A few months ago, the web information company Alexa redesigned their website and since then I’ve been noticing these incredibly distasteful advertisements pitching weight loss products, wrinkle removers and suspicious get rich quick schemes.

The ads as posted by pulse360 onto the Online version of the Washington Post (washingtonpost.com) lead to misleading web sites that have a very similar structure and some identical features.

Recently I noticed that The Washington Post has found another clever way of increasing their revenues by offering local ads. These ads are designed to read the viewer’s IP address and determine the physical location. All this could be interpreted as a clever marketing trick, but my admiration for the Washington Post’s new ways to create Online revenues faded quickly as soon as I found out that the location information was not used to provide real local ads, but to modify the ad’s message in a very misleading way.

Kelly Richards of Conway, MA never thought she would have a job working at home until one day she filled out a simple form online. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her two children.

As I said, the whole thing is a scam. The scammers illegally use the good reputation (and the logo) of a company like Google, who, apparently is not aware of the scheme. The Google Profit Library is not related (in any shape or form) to the search engine giant.

Surely enough, everything about the Google Profit Library is a scam. First of all, the Google Profit Library is NOT associated with the search engine giant. It even goes so far that your credit card information is being passed to several other businesses, and they will charge you for services if you miss the cancellation deadline for services that come with the Google Profit Library.
