Google Credit Card for your AdWords?

Posted on July 25, 2011 by under Pay Per Click

Google are running a test in tempting small business to use AdWords with a low interest rate Credit Card. They insist that it will benefit small business’s that are struggling to grow. So if your cash flow isn’t great you and you want to use an intensive ad campaign to get your business going you can use their credit card now and pay later!

OK, so there are definitely pros and cons to this one.

Firstly, if you can’t pay now, will you be able to pay later?
