    Hello !

    I`m from Romania and i own an adult affiliate website . Today somebody told me that he recived a ticket from Google Adwords that worth around 50$ and he will sell it to me for 15$ :) . Now after i read some posts here and on other websites i come with this question : is this a scam ?
    Somebody told me that i can`t use it .
    What do you think ? Should i buy it ? If i buy it can i use it to promote my adult video chat cam site ? Does google promote this kind of websites with adwords? :confused:

    Thanks for your answers !

    I believe google adsense doesnt allow their ads to be placed on adult websites

    I guess you are talking about adwords... You can find adwords voucher for much cheaper in the vouchers section.. $15 for a $50 is expensive... you may have to check if google allows adult ads on adwords...

    There's not one consistent answer as to whether adult sites can use adwords. It's not allowed on the content network (the adsense ads on blogs and websites) it is allowed in search (the ads on the side and at the top of a search results page) - with some restrictions - it's not allowed in all countries - but if you're not in one those countries and you do a non-filtered search for an 'adult' term e.g "sex toy" - you will see that there are a lot of ads.
    General guidelines here - http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&answer=118297

    google does not allow adult sites
    it can be dangerous buying those vouchers too, they can only be used once on new accounts, so it could have already been used

    Thank you all for your answers !

    I had tried that ticket and it have already been used. The good part was that i told the guy who was selling it that i will pay him after i try the ticket :).
    So, i didn`t pay him and this is it :).
    Thanks again for your advices !:)

    That's a very smart way to go for ALL voucher purchases.
    Make certain they work before payment is made.
    Should almost be a sticky at the top of that sales forum.
    ;)

    Start looking for adult-friendly ad networks for your advertising purposes and experiment.
    You are going to want to do that regardless, so it can't hurt to spread your ad dollars around starting from scratch.
