A way to a free domain?

[Brad]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was a way I can get "google ads" on my forum/website, and Get paid. But I want google to pay for a domain for having google ads on my forum/website, insted of giving me the money. Is it possible?

Thanks.

Maybe, but I think somewhere down the line you'll need a credit card. I don't think you can directly buy from your adsense account and you'll probably need something like Google Checkout, which in turn requires a credit card and if you owned a credit card then you wouldn't be asking. I think asking Google support is your best option, because it's about them 🙂

 

[Brad]

Well yea.. I'd be easyer.. I was just asking. Thanks,

Umm my mate at school runs the school website like that i'm sure i could ask him HOW but i'm not confident he will reveal his secrets 😛

Don't cheat your way out of things. The best way is to pay for it legitimately with a verified PayPal (credit card or bank account) account.

Google support

No such thing.

Google support

No such thing.

Justification?

I just suppose this is of no relevance to "support": http://www.google.com/support/forum/ There are representatives from Google who help out.

Matt Cutts provides tutorials and answers questions on his blog. That is support.

Google is fairly well known for not offering any real support. Yes, they have a support forum, but you rarely see a rep from Google there. It tends to just be peer to peer support.

They do offer email support, for 6 specific issues..

Note that I didn't say "ask Google"; I said ask "Google support". Yes, you rarely see Google reps, but at least they are there. Also, top contributors there can only provide as much support as Google reps are willing to.

My point is that there are no people you could really talk to if you were willing to do this. Google just don't make themselves accessible.

I don't think it's possible.

Best thing to do is wait for payment from Google then use it to buy your domain.

Ah, so that's why Matt Cutts answers user questions via YouTube and his blog :roll:

Domains and adsense aren't exactly his fields - he works in SEO.

They have relevance to each other, but that's beside the point. You say that Google doesn't provide first hand support. I showed you an example.

 

[Jonathan]

Lol. It's not official support, though. And that one guy can hardly answer all Google support questions. Or all of the individuals that maybe have blogs and work at Google.

Besides, Google would never buy a domain for someone to put their ads on it. Not how they work.

 

[David]

Yeah, back on topic. 😛

Google would never be a direct medium for domain purchase. The closest you'd be getting one from Google is through Google Checkout and then through Google.
