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.
