RIP Data Entry and "Type at Home" schemes

In a shake-up of its marketplace, Clickbank has removed several extremely dubious "Data Entry" products from its catalogue.

Some of the most popular such as Data Entry Pro and Data Entry Bank have now disappeared.

These products, and I use that term loosely, were grossly mis-advertised leaving a lot of people feeling scammed once they had paid their money.

Of course, not everyone swallowed the loss and many people took up their complaints directly with Clickbank by asking for a refund.

Obviously, the high number of refunds demanded has prompted Clickbank to act and now these schemes have been removed.

But...

There are a great many people still advertising these products via AdWords and their own "cookie-cutter" sites.

Until word gets around these people will be running adverts which lead to dead Clickbank pages - wasting money in the process.

There's a lesson to be learnt here - don't promote rubbish because it might not always be around and you could be left with a hole in your bank account plus lots of useless links cluttering up the internet!

Hi there, I have just received a type at home opportunity which has come via Mark Warren

www.type-at-home.com

This is being touted as the no 1 work at home opportunity and would welcome any views ... is this more of the same scam wise?

Unfortunately, it looks like it.

This scheme used to be on Clickbank but was taken off it because they want to distance themselves from these schemes.

Stick with Google Cash, it is a much better program which gives you a solid plan for writing Google AdWords for profit. My results:
