"Unfortunately for the young musician, Google's AdWords programme is for those wishing to advertise at cost, rather than run advertisements for profit."
'A child in Spain has received a bill of €100,000 from Google after confusing its AdWords and AdSense services. ', "The child's parents have reportedly sought legal advice, although El País reckons Google's swift decision to cancel the bills suggests that won't be necessary. ®", "José Javier, 12, had signed up for Google's AdWords programme in order to make money from advertisements placed alongside YouTube videos of his band, the Torrevieja llamada Los Salerosos – en inglés, the Torrevieja Fun Guys – named after the Alicante town in which he lives."
'According to a report Spanish daily El País, José and a friend planned to buy instruments, play music, get rich and buy a mansion by subscribing to the service. '
