An Ad Coupon gives you the opportunity to try out advertising on well-known search engines, such as Google AdWords™ and Yahoo, with virtually no risk. The search engines (in most cases) will charge you a nominal setup fee (usually between $5 and $25) to create an account with them. In exchange, they credit your new account with an ad credit. The ad credit usually ranges between $25 and $100, depending on the search engine and its ad credit policy.

You can then use the funds provided to you by the ad credit to advertise your website on these search engines, get visitors, and, if you're successful, convert these visitors into customers.

The search engines will cost you only as much as you're willing to spend. With each search engine, you can define a daily budget and they won't charge you anymore than that. Additionally, you can say exactly how much you want to pay for each visitor that they send to your website, so that you're always in control of your expenses.

We've established a partnership with Google, Yahoo and all other search engines to provide you with this special opportunity. It's provided to you in cooperation between IX Web Hosting and the respective search engine.

With most search engines, you prepay them for a certain amount you want to spend. You fund your account with them and they will charge your account for visitors they send to you.

You can control and manage your advertisements on each search engine directly at the search engine's control panel - the same place where you created your account with them. The advertiser relationship is directly between you and the search engine.

You can still sign up for any of the search engines; however, they may not be able to give you the ad credit. Some search engines have restrictions to only provide the ad coupon amount to US or Canadian citizens. However, many other search engines provide the ad coupon amount no matter where you live.

Choosing keywords is a rather simple process, and it's important to choose keywords that are completely relevant for what you're trying to sell. A good start would be to search for "choosing keywords" on any search engine, such as on Google. There you will find many resources that can help you make the right choice for your site's keywords.

It depends on the search engine; but most engines will suspend your advertisements until you manually refill your account. Others will simple charge you for whatever amount of visitors they sent to you. Most search engines allow you to define a daily budget, so that you will never spend anymore than you expect to on any single day.

There is virtually no limitation on most search engines. Any search engine will allow for thousands of keywords and advertisement variations to be run at the same time.

You can retrieve your promotion code through your IX Web Hosting Control Panel by clicking on the Marketing Center in the main menu.

If you require assistance in regards to your advertisement account with any of the search engines, we recommend that you contact the search engine directly. We don't have access to the search engine's systems and therefore our ability to assist is limited. If you have any question that you feel we can answer, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll do our best to provide you with an answer or guide you in the right direction.

Yes, you absolutely can. The coupons we provide you with for the search engines are not tied to which domains you host with IX Web Hosting. Once you open an account with one of the search engines, you can advertise any website you like there; it doesn't have to be hosted with us.
