You have seen them, claims of making $10,000 or $50,000 or more a day on the internet while you do only 15 minutes of work a day. One claim that I saw was how to make a million dollars a day with Google Adsense. That one is so outrageous I thought I would take a look into it. They claim with the use of screen shots of their Google Adsense page the huge dollar amounts of what they were earning.
