Google Fucked Me

WTF. I signup for an adwords account just to test things out... Start up a campaign about a month ago to TEST things out... Make my initial deposit of $50 w/ my credit card and i just logged into my account and it seems they've automatically reloaded my account several times and charged up quite the bill.

WTF

Adwords is not a prepay type search engine. They bill you after you receive the traffic and YOU had the choice on what monthly maximum you wanted to set. Google did nothing wrong here.

Maybe you signed up for automatic charges accidentally?

You should consider putting a monthly limit on how much you want charged or you will end up broke before you know if the traffic is converting.
