As you might know, Google AdWords is a service that allows registered customers to advertise their site on Google's index after a user performs a search based on a specific keyword. The service tends to become very popular, representing an important way to attract visitors to your webpage and improve site traffic.

Because Google AdWords allowed users to advertise their business through their site, customers that don't own a webpage are unable to use the service. Today, a Google employee announced that you can advertise with Google even if you don't own a website, by using a new feature added to the service.

"Hosted business pages, a new feature for AdWords Starter Edition, will let you do just that. A hosted business page is an informational webpage that new advertisers can create when they sign up for AdWords Starter Edition. You can use a hosted business page to tell people more about your business when they click on your ad.

For example, if you own a restaurant, you might write about your award-winning cannoli; if you are a tailor, potential customers would be thrilled to read about your 48 hour turnaround on alterations," Trevor, Inside AdWords crew, said.

"Hosted business pages are now available for new US advertisers using AdWords Starter Edition. It's important to note that a hosted business page is not a full-featured website with its own domain name, but rather a single landing page for your AdWords ads. Hosted business pages are free with a new AdWords account, and can be set up with no knowledge of HTML," he added.
