onlinemoneywizard.co.uk - A new scam site out to get you

Another site that just has a failing casino system to offer, admittedly the guy has gone to some trouble to disguise it and it's not as obvious as most of them out there but the predicted earnings and sign-up system are a dead give away. Perhaps the most disgusting thing about this site is the line -

"Our goal is to increase the wealth of people in the Uk in the view
that individuals that apply this system will eventually feel the need to make
donations from there winnings."

Stay away from this one!

Money Siphon System - moneysiphonsystem.com - What A Scam

This has scam written all over it, it's basically a re-packaged e-book on selling on teh internet, all the information can be found for free and there although they do their best to bulk the package out by filling it with lots of useless bits of info too, I'd stay well away from this product.

Given, it's only $4.95, so you won't lose too much but the site itself is a hassle and an obvious scam - claiming to be mentioned on sites such as google, yahoo, msn etc (indeed it is but only because they bought google ads!) and listing numerous dodgy testimonies to try and sell you the product.

Maxbounty - A scam or not?

Maxbounty are a major affiliate and banner network, whilst many people seem to do quite well from it, others are reporting enormous losses and that the company fail to pay or find a way out. Of course the people who are doing well out of it, support it with an unhealthy passion which sort of poses the question that if a company scams one person but treats another one well, how can it be considered a scam.

Obviously Maxbounty also have to protect their earnings and with a lot of people using black hat methods and driving fraudulent traffic to their sites, they need to look closesly at the clicks received. It seems to me to be a case of everyone trying to scam each other and some genuine users losing out in the process.

Look at other options and if you still decide you like the look of Maxbounty, then go ahead but proceed with caution!

GoDaddy discount code - saving is making

I've decided that I will regularly post godaddy discount codes, these tend to vary and they are also updated quite often, sometimes you can get 10% off, sometimes more, sometimes you can pick up a domain name for no more than $2, either way if you are trying to make money on the web and you need some of their services, the chances are that the codes will come in handy. Here's one of the most recent ones:

Type the promo code "gdr0723pl" at checkout and you will be given $15 off on any order of $75 or more.

Review Stream - A review site with a difference

Reviewstream.com seems to be coming in for some bad stick, I was recommended to it by a fellow dooyooer and appreciated the advice. Reviewstream works in a similar way to dooyoo but both its interface and the way it works is quite a bit different. First of all, unlike on Igougo and Ciao, you can't simply copy over your review that you've used there. That's not to say that you can't write about the same product that you have done on here but it has to be original work.

Next up, the layout of the website is pretty scrappy and unlike here where you have a given username, there you have a temporary pen name and an e-mail address which is tied to the review.

It's a common mistake to assume that all review sites want the same material but just because reviewstrea say they accept reviews on everything from Paris to your grandmother's cat, it doesn't mean they'll pay well for it. In my experience - reviews of around 300 words or more of things like restaurants, hotels and airlines will earn you the $2 a review. Reviewstream.com can reject your review if they don't want it or find that it's not specific enough and they may also pay you the bulk rate which is usually $0.40 - if they do want it but it's not as good as they'd like.

Once you've reached the $50 limit, you receive payment - I've not got that far yet but I hear they pay relatively quickly.

I like the facility where you can check the progress of your review by typing in your e-mail address. With a little bit of practice, it's easy to find out what sort of reviews float their boat and make a tidy profit from the site. The payment status is updated usually within 72 working hours since the submission of the review, although in my experience they don't always keep to their promise.

grantmecash.net - a review site scam

Lately one of the most common scam websites to appear is the one which doesn't directly sell you anything but instead acts as a go between, this site which uses a simple wordpress template, looks slightly different from your average scam site as it doesn't make any insane claims but the links to the websites will take you to those kind of sites which is where the scam is at.

grantnow.com - Another grant scam supposedly recommended by CNN

Grantnow.com is yet another website with an irritating man at the bottom telling you why you should buy the product. The product offers nothing new to the buyer and nothing beneficial at all - instead you will be forking out a small bit of money out. As we know almost anything with "As seen on" is a scam.

googlekits.com - A google cashkit scam

Apart from acquiring an excellent domain name, googlekits have really let themselves down with a messy layout that doesn't really grab you! This obvious scam site with a fake cheque photo, a list of tick off items that should take you financial freedom and an annoying female cartoon in the corner offers the reader nothing new, they will take a small amount of money from you but the only thing they'll offer in return is a way of making money which doesn't work.

get-money-online.com - should be call get scammed!

There aren't many fair players when it comes to the world of fast cash and Paul Gets Money Online is a standard blog that plays on people's needs for money. The photos of the characters are probably the most entertaining thing about this website - I don't think it's much of a selling point!

Fake cheques and testimonies are as expected and parts of it are re-used on other similar blogs. This time they are selling the "google money system" which is a complete falsity - AVOID!

freddysblog.com - yet another grant scam

This is one of the many relatively average looking people (at least as far as baseball caps Americans go!) who claims to have done well for himself just as he was stuck in a rut.

The blog is a simple scam with a fake cheque and testimonies and hopes to lure you into paying a small fee for a completely pointless grant package. Do not waste time or money here!

fastgooglecash.info - another fast cash scam

This guy claims to be Jon Gardner, one of the many people out there using the same template and similar story of an average person with a remarkable success story.

Indeed it is remarkable, that's because it's untrue, fake cheques and testimonies attempt to back up a fairly obvious scam - the google product being pedalled is worthless and although it's "free" - you will have to pay for shipping and you will hand over details which will then be sold on. Undesirable, I'm sure you'll agree so stay away!

earnonlinesite.ch.tf - Kevin scam uses really odd url

Odd domain name endings often raise suspicion, this is one ending that I've never seen before although I imagine it is the tk version for Switzerland, either way this isn't a case of looks deceiving and it is the well known Kevin scam which appears on various other websites. They use both fake cheques and testimonies to lure people in to buying the google checkout product this time dubbed "google home business kit" which has no link to google whatsoever and is a complete waste of time.

earncashfromgrants.com - A grant scam with a cover

Where as a lot of people plugging these grant scams, don't really bother investing much time in to their website earncashfromgrants.com are the exact opposite, their website is not a blog but a rather corporate webpage, however it still has false claims and although the sign-up process may differ, the result of getting nothing for your money is the same. Steer clear from this site.

downbutneverout.com - don't invest in this scam

These guys might have an excellent domain name but the blog is completely fake and they are basically just ripping you off by getting you to sign up to the google cashkit and free grantkit which are complete scams - offering you no new information but costing you a small fee for "shipping", what's more is they will then have your e-mail address too to send to numerous spammers.

debtfreekelly.com - A scam and waste of money

This website is definitely something you do not want to invest money in, it has scam written all over it to someone who knows what to look for. The cheque is fake and used on hundreds of other blogs, the story is the same old spiel and all she wants to do is sell you 3 pointless products. Admittedly these are at a low price but if she finds enough buyers, she does well. If she is a she of course!

debt-free-debbie.com - The google checkout scam woman

This website is a carbon copy of the website debt-free-dave.com, all they are doing is selling extremely worthless google checkout and grant packages which don't make anyone a profit except for them. Do not waste your money here.

davidsmoneyblog.com - A different David, the same scam

This website is fake from start to finish, pictures with a puppy - how corny can you get? The mentioned on CNN etc are typical of these scam artists, often faked but even if they are shown, it is usually in a bad light. Stay well away from this person who is just peddling the same google checkout product.

davidscreditstory.com - David scam artist is back on the scene

Yes, you'll notice that this guy has quite a few websites and this is one of the many google checkout and grant offerings that he has - both of which are completely pointless products that only make him money, even though it's just a small amount each time. Steer clear of this con artist

debt-free-dave.com - Another google cash kit scammer

This guy is selling two of the most common scams out there, the google cashkit program and a book about grants, don't believe his hype, the cheques are fake and you'll notice that it says 2 comments and then proceeds to list 10 - this is an automated programme and therefore the comments are completely faked too. Stay away from this one!

coreycash.com - corey gets money - yeah from a scam!

