ok, I went to that paid to surf site and signed up for the other remaining 4. I'm going to put together an information/referral site and publically display all of my stats.
1. to see if I can make some money
2. to see if these guys are honest
3. publically rate them on their reliability Smiling.
4. I need more web sites for my "design" portfolio Smiling

I figure I'll only be out a little bit of time, so if I never make a dime, I really wont be out much Smiling.
(if it pays for my long distance phone bill I'll be thrilled!!!)
take care,

Carolyn,

JP,

Call me foolish, but I am signed up with Alladvantage and have over 1000 direct and indirect referrals. I just downloaded my Viewbar yesterday and already my referrals hours are climbing rapidly!

I figure it this way:

If it doesn't work, what I have lost? A little time, maybe a little bit of money from what I could have been promoting otherwise. (I do mean a VERY little bit of money... I spend very little time promoting this)

What do I gain if this does work? This could end up being a VERY LUCRATIVE program. Check over the site, do the math.

alldadvantage.com - A simple link without my 'ID'...

http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=aot132 - if you would like to sign up, you CAN use my ID if you would like. If you would rather not... then don't. (=

Carolyn- I think this would be great to put on E-Tips if possible. I am making a new design to include reviews of not just web hosting companies, and other cool features. It's not done yet, still need to make a few small improvements and add rollovers but you can get the general idea:

Hey Brian, that would be great Smiling.
I'll give you the url as soon it's a little more complete. So far I only have personal experience with 2 of the programs (not all good) so this site will be updated frequently ---

take care,

I received my Viewbar on July 28th and 'maxed' my time out for July quickly. (Just 10 hours). With my time and my referrals that had received the Viewbar, I reached $15 in the last days of July... not quite enough to get a check. ($20 min).

In August so far, I have almost $50 accrued so far... I will let you know if/when I get a check.

That's great about your numbers, I haven't signed anyone up, everyone on my e-mail list remotely interested was already signed up Smiling. Haven't done much in the way of promoting it yet either but will soon. I find the gotoworld thing a bit annoying also, but it's good for tasks like search engine submissions and forum entries Smiling

take care,
Carolyn

Carolyn,

My AllAdvantage ticker for August is just over $50 now but I have not even touched my GotoWorld browser in 2 weeks or more. To me that browser is absolutely useless - it can't handle subdirectories in the favorites! Since I have many bookmarks, I have them grouped by category and then subdivided after that... so, Gotoworld will have to be updated before it is much use to me.

Good luck to you though - I hope your numbers pick up... (=

It is [red]OFFICIAL[/red] - I got a check for $113.44 today! So... for all of you that said it couldn't be done, well... it not only can, but it has. And I have over $80 'on the books' as of today for September as well.

If you would like to see my check, just stop by this page: http://basketball-game.com/getpaid2.shtml
[red]Warning![/red] - major pro-Alladvantage propaganda on that page!

If you just want to see the check, you can use this link instead:

If I seem a bit happy, well... I am. There were many nay-sayers and I believe that AllAdvantage will just continue to grow from here.

I'm still waiting for my viewbar, would like to hope that a couple of my referals will use it when they get it as well (Posted notes at a couple high schools one day saying that they can earn money using the school computers). :\

I just signed up for "paid to surf" program number 7 ---yikes, a couple of them say that you don't have to really surf but only be online we'll see they aren't up yet. no checks here but I haven't reached the minimum yet Smiling, their stats do look accurate though as far as how long they say I've surfed and what I estimate.

keep up the great job Smiling.

seems most of the nay sayers have actually been proven right. alladvantage didn't deliver what they initially advertised on their site, lowered payout.

i personally feel these programs will continue to slide. this is primarily due to their user base, mostly kids. i personally have nothing against youth (i've got a web site that targets youth), but as a web publisher i know advertisers do in general because kids don't buy their products/services. serving a youth market really cuts down on the big money advertisers like autos, real estate, jobs, gambling, and so on.

however, with all this said i plan on signing up for alladvantage and giving it a try. although, i expect the payout rate to be lowered in the future, yet again.

Fairhousing,

AllAdvantage has never lowered their payout. That rumour is a misunderstanding of what others have truthfully said.

They did state originally that their goal is to pay for 40 hours max at the rate of .50 an hour for you, .10 for those that you refer and .05 for 4 levels below that. The amounts per hour HAVE NOT CHANGED AT ALL. Only the maximum hours started out lower. For July the hours were maxed at 10 hours since they just started out. For August, the max was 15 hours and with their additional financing, September was bumped to 25 hours on the fly - and all the while they have been pushing Viewbars out to more people.

So, their track record shows that they are paying more to their users and I believe that trend will continue.

As I said before, sure they could implode from their growth... but what if they DON'T?

So... if you would like to, I would be pleased if you signed up under me... lol

If not, that is fine too...

if i remember correctly their initial estimates were to pay for 40 hours a week. they do/did have a statement that basically said they'll pay whatever they want (less hours), but that wasn't what they were promoting. they promoted the 40 hours a week. maybe, i just saw this in a dream though.

o'yeah, i'll pay you $1.00 a click thru to my site. however, i reserve the right to pay you whatever i want, whenever i want, and if ever decide to pay up at all.

just kidding, that's my alladvantage parody.

good luck Wink

But the most important part is that they are still paying the same hourly rates (.50, .10 and .05) for the users and referals. They will work the hours up as they get the advertising going... they do have over 2 MILLION people signed up...

i see what you're say, but then i don't see what you're saying.

example: you come to me and say i'll work for you, but i need $100 a week as pay. i say fine, i'll pay you $10 a hour for 10 hours a week. then when the work week starts i tell you that you can only work 5 hours a week at $10 a hour ($50), hello -$50.

just having fun Wink
everybody looks at things differently

anyways, i'd imagine you'll be successful with the program because of the demographics of your site, youth am i right?

Yes, our demographics are mostly male and 15-25 years of age... but another reason I feel I have been fairly sucessful is that I got in and started promoting it fairly early. I jumped in with both feet.

But, it isn't too late to make a few bucks with this... it will just take a bit longer.

I got word that GTW finally put out their earnings for August - only $2 and change CPM. They had based their projections on $12 CPM... so, many on that forum are getting VERY dicouraged ...

I think they had better improve or many will stop surfing their program. (That is the reason I like AllAdvantage - they stated up front exactly how much they would pay per hour).
