What do you get if you cross a surfer, the Internet and affiliate programs?

No, it's not really a riddle. It's a true story of what really happened when Chris Carpenter discovered a neat technique for promoting affiliate products through pay-per-click search engines. He explains his entire system in his book, "Google Cash".

The web site for Google Cash sets up some high expectations, but does the book deliver? For example, Carpenter promises to reveal the secrets of how he makes $33,000 in a month and working less than 30 minutes in a week.

Now if you are like me, you are probably quite wary of claims like these. But Carpenter got my attention. For a start, he was quite transparent about who he is, and even posted photos of himself and his wife on his web pages. I think he's changed his site since then. And he showed evidence of some of the payments people have received after reading Google Cash. I decided his claims were worth a closer look… and purchased a copy.

The e-book was downloadable immediately - as were the bonuses he promised (plenty of those). I find there's nothing worse than paying for a product online and having to wait several days for a response. Google Cash was on my computer within seconds of paying for it.

At this point everything got interesting. You see, I was trying to read Carpenter's book from cover to cover, electronically speaking, but he had me so excited with his system that I wanted to put the book aside and try it immediately.

The great thing about this system is that Carpenter makes it very simple to understand. He writes in a manner which is down-to-earth, very practical, and very respectful of you, his reader, and what you need to know.

I quickly picked up on the system. To give you a bird's eye view, it involves writing small Google ads. That's right, the little text ads that appear to the right of your search results on Google, and also on many other web pages. You write an ad for a company's product, and the company pays you a commission if someone clicks through the ad you wrote and buys their product.

The information I've just revealed to you is also on the Google Cash web site. The book Google Cash goes into much more detail than I did of course, and Carpenter shows you exactly how to pick successful affiliate products and how to set up effective Google AdWords campaigns.

The real proof with a system like this comes from taking what you've read and putting it into practice. As I wrote earlier, I couldn't wait to do that with Google Cash. I quickly set up AdWords campaigns to promote several different affiliate products. Several failed but before long I struck gold. I had a product which was returning a profit of $300 a day.

My only problem now was managing my cashflow. I was spending hundreds in advertising every day, but still waiting for the first commission checks to arrive. But I decided that was is a good problem to have, providing I had chosen reputable companies as Carpenter recommended.

I see I am not alone in my success. The Google Cash site has testimonials from many other satisfied readers.

In conclusion, I have to say that I am very impressed with Google Cash. Carpenter's system is beautiful in its simplicity. Although it takes some persistence and patience to master, Carpenter has provided the tools and techniques to assist you each step of the way. It is well worth the investment of $67. Heck, the product I found above makes me that within a few hours.
