Is Google Adsense a Scam?

Updated on March 20, 2011

The Big G

Google Scam

Hundreds of Thousands of People flock to the Internet every day in hopes of making money and earning google adsense pay . Earn money today is all we can think about in our current economic state. One of the main things they do is sign up for google AdSense. Start blogs, join squidoo, and hub pages, sign up for free web pages and plaster them with as many google ads that google will allow,in order to receive an adsense earning .

Now some people are very good at this and know all the tricks of the trade to get traffic to their site. One trick is to use common misspellings like google ad sense or google adsence . Or they will make claims to teach you how to make money on your website. They know how to select that niche that will draw in big money keywords. They go through the painstaking efforts to optimise their pages for search engines. They tell you just enough information in hopes of leading you to click an ad that has appeared on their page. Google in turn keeps a running total and when you reach $100.00 your eligible for a google adsense payout.

I know google will pay last May i got my first and only check from Google. It only took me a year and a half to reach that payout. Now here we are 7 months later and my account balance is $8.14, just might be another 5 years before I see another check.

If you search you find sites that offer to teach you the tricks of the trade, for a small fee of course. They won't teach you everything just enough to make you feel, at first, you got your money's worth. If they tell you everything (if they even know) then you may cut into their profits. You may be able to figure out the secrets and optimise better than they can.

The ideal thing would be if google allowed you to say "Hey before you leave my page click an ad just for the heck of it." but they don't and then you have to think about the poor guy paying for that ad, they paid for a click for nothing.

Getting the right content, keywords, and page ranking is one of the hardest things I have ever had to try and do. I have been one of those that paid for useless information and have gotten know where with it. So ask yourself is Google AdSense a scam ? Is there really money to be made from all the hours invested on the net? Are all the useless pages floating around worth weeding through? My answer is Maybe!!!
