Reality is that everyone wants to make some money and the internet provides many opportunities to be able to do that.  Unfortunately, some have gone too far though.  The sophistication of the search engines, although impressive, is unable to filter out the scams.

Unfortunately, it is not a scam until someone has been scammed.  Surely everyone knows about the links like “Get paid to take a survey” and “Get paid to read email” and “Create your own internet business”.  All of these too good to be true captions are just that – too good to be true.  If a sign up fee is requested to obtain information to make money, chances are high that a scam is in place.

On the other hand, there are many writing and blogging opportunities where voluntary writers contribute quality information to many websites.  The only way they get paid is by readers clicking on the Google or Yahoo advertising links.  It costs the reader nothing but can make a difference to the writer and the owner of the site.  So if you think something is good, click on as many links as you have time for to show your appreciation. 

Furthermore, a word about the scam links.  Maybe collectively, readers could click on these links without signing up.  The more the readers click on the links, the more the owner of those scams have to pay the providers of the links (like Google and Yahoo for example).  If the owner of the scam link has to pay too much for the return they are getting in sign ups it will no longer be worth their while keeping the site.

So, show your appreciation for good stuff and get rid of the crap stuff!  Click on the scam links (never sign up!) on the pages of information you find beneficial to keep.
