Hey guys,
i've stumbled upon a method for investing in PPC campaigns without loosing to much money..and it will be nothing new for the most of you..

there are vouchers/coupons u can buy for 10$ or something and get 50$ of spending in retunr for facebook, adwords, adcenter etc.

buuuut in order to use several of them, you need different accounts AND new VCCs (virtual credit cards)!

i have found one supplier whose stuff works well - 50$ for a working VCC which has 25$ preloaded!

now the question is - is this precedure even legal? or let me ask you this: is it legal to have different VCCs????

    I have seen a Bing PPC had a coupon to where you spend a amount and they would give you a extra $300. I would look into this. Good luck to everyone.

    If I understand you correctly, what happens is you get the 10 voucher that is worth 50 in ppc for free. Thats legal because the ppc company is going to make money off you in the long run. The 50 dollar free clicks is to get you in the door. Once you start making money on ppc you will spend more money. Thats how these companies make money is from return customers.

    Now when you get into having to get different cards and different accounts that is when you start breaking terms and conditions with these companies. If this was legal you would not need so many accounts and different cards. Sounds like some type of fraud or cheating the system. Most of these companies do have a way of tracking this. It is usually through your ip address. If you get caught your ip address will be banned.

    If you are willing to outsource the "hassle" then it's probably an effective strategy, from what I have observed - based on your input.

    No, this is not legal. It is a violation of the AdWords/AdCenter/etc Terms of Service agreements and the terms that accompany the voucher offers themselves stating that they are for new accounts only. Not only is this breach of contract, a civil tort for which the service could theoretically sue you for the damages incurred -- the value of the vouchers you were not legally allowed to redeem except through your fraud -- but access to an account created in violation of the site's terms constitutes an unlawful access to a computer system. This is a federal crime which has been successfully prosecuted against people that merely violated a TOS agreement before continuing to use a website. It's doubtful a federal prosecutor is going to get involved in a coupon abuse scheme, but since you asked -- this is both a civil tort and a criminal offense.

    Legality aside, it's highly unethical.
