PAID TO SURF
paid to surf is a very popular business model during the dot com crash period in the late 1990.
Get paid to surf model works by placing advertises on the members
computer screen and pay them from the earning charge from advertiser.
Paid to surf company will have a small program written for the
purpose of delivering banner ads to the members which commonly called
viewbar. All the members who participated with the company have to
install this program to be able to show advertiser ads while browsing
the web.
Viewbar have the ability to tracked the contents on the websites that
the user visited and deliver relevant ads from their advertisers. The
cost of putting ads on the get paid to surf company is typically about
$0.5 per hour of surfing.
Members are usually limited by the amount of time per month typically 15-20 hours for which they would get paid to surf.
Members can generate more earning by referring new members to join to
get paid to surf company which is typically $0.05 - $0.1 per person. It
is because of this referral system that encourage members to spam in
many difference places to get as many referral as they can which is officially forbidden by most of the get paid to surf company user's agreement.
One of the first popular and well known get paid to surf company is
AllAdvantage. They first launch their website in March 1999 with $175
million in venture capital, earned over $30 million in advertising
sales, distributed over $100 million to its members and has
participating members of over 13 million in only a year period from
their referral system which is identical to multi-level marketing system
(MLM) or some called it pyramid scheme model. The other reasons for
their popularity is their scheme that say "anyone could make money on
the internet without much effort".
Due to AllAdvantage success there are many new get paid to surf
company being born such as agloco, clickdough, desktopdollars,
cashsurfers but only a few of them can survive and one of them is
CashFiesta but nowaday many peoples claim that this website no longer
pay their members anymore. Many companies start to disappeared after the
dot com crash period because there are short of revenue which come from
advertising.
After one year and a half in business, AllAdvantage ceased their
operations and shut down their company paying over $160 millions to
their members. Members of the smaller get paid to surf company never get
their earning. From this event, websites such as GPTBoycott are created
to help out those members from being scam.
