I need to advertise on Google Adwords but I have no CC, what do I do?

Also are there any other companies that I can use to advertise through Google?

Thanks all.

 

Get yourself a CC (most online advertising networks require one anyway, so it will come in handy), move to a country where Google accepts prepay payments, or try to make a deal with someone you know so you can use his/her CC . (I'm not sure though if that last suggestion is officially allowed though...)

You can find a nice list and reviews of the different top PPC Networks here: Pay Per Click Networks Tested

 

I should try adding your bank account details - some pay per click companies are happy to simply take the money out of your bank account. This might mean a short delay while they verify that you have actually paid

However once you get your account up and running everything should work just fine

Google is by far the best PPC company, and from my experience they check that the clicks on your ads are genuine - they are good at detecting click fraud and deleting the accounts of publishers who "step over the line"

 

What about a virtual credit card? Where do I get one? Will this work on Google Adwords?

Thanks all!

 

why would you want a virtual credit card and not a real one?

 

I just like the idea of one. Where can I get a virtual credit card?

 

I don't have a credit card either and I use Adwords. Maybe it's because I live in Germany but still, they take the money direct out of my bank account. It was there in the payment options after I had set the account up. I then had to print out a mandate and fax it to Google Ireland to give them authorisation to take money from my bank account on a regular basis based on the money I owe them. About a few days later my account was activated and I was actively advertising. No credit card no problem, just check which options are available in your country.

 

I think a virtual, prepaid credit card that I can top up with a cheque/ standing order would be great.

This would allow me to use it for Adwords and more online.

I am in the UK - anyone recommend such a service?

Thanks

 

I think they should allow more payment options personally

 

Maybe create there own bank. They've got the $$

 

I get unlimited; Virtal credit card from my bank HDFC it's service called NETSAFE.

This service is free of cost you just search this on your HDFC banks website it's a free service. You can create VCC of any value.

I love this service...

 

Virtual card it ok if you not Credit card

 

I wouldn't recc. a virtual credit card.

I know plenty of people who get away it, however they are starting to crack down on it.

If you open more than one account, for different campaigns or somthing of that nature, with that VCC, they will ask you to fax them a copy of it front and back (with the numbers blacked out) along with a Government issued I.D. card(Drivers liscense...passport). Then they will cancel your ads from running, and its a huge crappy ordeal.

 

Well you can use upfront payment method then, or find someone who runs Google Ads and pay him cash
