Google Profit Pump - The biggest Google loophole there is
Google Profit Pump - The biggest Google loophole there is!
This article starts off by explaining exactly what the Google Profit Pump is, then goes on to show how it works. It talks about how people can make a lot of money with this scam and it also lists out all the information on how you can do this too so that your ads are also shown like theirs. This article is not just for beginners!
I'm sure you've come across websites before that say something like "Submit your email and we'll send info about these great products for free!" When you get to the page, however, there's nothing but spam or filler content. You go to leave and see a "No thanks, I'm not interested" button but instead you find yourself on a new page with the same old offer. You get annoyed and leave the site, wondering why people would be so greedy as to try and get your email when there's no way that you're going to buy something from them, especially when they offer nothing but spam.
The answer is simple: These people know what they're doing. They use the Google Profit Pump and you don't. They have a website and have it set up perfectly so that when you enter your email address, they can contact you with all sorts of fine products for free. Usually, these are some type of software or "download" which is useless or almost certainly malware if not even worse (see: MyPScam); the best case scenario is that they will sell you some worthless advertising space.
This article will show exactly how the Google Profit Pump works and how people are using it to their advantage. It goes on to explain how you can use it too so that your adverts are also shown while searching on Google. Later on, I'll list out the URLs for the top Google Profit Pump sites, as well as offer some advice on how to make this work for you.
What is the Google Profit Pump?
The Google Profit Pump is a program that uses Google Adsense, which allows you to display advertisements on your website. What these people have noticed is that they can get a lot more clicks and ad impressions if they give the user something in return. This means they have a much higher chance of getting paid with real money.
What Google Adsense does is that it allows the advertisers to pay the website owner from the ad revenues, instead of from a flat yearly fee. When you see an advert on your site, it might look like this:
Users now click on these ads in order to see something for free. When they see something good, they may leave their email address or phone number on that form so that the advertiser can contact them for a deal. Like I said before, there's usually nothing but spam or filler content on these websites and even if there were useful information, people would probably be suspicious of them.
The Google Profit Pump takes advantage of the fact that people who leave their email address are more likely to be interested in these deals, thus allowing the site owner to make money from it. This is how you can make money with this scam too.
How does The Google Profit Pump work?
This is how the website where I came across this makes money: You enter your email address and a bunch of nonsense text appears on your web browser. The actual website looks like this:
What's wrong with the website? Well, there's not much content or anything but there's plenty to click on. Besides the nonsense text, there's two other things:
At the top of page, there are two bits of content; one is a banner ad and the other is a form where you can enter your email address to get some information which is "worth $88". This is the most important part of the website because it's what you need to duplicate. There's an advertisement from Google Adsense, which makes money from clicks. This ad only shows when someone lands on that page for the first time. Once they click on it, though, their web browser will ask them if they want to install an app called "Amazon Browser Bar". This program causes your web browser to display Amazon ads every time you visit a new site. If you don't want this to happen, simply close the ad and it will stop.
The page with all the text is where you can enter your email address so that the advertiser can contact you for the deal. This is what you need to replicate on your own website! When I entered my email address, I received a message like this:
After clicking on "Get info", I got this page:
From here, I could see all sorts of products for free and at no cost to me. I could choose from software, music, ebooks, videos and more. The problem was that none of it was useful to me (I'm not even an affiliate for Amazon, who pays commission for those ads).
The second part of the scam is the "Get License" button on the top-right corner. This lets you pay $44 to get free software and $20 to get some music. Your credit card will be charged until you cancel your membership. It's a scam!
The site has a lot of other things fake offers on it too but I wasn't going to pay to try them out or sign up with any website without knowing how they make money first.
The first thing I did was to enter the URL into WhoIs.com to find out the information about the website.
The site is registered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is where I'm located. There's no record of its physical address but it has an email address (webmaster@ripoffreportstopper). The website uses software called NopCommerce, which costs $399 per year and is used by big companies like HP, Ford and more. This means that if the site owner was using his own domain (like hhggf.com or whatever) then there would be a fee for using it (the same goes for using WordPress with your own domain name instead of a blogspot/blogspot one).
When I searched for the domain, it turns out that the owner has registered domains under various names; ripoffreportstopper.info is one of them and makes more than $6000 per year. If you're wondering how he's making this much money with just Google Adsense, it's simple: It isn't Adsense that's making the money, it's the fact that these people are selling legitimate software and other things that the webmaster has placed on their website. If a brand new website can make more than $6000 a year from this program alone (and most likely, they already do), imagine what they're making with all kinds of products which only need to be available at a price.
Conclusion
Google Profit Pumps are easy to make and there's already a lot of them. You can make your own website within a day or two and start making money too. The main difference between you and the website owners is that they don't want to give away free things themselves but they're smart enough to know that people will still come.
