Internet Money Making Scams

As the internet has grown so have the scams.  one of the reasons that Internet Money Scams have grown is due to the low cost or even free.  This makes it difficult for people like you and me who are trying to make an honest living and make money online.

Like many others I hae fallen fowl of many scams over the years which has left me fuming to say the least.  It is for this reason  i put this page together to reveal some of the scams around

The beauty of the Internet is that you can make legitimate money whilst working hours that suite you from home whether it be via ebay, affiliate schemes, adsense etc and can quit the office if you are prepared to work hard. a truckload of money out here. Yes, you really could quit your full time job if you work hard.

The bad news is most people either don't want to work hard and think they can throw a site online and it will earn, or they buy into some scam that causes them o waste money they could have used to invest in a real, legitimate venture and get put off for liofe.

Get Paid To Surf / Internet Survey Scams

Yes, I admit i see these advertised everywhere and have tried them myself over the years before i got wise.

It sounds easy right?  All you have to do is surf the web, fill out some surveys, answer some emails and they'll send you a check every month or even better load some program on your computer that cost say $2.99 and it doies it for you

If only it was that simple then we would all be laughing

Most of these "pay to surf" programs want you to pay money upfront.  This is how they make their bread and butter.

And don't be fooled by the money-back guarantee they offer because usually in order to get your money back you have to sign up with a certain number of companies and perform various tasks before you even qualify for the refund which has probably cost you more money and wasted loads of time.

You may also come across some companies boasting their programs are free.  I would still beware.  There is always a catch.  In most cases, they make it so difficult to earn enough credits to get paid, most people quit.  And even though entry is free, you may still have to pay a third party down the line as you start completing the surveys hosted by other companies. 

I'm not saying you can't make money from some of these programs, but I would highly recommend you do some thorough research and ask a lot of questions before joining any of them. The ones I've seen thus far have all been purely bogus and a complete rip-off!

Scams on Google Adsense

It was only a matter of time before someone would try and sell "systems" that will supposedly help webmasters get-rich-quick with the program.

If you haven't heard about it then I am surprised.  Where have you been hiding?  Adsense is a revolutionary free program offered by Google that allows webmasters to help them advertise by posting text ads on their web pages.  You earn money for every click each ad receives.

All you need is a website with some unique content centered around a theme.  The topic could be on almost anything.  I use Adsense on all my sites and have in fact created information sites which i include adsense and other affiliate schemes on and earn a nice income.

The concept is quite simple.  The more information you have on your site, the greater the traffic potential from the free search engines.  The more traffic you have, the more you'll earn from Adsense.

Many webmasters are cleaning up with the program, and it really is one of the easiest ways to make online.  Your only investment is your website since the Adsense program is free to join. 

Here Come The Adsense Scams....

Of course, since the program has a huge profit potential there will always be people who try to create "shortcuts" that claim to make it "easier" for people to make money.

Well, they're not making it easier on you at all.  They are just making you think they can simplify the process, when in reality they're making it even more difficult to earn in the long run.

I recently heard of a program called "Adsense Ready" that will allow you to download hundreds of pre-written web pages (so you don't have to write your content yourself). 

In minutes you can have tons of articles at your fingertips and create your website in a flash.  Sounds great right?

WRONG ..... Search Engines including google ignore copycat sites with duplicate content so as time passes more and more people will buy these sites probably on ebay for a few dollars and put them up in the hope they wil make money.

Unfortunately your site will be ignored or rank so poorley that no one will ever find it to click the ads and so will never make money

The only way you can make money with  Adsense is getting visiotrs to your site so people see the ads and click them.

So, how are you going to get visitors to your site if search engines ignore them as this is the biggest source of traffic to most peoples sites.
