Keystrokes 4 Cash scam?

Keystrokes 4 Cash is a relatively new site that appears to have been set up in September 2007. The idea behind this site is that you type advertisements for selected companies in Google AdWords and Yahoo search marketing. Everytime an Internet user clicks on your ad and buys a product from the company your advertising, you make a commission.

Sounds like a pretty simply idea so why Keystrokes 4 Cash is charging $49 to train you is abit of a mystery to me. You are also offered a discount on the special $99 VIP sign up, this is just rubbish designed to make you think your getting a better deal. Oh and remember what I said before, be very skeptical of any company that requires a sign up fee.

Truth is, you probably can make money using this system, however after your initial payment of $49 to join, you then need to pay for your adverts, just like if you were using Google AdWords on your own website. Unless you are an extremely good and persistent marketer who can afford high advertising costs, then you are probably doomed to lose money on this system.

I researched Keystrokes 4 Cash on the BBB.com (Better Business Bureau) website, and found that the site was registered under a company called Synergy Investments Inc. A total of 653 complaints were made against the company in the last 36 months for a number of reasons. Look here and read the full report on them. I would recommend extreme caution before joining any website that is associated with this company.
