to differentiate the different types of coupons and promotions relating to new adword accounts. I know some vouchers are legit, specifically those sold by authorized google account affiliates but some definately are being misrepresented. And the risks are being taken by the buyers not the sellers. Its the buyer that is left "holding the bag" so to speak at the end.

    Anyway since I just opened a fresh adwords, does anyone know what the best deals are to snag RISK FREE before a person's first 14 days run out? I tried signing up through the yahoo $55 link but that doesnt seem to be getting credited. And adwords wants me to activate my account...but I am not sure if I should do that right now because it asks to input(optionally) a promotion code. :confused:
