Free Unlimited Google Adwords Ads - Real Or Scam?

I've seen a big increase in google ads that run along the lines of 'Free Unlimited Google Adwords Ads' and these invariably lead to pages requesting email addresses etc for more information.

As the saying goes, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.  However, I am curious how they can make such claims - there must be something to it, some kind of plan or strategy with some type of catch.

For example, some companies offer free adwords vouchers for new adword customer sign ups.  I am guessing this is what they are selling and expecting people to repeatedly sign up.  If you have some further information on what it's really about, I'd like to know, thanks!

I've seen these also. In no way could Google or any other company offer free "Unlimited" ad words because of course then they would be loosing money.

Your first answer is kind of correct. You sign up and they give you "Unlimited" but really what they are doing is saying its unlimited but when your ads go over a certain click amount thats where they get you. Its all in fine print.

Hello thyros,

The ads could also be phishing, a method to get personal information from you so that spammers can send you spam emails.

Hope this helps!

There are companies that are offering Google Adwords vouchers for $50 or $100 for new customers. These are not scams because they are being offered by legitime companies. The offers are not for unlimeted value. I've seen this kind of offers in hosting companies in the Internet and I know people that have receive these offers.
