ICashLine Google Junction Review


I Cash Line Google-Junction Review


Make money with the combination of Commission Junction & Google. All you need to do is to buy Google-Junction eBook by paying $22. Then you have to join Commission Junction (CJ.Com) affiliate program; then select few program to promote; join Google Adwords and write few simple ad copy; earn 1000's each month; very simple, any dog can do it.

> No website is required
> No experience is required
> No more investment is required
> No customer supports need to be handled.

Well, this is another avatar of opportunity scam. The folk at Icashline.com (their program name is Google junction) is totally misleading peoples by providing wrong details. They have posted some scanned copies of checks they have received. I'm NOT telling that those checks are fake... it's real check (cheque) though it can be faked. I'm not even telling that those strategies don't work.

What I'm telling you is, they are totally misleading the peoples who are looking to earn some money on the internet!

Let's see how this stuff works.

You buy Google-Junction eBook by paying small fee of $22. This eBook will explain you how to make money by promoting commission junction provided affiliate program via Google Adwords. If you have little knowledge of eCommerce you don't have to spend money on this concept.

Let me tell you some truth. In order to be accepted by Commission Junction -

You need a website hosted on top level domain name. (IE Blogger.com, NOT myblog.blogger.com) Your website must be well designed and should have quality content/information (of course website is not must if you run a quality e Newsletter) but there is no possibility of having a Newsletter without a website!

Okay... let's assume that you have got a website and luckily approved by Commission Junction. Let's also assume that you have basic eCommerce knowledge (not surfing or browsing) Ecommerce means making financial transactions on the Internet. (All these stuffs are too lengthy and I don't have the patience to type all of then right now)

Now here is the FUN :)

By this time you have joined some affiliate program to promote (Affiliate means, selling someone's product for a commission) just like a agent, distributor, reseller. Of course some company will pay for getting peoples to signup for free offers or trail period etc. So that later companies can send email promotion to buy products.

According to Google Junction you only have to promote free product, trail etc. Now the question is how you'll get peoples?

Advertising!

Go to Google.com and create a Adverting account. Let's assume that you are going to promote eBay.com If you refer a free member to eBay.com you'll get paid $2-$4 depending on the location. Google allows keywords advertising (known as contextual adverting) where you'll pay Google for every clicks. The cost per click would be anywhere from 10 cents to 200 dollars

  • Side Note: Every time you search something on Google.com you must have noticed some "Sponsored Result" on the right hand column. It means if you click on that link the advertiser will have to pay certain amount to Google. (Remembers it's Pay Per Click!)

Now you have to analyze who would be interested to join eBay.com Let's assume that peoples who want to purchase second hand cell phone might be interested. So you would target the keyword "Second Hand Cell Phone". Daily around 1000 peoples search for second hand cell pone on Google. You'll advertise for this keyword.

If you pay more to Google, your ad will be shown on the top of the search result and vice-versa. Let's assume you are willing to pay 10 cents per click. So if you get 100 clicks you'd pay 10 dollar to Google. Peoples who click on your ad would visit Ebay.com through your promotional links and around 10 peoples will join the site (it could be more or less) Since you have referred 10 members to eBay they will pay you 20 dollars (exact commission amount will vary)

So you have made 10$ profit (IE Gross commission $20- less adverting cost $10)

Remember, it's not as easy as I explained... there are too many things to handle. You may end up losing money too!

This is how this concept works. I'm not telling that this concept doesn't work. I personally make more than $1000 profit from the same concept... but it just doesn't work the way Google Junction claims! It's not that easy.

You can go with this concept, if you are looking to start a online business and willing to spend huge money. So you need following-

> a quality website on top level domain name.
> a Credit card to pay adverting cost to Google
> Willing to invest money and take risk.
> Fast learn ability of eCommerce process.

If you are looking for a JOB, then this is definitely not for you... you'll earn.... nothing... nada!

  • Another Note: These peoples are selling a database of millions of email id. Please note that you can not send any commercial mail to peoples who haven’t requested for it. It's called Spamming (don't you receive junk mail daily?) If you were caught for spamming, the punishment is up to $25,000 penalty and 3 years jail.

Good Luck :)

It's quite true, it really doesn't seem as easy as they make it out to be.
