Get paid to surf! remember AllAdvantage?

At the end of the day I highly doubt it's worth all the effort guys...it's an appealing idea though...anyone pulling in decent dough?

I always looked at it as the same as having them in my taskbar. Only difference is if they are in firefox, I have to click once to bring focus to firefox, then a second time to get the tab I want. If they are in my taskbar, I click only once to get to any page that is already open. 50% Less clicking!

You can use alt + page up or down to quickly skim through the tabs. :) I hate using the mouse and generally use the keyboard to nav around in windows.

I might check this out. I used to run Alladvantage, didn't get many people to sign up, but I could make a steady extra $30 a month. That was with using a cheating program though(it moves the mouse and pretends you are using the computer). Not sure how long this one will stay in business unless their cheat protection is very good.

I was in the top .0001 percent of all advantage hours. I paid my first 2 years of college with it.
 
have fun with this guys. I started this when it came out. Even if you don't cheat they'll delete your account whenever you reach $25 and they have to pay you. This happened to a lot of people and I"ve never talked to anyone who actually got paid.
 
How do you know it is a scam?

Well first off the mathematics behind the site are simply impossible. The site charges advertisers using the following pay schedule:

* 100,000 Visitors - $29.95
* 250,000 Visitors - $59.95
* 500,000 Visitors - $99.95
* 1,000,000 Visitors - $189.95

These are the ACTUAL rates obtained from the surfjunky.com website
http://www.surfjunky.com/advertising/index.php

Lets just start with the minimum amount of 100,000 visits for about $30.00. So that means an advertiser is paying approximately $0.0003 per visit... right? ($30/100 000)

Now a member of surfjunky.com gets paid $0.45 per hour of surfing. The member can surf a maximum of 120 pages per hour (Each page must be viewed for 30 seconds, no multiple windows are allowed. So that is 2 pages per minute, 60 minutes per hour, which equals 120 visits per hour MAX)

Are you still following? Good!

Now go back to our advertising rate of $0.0003 per visit. Multiply this by 120 visits. That means that for 120 visits to his/her website a webmaster is paying ONLY $0.036.

So the advertiser is paying $0.036, or just under four cents, for every 120 visitors to his/her website. However, surfjunky.com is suppose to be paying its members $0.45, or 45 cents, per 120 pages visited.

That means either, 1) surfjunky.com is the worst business in the world and is planning on taking a loss $0.414 or 1250% for every hour a visitor surfs or 2) surfjunky.com is a scam site that never intends on paying its users.

To further amplify this loss consider this. Once a user reaches the minimum $25 payout, surfjunky.com has only made $1.99 from that user (they make $0.036 per hour times 55.5 hours to reach payout of $25). So surfjunky.com is actually taking a loss of $23.01 per payout.

So with a loss of $23 per user. Multiplied by approximately 500,000 registered users at last count, surfjunky.com will be recording a loss of $11,500,000 once members reach payout.

Now I dont want to seem to be over exaggerating because it hurts my credibility. So lets assume only 1 in 10... no 1 in 100... no wait 1 in 1000 users actually make it to payout without cheating, getting bored and stopping, etc. The company will still be taking a loss of $15,000 each payout cycle. That is a loss of $15,000 EACH and EVERY month!

So even if surfjunky.com fully intends on paying all users, and does not want to be a scam, the fact of the matter is paying them is impossible! It just wont happen! They will go bankrupt before 1 payout is made

im not saying that this isnt a scam, but your logic doesnt account for the 4 or 5 text ads displayed across the top frame.

And I dont think it is unreasonable to think that part of their business model would be that a very high percentage of people never hit a payout amount and give up (like I did). kinda like part of the profit margin in the free deal schemes from my signature is knowing that a ton of people will sign up for offers and get others to sign up for offers but never qualify for a free gift....although their business model works regardless since it is a pyramid...
