Don't reprimand me for this! I think it's a very good question personally!

I'm quite a newbie to making money online (5 months old), and have made 1 sale through Clickbank by PPC advertising. I have also tried the usual 'Get Paid To Read Emails' and 'Get Paid To Do Surveys' crap that is regularly found on the Net and pays badly. I've done article marketing, too. I understand all the money-making techniques that I've read about, but I just seem to have no joy with them. I believe that people really are making good money online through these methods, but they obviously have a real knack.
Therefore, I have resorted to this website for a bit of help and guidance.

Anyway, I have an idea, which, for all I know, could already be regularly suggested on this site. I don't know, so bear with me.

Basically, I have signed up with a Pay-Per-Lead program which pays 7 GBP per lead. So I'm thinking that just to get leads can be hard even if it's a free sign-up for my potential referrals.
So I suddenly had the idea to create numerous email accounts in different names. I would then sign up myself using these different email accounts, pretending to be a new referral every time, therefore earning my 7 GBP commission for the lead. I know you get the idea.

Will this work? Is there a way that the PPL program will know that all the sign-ups are done by myself? Is the IP address a give-away? Or is there a way that it can be done?

Well, personally I think it's a real little earner, if it's going to work!

Some help and advice please!

no its not going to work and you will be banned from the network before you see any money.

3 things the network will notice:

1 all the submits are from the same IP
2 non of the leads are converting
3 very high convertion rates

so if you find a way to solve those problems you can make some GBP's soon.

An epic fail my friend. Ditch the idea and think of something else.

Thanks for the replies, guys! I did think that if I had thought up an idea like the one I suggested, then someone would have already got there before me! I did suspect that it was to good an idea to actually work Thanks again!

I know just how you feel. My site has been up and running since May and I have only seen 2 sells from PPC. I have put hours upon hours into my site and it has been through more remodeling than the White House has presidents. Ouch! I know.
I get traffic (paid) 1,000s a month and still no conversations. :feedback:
