在西班牙,，一個(gè)12歲的小男孩,，犯下了一個(gè)代價(jià)高昂的錯(cuò)誤。

這位名叫荷西·賈維爾的小男孩是Los Salerosos樂(lè)隊(duì)的小號(hào)手,。他希望通過(guò)谷歌的廣告平臺(tái)AdSense宣傳自己的樂(lè)隊(duì),，結(jié)果收到了一份高達(dá)11.2萬(wàn)美元的賬單,。據(jù)CNBC報(bào)道,，產(chǎn)生這份賬單的原因是，他把AdSense和谷歌另一個(gè)廣告平臺(tái)AdWords混為一談,。

賈維爾顯然沒(méi)有意識(shí)到,，AdWords會(huì)按照廣告點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)，向賬戶持有人收費(fèi),。而他本打算使用的平臺(tái)AdSense則允許人們通過(guò)自己的廣告賺錢,。

據(jù)《問(wèn)詢報(bào)》報(bào)道,，為了拒絕這份賬單，小男孩的家人甚至提起了訴訟,。幸運(yùn)的是,，谷歌原諒了賈維爾的錯(cuò)誤： 這家科技公司雖然有一個(gè)頁(yè)面專門解釋AdWords和AdSense的區(qū)別，但它還是取消了該賬單,。

A 12-year-old boy in Spain just made a very expensive mistake.

José Javier, a trumpet player in a band called Los Salerosos, racked up a $112,000 (€100,000) bill when he was trying to promote his band via Google’s advertising platform AdSense. But he confused it with Google’s other advertising platform, AdWords, according to CNBC.

Javier apparently didn’t realize that AdWords charges the account holder each time someone clicks on their advertisement. AdSense, the platform he intended to use, allows people to make money from their advertisements.

The boy’s family reportedly sought legal action to combat the bill, The Inquirer reports. But fortunately for Javier, Google let the mistake slide: The tech company cancelled the bill, despite having a page that explains the difference between AdWords and AdSense.

“We have looked into this case and we haven’t received any money from the user. We are canceling the outstanding AdWords balance. Many online services, including Google GOOGL -0.57% AdWords, have age limits,” Google told Fortune in a prepared statement.
