(Businessweek) — Google is offering a select number of smaller advertisers a new way to pay for online search ads: a credit card that can only be used to pay for AdWords, the Internet search giant’s keyword advertising program. Google is teaming up with World Financial Capital Bank to offer a “beta” version of a new AdWords Business MasterCard. The card is being offered to a randomly selected group of U.S.-based advertisers. The card will allow small and mid-sized businesses to spend on advertising when they need to, such as before a peak selling season, and pay for it when revenue comes in, a Google spokesman says.
