Google recently mailed me a 100$ adwords credit. I wonder if i should use it but they want me to send them a bunch of information. Have any of you guys been mailed this by google? Im thinking if getting a debit card and using adwords to promote my affiliate links what do you think?
Sounds a bit dodgy to me - normally Google just give you a voucher code and ask you to sign up yourself through the main adwords site. What sort of information do they want you to send?
Google sends out these invitations to try Adwords all the time to businesses. If you are interested in using their service, simply open an account and enter the code. If you are going to promote affiliate links, do not send the clicks to your own page. Send them directly to the affiliate's page.
Yup, Google does it often enough and there's no reason why you shouldn't use it. $100 is the most expensive voucher so it's not like you're going to get a better offer than that. Even if you don't intend to try Adwords now, I suggest you to sign up and enter the voucher code - usually the vouchers have an expiration date but once the code is entered and credit claimed, it doesn't expire.
