How on earth can anyone sell verified google adwords account?(with $100 loaded)

11 replies
well i got a shocker today. Somebody was selling verified google adword accounts with $100 loaded in it. He has sold more then 50 accounts and he is saying he is doing this for over an year. This is real shock. Infact he is selling it right now and buyers are giving him positive feedbacks. This is a real shocker. How will you react if someone launch a wso with same type of service. I have no clue how he do it. But you guys know anything about it?

    If you buy one, you have to be sure and use it quickly. I bought one like that (lower amount) and didn't use it for a month or so, and Google realized that the free credits offer had already been used before and shut down the account. If they want to be mean about it (I mean, you are trying to take advantage of them) then they could possibly shut down any other legitimate accounts that you may have too.

      Would there be a chance that a used credit be used again? google is better than that.

    I wouldn't do it, Google is not nice when you screw with them. It wouldn't be worth losing access to all my google accounts. Not for the $85 I would get for buying an account.

    Better off starting your own account and using a coupon. You can buy the adwords for dummies book off amazon for 16 and you get a $25 coupon for adwords. Great book, too!

    Here's the skinny on this. There are quite a few people including very successful affiliates who buy or create these types of accounts.

    Here are some reasons why this is done.

    First if you could buy $100 in adowrds credits for 10-15 bucks, do you think it would be easier to turn a profit? The other thing some people do is use these preloaded throwaway accounts to run test campaigns. It's a cheap yet shadey way to run test campaigns. Then assuming things are profitable they can move the "good" keyword to a more permanent adwords account. This helps to keep your primary accounts with a good adwords performance history, which has it's benefits.

    Obviously there is some risk in doing this if your doing it on a large scale, which some people do.

      Doesn't look like there has been any interest in this lately, but I have an adwords account with just a little over $6,000, $6,010 and a few cents I think and am looking at selling it.

      How would I go about this?

      And would using escrow.com be a good idea, so that everyone is comfortable about the deal?

    A month or two ago, Google gave $100 vouchers to everybody who had a site registered under Webmaster Tools.

    I have 6-7 accounts with sites registered so I got a total of $600 to $700 worth of credits. The only thing was I had to open new accounts to use each voucher.

    Like Gorilla Writer says, I used it as a throwaway account to test campaigns. Best market research money that I ever "spent" =)

    Is it dangerous to have all your websites under on webmaster or analytics account?
