Alladvantage - Earn Money for 'Surfing'

Something amazing just happened the other week. I come home after work, and see if I had any letters. And, yes, I had one letter. I looked at it, and thought "That's strange, it's sent from Melbourne, but says 'STATE:' in front of my state. I wonder why..." So I opened it, and I was amazed.

Inside was a cheque for AUD$43.64c!

Not rich, but enough for something nice from the shops. ^_^

The cheque was from AllAdvantage for using their Viewbar.

You might be wondering why someone would send money to someone for the use of their product (and some of you may already know!), but when you 'surf' webpages with their Viewbar, they're collecting data - what sites you see and all the rest of it.

As far as I know, they don't sell this information, but use it to put targeted (I guess - I don't take any notice of their ads!) adverts on their Viewbar while you go browse your favourite websites.

I haven't been sent any spam my way, from them (just the regular spam that you tend to accumulate through internet usage), so I don't feel and invasion of privacy. You can always turn it off when you want to view something privately.

I've found a great way to use it, because I do HTML programming. I use it from work, and get the 12 hours per month (used to be 24 hours, though :( Oh, well...), which translates into the money I got from them. ^_^

Now, it's also a pyramid scheme - you earn a little bit from each person who signed up underneath you. That hasn't gone far, because no-one seems to view webpages. Oh, well...

But, well, I was thinking maybe it was a rip off, but no! I DID get the money! Yay! ^_^

The next cheque will be for over AUD$50, just in time for Christmas!!! Happy!

So, why not join up (under me, of course. ^_~ ) and start earning money for nothing (almost), too?

BTW, they also have a jackpot that you can win - US$50,000. Instead of earning money by the hour, you can earn entries into the jackpot with your surfing. The info (for the jackpot and normal earning money) is all on the site, below!

But AllAdvantage is gone now. Sorry. They were one of the internet companies that has fallen over, died, and taken people's money owed with them.