Corey gets money is one of the many google cash scams with the same pictures as numerous other sites, fake testimonials, fake cheques and belongs to the Hoeffner group of scams. Don't give this guy any money, you'll regret it!

carlcreatescash.com - Another grants and google cashkit scam

Two of the most prominent make money scams out there at the moment is the google cash kit scam which claims there is a way to make money out of an unknown trick with google, they show proof of a fake cheque usually and another one is a claim that it's easy to get grants from the US government when you have the right knowledge. Both of these books are usually sold for a small fee and you also give them your details which will result in being spammed a-plenty in the future.

Stay away from this guy's site, it's a typical Hoeffer scam!

bethsmoney.net - bethsmoney is a scam!

Bethsmoney.net is another ending domain linked to .org and .com - this is a page that you want to avoid. Check out my post on bethsmoney.com for more info!

bethsmoney.org - a carbon copy of bethsmoney.com scam

Indeed this person has just bougth the domain name to both sites - as mentioned in the previous post, this is a google cashkit related scam and most definitely worth avoiding.

bethsmoney.com - a scam claiming to be christian!

As I've mentioned before with these google cashkit/ google money scams that have no link to google whatsoever, they try to cover all the bases by making themselves sound similar to potential readers - that means that you can find them pretending to be everyone from a christian mom through to a car adjusting home boy.

Bethsmoney.com is a complete scam that should be stayed away from, the testimonies are fake, the cheques are fake and her religious qualities are most definitely fake!

Benbanksit.com - Another grants scam

benbanksit.com uses the same photo and storyline as so many scam artists out there, if you've been browsing get rich or make money pages online for any length of time, you'll be familiar with the format. This grant product is a waste of time and the cheque is faked. It uses exactly the same photo as another similar site dedicated to a Kevin Hoeffner.

anthonyisgreen.com - more like Anthony is a scam!

Anthonyisgreen.com is one of many similar scams that use a friendly looking face and a pleasant life story to appeal to you, in reality it is probably the same person with hundreds of different sites. Here they make a small profit selling you a useless google cash kit like product for a small fee and collect your e-mail address to sell it. Stay well away!

apply4grants.com - a cheap scam

Apply4grants.com is one of the many government grant scams out there, ironically there site also warns you of the perils of government grant sites which are scams but they use the old track of saying "mentioned on ABC, Oprah & CNN" and a whole host of other channels, pay $3.95 for a CD and that's how they make their money. It's not a huge loss but it's one to be aware of!

akabeezy.com - A regular scam with a touch of bling

One of the biggest scams out there today is claims that it is easy to get grants from the US government and that these "salesman" (can you call them that?) will show you exactly how to do it. Of course, there are just a few people behind this kind of offer but they need to present themselves in everyway possible so that people from all kinds of walks of life will feel they have something in common to the person selling the product.

In this case, it's the bling clad rapper look a like Beezy who clearly tries to pull a young audience with his use of slang. Stay away!

kevingotmoney.com - should be called kevin got money from a scam!

Any sites with a name and the word money in should be approached with extreme caution, having been on the look out for scams for some time, I can spot one from a mile off and this has scam spelt all over it.

The claims that you can make huge profits from posting links on google are false but a well used attempt to seperate you from your money. The template and positive feedback has all been used before on other sites and this website will probably be closed down eventually - in the mean time, stay away!

johnsincomeblog.com - google rapid profit generator scam

There are numerous hustlers out there trying to sell products related to earning money through google adsense, often what will happen is that you have to pay a fee and they give you a set website, which you are then supposed to post content with a high adsense CTR, in some cases they get an automated clicker to click on your ads to keep you happy at the beginning but adsense are quick to act and close you down.

One of the internet rules is don't mess around with google and if you get sucked in to these ridiculous "google cash generator", "google cashkit" or "google rapid profit generator", you are going to be worse off. These products are not affiliated with google. Stay away!

joejenkins.ws - Gdi Scam Artist

The Gdi Scams have been taking off on .ws domain names of late and one of the most advertised ones that I've come across so far is joejenkins.ws, when you click this link it forwards you immediately to the GDIgoldrush page with a referral ID.

Don't fall for this one - for more info on why you should be wary of GDI - check out this post

Saving Tips No. 1 - Cut baby wipes, cut the cost

Although not directly related to earning money online, I thought I'd start a new section called "Saving Tips" revolving around good ways to save money. After all, saving money is just as good as making it.

Recently, I became a father and like all babies - my daughter needs a fair amount of nappy changes throughout the day, at least one and sometimes two or three baby wipes are used at every nappy change, however the butt to baby wipe ratio is not exactly 1:1, so I often find myself folding over the baby wipes.

It occured to me that cutting them in half would save 50% of the cost on baby wipes and wouldn't effect the outcome of the wipe.

Andruchi.com - In depth info but definitely a scam

I generally warn against dipping into the world of casino, especially if you are looking to make a bit of money as it's a place you are more likely to lose money unless you have an amazing talent for poker.

There are loads of casino systems out there but generally the casino wins, Andruchi.com seem to own rouletteflaw.com as well which is a definite scam and a nasty one at that. This may win initially a little bit but over the long-term you are going to come out a loser, yet the owner of Andruchi.com makes money from the affiliate sign-up.

Stay away!

greendayreviews.com - An old scam in a new package

There are many sites which follow in a similar fashion to this one, he claims to be a powerseller on e-bay, they claim to have a flawless casino system and yet they are giving the information away - then below you'll see a supposedly convincing youtube video of doing well from it.

Don't believe the hype though, this casino scam is widely re-packaged and is only supposed to be attractive so that you sign up through the website's affiliate links with casinos which makes them a profit.

easycasinoprofits.com - A scam - the only person making easy profits is this site

This scam uses the famously simple and completely ineffective yet promising looking system that involves betting on high, middle or low depending on the sequence of results. It may look good onpaper but it honestly fails very badly in action.

This website has affiliate links for you to sign up to 888.com and RushmorecasinoUSA.com, his job is not for you to win but for you to sign up and deposit money with either of these companies, therefore it's his job to make the system sound like it will work. Don't be fooled!

casinoexpertonline.com - A scam, spin the wheel at your risk

Casinoexpertonline.com is one of the many roulette scams out there on the web. The saying "there's one born every minute" about people who fall for a scam is the basis on which these unwanted scam meisters operate.

A well known roulette system which works well in free play and often for a little bit on the regular tables but ultimately fails in the long-term and will result in you losing lots of money is recommended here. Don't believe the author of the site, he wants nothing but for you to sign up through his affiliate links which is where he makes the money.

Rouletteflaw.com - might as well call the site roulette scam!

When it comes to looking for money making opportunities on the net, it really pays to have a think about where the site is making money and to plug your brain in and to apply common sense, follow the old hackneyed rule "if it's too good to be true, it probably is". Like so many roulette sites out there, they claim that this sytem goes undetected by the casino and they are doing it just to help people. What rubbish, the owner of this site gives you two links to "exploitable casinos" and that's where he makes his money - you sign up to those casinos and he gets money as an affiliate.

The system works on paper but in reality it's far more complicated, the fact that you try it in free mode and works is the reason he's rich! Stay away from this.

earnontheweb.ws - A compilation of pointless products

.ws domain names seem to be all the rage today and you can be sure that they have nothing to offer you, this site leads you to numerous expensive products covering everything from forex products to clickbank ones, on top of that there's a fair bit of spyware/adware involved in some of the products he offers. Stay away!

Will Filtering Adsense Ads Improve My CTR?

You may or not be aware that there is an adsense tool called "competitive filter" which allows you to block up to 200 unwanted google ads.

If you find ads on your site which you believe either to be morally wrong, completely irrelevant or extremely low-paying (those niggly links which only pay 1 or 2 cents!) then you can right click over the link, copy the URL and add it to your competitive filter, the only problem is that if you have a blog in a niche with few relevant ads then it is likely that those ads will be replaced by irrelevant ads or worse yet nothing at all.

You have to be very careful with this tool but unless you are earning big bucks, it's definitely worth toying with it.

Why has my adsense CTR dropped and how can I improve it?

Those who rely on adsense will at some point of their life as a blogger see their CTR wane, it may be at the beginning, it may be later but there are a few things you can do to ensure that you get the best out of your CTR.

