In the past, I have reviewed what are called “Data-Entry” programs (or in some cases, they are called “Type At Home” programs). My feelings have been quite two-fold. Let me explain:

1) Is it fair to review (and even recommend) a program that is misleading from the beginning?

2) In some cases, I thought that the programs were OK, so should that be enough to recommend them?

I have relied on my second notion on the topic and provided reviews of Data Entry Programs…until now.

First of all, if you type “data entry” into any search engine, you will get a lot of programs that will tell you that if you just fill out a few advertising forms, you will make hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of dollars. This sounds a little too good to be true, right?

Believe it or not, just two or three years ago, this was very true! What these programs are suggesting is essentially affiliate marketing in its primitive state. At the infancy of search engines and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) programs (like Google Adwords), one could sign up for an affiliate program and then directly promote that product on a PPC. You will fill out an Adwords ad (“data enter”) and then send the clicker directly to your product’s true home page. This is called direct affiliate marketing. There are no intermediate landing pages, no web page designs, nothing!

This no longer works any more. Search engines have wised up. First, they only allow one ad per URL. This means that if people want to promote Sirius radios (for example), only one person will be able to bid for this specific website address on Adwords. Placement of this ad usually goes to the highest bidders. For newbies, this price is usually not within a profitable budget. Secondly, companies like Google also adjust the bids by the quality of the landing page. This prevents re-directing websites and dummy landing pages.

So if direct affiliate marketing no longer works, what are data entry programs really selling you? Good question! Some are actually hip with the times and are really just affiliate marketing programs (teaching you about landing pages, etc. Read more about affiliate marketing). Others still promote exactly what I just wrote about, and this does NOT work any more.

Over the last few months, I reviewed a few programs that I thought that were OK. Then, mega-eBook distributor Clickbank decided to pull the plug on all data entry products: Too many returns. I Still, I held strong with my reviews. Then Google decided to disapprove any ads related to Data Entry. I contacted them and asked them why? Here is what they said:

“Please know that at this time, due to multiple complaints, Google policy

does not permit advertisements for data entry affiliate programs. This
includes ads which direct users to sites that promote the creation or data
entry of other ads directing users to the same site. It has come to our
attention that some of these sites fail to disclose that there may be
significant costs to advertisers associated with these programs, such as
the costs incurred in creating Pay-Per-Click accounts with programs like AdWords.” – Adwords Support

Wow! These misleading programs must really be making people mad. But what did they do to finally make me pull them from my site? Simple: Bad Business! In the few months that I promoted these programs, I did have some visitors who were not happy with the product. This happens. All of these products had money back guarantees. However, getting these companies to respond to our emails and requests was virtually impossible. As someone who supported these programs, I was literally embarrassed and very upset. These programs were a reflection of me and my review. They did not even give me nor my visitors the common courtesy of a response. Since my “Data Entry” problems, I now spend time contacting the authors prior to actually reviewing the programs.

Are “Data Entry” programs a scam? In most cases, yes. They no longer work. For the few cases that are just poorly named products disguised as affiliate marketing programs, I found the service and the support so dreadful that I can no longer even give them the privilege of having their link appear on my site.

I want to let you know in short why joining in Highpaying paidtoclick sites are not recommended in general and why should not trust Highpaying PTC sites to make money in the internet? Yesterday one of friends who asked me to review on this, in fact he wanted to join in few Highpaying PTC sites which are paying approximately $5-$10 per click. Do not get surprised by this .This will not work for members who joined there as well as for the advertisers. However, still you could find a lot of PTC sites in the internet that flying here and there to hook you up. Not very surprisingly when one who trying PTC sites for the first time will get mesmerized with those false promises through advertisements and attractive site design of the websites. Do not join with any sites if you come across any as because it never works for the advertisers paying such a big money for advertising through Paidtoclick programs.

He asked me whether it is recommended to join there or not? I said to him better avoid before wasting valuable time hoping that you’ll get paid. Why it is not true? Well, let me explain you in simple way so that you could understand what is PTC sites and why advertisers willing to go there for advertising their sites there? You know Paid to click sites are the best place to advertise a site for very cheap rate. Let’s say 1000 visitors for $5 approximately. Here how the pay rate will be distributed between members who clicked those ads? Well, when advertiser’s pays $5 for 1000 visitors, the amount will be shared 50/50 or even less; that’s for the site owner as well as for the free/paid members. If the very same site pays 1 cent per click for $5 advertising campaign, there won’t be any profit for the admin to be very honest.

Let’s assume in this way: 100 CENT equal to $1. In that case, 500 cent equal to $5. Right! So if a site pays 1 cent for each ad, it can generate only 500 visitors for $5. What about the rest! Here the site admin failing to deliver another 500 visitors for the advertiser. That’s why PTC site pay a very low click through rate of 000.25 that’s very lower than the cent.
In another case of highpaying PTC sites which pay $5 per clicking the ad which means the advertisers had to invest minimum $5000 for one thousand visitors. This is absolutely nonsense man. Why advertisers had to pay $5000 for advertising in PTC sites? Those available advertising networks like Google-adwords, adbrite, bidvertiser and yahoo etc can easily deliver massive amount of visitors or even more quality visitors then money invested in PTC sites.

Advertisers aren’t fool and they know where to advertise a site to get maximum amount of quality visitors and exposure and only small site owners or blogger will go for advertising in PTC sites in most cases. So if you’re coming to know any PTC site that pays highly do not join as you’ll not get paid. Yet, people are there online who believes that highpaying sites will pay them for the work. It won’t and never. Avoid high paying PTC sites to make money in the internet. If you want to test them…try one or two and you’ll experience it own…do you want to say anything on this? Leave a comment below now. At last…do not join in highpaying ptc sites…got it.
