How many of us have not been tempted to take one of those promising Google jobs posted online? That's right, I am talking about those that guarantee you will be making thousands of dollars per month for simply posting links on Google. If you have used pages that support advertisements, like Facebook for instance, I am sure that you know what I am talking about.

But in case you haven't come across any of this apparently exciting opportunities, I will give you some background.
