Google has again offered me a free £75 voucher. I run an info business. Is it worth it to spend their money? Is it like gambling, will I get addicted to it and loose in the long run? And just how do you promote an information business, I mean, basically, is it worth it to spend the time in spending their money?

I delved deep into Adwords after suffering a SEO slap from Google, that cut my revenues (and staff) in half over night. As long as you find your niche and stay on top of it, Adwords is the best bet in my experience.

I would say run some tests with the voucher after learning the basics. Focus on long tail keywords that describe the problem you help to solve. If you want to share the product here or via email, I can give you more guidance.

Any idea why they offered it? ie. I might try AdWords if they started me with $125.
