Clicking on the Google Ad on our page wouldn't charge anything for Google Adwords. They actually pay US to be on the page. You would just be going to an advertiser's site. My money is on the fact that it was a "Get Rich With Google Adwords" type offer somehow billed to you.
In the statement online, it said google adwords, google(.)com (I put these () so it doesn't make the link here). I have no idea if it was anything else like the trial service deal you mentioned. I haven't visited any sites or done any offers related to google or money making trials at all - I avoid those sorts of things! I have a gmail account, but don't even use google outside of that, either.
I did click on the google ad on the forum tonight to see what it was, and I saw that just clicking on it, of course, wouldn't be giving anything out.
I don't seem to have any spyware or adware on my computer, and I have only shopped thru secure sites the last week that I have done shopping; haven't done any paid offers this month, either.
My DH called the cc company and they will credit my account the amount of this charge, and they didn't say anything, yet, about canceling the card. So I guess we shall see how this shakes out. I would really really like to find out how this charge got on my card, tho!