Since I changed my blog template, I suffered a drop in CTR and this is likely to do with the fact the black ads were contrasting the white background leading to a brash and bold ad which stood out too much. On your layout page, ensure that the adsense ads match the background.

Other things you can do is ensure that they are borderless, ensure that your keywords which have an effect on the content shown in the adsense ads are relevant. Make sure you place your ads where readers can see them, there's no point having them in a hidden corner. Last of all you can play around with the size of the ad, I have reasonable success with the vertical ad (120 x 600) but traditionally it has a low CTR and the large square (250 x 250) and rectangles (300 x 250) is where the money is.

Last of all and with a lot of thought, you can consider filtering ads - I've dedicated a post to it here.

Once again that's

gdigoldrush.ws - A pyramid scheme scam

Don't be fooled by the promises on offer from GDI, unless you are at the top of the pyramid you are unlikely to make big bucks. Here's the lowdown on what happens:

There is no product for sale, the product is a website for $10 a month, they throw in some free advertising credits which are likely accumulated by spending a fair amount in the first place to get their site known. There's one guy at the top, who is paid $10 every time somebody signs up to GDI, he then pays the referral a small comission - say 10%.

Now, chances are people go out of their way to try to earn money with this scheme by giving it a brilliant testimony and trying to recruit by e-mail, forums, e-zines and the like all whilst filling the pockets of the person who gives you the measly comission. This type of scam has been around for ages and the interest you are likely to gather selling GDI schemes is likely to be waning today. Not surprisingly, I recommend you to invest your money elsewhere.

Think out of the Google Box - Approach the Non-English market

Snubbing the large Chinese, Japanese, Russian or even Polish and Czech market would be a foolworthy thing for any webmaster or blog owner to do. The fact that google is not the no.1 search website in numerous highly populated countries means that submitting your site to those websites and ensuring a good page rank on those sites is an essential part of your plan.

Baidu (China's no.1 search engine) is now big in Japan and even has plans to conquer the Korean and European markets. Submitting your site on there is extremely as it needs to be translated into Chinese, fortunately labour is quite cheap over there and it if you are serious about your site, it shouldn't cost to much to get it translated in to simplified Chinese.

European engines such as wp.pl, onet.pl, seznam.cz, atlas.cz, yandex.ru, rambler.ru are a little easier, often just needing one or two posts in the chosen language, sometimes even a proverb in their mother-tongue is good enough to get you on there. Use google translator to find your way around their sites. Many other countries are worth looking into as people opt for search engines that double as e-mail addresses.

India and China in particular are hugely growing markets and it's well worth spending time improving your SEO there.

Add URL's manually to improve traffic

Whilst some hosting and blogging services do this automatically for you and plenty of other services fight over your custom to submit your site to numerous search engines with a piece of software, the age old trick of submitting it manually is what you should do if you honestly care about your website or blog.

The search engine battle of the mid to late 90s is no more and the majority of English speaking sites have given in to MSN, Yahoo, AOL and of course google. Many of the old sites ust use results from the main 4 and there's no longer any need to submit your site to them if it is even possible. Blog Directories on the other hand are quite the opposite and another post wll cover that topic seperately.

Submit your URL to the following search engines:

Google
Yahoo.com
Msn.com - Livesearch
Comfind.com
Dmoz.org (open directory takes care of AOL searches too)

There are plenty of services that claim to add it to hundreds of search engines but the fact is that most of them are pointless meta search engines which just take info from these major ones.

Beware of a costly E-bay scam related to people buying vouchers

There's numerous reviewing services out there offering Amazon vouchers, there's only so much shopping someone can do on Amazon and if you are earning a fair portion of them, it won't be long before you look to sell them. Whilst it's against Amazon Terms and Conditions, E-bay seem to allow it. Unfortunately the scammers have also found an opportunity here. There are two methods.

1/ Someone buys the voucher from you, you send them the voucher code, they leave you positive feedback (or sometimes none at all), they then claim to have had their account hacked and no nothing about the deal. Paypal refund their money because there's no proof of postage (considering it's an e-mailed item). E-bay are not interested at all.

2/ Someone is genuinely hacked by someone hacking people's accounts to obtain voucher codes but it works the same way as no.1.

It's common for them to buy loads of amazon vouchers from all the dealers on there,so keep in contact with your peers. The best way to prevent this is when it happens to withdraw the money from paypal immediately and call paypal to inform them of what's happened - they should protect your sale. E-bay won't be interested at all though.

powerselleracademy.com - Not a scam but not worth your money!

People have been selling info on e-bay as long as e-bay has existed, especially on how to make money on e-bay. Most people seem to know how to make money on e-bay in their heart but by these books just for confirmation and yet still don't follow the methods. E-bay is quite hard work though and if you want to make a big profit, it reqires a lot of work, it's not for someone to do a few minutes of it a day. This book has nothing new - so do you really need to pay £100 a year for it?

Ping Your Blog Posts to Gain Traffic and Improve SEO: Kingping.com

Another pinging service and one which has a wide range of directories is the website kingping.com, you must register to use it but the registration process is extremely quick, once you are registered you can still submit as many blog URL’s as you like, so this doesn’t rule out people who have more than one. The idea of this is to keep blog directories and search engines informed of your latest blogging activity and to ensure traffic and a more appropriate search engine position.

The website is straight forward enough, the free version is simple but adequate but they do have a more professional service where they charge $1 for the first month and about $17 there after. The service they offer is that they automatically check your feeds several times throughout a day and then ping them.

I’m not sure if this is necessary or worth the money but if you have are a prolific blogger then it may be of use. Kingping ping 60 directories for you covering the UK, US, Germany, Japan, China, Australia, Spanish and French. Once you’ve submitted your site, that’s it – there’s no information whether the ping was successful or not, this leaves me a little curious but may ease others minds.

This seems a reasonable enough service and it’s worth the second it takes to register.

Ping Your Blog Posts to Gain Traffic and Improve SEO: Autopinger.com

Another useful website to ping your blog in order to gain traffic and readers is Autopinger.com, the website looks a little more scrappier with google ads and a sign up section but it’s essentially the same and just as useful as the two other services I have so far mentioned – Pingomatic.com and pingmyblog.com. Fill in your url and then send to all the checked blog directories (both English speaking and foreign) with one clock. The results page is a little awkward, personally I’m not fond of the circular loading action that takes place and the amount of inevitable red crosses and messages saying that your blog has not been successfully pinged looks a little bit worrying at the beginning. To be honest, this seems to vary each time and I’m not sure if it is a problem with their website, the url submitted or the fact that I may have already submitted the link through another pinging service without the website having been updated. Autopinger.com is my least favourite pinging service but mostly due to the website’s layout. I can’t say that it is any less effective, the amount of directories is not that large and by the time 50% of the pings come back negative, it might not be worth your time but considering it only takes a minute or so of effortless input, I tend to do it anyway.

Ping Your Blog Posts to Gain Traffic and Improve SEO - pingomatic.com

Pingomatic.com

The aptly named pingomatic.com is a good resource to use for pinging, pinging is a method used to inform blog directories that your blog has been updated, whilst many blog hosting services do this automatically, they often miss out various services and if you use your blog for commercial use and want to improve traffic then pinging is a useful little trick.

Pingomatic is a simple website, all you have to do is put the title of your website, the url and the feed url if you want. Check the boxes and your website is pinged to the list of 25 or so blog directories in seconds. A report comes back immediately and the website remembers which directories you sent your blog to and the name and url of your blog so that you will never have to fill it in again, that is unless you want to submit numerous blogs in which case you will have to change it unless you have enough separate type of internet browsers to remember different websites.

Even if you do have to fill it in yourself, it only takes a few seconds to do. A useful little website. This is the quickest of the services out there, I’d say.

