These programs consist of a CD, and a membership website that hosts the courses. The lessons teach you how to use Google AdWords to place advertisements for programs that you are an affiliate for.
They also advocate setting up fake blogs and websites to advertise the same Google Kit that you just bought. You may have seen ads like these on Facebook and MySpace. Don't be fooled by these and other sites claiming that you can make money from these programs; any income they're receiving is simply from referring more people to join these sites.
So Are These Google Biz Kits Scams...?
The catch with all these programs is that once you submit your billing info to pay for the S&H you automatically agree to their membership program. When you apply for the Google Home Business Kit you're also authorizing them to charge you a membership fee of up to $70 a month.
This is why these Google Home Business Kits have been called out as serious scams. Most people don't see the fine print which they have cleverly hidden throughout their site. Then a month later they're shocked to see a fee of $70 which they haven't authorized.
There've also been thousands of complaints made against these Google Kit companies, by people who've been charged the monthly fees without even receiving the CD's and membership info.
Now, the guys running these scams are not stupid and are obviously very good at what they do. They've taken many measures to ensure that they can keep operating their scams long term. This includes hiding their websites' urls and consistently changing the names of their programs.
This is what makes my job so difficult, it's almost impossible to keep up with them. When one product is no longer selling they simply change the name and voila they have a new Google Home Business Kit to sell. For instance they've just switched the name to Google Money Master.
By the time there're enough complaints and articles exposing them they've already moved on to a new name and website. I want to show you some examples of these Google Kit sites which you should avoid, I'm also including a long list of program names that they've used in the past along with a collection of fake affiliate blogs that they use to promote them.
