01/07/08 Charge Me Twice Google…
CHICAGO, UNITED STATES (Team Geared Up) - I’ve said this before but I don’t think they heard. Why can’t I channel my AdSense earnings directly back into my AdWords spend?
I’d feel like my advertising was costing me nothing.
My daily spend budget would never go over my daily earnings.
Google get to take commission twice.

Shit, you’re right. I feel a little stupid for not having realised that before.
What about Google Checkout? Can you use revenue earned through that for buying AdWords from them? I want to say “at least PayPal let you buy through them with revenue earned through them”, but the alternative would be forcing you to withdraw from them, then credit your PayPal account, which as ludicrous as that is, is exactly what Google are doing!
Great post.
The only thing I can think of is it might lower Google’s earnings - i.e. there’d be a lack of incoming cash into the system. That said I don’t think there’s too much overlap of the 2 systems (people who run ads who also spend on them). I’m sure they can match up accounts to do the sums - it would certainly make me put 100% of my incoming revenue on AdSense back into visits.