Ping Your Blog Posts to Gain Traffic and Improve SEO - pingmyblog.com

I've recently reviewed the main pinging websites for some consumer review sites and thought that I would add the info to this blog as I'm sure it will come in handy to some of you:

Pingmyblog.com

For the readers who are not familiar with pinging, it’s an activity undertaken to allow blog directories know that you have updated your blog, it’s a useful source of traffic for a blog not as prolific as backlinks or social bookmarking but useful all the same. Some blogging services such as blogger automatically send pings to the main directories each time you update your blog. Pingmyblog is a collection of around 60 to 70 directories, simply submit your name and url, as well as your feed url if you like, click on “check all” and away you go – pings are sent to every blog directory in a matter of seconds. Japan, Netherlands, Germany and Russia are all amongst the mix and may help you improve international traffic. Pingmyblog.com is not the fastest and it seems a little bit outdated as about 50% of the links don’t actually work but it involves very little effort and takes a matter of minutes. I recommend using this along with another service or two, each time you post a new post.

Poker Star (onlinepokeradvantage.com) - A Poke in the eye with a pointed stick, scam alert!

The people behind pokerstar are having a laugh, they expect you to fork out $49 for information which is widely and freely available at www.pokerroomschool.com, unless you are an extremely good player - poker is no way to make money online and this system is not at all impressive. It doesn't seem to do as though it promises and on top of that there doesn't seem to be any money in at all except for the person who is selling the book and for the casino.

Breakroulette.com - A costly scam

Breakroulette.com is a unique idea if nothing else, in no way does it follow the footsteps of the usual roulette scams but instead involves a small application which is to be run alongside the roulette. This looks impressive as does their snazzy website complete with videos supposedly in "real mode" but it fails where it matters - the results are extremely poor and you will be losing money if you follow this. What's more is that this unconvincing piece of software comes at a cost of around $50!

Add a Digg button to your blogger blog posts and gain traffic

Digg and other social bookmarking networks are a trusty way of gaining traffic to your website, if the content is valuable or interesting, the chances of it getting digged and drawing readers is more likely.

To allow someone to "digg" your blog posts without too much effort, it helps to put a digg button next to your blog posts. Even for people without any technical skills - this is quite straight forward if you have blogger.

This works best in Mozilla Firefox, as the find facility doesn't seem to work on Google Chrome.

Zml.com - A rip off scam of a film site or not?

During the current financial climate, it's to be expected that one of the ways of making money is by saving money and people will be looking to cut costs in every field. Renting or buying DVD's, is bound to be one of these and there are numerous website waiting to prey on people. There have been a few reports of people being charged for their "free trial" at zml.com, a website which supposedly offers you 10 full film downloads for $0.99.

Other zml users say that zml are reasonably fast to answer queries. Because people pay for the service they assume it is not illegal to do or that they won't be caught, however Zml.com's terms of service clearly states that they don't take any of the blame if downloading films is illegal in the user's country. Basically zml.com are just charging for film downloading which is free on P2P services. Personally I would stay clear of them.

Roulettewizard.com - What a scam! Stealing in the name of charity!

This website claim to have "set up a website for £20 knowing that lots of the winnings will go to charity"! This is a lie from the start, they are forking out money on google ads so there is a profit for them. The profit is clear, like lots of other faceless websites out there trying to make you believe that this simple yet ineffective roulette system works. The only ones making money here are the casino and the website through their affiliate banners and ads. Stay away!

Does Affiliano work or is it a scam?

It's a question that I've been asking myself ever since seeing a google ad for them, they claimed to make you $50 a day guaranteed. I can't see how they can guarantee anything, so I think that the advert is immediately misleading.

Although they say "he who dares wins", I'm a bit reluctant to fork out on the hostgator fee that these guys require. They give you a website for free, you choose a template and from then on all you have to do is bring traffic to your site which in turn refers them to affiliano. Affiliano have their tracks covered with numerous of the same articles on sites like ezine articles. A google search questioning whether they work throws up all sorts of irrelevant links.

As far as I can see, they are not really selling a product which must mean they are working in conjuction with hostgator. Perhaps the trick is that they get you to sign up to hostgator, where they themselves are an affiliate, then give you a template and require you to pay the monthly hosting fee which sends traffic to their site which in turn gets them more hostgator referrals.

Although relatively pointless, I suppose this could be profitable. If anyone could shed some light on whether it works, it would be quite good. In the mean time I will continue pondering over their authenticity.

Selling Your Twitter Account or become a dealer!

If you are inventive but lacking funds and don't want to risk buying and selling domain names then twitter accounts could be of interest to you. Twitter have made it big over the last year or so and there's a blooming market for selling twitter accounts with either good names or followings. They can sell from anything for a few dollars to thousands of dollars. This is nothing new but there's plenty of possibilities for good names which can then be used to broadcast news or send people to websites.

Go to Tweexchange.com and search for the name you desire, it will tell you if it is unavailable or available. Play around with this tool until you come up with something good.

Then go to Twitter and registered account - you'll need a different free web based e-mail account for each one you have(it's easy to set up quite a lot of them considering the competition available).

Then list on Tweexchange.com

Simple!

Why you should avoid twtad.com for the moment!

Ok, this is very contradictory as it was only a few ays ago that I was recommending twtad.com on here. There has been substantial changes to the website over the last few days though including a change in owner, the payouts altered to ridiculously low amounts and whilst they are back up for the moment - the rules have changed stating that you must post other things than ads on your twitter account. 5 normal posts between every advert and a limit to how many adverts you should put on over a certain period.

Not only this but there are several reports of people not having their earnings credited. The website might change their ways and the earning problem could be more of a technical issue. In the mean time though, I recommend you focus on something else and avoid running your good name through the mud by recommending it to others.

Oneverysimpleidea.com - A scam worth avoiding

Not every site selling a product is a scam but you just need to look at this pages layout to realise it is one of many similar sites, promising you enormous profits with it's latest way on earning money. Ask yourself, why the author is giving this info away. The fact is there is nothing new in there and they will make good money from the clickbank sale of a product with very little value after having bigged it up on their website. Stay away! All the information you need to get going is available for free on the net, don't begin paying for it!

Earn money with Photoshop

Personally I don't have the patience for photoshop, it's too fiddly for me and I can't seem to get my head around it. Some people are quite the opposite though and are able to play around with photos or edit graphics all day and the outcome can quite often be amazing. If you enjoy using and are good with Photoshop, you may be missing out on a very simple earning option. Edit photos, design graphics or website templates for others and start getting the ball rolling.

You may have to start off with menial offers at the beginning to build up your portfolio but if you are genuinely good at it, there's tonnes of work to be had and much of it reasonably paid. Put an ad on classified websites and scour similar resources to hunt out some work. It helps to be located near the person you are providing it for, so you can discuss ideas but it is not essential, so basically you can do this from anywhere in the world.

Protect your content and make a bigger profit - Stop content scrapers!

Autoblogging is all the rage these days and the chances are that your well-written thought out articles will be stolen and re-used by another blogger without them even lifting a finger. Because they will not have to think up anything, they can put their time and energy into ensuring they have a better page ranking and there's a chance they'll be making more money than you with your content. This isn't fair obviously and the firt thing that needed to be combatted are Content scrapers which are programs that scour the web for relevant content and then send them to the person running the programme.

There are 3 tools which can help combat people stealing your content.

These are:

Copyscape - A search engine which searches the internet for content which exactly matches yours. Go to www.copyscape.com and type in your URL. Then report any stolen content you find. You can also submit a banner of theirs to your site, which may ward off potential thieves.

Fairshare - This second tool is perhaps the most useful, the majority of content scraping is done through RSS feeds and this website hunts out any work of yours that has been stolen, all you have to do is go to the website www.fairshare.com, add your feed URL (if you are using blogger this can be found in the settings tab), sign up and wait 24 hours. You can then monitor it from then on.

