This is really helpful! I don't want to waste it!

I just found a message from august last year from google, saying that since I haven't used adwords before, they would give me $100 of free credit.

Am I allowed to link straight to my affiliate link?

I don't want to waste this opportunity, how can I make the most out of it?

Should I put the price in the advertisement to avoid tyre-kickers?

How will I make sure I only use the credit, and not accidentally get billed?

Cheers,
Sam

  • Yes, you are allowed, but I would recommend you putting up a review page about your aff. product, and then drive traffic to that review page domain, and from there link to aff. product,,
    This way you'll avoid biding war with your competition..

    You will not be billed more then $5, and that's for activating your adwords account, but choose prepay payment method..

    I hope this helps you a bit
  • They banned thousands accounts recently because of this. You should NOT advertise directly your affiliate link. Google wants to get rid of advertisers who promote affiliate links directly.

    Hope it helps.

    • you need to build a website - a mini webste with at last 3/4 pages with privacy policy - term & conditions, contact....and sure your landing page- you could choose a squeeze page or a story page - or review - depend on your niche...there are many niches you don't need to jump weight lost, panic attack...

      You need good content to increase your QS ( quality score ) and get a low CPC...with the same amount of traffic.

      Maybe a squeeze page with a free report, course or whatever it is will be more appropriate...first you could build a list - and google seem to be more flexible ( if you give something free ) ... In this case you will need to write an ads with the word Free inside...

      Start with $30/day and launch your campaign for 3 days...and tracks your results...you could test your niche ...it'll be a good start...

  • Avdo is right. You CAN link ads straight to the affiliate (if the affiliate allows you to use PPC).

    Those saying you can't don't know what they are talking about. If Adwords banned them, it wasn't for that reason.
  • The only other person with adsense ads for the same product, is the vendor. I have only seen 1 other person trying to sell this product, but he got a comment on his website along the lines of "I don't trust your review because you have your clickbank link at the bottom".

    However my clickbank links are disguised really well
    So should I try linking straight to the affiliate page? There is no other affiliates using adwords.
