Sites that pay you to surf...?

Bouchie

Yesterday I downloaded the CashFiesta and CashSurfers toolbars. For those who don't know, they run ads on your screen as you surf and do your business online. Cashfiesta pays a lousy 1 cent for every 1000 points you earn (points are earned as surfing time passes), while CashSurfers pays 2 cents for every 1200 points. You can do a lot better with referrals and signing up for "special offers" (which basically is just an excuse to get your inbox spammed). Back in the day, I use to have the AllAdvantage bar on my computer. They actually sent me cheques each month, I was impressed. The cheques were only small (around $30.00), but it paid for the Internet service at least.

When I was in college, the guy who sat next to me use to make in the thousands of dollars range every month using AllAdvantage. He had such a huge number of referrals. I think they closed shop now though; he probably made them bankrupt.

The point to all this....does anyone else use these types of services, and what are your thoughts on them?

I never used them and probably never will.

One of my friends had AllAdvantage in college, and the thing was, you couldnt just let your browser sit there idle, you had to actually be doing stuff to accumulate "points". So he found a program that randomly opened sites on his browser to make AllAdvantage think he was surfing the web when he was sleeping, in class, etc.

Yeah, that's what the guy next to me did too. He used a program that randomly kept his mouse pointer moving.

Why isnt everybody doing this? it sounds like a good deal!

Because most of them are scams^

the mouse thing doesnt work anymore, you have to do something every 10 minutes now I forget what it is, but its to avoid the mouse moving program...