Tracer - The last one is probably the most ruthless and also the most succesful but the efficiency comes at a price, it slows down your webpage considerably. To get this one to work you have to go to http://tcr1.tynt.com/ - then you have to add the java code in to your blog somwehere, this nifty gadget picks up on people copy and pasting or saving photos from your blog and automatically adds a link back to your webpage.

bigprofitfast.info - A very fishy possible scam

I was alerted to this website by an adsense ad and whilst it claims to be forex, the fact that it seems related to various other websites and promises large quick returns lead me to believe it is a HYIP. Whilst some people play games with HYIP's, hoping to get in and out early. I think that if you play with fire, your fingers will get burnt and this is not the answer to a stable online income at all. I would stay away, if I were you!

millionsinstore.com - Not a scam as such

Millionsinstore.com provides you with pages and pages of information which is relatively complicated to decipher, the information is widely available on the net for free but is just given a new face and collected properly here. They offer a $1 month trial, the thing to look out for is that they don't automatically charge your credit card for the next month at $29.99. Most people don't actually use the information that is available, the chances are you won't either. Answer this question. Did you really read all of that long pitch? If the answer is no, then the chances are it's not going to be your thing and therefore will be money wasted.

zarabiac.com - A Polish casino scam

Zarabiac.com is a Polish version of the common roulette scam, the website may be in Polish but the template is extremely similar to more international ones. This website makes you submit your details which will most likely be sold on to spammers, they then take you to a page explaining that you can earn 300 euros per day with a well-known roulette system that doesn't work, whilst smartly adding their affiliates to the webpage. That's how they make money. You won't!

make2s.me - Another version of the cash maker scam

Earlier on in the day, I mentioned the cash maker method website being a scam, well another one that I came across which suggests high earning possibilities through the information on its website is http://www.make2s.me/2956/0/en - this website is a carbon copy of cashmakermethod.com and also acts as a front for signing up via affiliates. Do not follow the casino related instructions that it relays to you. Don't even bother visiting the site!

www.martingale-roulette.fr/win - Another tiresome roulette scam

Roulette scams are plentiful on the internet, webpages promising to tell you a secret of betting odd then even or switching from one colour another or to stick with one and keep on increasing the bet. The fact is this simple system does not work, this website which is usually in French (www.martingale-roulette.fr) also has an English page which is being advertised through google ads at the moment. I recommend avoiding the information he tells you, it's merely a front so that you will sign up through the affiliates on his page.

Cashmakermethod.com - A posh website which boils down to a scam

Cash Maker Method have really done their utmost to avoid looking like the typical roulette scam site, their flashy pages and videos, promises to teach you techniques that will make you rich. What it really is, though is several roulette systems which should work on paper but don't work in reality. The only person making money here is this website through affiliates. Stay away from the online casino, if you want to get rich or earn money!

Build up your blog with reviews and earn money from Amazon affiliates

If you are one of many of the review writers on consumer sites such as dooyoo and ciao, then you may be overlooking a very simple and straightforward source of income. Cross posting has probably become a nice little earner for you but there's an additional way of earning more.

Here is the lowdown on what to do:

1/ Choose your niche - French films, Sony electronics, old computer games, books of a certain genre.. it can be anything.

2/Title your blog appropriately - both the title and the url should bear some resemblance to the topic.

3/Use an interesting template for blogger from btemplates.com

4/Begin writing posts designed around your site and then re-post them on review sites. Try to do at least one a day, preferably a few more.

5/Add adsense to the blog

6/Sign up as an amazon affiliate and begin including advertising links to the product you or reviewing, above, below or to the side of your review. They pay 10% of sales that come through your site and if you have enough traffic, this can soon mount up.

7/Treat the blog as your baby - do everything in your capabilities to fill it up with good unique content and gain traffic. Put thought in to your niche, layout and content.

Bux.to - A hugely succesful scam

I've come to the conclusion that bux.to has to be a hugely succesful scam, you still have numerous people claiming to have earnt well on there and I can't fault their claims but I think this may be one case of paypal seeing through them succesfully. It seems that because they have paid some people, they are

Personally as it goes for me - I withdrew money in February 2008 and it was supposed to have arrived in my alertpay account some months afterwards but I checked my alertpay account and saw nothing at all. I made another withdrawal of around £79 and there's no sign of that either. Having invested in the premium package for $59 and paid about $16 for referrals. This basically means they have stolen $75 from me. They refuse to reply to my e-mails, which at the best is unprofessional. If they do this to hundreds of members, they'll surely have enough to payout a few to keep promoting it and who defend bux.to because they've received a pay out, slagging off anyone who has been ripped off by them!

They change their terms and conditions as and when they like and actually write in their terms and conditions that they can do that. This basically means to me that if they want to change it to "people will not be paid their earnings" - they could.

I definitely recommend avoiding the whole pay per click world.

Coreyhasmoney.com - A scam which you should avoid

Coreyhasmoney.com is one of many similar ads which lead to google cash kit, google repeatedly combat against google cash kit and are nothing to do with it whatsoever. The website has a cheesy picture of the said person and it automatically says that he is from whereever you are logging in.

Basically you will be posting things which are not allowed by adsense and so you will eventually make very little if any money and get suspended. Meanwhile he will have made a small income from selling you google cashkit. There are many sites in a similar vein and they are known for advertising on facebook. The testimonies are re-used on many other sites.

www.money.chipzentrale.com - Old Scam New on the Scene

It's a while since I've unearthed one of the many casino scams on the net but today I came across yet another one. I've mentioned in the past sites which encourage you to start playing roulette wth what seems like a method that may work.

The fact is that there are so many of these that if everyone had done well - there'd be no poverty and no casinos doing business! This doesn't work and although it looks appealing - should be steered clear of. The only people making money here is the webmaster through affilliates and the casino at your expense.

Make Money With Your Twitter Account

This money earning opportunity revolves around twitter, if you are already on twitter then that's one less thing you have to worry about. Providing you have more than 25 followers then you can participate.

Basically you post an ad on twitter which are already prepared and can be submitted on to your twitter with one click. Any time somebody clicks it, you get a payment, this is stipulated on the page full of ads (payment is from 1 cent to 7 cents per click at the moment although they are planning to introduce higher payments soon).

Apart from setting up the account, the whole process takes little more than a minute. The amount of income is vast and the site is said to payout with paypal, now I've not yet reached the $20 payout mark but this site comes recommended by a friend and I have good faith in it.

If you use twitter for private reasons amongst friends, then perhaps it is better to use another account - there are many members which will add you back, so it shouldn't take long to have 25 followers or more. Personally I have 500, so the chance of people clicking is quite high and makes a tidy sum at the moment. What's more is that you get 20% of referral income for life.

Here is the referral: http://twtad.com/?id=760

The first step however is to set up a twitter account if you don't have one. Any more questions let me know!

Make Money with Proposition Bets

If you are a confident kind of person, why not learn a few special talents, big up your talent in a local bar and earn money by betting on whether you will do something or not. All you need to do is find someone who genuinely believes that it's impossible for you to do something then amaze them for a small price! Consider yourself an amateur magician!

Here's a website with a good selection:

http://proposition-bets.com/

capitalrobert.blogspot.com - not a scam but a waste of money

This guy's page details how a powerseller from e-bay has taught him how to earn £1000 a week on e-bay, there are then various screenshots of proof and information on how it was achieved before giving a link leading to his "mentors website" which will sell you an e-bay book on how to make great profits on e-bay. The link is on the website richmonkey.com which is the same guy's website and tries to sell his book on the homepage.

The Amanda book is not the worst book ever but these things have been going around e-bay for decades. Apart from that though the guy has some pretty interesting posts on his website.

directmoneymethod.com a scam due to completely lieing!

directmoneymethod.com have a really short and sweet little adsense ad about how you can make £300 in an hour, clicking through to their website you will then immediately appear at Etoro.com, basically directmoneymethod.com is making use of their affiliate system - which pays the affiliate $100 for every succesful sign up and deposit. Whilst there's nothing wrong with this, it is the way that directmoneymethod.com goes about it which I consider to be a scam! Likewise the earnings of £300 in an hour would involve a massive investment. There are far better Forex websites than Etoro out there, so if you are thinking seriously about it - do hunt around.

Neilsmoneysite.com - a scam by a well known scammer

Neilsmoneysite.com advertises that he used to make £35 a day and now makes over £51,000 a month, he uses the well known technique of showing a photo of himself on holiday with his pretty wife - he claims to be where ever you are from and says that you can make a packet by signing up through google cash kit - google cash kit is not at all related to google and is a complete scam but what's more interesting perhaps is that this site no longer even leads there but instead to perfspot.com which seems to be a platform like myspace, I suspect this guy might just be collecting information now.

www.1easystep.com - This scam is dead in the water!

