Just a quick one. You can get £20 worth of free advertising on Google here.
However, do be careful - monitor the amount that you've been given, as once you spend past the £20 you start paying from your own pocket.

Assuming I go ahead with their advertising, I'll come back to this forum to advise others of how successful it has been at promoting my rental apartment in La Manga, Spain.
My 3 days has passed (as of 1pm this afternoon) - and no code yet!!!
I'll wait until 1pm Tuesday - (the working day scenario) and see what happens.
Come on google! I wanna advertise!!!!
The good news is that I’ve still got £15 worth of credit left (original free £20 minus the standard £5 activation fee), so at least all of this experimentation is not costing me anything yet !
If I find a magical solution and start to receive a significant increase in the number of clicks/hits, I'll come back and let everyone know how I did it.
Instead use less obvious and slightly less relevant keywords which may have been overlooked by the masses. Okay your traffic may be less but so will your keyword cost - and not everybody uses the most obvious searches on Google (especially when it produces 1,456,000 matches) and your carefully chosen keywords may appeal to those visitors who don't!
It's better to have the Ad show up less times but more targeted otherwise you'll be paying for people clicking your Ad to see if it's what they're looking for.
