Google Inc is launching a credit card for advertisers in a move to increase ad spending as the competition in the market is growing.

The card will be offered to select Google’s clients in the US with a competitive interest rate, says Google. The card features ample credit line and no annual fee, and can be used only for paying for search advertising on the search engine website.

The AdWords Business credit card allows businesses to spend more on Google’s search ads when their needs arise.

Google experienced a glitch of its AdWords service in the UK. The service mistakenly credited huge sums of money into an unknown number of UK customers' AdWords accounts after they tried to redeem Google’s vouchers at £100.

Pete Williams told that Google mistakenly credited £75,000 into his account after he redeemed the voucher.

"I got one of these and let Google know via their @AdWords twitter account – no response yet. Obviously I've not spent a penny of it, but it appears other people have!" he said.

Google has announced new ways of support for its AdWords customers. Previously the company offered email and online support and now free phone support became available. According to the official statement of Google, now the clients from US and Canada who have questions about their accounts or advertising campaigns can call an AdWords specialist. The call is free.

After a year of trial Google is launching its new AdWords feature called Remarketing. It allows advertisers to reach users on sites within the Google Content Network, as they browse the web.

 According to the 2009 Internet Retailer Survey, conducted by BigCommerce, a great number of online retailers are new to selling online. The survey shows that most popular products include apparel, software and computers/accessories with major part of sales coming from online stores.
