I thought why not - as would many... yeah, it was free.<br /><br />The *minute* it aksed me for my debit card details I stopped right there. So should you! STOP!!! It may seem like a wonderful opp, but the minute you get your plastic out of your wallet you can guarantee it is not free anymore.<br /><br />If you are ever told that something is free and they ask you for you credit or debit card details STOP AND GO NO FURTHER.<br /><br />It may not be a scam because, after all, you have signed up for it and you have not read the small print.<br /><br />If something is *genuinely* free, then they will not ask for your credit details! Why should they?<br /><br />Big up here, Glynis! I had this in the post and - to be honest - whhile it is not a sam it will lead to many unpleasant surprises!Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841594006557282266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-14161910498402013392010-03-10T12:53:08.334-08:002010-03-10T12:53:08.334-08:00I took the offer in December and got over 1.200 vi...I took the offer in December and got over 1.200 visitor to my blog.<br /><br />You have to pay the 5$ activation fee but i think they add it now on top of the voucher amount of 100$.<br /><br />You just have to monitor daily the amount spent by Adwords and then you can adjust the daily budget. In the beginning i had 15$ daily budget but this hasn't been reached in the first days.<br />because when you setup the Adwords-campaing with automatic bidding... Google starts with 1 cent/click and you won't be visible on top of the Google ads (there's mostly a 10 or 11 ranking system) with this offer.<br />As the days passed, my pay-per-click amount went up to 15 cents/click which meant i had to take care of my daily limit because now my ad would be shown more often on the 1 - 3 rank for specific keywords. From this time on i reduced to 5$ which was ok.<br /><br />I would suggest for anyone, to take this offer and simply STOP your campaign at 90$, set your daily limit to 5$ and don't do the automatic bidding but set a maximum pay-per-click price of 5 - 10 cents (the higher this price the better would be the ranking, the more clicks you could get daily).Martin@Cornyman's Money-Bloghttp://cornys-moneypage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-45824162297202748402010-03-10T08:38:26.922-08:002010-03-10T08:38:26.922-08:00Hey Patricia,

How they set this up is to convince you they need 1) $5 activation fee, then 2) check your account for authenticity (let us deposit 5 cents into your account to make sure its real).<br />Caution everyone!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575560533081045606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-59297347017524706262010-03-10T08:27:43.236-08:002010-03-10T08:27:43.236-08:00Carol,

I'm wondering now if I should cancel this or let it ride as it doesn't seem to be costing me anything.