As you can see from this website, it is rather similar to the scam that I mentioned in the previous month - Google Cash Tree was never related to Google and was a complete scam. This website now leads to somewhere completely different though - fortunately it seems to be a complete dead end, which is good for any unsuspecting readers.

duvetdollars.com - an undercover scam

See what I've done there with the title? Ha, probably clever than anything you'll read in this e-book, currently retailing at $49.99 it describes things like clickbank and adsense. If you notice the graph on her main page then it's the same on any numerous of clickbank scammers and is a tell-tale sign to look out for. There's little info in this book and I've had reports that the owner of the site fails to refund as promised.

casinocashpro.com - The old casino scam but even worse!

Most of the roulette scams show you this simple black/red trick which in theory should work but try spinning a coin and you will see that it doesn't. Most of them also suggest starting with £1 which would at least limit damages to some extent, this guy just tells you start straight with £5. You will come a cropper, do not follow this method, you will lose!

atozreviews.co.uk - Another affiliate advertising scams

This guy is making his money in the same way as the person we mentioned on the moneysmartpro.webs.com, seasoned online money earner hunters will have come across these sites a few times but newbies could easily be taken in by this site. This is no review site at all just a front to get you to sign up to those sites so that he will get a commission.

Mrbidwin.com - a new auction scam

These auction scams come and go, I've already uncovered the largely scamming site Madbid. Mrbidwin doesn't quite work the same way, it is free to sign up and they then give you 100 free bids. They then sell money (for instance $1) and people use up their free bids trying to win the dollar, each time a bid is received the clock denoting the remaining auction time is turned back to 1 minute. It's likely you'll win a few times with your 100 bids unless you are bidding too early but the problem occurs when you start spending your own money on it to try to win, in theory you could make 10 bids of 0.10 and still break even if you won on the 10th time but in reality it will be too tricky with bidders on the computer side. A complete waste of time!

www.exceltelemedia.co.uk - not a scam just a bit kinky!

The earning figures are all viable but this is basically handling sexually explicit phone calls and using a webcam even though it tarts itself up in a slightly different way with testimonies like "The men were just lonely"

onlinemoneynow.co.uk - a complete scam

Any website offering free roulette systems to win big and pay off your mortgage etc, you should be particularly wary of. These strategies are old hat and simply don't work in the long-run, if they did - the casinos would be bankrupt. This website makes it money from the affiliates that you click on when signing up and depositing money you will lose. Stay away!

moneysmartpro.webs.com - Not just one scam but a number of them!

This website promises a unique way of earning money and then lists several websites as an affilliate - I've seen the links to the E-bay casino related ad, cashmaster, duvet dollars et al before on a certain website (can't recall which one) and I can't emphasise ignoring them enough! Stay away!

www.markitmaster.net/wealth - Not quite a scam but likely a waste of money

Here's another website that makes promises of showing you how to earn big bucks. The format is a sales pitch rather than that of an out and out scam. All this guy has done is compile information on the subjects he mentions in his pitch, googling for free tips will bring the same outcomes as buying his book for £67.00 - a cost which is a bit too much for something you can get for free for your average budding online entrepreneur.

make-online-money.co.uk - Our enemy the casino related scam

Just as I thought I'd uncovered enough worthless make money casino type sites, another one pops up. Some people would have you believe that the only way to make money online easily is in the casino, don't be fooled - if this was succesful everyone would be doing it and the casinos wouldn't allow it. The only people making big bucks here is the sites recommending it as affiliates! This scam can be seen in numerous posts below.

ebayno1system.webs.com - the old roulette scam again

The amount of sites like this that can be unearthed just goes to show that you never can be too careful, I've mentioned this scam numerous times now - it's based on them making money from affilliates and making it look incredibly attractive to you - this will work in play free mode but when it comes to playing for money, you will ultimately lose.

internetreviews.webs.com - A misleading scam

I hate adverts which are completely misleading and this is a perfect example, the high possible earnings presented through writing reviews on the advert simply didn't ring true. The website actually has nothing to do with reviews but is a long list of various scams and very low income websites, where the guy makes money as an affiliate or referral. None of the ones currently up are worth your time and some are well worth avoiding (E-bay No.1 Gambling system, Cashmaster etc)

instant-cash-systems.com - An easy to spot scam

The minute I saw this website advertised, I had a feeling that it was going to be a casino related scam, the earnings of between £250 and £500 are always estimated for this particular system and the website even looked familiar. Please be warned that this scam may well win in free play but will ultimately fail when it comes to playing for money.

janes-home-business.com - another rubbish scam

If you've just read the andrews-secret.com post then you may be interested to know that this website does exactly the same thing. This is clearly someone who has bought Andrew's course and as crappy as the website looks - they will be wanting the same £27 plus postage for the Andrews course. Better off out of it unless you've got money to burn!

andrews-secret.com Not exactly a scam but pretty close

Andrew Reynolds has done well for himself and knows a lot about business, basically below all the spiel is one months free trial and then £27 a month after that to receive a monthly course from him. Some of the information is valuable but most of it can be found elsewhere for free or at a cheaper price. The "cash on demand" programme is certainly not that - the course runs for an extremely long time which means you forking out a lot on his course, on top of this you are invited to ridiculously expensive seminars.

I don't think it's worth the money unless you are already rich, in which case you wouldn't be looking for ways of making money online!

Why myinternetbusiness.com is a scam!

Myinternetbusiness.com advertises themselves under false pretences, whilst this is common in the world of internet marketing, I immediately tend to disregard sites which try to hammer home the point that they are willing to change your life and that you can work together. Their packages are ridiculously expensive - between $400 and $1000 and you get paid from sales of e-boooks selling the usual money making things that can be found quite often for free. You won't be able to sell them as easily as you think and even if you do sell them, do you really feel good about selling people crap?

kandola.myinternet.tour.com/lcv1/ - Product related scam

This is another variation of the two websites mentioned below and will lead to the main sister site full of movies and propaganda to get you to sign up to selling products (money making drivel) for a cost. These are the only guys making money out of it and you are better off looking for an honest earning. If you are looking for some of those then some good news is that I'll be putting up some links to the best genine money earning opportunities, I've come across.

james.myinternettour.com - The same product selling scam

This is a further page of guidingyoutowealth.com and must be the template which is offered on the main site, don't bother wasting your time signing up to these websites and watching their videos full of stuff which will just make you jealous and want to go ahead with their product selling! Sitting and watching this will not earn you money! Don't be fooled, be smart!

guidingyoutoyourwealth.com - A dull scam

This site is full of promises, makes use of pictures of flashy resorts and cars, even the owner of the sites family, it then leads to a completely different website which encourage you to sell pointless money making products.

There's endless info on how to get your site up and running but ultimately you will be forking out and if you do make any money out of it, you will be scamming people just like you've scammed. This isn't business, it's just blocking up the web with rubbish!

uk.madbid.com/front - A scam I hadn't seen before

If any of the scammers we've recently uncovered deserve to make money then surely it's this guy - it's one of the more inventive scams, I've seen in recent times. Madbid is an auction website, they even give money to charity. Basically items sell for a fraction of their RRP on this auction site but you have to buy bids. At approximately £1 per bid, they don't come cheap. The clock resets to 3 minutes every time there is a bid, if there is no bid then the auction finishes.

The site does however seem to allow certain people bid after the time is finished and it seems that the same few people win over and over again, some of which had once been caught linked to the owner of the site on his facebook profile. It all seems too dodgy for me and will cost you far too much although there is a slight chance of picking up a bargain.

express-money-online-income.co.uk - Casino related scam!

In recent weeks, I've unearthed lots of sites leading to exactly the same roulette system, which on paper looks very tempting, wins in play for free mode on the casinos, even for a while when you play for money but ultimately fails and will lose you a lot of money. This guy makes his money out of the affilliate link and even has the cheek to put a paypal donation button on his site! As tempting as it may sound, this site is best avoided! Do take care out there!

norfolkline.com/EN/Affiliates/ - not a scam but probably an exaggeration

I was taken by surprise a little bit to find Norfolklines advertising on Google Adwords - a way of earning up to $3000 a month. Whilst the number is most likely a large exaggeration, making money by referring people through your website (providing you own one) is a fair way of making money. If they buy a Dover-Dunkirque ferry trip, you will receive up to £5 a go. Not bad, particularly if you own a travel orientated website.

