    I see that many webhosts companies give away free google credits and yahoo too.

    For example, one host, this is what I saw at yahoo.
    for $7.95 per month for first 3 months and afterward $9.99

    You get about $100 USD in adword credits and yahoo credits altogether.
    This is equivalent to real money for advertising online.

    So basically hosting pays for itself.

    Now other hosts like start logic offers. 4.95 for transfer per month. that's 60 USD per year. they give $55 USD in adwords and yahoo credits.

    Where do they get these credits from?
    Can we get them too?

    because I think they are very valuable but don't know how to get them.

    Any clues where these credits or offers are made and how is it made?

    There are various ways in which the vouchers are distributed, we for example get given them by Google for being Google Advertising Professionals and I think it's around $400 worth. Other companies like the hosting websites can make deals with Google as it encourages people to use Adwords and also sign up with the hosting company, so it works for both sides of the deal. There are other ways but nothing for the public.

    The webhosting companies usually have a deal with Google in which they can give away a certain number of voucher to their clients. Its a win-win situation for both of them, as the client would be using their webhosting, and most people would continue to use Adwords after the voucher has been used up.

    Sounds good, maybe we should run a web hosting company from now on.
