How to Get a Google AdWords Promotional Code
Google AdWords allows you to advertise your product, service or website on the Internet by bidding on keywords. Unlike many Google services, AdWords is not free, and the more popular the keywords you choose, the more you'll pay to advertise. You should start out slow and experiment before you run up advertising charges. Use a promotional code to “try before you buy” and Google will credit up to $100 to your AdWords account to get you started. Tracking down a promotional code may take a bit of detective work, but it is time well spent.

Tips & Warnings
Google may charge you a $5 fee to redeem a promotional code. The fee can be billed to a credit card and an extra $5 will be added to the amount of your coupon. For example, if you redeem a $100 promotional code, Google will charge you $5 and credit your account with $105. You can use this money to get started advertising with Google AdWords.
Fine-tune your keyword bidding strategies before you start shelling out money for advertising or you may incur substantial charges with little to show for it.
