Website Builder Tutorials: How to claim the Google AdWords voucher
We made a big song and dance last year when we started giving away free Google AdWords vouchers worth up to £50 with every website maker package from ‘Lite’ upwards. Next month we’re going to be launching a guide to Pay Per Click search engine advertising, to help you make full use of the voucher. But the first thing you’re going to need to do is claim your Google AdWords voucher. Follow this tutorial to find out how:
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
I’ve never taken advantage of the adwords vouchers - if people keep clicking on the adwords advert to access your site, won’t that mean that eventually, when the voucher runs out, we’ll end up paying for the advertising?

Hi Alison,
Yes that’s right, you will. So people who were looking for your website anyway will end up costing you money.
We’ll be covering all this in our pay per click guide (coming soon!), but it could be argued that if they’re already looking for you then you want to make it really easy for them to find you, and so if it costs you a penny or two for each click (assuming competitors aren’t bidding on your name) then its worth it.
Of course if you want to use the voucher to get genuinely new traffic to your website, then don’t bid on your brand name, but just on generic keywords instead. Once again, we’ll talk about this is the guide!

Hi Andy,
Can you tell you let me know what error you’re getting? What does it say? Or can you send a screengrab to ken@webeden.net?
Thanks,
Ken
