Pay per click programs, are probably one of the most accessible method to make money online due to the simplicity of the procedure; almost anyone can do it without any special education or training involved. Unfortunately, in the past years the reputation of pay per click programs has been going down because there are more people that are trying to take a shortcut to richness by cheating (from both parts - site owners and users), so in order to avoid a possible disapointment, try check the following points before joining a pay per click program:
1 - If they tell you that you will be payed with more than 20 cents per click it is probably a scam (a lot of people may consider even this sum to be too high)
2 - Never trust a program that has a website hosted for free. Any legitimate business can afford their own domain name and webhosting
3 - Do a search on the internet to see if you can find people that are sharing an experience regarding that specific ppc program that you are considering joining.
4 - Make sure that the people that are saying positive things about that program don’t provide a referral link. If so, there is a possibility that they are only trying to convince you to join the program as their referral.
5 - Check on http://www.archive.org/index.php
to see how old is the site of that program and see previous versions of it. Naturally, older programs are more reliable than new ones (if they managed to stay in this business, they are probably not scams)
6 - Do a “whois” search to see who the owners of that programs are. Ideally, the info you find on that whois search is the same as the one in contact and copyright info of that specific pay per click program’s website.
