Ah! Vouchers? Also never had of that. I'm also new to google adwords and I've joined the forum to learn. It great here.
Google's ad revenue has been down first quater by 12 % , it is aggressively moving to increase revenues, they are facing competition from smaller PPc engines like yahoo , msn and the new breed like adbrite , bidvertise etc.....they dont want to let any of their accounts move to other ppc engine
