    i came across a site http://www.getgoogleadsfree.com by a Dr Jon Cohen which claim there is a method of acheiving pay per click adverts for free. sounds like a scam to me....too good to be true... does anyone know anything about this?

    Like you said sounds to good to be true. They use adsense arbitrage to earn more than they pay for the ads.

    It looks like a ploy to buy the pack he's advertising ;) Where did you find it?

    probably he will teach you how to use google adword with affiliate program. There is no such thing as free.

    This post actually looks like SPAM.... an attempt to plug his own web site. The poster has one post and hasn't replied.

    There is a $50 promotion that adwords managers can extend to new clients...perhaps this is what the ad is referring to.

    I read in another forum that it is NOT worthwhile. If you know the definition of arbitrage, then there is no need for this ebook.

    ...and his last name is Cohen. What type of a person has that last name?

    That bonus seems only to work when you're not a client already> I tried several times to add Adsence credits to put in my account and i never succeed

    Unless you like burning money, run in the opposite direction.

    Maybe it was Dr Jon Cohen himself ......he is a sneaky marketer.

    I bought with the intention of returning if rubbish...but hang on to stay on the mailing list for a while to see what was cooking....forgot to refund ....but the littl' bugger put my name & email addy out to other "opt-in" list houses.....just like he proposes you should do with your own opt-in list in one chapter of his ebook thingy :D ......really not a wise suggestion hey?

    Overall the business model has been used before in many marketing mediums. In this case its selling some advertising space on your landing page to similar or related advertisers. I dont see too much of this around in general PPC ads.....but it is commonly used in the online porn industry (so I was told :eek: hehe ) .......so Im doubting his large income claims.

    But many big media sites use this model.....just check out the major News sites....ads everywhere :rolleyes:

    the major thing this ebook lacked was the system and infrastructure needed to run the advertising side of the business.....manage monthly payments, placements etc over many sites......could it be done by QuickBooks or MYOB or Excel or do you need another ad management program etc etc etc

    Oh well....at least I got my comm back hehe :cool:

    Hello - if i spend $500 a month on adwords a week to promote my website and got $600 from advertisements fees from advertising space on my website - i not only get adwords free but make $100 profit a week. But how to get $600 advertisements fees per week ? If everyone can do this, then everyone can get free ads not only on google but in everywhere else.

    Yah right up until the point where they cancle your adsense account and not pay you your 600 dollars for arbitrage and send you the standard invalid clicks letter. Maybe you were a publisher for almost a year even so you thought it was ok but soon found that you affected their bottom line and it was the perfect excuse to end your business relationship regardless of the high quality of your traffic or website.

    " Oh yah but they will keep your 500 lol "
