Follow these steps to sign up for AdWords:
Go to the sign-in page for Google AdWords and click the Start Now button.
You need a Google account to sign up for AdWords.
Sign up for a brand-new account or sign in to an existing account:
If you don’t have an account: Select the I Do Not Use These Other Services radio button, and follow the prompts to set up your account.
If you have an account you’d like to add AdWords to: Select the I Have an Email Address and Password option and then the I’d Like to Use my Existing Google Account for AdWords option.
If the e-mail address you choose is associated with another AdWords account, you’ll have to choose a different address or create a new e-mail address to use with AdWords. You can only have one AdWords account associated with an e-mail address. However, you can have as many different e-mail addresses associated with a single AdWords account as you want.
Use your Google account username and password to sign in to AdWords.
Select the country, time zone, and currency you’ll be paying in (USD$ is the default), and click Continue.
The settings on this page cannot be changed after you click Continue.
Google sends an e-mail message to your Google account e-mail address to verify the account creation.
When you receive the e-mail, click the link in it to go to the AdWords verification page.
