Is Google Cash a Scam? This questioncannot really be answered with a simple yes or a no... it's a much morecomplex issue than that. The following article will discuss my personalexperience with Google Cash. I've recently become veryinterested in the potential of making money from home on the internet.A few months ago I had no idea this kind of thing was possible, but oneday came across an ad for Google Cash and decided the risk (less than$100) was worth the reward (being able to quit my job and work fromhome). I read through Google Cash and it sounded great and fairlysimple. I truely believed that what Google Cash promised was possibleto achieve with the information it provided me with. If anyonereading this is unfamiliar with the Google Cash system, I will explain.Google Cash teaches you how to exploit the world of affiliatemarketing. Just about any company that sells products on the internethas an affiliate program. For example's sake, let's use Walmart as oneof these companies. Anyone can apply to be an affiliate with Walmart.If you are accepted into Walmart's affiliate program, Walmart will payyou a percentage of products you sell for them. How do you sell theseproducts? That's what Google Cash teaches you. You know thoseads on the right hand side of the page when you search for something?Those are affiliate links, i.e. ads created by people who have signedup with whatever company to sell their products. If you don't know whatI'm talking about, type "dvd" into Google and look at the results onthe right side of the page. Now, if you click on one of thoselinks, whoever put that ad up there is paying Google for that click. Soif you signed up as an affiliate with Walmart and decided you wanted tosell dvd's for them, you would create an ad with Google which wouldreceive a placement on the right hand side of the page. If someoneclicks your ad and then buys something from Walmart, you get acommision on that purchase. So, I read Google Cash and got thebasic idea. It sounded easy enough. I rationalized it to myself likethis: if I made 10 different ads which made me only $10 a day each,that's $100 a day. 7 days a week, that's $700 a week. Not too bad atall. Well I soon found out that this was much harder than it sounded. Imade some ads and yes, I got a lot of clicks, but no one was buyinganything when they clicked on my ads. This is where things getmore complex than they seem. When you place an ad with Google, youchoose which keywords you want your ad to appear for. Let's use dvd'sat Walmart as an example again. Say you want to sell a Batman dvd. Youcan have it so your ad comes up when someone searches for "dvd","batman dvd", "i want to buy dvd's", etc... there are endlesspossibilities. You will pay a different price for each keyword (noteyou only pay for a keyword when someone searches for your keyword andthen ALSO clicks on your ad). Dvd is a very popular keyword as you canimagine, and hence will cost you more than say "i want to buy dvd's". Google Cash does give you some guidance on how to determine lessexpensive keywords, but then there are other problems. Which keywordsare generating money for you and which are wasting money? Which areactually the best products to market (endless possibilities)? When aperson is clicking your ad, are they just doing research, or do theyactually want to buy something. Additionally, most affiliate programsoffer tiny commissions, in my experience, generally between 4% and 10%.It is not easy to get a positive ROI (Return on Investment) withcommissions so low. This type of marketing can be lucrative,which is why I am hesitant to say that Google Cash is a scam. Howeverthere is too much information missing from Google Cash to make apositive ROI without learning a lot on your own. On top of that, onceyou’ve bought Google Cash, you have no one to help you out. You can’tpick up the phone and call Google Cash and ask them for help, which isvery frustrating. Essentially you’re left up to trial and error, whichcan be a huge waste of time and money.
