If it Sounds too good to be true, It might NOT be a scam!

Is this a SCAM or what? - FREE iPod… FREE Plasma TV… FREE Laptop Computer… FREE Digital Camera?

I get junk email offering me this crap all the time. I immediately delete them because if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Right? That’s what I use to believe. Then one day my friend Gus, showed me his new computer system. A brand new Compaq computer, color monitor and color printer.

“Guess how much it cost?” he asks me. Since I use to sell computers for a living, I had a pretty good guesstimate of what it should cost. “It’s about $1,000 bucks for everything” I said.

“Nope, I got it FREE”. “Cut the bull. Do I look stupid?”. “Did you steal it or was it a gift?He said that he completed the requirements from an ad that advertised that they would send you a FREE Computer.

I said. “Those things are all scams. Nobody gives away FREE computers”. He tells me that some of those offers probably are scams but there are also some legitimate offers.

“No company can make money giving away FREE electronic equipment. Wouldn’t they would go broke giving away FREE stuff?” He says “Do you remember when Google first started?” “Sure” I said. “How much did they charge to use their service, when they started?” “They didn’t charge anything”. “How much do they charge now?” he asks. “They still don’t charge”.

“So it’s FREE” he says. Yet they have grown to be one of the most profitable companies in the entire world. “Yea, but they are not giving away FREE expensive electronic equipment” I countered.

Gus looks me straight in the eye and asks “How do they make their money?” “They sell advertising. Google Adsense and Adwords”.

“Ah, ADVERTISING” he says. “Advertising has made them one of the most profitable companies In history. While it may be contrary to what you’ve always been told - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is - there really are legitimate promotions that do offer consumers the opportunity to “earn” all types of expensive gifts for FREE”.

To get this FREE Stuff, you have to do something so that you are actually working and “earning” your Freebie - but you do get the item.

“There are things a person needs to do to get them, but when you do, you get the item. This type of advertising is known as incentive marketing and has spawned an entire cottage industry of people earning free products.

The way it works is that (unknown to you) the sites offering FREE Stuff make their money from Advertising.

As part of their promotions they introduce consumers to various advertisers’ products and services, and in return they are paid a commission for each new “lead” they generate.

For example, they might earn $50 each time they refer a new user to AOL even though the user only signed up for a free trial and didn’t pay anything at all.

You may have to sign up for a bunch of “Free Trial” memberships or refer a certain number of people who sign up for the “Free Trial” memberships. Oftentimes the user who is trying to earn a FREE gift gives up for one reason or another before getting the required number of referrals. In this case the company collects some commissions and doesn’t have to send the user anything, so it’s pure profit.

The company gets PAID by other compaines for generating leads. This is how they make their money. They can afford to give away Free products and still make a handsome profit for themselves. Some of them actually make quite a bit of profit. Just ask the guys from Google.

Article from Michael Cheney’s “Adsense Video’s”

When I first started using AdSense (remember I was pulling in a poxy $2 per day) I shunned the high paying keyword lists you see everywhere. I thought they were a scam. The thing is - although there are some low-quality ones out there, if you do the research (and BELIEVE me, I’ve done that alright) then you can find lists that are worth TEN TIMES more than people charge for them. So how does it all work? Download My free e-book to find out. http://adsense-video-download.thegadgitech.com/

29 Şubat, 2008 (07:03) | iyinet webmaster forumu 2008 seo yarışması | By: BnYmN

Gone are the days of paid hostings, domain registrations, buying e-books, paying to learn internet marketing ’secrets’. For that matter, even there is no need at all to know the basics of HTML, CSS or JavaScript.

Now everybody can have a website or blog - free, of course! All this has been possible due to innovative minds. Hats off to them. All you have to do is to have a content - a unique one - and take up the only task of attracting traffic because your website is one of the millions floating around. You need not be an expert but it would be a pity if your command over the language is poor or you are not communicative. You can write your own story or autobiography. You can describe the struggles you went through all your life. In a nutshell, you can pour out.

Some of the hosting sites started attracting people with free websites like Yahoo’s GeoCities, Tripod, BraveNet etc. But the problem with some of them is that not all allow you to monetize your site with Google AdSense or allow you to link to other domains. One of the best resources where you overcome all such problems and also do affiliate marketing is Squidoo.

In Squidoo, your page is called a ‘lens’. You can make a lens on any subject under any category. Go to Squidoo and register. Be ready with a title for your lens and a brief introduction and you are ready. Save and publish. You can edit and save various add-ons as per your choice. You have RSS feeds from your blogs, Amazon buys, eBay items, Music, You Tube, Google Feeds, Flickr and what not. You can develop your content on a regular basis by going to the edit mode and choosing text module. There is a lensrank on a daily basis. Your lens’ stats are shown in various graphs. You can go to any forum and seek help.

Of course, depending on your lens’ traffic, click outs, buying etc. you could be eligible for an earning! So what are you waiting for……………….