A Genuine Online Money Earner - Gomez Peer

I recently came across Gomez Peer, this is a decent service that pays out via paypal. Whilst it's not going to make you rich (it has a maximum limit of $45 per month) it may well cover the costs of your internet if nothing else. What Gomez Peer does is uses a section of your computer to test out via a P2P server how fast various pages load and then sells this information to the webmaster. The program does it all itself and your computer only needs to be connected to the internet for it to work. There are no risks on your behalf either.

The payment for being online, isn't particularly outstanding but you will be able to earn a couple of dollars a month for doing absolutely nothing except signing up and letting the program run while you are online. Better yet, they pay you $1 per referral too.

Click on the little white box if you want to sign up (and be sure the referrer says "dangaroo"):

crazydoc.co.uk - The old casino scam again!

As we've mentioned on numerous previous posts, the roulette game of picking odd then even or red then black, simply doesn't work over the long term and is going to cost you money. Crazydoc is another website which gives away the information free, sneakily asking for donations and will encourage you to sign up with its affilliates. Do yourself a favour and stay away from it!

Easyfreenincome.com - The worst scam today!

This website has "smarmy salesman" written all over it with the said owner of the website putting a little video with his voice asking if you want to be rich and making the viewer green with envy! Then he lists the things that his formula is not and that it is a never been seen before, after you've signed up for free you'll be sent through to a free e-book which has two roulette systems on - one of them looked convincingly possible to me and I tested it out in a "play for free" room of a casino - it seemed to work fine, the minute I tried it in an online Ladbrokes casino for real though, I lost all the money whilst following his strategy. It looks good on paper but I'm sure the casinos have a way of working these things out. Stay well away from this one!

easymoneyreviews.co.uk - Not necessarily a scam but definitely a poor selection

The website easymoneyreviews.co.uk advertises itself as a chance to earn big, basically they claim to check all of the money making systems and pick their favourite 3, considering that their number one is the lousy cash multiplier system which has been around well before the internet - I would take anything that this website says with a pinch of salt. I for one am not impressed with their selection and they could well be in on the action themselves.

Cashmultipliersystem.com - Scam of the day!

The owner of this site is said to have been a millionaire from making money on adwords yet his site whiffed off the roulette system we have seen over and over again - I signed up with an account to see whether it was or not and it most definitely was! This guy is making money from his affiliates and the roulette system will not help you out! Stay away!

morph-everything.com - A scam of huge proportions

There really aren't many genuine online money making opportunities these days that are regularly advertised and it came as no surprise to me that morph-everything.com which advertises "Make £80 a day for doing nothing" was a scam. The website is an utter mess with banner ads and google ads all over it, they even ask you to click their adverts so that they can profit from them which is against adsense policy. They then fool you into thinking you'll be getting something for free, however when it comes to signing up - a sneaky $7 is added - when you sign up the owner of the site gets $5 of this.

underdogwealthsystem.com - another casino related scam

This site will get you to sign up first and then lead you through to a page that describes how easy it is to win big with the roulette system first mentioned in our post "Forget the All Blacks.." in March. This is the same system which looks viable but ultimately fails either through an end of a lucky run that will bankrupt your casino account, casino interference or reaching the tables limit without noticing it.

The people offering these systems for free - make money from the affiliate links at the bottom of the page. Don't touch this one!

Treasuretrooper.com - Not a scam but an exaggeration

As far as I know - Treasuretrooper.com is not directed at anyone other than the US market, however their google ads will still pop up internationaly with a promise of being able to make money on their site. Whilst their advert over exaggerates, it is of course the idea of an advert to get you to click on it and their website makes it fairly clear what you need to do to earn. Any rational reader will come to the conclusion that the endless cashback offers, surveys and game websites where you can cash points for low amounts of money are indeed a waste of time for anyone who wants to make some serious money. The time/payment ratio is too low and you often have to sign up to things which cost money to get a return. This is no way to get rich but if you enjoy playing games and filling in forms and live in the US, then fair enough.

pidsystems.com - Another Tim Lowe scam!

Tim Lowe really is a busy chap, he's got numerous sites which lead to his same old system, as listed in the previous two posts. This website is undoubtedly the most colourful and makes use of photos of him jetsetting around the world and luxurious villas to tempt you to fall for what will be advertising dvd's in the newspaper!

timlowesprofitaccelerator.com - The same scam as below

This website leads to the same scam as the post below, basically Tim Lowe bought the rights to lots of old e-books and re-used them to come up with a package, if you sign up to this, you will firstly be out of pocket a little bit and later be expected to put ads in newspapers to make any money through it. More info in the previous post.

timlowesystem.com - Yet another scam of sorts

Timlowesystem.com takes you to a website, the famous "Tim Lowe System" who advertises through various websites his promise to make you "£15,000 to £57,000 a month", he also claims to have made over £3 million with it. The latter part might be true but what this website will have you doing is selling DVD's on how to get rich through classified ads. He gives you a talk through guide and some e-books on how to get started, the problem is - all of his customers will be doing the same thing and there's a limit to how many people can sell the same product, especially when it is essentially pointless information - the type which you yourself will have been paid for. There's nothing to say you can't profit a bit from it, that is if you have no morals and want to sell something worth nothing to someone! On top of that - you will have to outlay a fair amount of money first.

Ezeejobs.net - The same scam as superprofitz.biz

My scam radar noticed an advert entitled "Earn $8000 Weekly" - that's a lot, I thought to myself. The website had all the tell-tale signs of a scam but just to make sure, I signed up for the free information with a spare e-mail account that I have and low and behold.. it was the very same scam that we saw earlier in the month and led me to the page www.superprofitz.biz - a scam that I mentioned in a previous post. Don't waste your time!

A scam with a bad name - adcommunications2u.bravehost.com/casino.html

I've caught out quite a lot of scams today and here is one that can't even seem to afford a decent domain name - maybe there's a reason for that because I'm sure this person is earning quite well from this site. They offer free info regarding a highly well known and less than succesful roulette system as well as a mediocre blackjack system which also well known and promise that it's easy to win plenty. If it was, they wouldn't be needing to make money through the affiliate systems below.

Study the info and if you see anything like it again - make sure to stay away from that too! The casino is no place to earn a living unless you are a croupier!

myfastcash.org - Another casino related scam

Myfastcash.org have a lovely web domain, they really do - I'm not 100% sure if they are in cahoots with the free information at http://adcommunications2u.bravehost.com/casino.html but that is certainly where they are sending you who in turn just want to get you to sign up to casinos through their affilliates.

Don't touch this one - it will not earn you any money in the long run and could in fact see you lose significantly.

The Cash 1234 System at cash1234dotcom.com - A Confrimed Scam

Barely anything for sale that is worthwhile buying is written in the style that you can find on this website. They start off with those dreamy pictures of palm trees, flash cars and dollars, fill the page with information on what it isn't - to re-assure the buyer and then offer the information for a reasonable price (currently $12). The only person making money here is who ever owns this site, for your 12 dollars you will receive pointless information on over-rated casino systems and exceptionally dangerous HYIPP's. Stay well away from this one!

AceCashSystem.com - Another Roulette Scam

AceCashSystem.com fits into the category that I mentioned previously on my post entitled "Forget the All Blacks"

The fact that they are giving the information away for free, should lead you to think - what's in it for them? Simple - they make money through the affiliate links to the casinos at the end of the page. After bigging up the possibilities of winning loads of money at the casino, you are likely to click. Don't do it! Read the above post for complete details.

MyIncentiveWebsite.com - Not Quite A Scam

In my current search through google ads to alert you of what is a genuine earning opportunity and what isn't - I came across www.myincentivewebsite.com - a site which claims that you can start earning today and that you could earn up to $313,000.

