Easy ways to make money for kids

Earning from Google has never been a scam — IF AND ONLY IF you do it through Google. If you want to earn money from Google, the ONLY way is to apply to Google Adsense http://www.google.com/adsense .

Adsense is a way to monetize and earn money from your site by putting Google ads from their advertising network Adwords. It has been around since June 2003 and Adsense has allowed many website owners to earn from their sites. I highly recommend going through the Adsense Quick Tour to learn more about the program http://www.google.com/services/adsense_tâ€

However, for other programs with “Google” in the name — e.g. Google Kit, Google Money Tree, etc. — those are SCAMs using Google’s name. They are NOT programs by Google.

Most of these Google scams have in VERY FINE PRINT at the very bottom of their page a disclosure that sometimes goes like the following:

————————————– By submitting this form I authorize Google ATM (DRI*GoogleATM) to immediately charge my credit card $1.95 USD for the setup of the Google ATM Home Business Kit. I hereby request that Google ATM (DRI*GoogleATM) activate my account and authorize them to advance funds as indicated. Monthly Service fees will commence seven days from the date of this purchase, and will be billed monthly thereafter. After the seven day trial you will be billed Sixty nine dollars and ninety cents USD monthly for the continued access to the Google Money Making System. No refunds will be given for failure to use the requested and provided services. ————————————–

The worst part is their presentation of a “Google” check thereby giving potential suckers (err, buyers) the confidence that this is indeed a program by Google. But in their fine print they say

———————————— Google does not endorse or sponsor this site and is in no way affiliated with this site The trademarks of Google, MSN, CNBC, USAToday, ABC, CNN and Yahoo! are the properties of their respective companies. These organizations do not specifically endorse or sponsor this site. The Google work job kit is free to try for a limited amount of time only. ————————————
