People who try to make money online know that a lot of sites don't pay. So I decided to show you some tricks how to recognize scam site. First of all take some time and check this Watch list of scam sites. I strongly advise against registration with these services. All these sites are either not paying member and/or even call in money, have an extremely bad support or being outright scams by cheating search engines with IFrames or use an illegal version of Cash Crusader script.
The information gathered on this list was produced by members of these sites to be included on the list as
- Not paying
- Problematic webmasters.
How to recognize Scam Sites?
- There are many sites out there which promise emails worth the likes of $5, $50 or $100 and upwards. DO NOT join any of these sites. These are ridiculous attempts to take your money and you will never see a penny. EXCEPTIONS are so called "Redemption Only" sites where you can redeem your money for advertising only.
- Check the advertising price to see if sites selling ads under price. If for example, the site has 100 members and an email to all costs only $2 for a $10 link, you can clearly see that the site is underselling advertising. 100 members x $10 per member = $1,000. Therefore, the actual cost of the advertisement without taking into account the referral commission comes to $1,000. If a site sells this link for only $2, the site is sustaining a loss of $988 per advertisement sold. This is only an example but please note that there are sites selling $10, $20 and even links worth hundreds of dollars for just $2 - $3. Basic mathematical skills will show you that such sites are totally unsustainable and therefore, short lived.
