Extra money with Adsense- Sounds tempting but don’t get scammed.

Updated on January 24, 2013

Making money online

I’m not going to start off by sharing with you, some million-times-thrashed-out, money making strategies with Google Adsense. Assuming that you already have read tons of published material on this subject and gained expertise in optimizing and tweaking your web pages for getting your share of adsense earnings, it won’t be a bad idea to show you how some people are taking advantage of the rising popularity of adsense and scamming people thereby, especially the novices. In the process of reading hundreds of articles on ‘making money with adsense’, I stumbled on a video, the content of which was as shocking as would be its implications. I’m sure you would be as startled as I was, after you watch it. Possibly, you would even stop trusting any of those ‘money making’ promises which are openly and brazenly sold on the internet. I insist that you watch till the end, as the ‘real game’ begins in the last few seconds. You’ll miss an interesting piece of web technology, if you don’t watch the whole of it. For watching it you'll have to click on the link below as it has been taken from a website not supported by Hubpages, as a result of which I could not upload it here. Without wasting any more time, let’s begin.

Adsense Treasure

Now let’s have a look at the ‘Adsense Treasure’ website. Promising thousands of dollars every month and making it look as if it runs on an autopilot. You can go vacationing with your family for six months in a year and money will still keep flowing into your account. Wow! I wish that was for real. Who would have liked to work in case such things were possible? On the contrary, as easy as it sounds, home based businesses are more demanding and time consuming as compared to regular jobs. You end up losing all your leisure time as that’s the time when your mind keeps struggling to devise novel techniques for making your website more popular and search engine optimized. And yes, did I forget to mention ‘adding new content’ and ‘pulling traffic’ to your website?

Speaking of ‘Adsense treasure’ (stated above), the whole advertising content is designed so cleverly that one can easily fall prey to it. You purchase the package for a promotional price (another gimmick), register a domain in your name and pay for the hosting charges as well, thinking that the website is going to make money on its own. Very soon you realize that the website has to be promoted and popularized like any other website and for that you have to work by the sweat of your brow in order to pull traffic to it. Assuming that you achieved the target of attracting visitors to it, you come face to face with another glaring and disappointing factor; the bounce rate is 90%. Why is that so? Just because the content sucks! There is nothing in it which can keep the visitors glued to it or compel them to come back. Result? Your website, on which you spent months on devising ‘traffic strategies’, fails miserably. Instantly you get reminded of the lifetime support which you had been promised by the company (Adsense treasure or whatever it is) at the time of selling you the package. You send e-mails to them (as no contact phone numbers are available) one after the other. What happens? Nothing…absolutely nothing. It’s not difficult to see that they have forgotten you. If you’re lucky, you might get an e-mail from them asking for the proof of the purchase transaction through their company and when you send them the receipt (if you’re lucky enough to have retained it), there is a long silence again. Rest assured, this time it’s a permanent one. You know what you have to do. Forget about the money you spent and stop wasting your time further on that dead website. Move on!

Pay us and we’ll take care of the rest

Now let’s have a look at another video. This man also, proudly, shows his adsense earnings publicly. I sometimes wonder if a person earning that kind of money (from any source) would, at any time, make it open to public. At least I wouldn’t.  (At this juncture, let’s not bring into picture those companies which have to, legally and as a matter of policy, reveal their earnings and stocks to public) This company does not rely on adsense totally, and has cleverly integrated ‘marketing’ and ‘website building’ strategies in the package, so offered. I leave it for you to assess how much potential they have (as I did not try this one out, like I did the ‘Adsense’ one) and how much they are actually capable of delivering in return of the money you pay them.
