How To Tell If A Site Is A Scam
You know I have been working online long enough to see so many sites out there that are scam site and other sites that are not a scam but when you Google them it looks like they are.
Well there are some key ingredients that can jump out at you to tell you a site is a scam - the main one is that if it's too good to be true and you are setting there asking yourself - how in the world can they offer that - then click the x at the top corner and run.
Other ways to tell if a site is a scam is most of these sites are ONE pagers and full of promises that no one can ever fulfill. They will have FAKE Testimonials and even those fake screen shots showing you their Paypal and Alertpay - those are so easy to create.
While researching how to tell if a site is a scam, the one thing that I did learn was when you put in a site into the Google Search (which I do BEFORE I join or buy from them) is that not all headlines are true. Most of you know my latest venture has been Global NPN and I'm going to use them as an example of what I'm talking about here.
If you Google Global NPN - you are going to see the front page full of headlines with scam in them - BUT wait - take a look closer at the true picture here. The first one is The Global NPN Scam- but the funny part is that after you read the article - which most will not do - you will find out that it was written by a single father of two that loves Global NPN and is making money but you know why scam is in his title.............Google will rank you higher if you put scam after the title of a company or product and it's all about being on that front page.
Continue on down the page and you will see that there is NOT one article or video that is saying anything bad about Global NPN . All they were doing and all they were interested in was getting to page one on Google.
So I ask you, if you had an honest company out there that people were happy with and you ask your potential lead to Google and check out your program that you are telling them about, a company that is legit and really doesn't have any negative reports, posts, articles or videos out there about them - is that really fair??????
This has been one of the things that has bugged me for quite awhile and just wanted to make people aware that you can't always believe what you see - before you just read a headline and think it's the truth - take the time to read and see the whole picture - look most closely before you make a final decision.

Absolutely true. I run across those one page hyped up scams all day long. Its amazing to me how many people actually fall for that crap. As for using the word scam after the title, all that does is make your company look bad. Why would someone do that? I am proud of the company I work with and would never defamate the company just to get rankings on Google. GREAT article Nancy!

Nancy, it is the Guru's of SEO teaching people to market like this.
The word Scam is "HOT" so they make their articles keyword rich using the word.
This can hurt a reputable companies name, but on the other hand if a site was a Scam, people sometimes miss the fact that it is just the word of swindler that wants to make a quick buck of you, they are worse than the original SCAMMER.
