INTERNET MARKETING

I receive this offers in the mail from host gator a lot of times, where it gives you a code that says get $100 in ad credit when you spend $25.

This is adwords correct?

Is this legit? How effective is it if I am running a drop shipping website selling pet supplies?

Good investment or waste?

I read up on how to make your ads effective and if I have a 10% off promo code on my store it says a good strategy us to put it in the headline.

Yes! It is legit. This is a promotional code provided by Google to start advertising online through Adwords. Here you will have to spend $25 and they will credited your account with $100. I had also used it.

I think this is a common promo. One of my hosts (HostMonster, very good by the way) regularly mails me $100 coupons for Google Adwords. I do not use Adwords so these are not useful to me but they are certainly legit. Obviously the idea is to get a person making regular use of Adwords once they try it.

  Yes, those AdWords vouchers from hosting companies are legitimate, but they have some restrictions, too: they're normally valid only for new AdWords accounts, are non-transferable, and so on. Always read the fine print carefully.
  
  In this case, $100 in AdWords vouchers would not entice me to host at Hostgator, though. I already have hosting there and am among the huge number of customers who won't be renewing my hosting there, and will be moving, because of the remarkable decline in customer service since the EIG takeover. I was much too slow to learn from many of my fellow-Warriors, here, how very inadvisable it is to host at a company which the dreaded EIG has bought - not a mistake I'll make again.

  Thanks

But don't you have to actually spend several hundred if not thousands to start seeing gains with adwords?

  It varies. I had to spend $200 - $300, myself, but I'd done a lot of detailed research, including reading 2 or 3 good books about it, before I started.
  
  But I think the argument there would be "you'd spend $100 less, if you had a voucher for $100", wouldn't it?
  
  In this case, though, there'd be nothing to think about, because I wouldn't want to host there even free of charge, for the reasons explained above.
  
  Thanks
