Updated Google Cash Review

Chris Carpenter's original Google Cash system took the affiliate marketing community by storm. Many people jumped on it, made a lot of money, and couldn't believe how "lucky" they were.

They didn't need a website, they didn't have to do customer service, and they could often - although not always - make money while they slept. It really was the internet lifestyle that all the Gurus preached while secretly knowing better.

GoogleCash reviews popped up like weeds and continued to pop up even when Chris Carpenter failed to update the book back in late 2005 and early 2006 - however, Chris eventually DID update the Google Cash eBook...unfortunately, unlike the Google Cash review at WorkAtHomeTruth, 99%+ of the reviews never got updated and the wrong people started buying the book.

While Google Cash is still a terrific method for making ppc profits, it's really no longer a great system for beginners.

If you're a beginner you'd be significantly better off starting with Matt Levenhagen's Campaign Blasts Method, which is a very low-risk method of entering the fray of PPC-based affiliate marketing.

You see often with the GoogleCash method, the best way to make it work is with higher bids on your clicks, but with the Campaign Blasts method a beginner can still bid 10 cents per click and have success.

But for intermediate or advanced affiliate PPCers (affiliates who use pay per click extensively to earn their money) it can be a nice way to dip into the market earn a nice sum of cash and then reinvest that cash into some of their longer-term business strategies.

In fact not long before this Lens went live I netted close to $2,000 promoting just one product with the Google Cash method in a period of only 3 days linking directly to the merchant site.

In the past I would have been very excited about a success like that and of course it's still nice. But now I think about it differently.

I know that making money by direct-linking - sending traffic directly from Adwords to a merchant's site - can become quite unstable as more competition comes in. So now I reinvest the profits into either setting up websites to promote the profitable product or I invest the money into another totally unrelated longer-term business.

I hope I've impressed on you that while the Google Cash method can be a powerful way to use Adwords advertising for the promotion of affiliate products, it's better for most people to take a lower-risk path to PPC affiliates by studying one of the more recent Adwords ebooks.

In addition to Matt Levenhagen's book, I've listed some other Adwords ebooks below that are appropriate for beginning affiliates.
