Beware who gets rich with your website....

I had a £50 voucher this week from good old google the search engine group, they said I could have £50 of FREE adverts on the net for my shop.
The thing is to use the voucher I needed to give them my bank details, because they were to deduct £5 per day from me for each click made on my shop.
Wow thats brill I thought, it wont be me earning from my shop, it's old google getting cash again, for all I know they could ask all the folk they know to click on my site not to buy from me, but to help vital cash flow for them.
I may as well just ask people in the street to take £5 off me if they will view my website, google must think I was born yesterday.

Hmm... yes that does sound odd.

I know google have several offers such as £30 adwords vouchers, however I have never seen ones with strings attached like that before... may be worth contacting google for clarification!

Re : Beware who gets rich with your website.

How did you receive the voucher?

E-mail, post, over phone or in your google account?

I can't imagine Google ever sending anything like this, especially if they're asking for your bank details, because if you already have an adwords account they should have your bank details anyway!

It's probably a Google Reseller trying to sell you some adwords.

I got the same 2 weeks ago. the £5.00 is a one off admin fee. But you do get $50 dollars of adwords.

Re : Beware who gets rich with your website.

I know that Googl offers at £75 voucher as well, once you've put your bank details into their system. Last time I used it I didn't have any charges and £75 is a decent amount of advertising.
