Get Google Ads Free - Is it Possible?

It seems like every week a newbie marketer asks about "Get Google Ads Free" on the Wealthy Affiliate forum.

This doesn't surprise me at all because "Get Google Ads Free" is the type of misleading crap that seems too good to be true. And it is!

There is no such thing as getting free advertising from Google. There are ways to get free advertising credit applied when you start an adwords account but thats as free as it gets. You still have to pay for the service.

There are also ways to reduce your adspend but free Google ads? No such thing.

How it works in a nutshell

Before it was released in the middle of last year, I had actually known about the model used in "Get Google Ads Free".

Free is far from what it is. Initially, you will need to spend a whole lot of money...more than likely a whole lot more than you actually have if you're just starting out online. The reason for this is so that you can gather stats to persuade advertisers to pay for space on your landing page.

The next step is to use the money from the advertisers to buy PPC advertising so you're not technically using your own money. Does this make it free?

In addition to leaking away your traffic, you're building someone elses business and brand awareness so I don't really see the point although I guess it can be done effectively.

However, the point here is that advertising a product that promises to get your totally free ppc advertising, to me, is just another guru scam. I'm letting you know so that you don't have that "Uh oh, I got suckered again" feeling when your curiosity gets the better of you and you decide to let go of $67 that could be better spent.

My Suggestion

The best thing I can advise you to do if you want to succeed is to learn PPC from people like Kyle and Carson, the authors of Beating Adwords.

This month, a Wealthy Affiliate PPC Accreditation course was launched.

The course is tasked based and will walk you through PPC step by step from scratch to an advanced level. Once completed, you should be an expert in the field and will drastically reduce the risks that are usually associated with PPC marketing.

The only way for you to take advantage of this offer is for you to join Wealthy Affiliate since its only available to members.

The courses will be available as a bundle at a discount price for the next two weeks so take advantage of this offer before its gone.