The alert signs are there - the promises of high returns with little effort should be a warning sign, followed by a spiel which is so long that you forget that he's gone from "giving it away" to charging $22 dollars. The reason it's not exactly a scam though is that there are in theory potential profits to be made from it and the owner of the website tells you exactly what you are buying. This is where you need to engage your brain and work out that if he's selling so many money earning websites which are identical - you'll need decent experience in Search Engine Optimisation to get any actual traffic and even then the figures you will earn through it will be nothing in comparison to what the website suggested.

Personally, I'd steer clear of it but there are some small money earning possibilities there in theory.

Bankersprofits.com - Yet another scam!

Once again, I've been on the hunt for google ads which promise big but fail to deliver. Bankersprofits.com is a neat little webpage which advertises easy money, a cartoon man in a suit makes light of earning £6,000 a week. He's willing to give the details to you for free - nothing to lose, you may think. I gave it a go with an e-mail account I don't use and don't mind getting spammed to.

In fact what happens once you've registered with the site is that it tells you about the same old - black/red or odd/even roulette system (as mentioned in a previous post "Forget the All Blacks.." )which simply does not work in the long run.

Where this guy makes money is that he makes it sound incredibly easy and then has various banners to various casinos below it. Not knowing that you making him a killing, you sign up to the said casino from his site - he makes money as an affilliate, the casino makes money eventually from the roulette game and you are the one to lose out. The website may also sell on your e-mail address, although I have no proof of this. My warning is give this website a wide berth! Gambling is most definitely not a sure way to winning big unless you are a highly skilled poker player!

Join The Paparazzi or Become An Autograph Hunter

If you like me, have focussed on ways of making money on the internet. You may have missed some extremely well paid opportunities which involve a bit of action and not just sitting around on your computer. Celebrities have their favourite haunts and you can make it your job to frequent the places that they go, which should be easy enough to find out in the local media.

Celeb gossip is one of the biggest money earners these days and if you get the correct photo - you could sell it directly to the papers and make a mint. If the celeb isn't that well known or the picture nothing special, you can still sell them to websites like Shutterstock, Fotolia or Big Stock Photo where you make money each time it is downloaded for use. With charges varying between sites, you could make as much as a £1000 for 1000 downloads.

On top of this you can ask celebrities for autographs or head to sports grounds of famous teams with some memorobillia and make a large profit by selling them on e-bay.

Forget the All Blacks.. Don't dabble with casinos

It's quite often google ads that catch my eyes these days, perhaps since I have my own I'm taking more notice of them. This time it was the embarrasing claim "Want to Make £799 Today?" - which leads to the website reviewtrust.co.uk, which then goes on to inform you how you can be an advantage player at roulette which is to say that you will have better odds than other players because you are betting 1:1 - that is sticking your money on one colour or odds/evens.

Casino has been around for years though and if this really worked, none of them would be in business. This is best played on a European table because there is only one 0, but it's best played none at all, yes the odds look reasonably favourable but there's one catch and it's a big catch. The roulette tables have limits and even if you find one with a high one - your bank account most likely does. Is it really worth risking all your money for a measly £1? Whilst the risk may be low, there's something fishy going on at your average casino and you will get exceedingly long runs of the colour you don't wish for. You will need a lot of money for this experiment and you are likely to lose out before long. Ignore this dodgy google ad - if it's that succesful, why have they stooped to advertising something so well known to all?

Making money is also about saving money, gambling is not worth the stress, risk or addiction and it's no way of getting rich unless you happen to be an awesomely talented poker player.

Social Bookmarking Increases Site Traffic

There's no disputing that Social Bookmarking increases site traffic, the more exposure you can get for your site or blog the better. Social Bookmarking sites like Digg or Twitter usually have fairly good places in the google ranking and the more links which are visible related to your site, the more chance of people bumping in to your site have. In some cases, you can have people "digg" your website in return for favourable ratings of their site. I'm not sure whether that's against site rules or not but it seems quite common.

Considering Social bookmarking doesn't cost anything other than a few minutes registering with the site, it's time well invested.

A well over-due update

You'll have probably noticed that there was a barren spell of blogging here, that's because I decided that there were so many money making opportunities out there online that I had to prioritise. In my hunt to make money online, I ended up bombarding myself with ideas and seemed to have little focus. I decided to get rid of the lower earners, one of which was actually this blog.

Later this month, I decided to check my adsense account and noticed that it was flying high - without doing anything this blog and my music blog http://www.jungleofjohns.blogspot.com had earnt me $90, perhaps I'd given up too soon. If I'd been putting care and attention into my blog during that time, I could easily be earning a nice daily sum at the moment.

You'll also have noticed that I have removed the links to the paid 2 click websites, bux.to simply wasn't earning enough for me and that was the best paid website, they claimed to have paid me out $19.00 - I applied for the money in February and they paid me out in June, however it mysteriously never arrived in my alertpay account and they've never replied to e-mails. Having not done anything with it for a few months, I decided to check the account - there was about $79 in it, not bad for my initial outlay of $16 - I've contacted them once again about the missing money and also withdrawn my $79 out of the bux.to account - we'll see how long it takes to turn up, if it does at all, this time round.

Over the last couple of months, I have earned about £650 on dooyoo and think I have hopefully mastered the best way of earning money on there. People tend to take themselves rather seriously on there, it becomes some people's lives and they're not too keen on people who post too regularly, however as long as you do a medium sized review full of your own content, try to keep it concise and effective and rate plenty of other users, then you can make quite a bit each day.

I've earnt about £300 on the travel website igougo.com - many of the reviews were simply used on dooyoo as well. They pay in Amazon vouchers which can be used to buy things on Amazon or sold on e-bay.

Ciao.com and ciao.co.uk are barely worth the effort, the beta site is a bit awkward and the pay is low but I basically just copy and paste my other reviews over from dooyoo now and again and this brings in a tidy sum of around £10-£20 a month. Slicethepie has brought me in around £300 but the current pay is a bit lower than it previously was.

Along with the paid to click websites, Shareapic is another website that I gave up on, there's a lot of money to be made online and it's better to focus your time on the profitable ones.

Oh and as for the experimental diets - it's fair to say I gave up!

Save Money with Good Flight Deals

There are a plethora of search engines out there which can be used to find cheap deals, they often go straight for the direct choices though or in some cases leave out valuable budget airlines. A lot of money can be saved by spending a couple of hours, or in some cases a full day in the airport.

I've set up a blog: wwww.bargainconnections.com which picks out a handful of the best deals on offer and the best ways of getting to a chosen destination with cheap airlines or cheap offers. Be sure to pop along for a visit, if you subscribe to the feed - you'll come across some great offers.

Scam of the day! Superprofits.biz

Checking my e-mails, I came across a google ad for "Paid To Type Ads
Receive $2000-$8000 weekly. Do simple part time online jobs." by Superprofits.biz. Applying the "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is" method, I decided to click on it, see what it was offering and google the site with the word scam next to it.

Basically they claim to be paying $5.00 for you to send out an e-mail to a certain address, why anyone would do that when they could hire someone to do it as a job on a monthly wage is beyond me. The fact is, no one in their right mind would do that and there's a few unhappy bunnies over the net complaining about it, what's more is you have to pay $50 to sign up. A definite scam, stay away!

If only everyday was a weekend

I've seen a dramatic difference in visits during the weekend than on weekdays, I'm not sure if it's the hangovers of a Sunday which sends people on a hunt through random sites or the fact that they look at their bank account on a Sunday and witness the damage of Saturday's fun and seek a way to get it back but what's for sure is that Sunday has been my most profitable day through google ads since I began blogging.

I'm going to try a few things to see if I can re-create the weekend magic on weekdays and let you know what I come up with!

Adsense Channel Update

Well after less than a day the channel option on Adsense has really made a difference, whilst one day's results can hardly show a trend it has definitely given me food for thought. It turns out that the blogs I thought were making money, weren't and vice versa.

Adsense: How can you find out which blog or page is making money?

So you have a couple of blogs or websites all linked to the same adsense account? You want to find out where the revenue is coming from, perhaps to improve or dispose of a certain blog/page?

This is easy but it is something which has to be activated. Log in to your adsense account - go to channels and click on the "guide to using channels", when you are done with that then begin adding the URL's you want to monitor. You can add up to 200.
