Product Description
Google Profusion is a work at home toolkit that helps you get started making money with Google. The site also claims you can earn money with Facebook, Craiglist, and eBay. It comes with a Google Adwords training workshop that teaches you how to build successful ad campaigns, an online profit workshop, and a money DVD filled with many reports.
Detailed Overview
The Google Profusion toolkit is an offer I came across while surfing through the internet. The site claims that you could be making anywhere from $250-$873 working from home. The site has some testimonials from users but it seems like these are just made up reviews with stock photos of various people.
As you know, there have been many scams that are promoted as “make money with Google” trial offers. These offers usually have you requesting a toolkit where you pay a small shipping fee. The offer can be seen on fake news sites or fake blogs that are created to look like real users are commenting on the blog.
The company actually does give you access to online training, reports, and DVDs but the problem is with the billing. At first you can buy the product for $19.95 but you will be charged a monthly fee of $70 after the initial payment. Many people have complained that the company does not answer their phone or answer their emails. So if you want to cancel your membership, you will have to jump through a lot of hoops and go to your credit card company.
As far as the actual product goes, the training for Google Adwords and the Online Marketing is very general. You can find this kind of training just about anywhere on the Internet. While it may be helpful for the average person with no idea of how Internet marketing works, people who are already familiar with the industry will not realize any value.
The DVD that you are given is filled with hundreds of resources and ebooks. Many of these ebooks are basically free ebooks you can find online. The majority of them are ebooks with resell rights and it seems the company has basically packaged all of them together inside the DVD.
Reputation
In conclusion, I highly recommend you stay away from Google Profusion. Many people have reported having problems cancelling their membership and continually being charged against their will. You will be put in an autobilling program and have trouble cancelling the payments. This seems to be another one of those “Make Money From Google” scam offers.
Domain "Whois"
The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The owner of "Google Profusion" has purposely made their Whois information private. While not always a bad thing, this could mean they have something to hide.

Scam! Scam! Scam!
I fell into this product by going on it's name Google Profusion. I thought this is a product by Google Company but this was a real scam as like other companies. Do not go by the name. My credit card was charged and I never got the refund. This product is of no use. Just a complete waste of money. Even if this product is given for free then please don’t take it as it will ruin whatever knowledge you have got about Google ad sense. The company which launched this product actually doesn’t exist. I tried to contact the company but no reply. Please do not buy this product.

I recommend people to stay away from this
I purchased this product two months ago. I was hoping to increase my EBay sells. I had to wait five weeks until I got the kit and I was very disappointed. The quality of this product is very bad. I thought that it’s only 20$ but I was wrong. After one month they charged 70$ from my credit card. They are misleading people making them think that the product is only 20$. The online training is very basic and it didn’t help me improve my earnings. When I wanted to cancel my membership I didn’t get any answer. I had to resolve this problem with my bank. I recommend people to stay away from this.

I don't reccomend using this
I would not recommend using this site. I mean it's a basic waste of time and money, I don't want to spend $70 a month plus the initial $20 for something that doesn't help much. I found this site quite a while ago and I was quite mad when I found out they charged me a extra $70 on my credit card so I had to quickly call them and email them but nothing happened. So I eventually I went to my bank to resolve the matter. Too bad I didn't know before that this site was on here and then I would have known it is basically a scam. The book doesn't even help and I don't recommend this for anybody. It's better to find a different site if you need the help it 'supposedly' gives.

Do not buy this product
I bought Google profusion because I thought it would be an easy way to make money, it was with Google which is one of the most used search engines on the Internet so I thought it was legit and it was only $20. I was wrong.
When I got the toolkit, which took around a month for it to get to me, I was annoyed to find out that it didn't work and that I wasted $20, but it wasn't just $20, a week later from when the toolkit came to me, I got billed $70, I tried sending emails to the company but they didn't bother to reply so I contacted my bank and everything got sorted out, but I did have to pay the $70 for the month as well.
I recommend you do not buy this product or you will get scammed like I did.

Complete rip off
Well I bought the product about a month ago and I got charged 20 dollars. I bought the product thinking it was going help me understand Ebay more but as I was soon to find out, it didn't. It just confused me a whole lot more than I already was. So basically I was charged 90 dollars for nothing! As soon as the first month was over I terminated the program because it didn't help me one bit. I kept using this product over and over to see if it would help me but it didn't. I strongly don't recommend this for anyone unless you want to waste your money on something useless.

