How to identify online scams?

Posted by xtone production at 5:51 PM

I know a lot of people are looking at internet as a career and trying to earn as much as they can. Believe me, with everyone trying to achieve the same things, earning money from internet is not that easy now. It can be said that relatively, you can suppliment or add more to your daily income by just running a blog or a personal page. If you wish to take up internet as your only source of income, then its not going to be automated. You will need to put in a lot of hardwork and dedication to achieve this. For gods sake, stop believing those articles and products claiming to make you rich over night or earn $30000 in a week affiliate products. If those guys knew the secret of making so much money in a week, they dont have to be selling affiliate products now. Its all useless and meant for wasting time.

This article is mainly for those who want to take up their website seriously and work towards bringing it to a higher level. I have started this site with a basic goal of bringing in a lot of visitors and subscribers by the end of 2010. I am working hard towards it. I want to tell you about those online scam sites which will just take your time and yield nothing at all. You will need to research a lot before you sign up with websites, especially those PPC sites and Affiliate sites. This is because 90/100 sites are scam and never pay you for your time. Here are some tips to find out if the site is legitimate or not:

Google ! Try searching for posts or content which claim that the website is scam. If you just type any phrase involving the website name, you should be getting a lot of results. If you don’t get any results for the website then it all proves that the site is new and not even indexed by Google. It must be totally new or totally scam, both are not suitable for us.
Try using mylot where people usually start discussions over any PPC sites or any other money making site under the make money online category. You will find a lot of opinions on the website, so be sure that you read 2-3 pages in the discussion to understand what is true.
Read the TOC and the disclaimer of the website thoroughly before you sign up.
Google again to see if anyone has posted any content with a payment proof from that website. Most of them do this just to help people earn more money and also to share their referral id’s.
