Avoiding Penny Scams

Submitted: 2010-08-30 21:35:45

To begin, understand that you are not actually paying a penny every time you bid; your bid may be one penny but you are also paying for the actual bid. This means you are paying to press the bid button, and paying the amount you bid. It is very important to make that distinction so you do not press that "Bid" button multiple times, not knowing that you are being charged each for each click of the mouse.

An Important Google Article! Must Read !!!!

While searching the Internet between writing articles and working on my sites, I came across an article that I felt so strong about that I thought would be perfect to include here. Because I only write articles about my personal experience's, I couldn't write one on the same subject.

So I decided to ask the author if I could insert his article on my site, and he agreed that it would be OK. Please pay attention because this scam almost got me. Don't be fooled! So, here it is:

Google Money Scams Gone Wild

Is anyone else tired of all the Google Money System Scams overflowing online today?Posting Links For Google, Google Money Tree, Google Money Master , Google Profits ,Fast Google Cash ,I swear the list is growing every day. I have written a fair amount about the subject , but this is because the general public still is not as well informed as they should be.

I admit I have not purchased all of the Google Money System courses available online. How could I? There is literally hundreds. In my opinion most of these Google Cash courses provide some information on how to use Google to earn your piece of the online pie. They also provide alot of old an outdated methods on how to earn it. Unfortunately the reason most people fall prey to these Google peddlars is a lack of knowlege in working from home.

Todays economy is in bad shape and only looks to get worse in the near future. This has caused a noticable jump in the amount of people looking for employment online. There just is not enough jobs to go around. This is where Google Scams prey on innocent people.

A typical Google Scam will include a website with some man or women telling you the hard luck story of how they lost their job....thats until they found (insert Google Scam) Whatever name they might choose to call it somehow changed their lives. 5500.00 seems to be the average amount the Google Scam artist will tell you they make per month.. but wait you can make even more from Google if you spend more then a half hour per day.

Then the testimonials follow!! Frank D. made 1500.00 his first week. Joey from Idaho made 8500.00 his first month and so-on. I love this part.. You will get paid every week like clockwork. Yeah right!! Google pays once a month folks and that is if you meet the payment threshold. Making money with Google is all about a program called Google Adsense. This program is free to join. Once approved by Google for a adsense acct Google will display contexual ads relevant to your website content . You will get paid when an interested consumer clicks on an ad they are interested in. Its that simple.

Please.... Dont fall for these Google Money Scams!! In the end you will lose money by paying for something you can learn for free, In fact if you would like to learn more about Google Adsense and how to make money with Google then Hubpages is an excellent resource. You will find many authors here who are very experienced in marketing online and using Google Adsense to earn a living.

I also make money with Google Adsense writing here on Hubpages. I also make money with adsense on some of my other websites.

If you would be interested in learning more about making money online , and using the power of Google Adsense combined with a free money making website go to "Trusted Online Information" and check out all the legitimate work at home opportunities.

Well, Things Sure Did Change!!

Well, what do you know. SALES!!!! Yeah baby, its about time. I've been so down in the dumps, and the depression has been SOOOOOO bad. Maybe that crappy time is finally over. After my sales just suddenly stopped, I figured someone was ripping me off again.

I sent emails to everyone I could to question what was going on. The answers I got back were pretty much the same, my commissions were not being stolen. I just wasn't making any sales. That was so hard to believe because things were just starting to go good.

I've just kept up with my marketing, trying some different stuff. I started to try other products, wrote new articles and adds and just kept at it. I downloaded some free reports and videos, and tried some different keyword research.

Then some strange but GOOD stuff just started to happen. I started to make some sales,and they continue today. So the best reason I can come up with as to why things went nuts is, me and Google.

Google just about runs the Internet. You have no choice but to believe it, because its true. And you have to do everything, and I do mean everything, on the Internet the way Google wants you to, or you get absolutely nowhere.

Google will make or break you, and that's a fact, period. And its not that you do anything wrong, you just have to do things the way Google wants you to. If you FOLLOW their way, you can make a whole lot of money.

So, just doing things right is not enough, you have to do things right according to the BOSS. Once you learn how the boss expects things to be done, you just do it that way and the money will flow.

So, for now, I'm real happy. I'm just beginning to really get it. I'm working on all my sites, one at a time. A few changes have to be made to get all my sites flowing on a nice smooth and steady road.

Oh, by the way, the "Sleeper Site" that started making sales is one of the first sites I put together. You can see it here:

Make Life Size Posters And Stand Ups

That's it for now. My next post will be in a few days. By then I think my other sites will be moving too. The traffic has already started to pick up on most of them. A few more days and some tweaking, should get them going.

Good Luck to us all!!

I'm Fed UP!!!

I'm so fed up with these affiliate programs. I work very hard every day, with only frustration to show for it. I guess I shouldn't be upset at the affiliate programs, because I know for a fact that They Do Work, I'm proof of that.

I guess my problem is with the thieves out there. The people that are the scum of the earth, that can only steal to live. They don't do one honest thing to earn money. These are the thieves I'm pretty sure of have somehow stolen my affiliate commissions.

About 2 months ago I was beginning to do real good with affiliate programs. It was really nice to wake up in the morning and find that I had sales from overnight. And then all of a sudden, it all just stopped.

I never stopped running ads or writing articles, the money just stopped. And it all began with someone getting into my back office on an article directory, and they added content to one of my articles, that made no sense. Plus a few other strange things.

Well anyway, I still haven't quit. I started to search the Internet and came on a venture that at first, I dismissed as a joke. The crazy thing is that the more I researched it, the more interested I became.

Now don't blow this off just yet, because with anything else, you can find good and bad. What you have to do is compare the good against the bad, and see which comes out on top. I'm talking about Gifting.

Not the old scams that were running around for years, where you send a dollar to 5 names on a list, then you put your name on the list and remove the top name. That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about a real, honest, legal group of people that gift others in need. It goes back to the old way, when neighbors helped each other in times of need. And right now most of us are in need.

In the more than 10 years I've been online, I have always helped people to stay away from scams. I don't knowingly promote SCAMS, I help people, and that's exactly what I'm doing here.

Help me, help you, in these very hard times. All I ask is that you just check this out. Not just anyone of the many gifting programs, but the one I'm talking about. I want you to check out this one and then check out a few others.

You'll see some amazing differences between this one and all the others. Don't blow it off until you just check it out.

I know you'll be very glad you did!
