Web Surfing Opportunities
Interested in earning some cash while using the internet? Consider
participating in any or all of the following opportunities which pay
you for surfing the web or for simply being online (each program works
differently and has a different payment structure). Membership is free
in all cases and you can quit any time you want. Currently, only the
first 6 or so sites are actually paying -- the other sites have not
yet released their ad programs. However, join now and you can start
adding referrals immediately to increase the amount you are paid in
the future.
If you were to pick only one of the following, go with
AllAdvantage. My other recommendations are Spedia, GetPaid4, and
UtopiAD. In fact, I run these four at the same time!
|
AllAdvantage
|
Get paid 50 cents/hr for running an advertisement
viewbar at the bottom of your screen while you browse the web. Internet Explorer 4.02 or higher must be installed for the viewbar to work (you can continue to use your preferred browser to surf the web). You can earn up to a maximum of 25 hours per month.
|
|
Spedia
|
Get paid approximately 50 cents/hr for running an advertisement
viewbar at the bottom of your screen. Very similar to
AllAdvantage, but this viewbar is a bit longer (displays 2 ads at a
time). In addition, you can also get paid for playing games and receiving commercial email from their sponsors. Viewbar works with both Netscape and IE.
|
|
GetPaid4
|
Get paid approximately 55 cents/hr for running an advertisement
viewbar at the bottom of your screen (they guarantee 70% of revenue). However, unlike most of the others, this program allows you to get paid for doing anything on your computer, as long as you are using your mouse and connected to the internet!
You can earn up to a
maximum of 75 hours per month. Because you can accumulate more time
per month and earn money for doing anything on your computer and not
just for browsing the web, you are required to click on 0.5 to 5% of
ads displayed on your viewbar (simply click on an ad every so often)
to maintain active status. They are still in beta-test, and thus sometimes you can't log in.

|
UtopiAD
|
Here is another ad var which does not require you
to be surfing the net. It also does not require you to click on the
ads. Instead, there is a countdown timer on the bar and every few
minutes, you must pass your mouse over the ad bar to reset the timer
to continue getting paid. Because they don't require you to click on
ads, the payout is less (40% of revenues) than getpiad4 above. But
then again, it's less work on your part. You can also opt-in on
advertising email and get paid when they email you an ad. Currently,
adbars are not given out immediately. It may take a couple of months
after signing up before you will receive your ad bar |
|
AllCommunity
|
Get paid to receive email advertisements. In the future, you will
also be able to be paid to surf the web.
|
|
GoToWorld
|
Use their custom web browser with ads (which is really just Internet Explorer with a modified front-end) to surf the net. Or you can turn their
browser into an advertisement window and then surf the net with your
own browser.
|
|
SendMoreInfo
|
Get paid to receive email advertisements.
|
|
DesktopDollars
|
Get paid 50 cents/hr for running an advertisement
viewbar at the bottom of your screen. Web surfing not required!
However, their current viewbar cannot be moved -- it blocks
part of the screen if you use any resolution besides
800x600. Accounts may take 30 minutes to activate.
|
|
Desktop Horizon
|
Receive "Desktop Horizon Credit Dollars" to keep an ad banner running on your windows desktop. These credits can be used to purchase products and services on their web site for lower prices than anywhere else.
|
|
DotAd
|
Unlike other companies' ad banners, DotAd's small banner pops up every 5 minutes for only 15 seconds.
|
|
ePIPO
|
Standalone application, so it will run with both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
|
|
It Ads Up
|
Standalone application which is active whenever you are online. Web browser does not have to be in use!
|
|
SurfAd
|
Standalone ad bar at the bottom of the screen. Pops up automatically when you sign onto the net. Compatible with both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
|
|
ValuePay
|
Ad banner displays in the top right corner of unused browser window space.
|
|
BePaid
|
BePaid pays you to watch full screen ads on your
screen. Watching these ads interrupts your work,but you will get paid
between 20 cents to a dollar, and you can be selective about which ads
to watch.
|
Website Affiliate Opportunities
If you run your own website and have sufficient hits, you can join
any or all of these advertising programs to earn revenue for traffic
to your site.
|
Commission Junction lets you choose the
banners(s) you want to advertise on your website (each banner has a
different pay rate). They combine commission payments from all
merchant partners you are working with (not all affilate networks
do this) and issue checks on the 15th of
each month when your account balance exceeds $25. I highly recommend this one.
|
|
|
ClickXchange allows you to choose
the banner(s) you want to advertise on your website (each banner
has a different pay rate). They combine commission payments from all
merchant partners you are working with (not all affiliate networks do
this). They do not issue checks until your account balance exceeds $10
and you request payment. Checks are issued on the 15th of each month
and are subject to a $2 service fee.
|
|
|
Clicktrade lets you choose the banner(s) you want to advertise on your
website (each banner has a different pay rate). They combine
commission payments from all merchant partners you are working with
(not all affiliate networks do this)
and issue checks on the 15th of each month when your account balance
exceeds $50.
|
|
|
LinkShare lets you choose the banners(s) you want to advertise on your
website (each banner has a different pay rate). They do not
combine commission payments from different merchant partners, which
means that you need higher traffic volume to get paid
regularly. However, they have a large selection of
advertisers to choose from.