Biggest Scam ever
This is the biggest scam I have ever encountered. The low starting price really sucks you in, because you think, hey make money with Google, the biggest search engine on the planet is great right?. Wrong. The information that they send you is completely useless. Plus it takes a while for you to get it. Then you realize that you have been duped, and you try to cancel your membership. This is impossible as you don't reach anyone and don't get a response. You then realize that they have billed your credit card for $70 which you will never see again. I however was lucky. I contacted my credit company and told them what happened. They got the money back for me. I suggest that anyone that has been scammed by this company do the same thing. You pay a lot and get nothing.

110% scam!
Do not be fooled by the get-rich-over-night promises! It is a scam and you'll lose a lot of money if you fall for it(like I did). First of all, I was supposed to pay just 20 dollars for the "free kit". But I was billed much more, about 60 dollars for the first month membership, which made me very angry, because the 15 days trial period wasn't even over. I then realized it was a scam and tried to cancel my membership, but I continued to receive bills. I then began to panic. I tried to cancel the membership but money continued to leak off my card, so I blocked the transactions to those thieves, and ignored the e-mails they sent me after that.
DO NOT FALL FOR THAT SCAM!

Another 'make money with Google' scam
I tried this out a few months ago when making money with Google started popping up in my mind. Google Profusion is not one of the legitimate ways to make money. First of all, the video training and tutorials it gives do not work. They don't give content related to instructions to work with Google - it only says the results, and what making money with Google really is. I canceled my trial membership immediately.
The problem was it didn't work. After the 15-day trial period was over, they billed me $19.95, and I was extremely shocked. I contacted the support team, and they didn't reply. I realize I was scammed - and I reported the site. That didn't change things. Luckily I contacted the bank and they broke up the contract, and I only lost 20 dollars out of this. It's a total scam! Watch out!

Don't fall for it!
It's a total scam I can confirm it. At first I thought it would be great to learn how to make money off google but I ended up losing 20 dollars and then another 70 dollars from a fee.
I was tricked by their add on facebook and I regret it now.
If you however have been tricked into this go to your credit card management and cancel it immediately because it keeps leaching money!
And even when you try to cancel it you'll have a hard time because the membership won't go away and you'll start receiving e-mails about confirming the ending.
Total SCAM! Lost 90 dollars to this idiotic crime...

Scam and worthless
I saw some ads where people from different countries claimed that they earned tons with Google Profusion. So I decided to try it out. After paying 19.95 they will automatically bill your credit card 70$ a month. You can not cancel your membership as you don't get anybody on the phone when you call the number. I finally figured out how to stop their automatically billing system after paying for 2 months. Also the information you get from the DVD is poor at best and it's definitely not worth the 70$ per month.
So I highly recommend not to buy this product.

This is bull@#!$
Making money on the side of going to school seemed like a great thing to do, so I ordered the package.
$20 and it took a month to get to me.
I followed everything and one day I come home to a bill sitting there for something I already payed for, so I payed it again maybe thinking it was a different fee. A month later I barely made $4-$5 with this piece of crap and I come home to another bill in the mailbox.
This is a piece of crap and a major scam. It's useless. Don't even consider it.

Scam! Don't buy it!
I heard about this through a friend who thought it looked legitimate. It was only about $20 so I figured "even if it is a rip-off, it's only $20, right?" Wrong!
I paid for it and didn't get anything from them! And if that's not bad, a couple weeks later I got a second charge of $70. It's good money making for them I guess.
It took me several weeks to get them to stop stealing from me, and ended up losing about $150 in total.
Don't fall for this.

Very big mistake
BIG SCAM! I came across Google Profusion because they placed ads all over Facebook. The ad even featured Filipinos like me who “claims” to be earning thousands of dollars through Google. These ads even contained payment proof such as pictures of the checks these people supposedly received. I was a newbie then, and wanting to make a full-time income from home, I bit the bait. I canceled even before the 15-day trial period was over, but lo and behold, I was billed continuously for the next 3 months following that trial. I had to cancel my credit card just to stop the billing, and I would STRONGLY advise everyone to stay away from this site. It’s a huge scam, because not only won’t you get your money’s worth, but they will keep taking money from your credit card and won’t even listen even if you tell them you want to cancel. Keep away from Google Profusion. In fact, someone should shut them down before they victimize more people.

Don't even dare to buy: Pure Rip-off
Be aware of this sort of scam! I helped out a friend of mine who got caught by the "make money with google" solution. At a first look, the product seems nice and very helpful for only 20 bucks (quite basic information, but good to start with), but after one month he received an extra monthly fee of 70 bucks. This was insane so he tried to cancel his 'membership'.
Because that ain't working, he contacted me and with a lot of emailing between the two parties, we finally canceled his membership.
Now, 4 months later I tried to get back to their site, and what I expected: It is gone, No money make solution they offer, just a silly online adventure game!
I recall: Please, Don't Buy This Product, You Will Get In Real Trouble! -> Worthless!
