A wave of money making programs is sloshing the internet, offering surfers to get paid for nearly everything - in fact for consuming targeted advertising. Some programs have started already, some claim to have paid their respective members. Its unlikely for the common surfer to get rich - although it is often advertized as get rich fast scheme - but a little piggy cash could helf to pay for the internet related costs.
On this page we have collected a list of such programs. Each program description provides a direct link to the respective program - no need to write the URL down or type it in yourself. (Those links contain of course our referral ID - why should only the others earn? If you don't provide a referrer, you don't gain anything - just the program makers don't have to pay for your referral. So please always enter the referral ID of the person/website you got the link from. You want other to do the same with your referral ID, don't you?)
We have added some information about those programs, not provided on their main or join pages but in their terms and rules - or things that just can be found by getting through the join and log in process. These include not beening able to log in ever again with cookies or java disabled or that the paybar does not work without cookies or some version of Internet Explorer installed on your system. (What lets us suspect that some programs are just microsoft promotion programs.) Or be aware that with some programs you can only earn as much through your referrals as you surf yourself!
Remember with all programs: Read the FAQs carefully even if it takes some time. It is as much important as to learn if your browser, country or Operating System is supported. Many programs don't run without some version of IE installed. You may use your usual browser - but who knows what wacky things IE does in the background of your system ...
Most of these program do pay you for new members, you refer. You get your share of their earnings. But be aware! Read the small print! All Advantage lets you only earn as much from your referrals as you surf yourself. (If you surf 1 hour and another AllAdvantage member you brought to the program surfs 25 hours, you only get payd for 1 hour for that member!) Not the fairest system, especially since surfers with netscape or mac cannot use the surfbar at all!
There are even programs whos join form depends on java or activated cookies. We will add such information and programs as we get to know them.
There are 4 differnt types of pay-programs:
pay 4 surf (read ads in some adbar, visit webpages, vote)
pay 4 read (emails, newsletters)
partner programs (paid for sales or clicks)
Click-through programs (paid for clicks on banner)
Pay 4 surf
Generally the first step to earn money with this program type is downloading and installing some "AdBar" (viewer, xbar, harry). During the join process you told them about you and your hobbies and interests. Knowing your interests they provide your adbar with targeted ads. A variation of that lets you visit specific websites, where you have to type in a code.
Pay 4 read
The second group asks for your "profile" as well. They will send you newsletters or promotional e-mails with codes embedded. You have to type (or paste) in those codes on the respecticve homepage of those programs to earn money. Each mail/newsletter gets you a special amount of noney (some cents).
Partner programs
This type pays you for referring potential customers to their websites - with banners, e-mails or word of mouth. To get paid for the referral the new visitor/customer must enter your personal partner ID when entering the website. Some programs pay you for clicks on the banner (click through programs) some for sales (partner programs). There are differences as well about the time a referred visitor is seen as referred by you (some programs only pay for visitors coming directly from your website - sometimes with cookies only - some programs file that visitor as "your" customer forever).
Earnings
The amounts of money one can earn with those programs are usually quite small. International programs pay in Dollar, banking charges for writing and/or sending cheques are deducted from your earnings. Some programs even charge you a monthly fee for administrating your account. Payments are due when a specified amount is reached (25, 50, 100 Dollars). Be aware: Some Programs even charge you for joining!
None of the programs allows spamming! If you do so, your account will be closed and you loose verything you earned with that program so far!
If you click on one of the program names on this page, you will be taken to the join or mainpage of the respectoive program.
Effective March 4, 2000, the AdPerks site has been discontinued due to
lack of sufficient advertising revenue to accommodate the membership
base and overhead costs.
To Members: Any points you earned during the month of March 2000
have been converted to cash based on the previous month's Points Cash
Value of $9.25 per 100,000 points. As stated in the Membership Terms,
in the event of the discontinuance of the AdPerks program, you will be
sent a check for your outstanding earnings (less a $1 check processing
fee) only if your earnings total at least $10 at the time of discontinuance of
the AdPerks program. Checks will be mailed by 4/20/2000 to those who
qualify.
To Advertisers: If you purchased ad credits and had any unused ad
credits remaining in your account, then you will be sent a check covering
the amount of remaining ad credits based on the rate you paid for the ad
credits. These checks will be mailed to you by 4/20/2000.
AdPerks hat seinen Betrieb mit Wirkung vom 4. März eingestellt. Wir denken, weitere werden folgen. Hoffentlich demnächst auch die Börse, damit unsere Welt wieder andere Dinge (und Wesen) in den Mittelpunkt stellt statt ausschließlich der "kleinen grünen Scheinchen" - oder deren nicht einmal existente "digitale" Varianten.(Lese Douglas Adams "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis")

Not a pay 4 read but a win 4 read program. You can win one of 24 prices a month, you are not paid per email! Simple join site - just enter email and username - but: they do not send you your password via email and there is no way to cancel your account. They state that they won't give away your data but they don't ask for much. BUT: You have to choose categories. And when you choose one, you are taken to microsofts listbot page where you have to fill in an extensive questionaire just to get some damn emails. Your privacy has never been one of microsofts worries ... international.
Eigentlich kein verdienen-für-email-Lesen- sondern ein gewinnen-für-email-lesen-Programm. Für die "gewaltige" Chance, einen von monatlich 24 Preisen gerwinnen zu können, muß mensch sich jeden Tag eine email pro gewählter Kategorie ins mailfach schicken lassen. Einfache Anmelde-Seite, aber keine Möglichkeit, den Account zu kündigen. Es muss mindestens ein Interessensgebiet ausgewählt werden. Paidemail verkündet, daß sie die privaten Daten nicht weitergeben, aber mehr als email-adresse, user-id und von vom geworben wird gar nicht abgefragt. Der Hammer kommt bei der Auswahl der Interessensgebiete. Dann landet mensch nämlich bei microsofts listbot und muß einen ellenlangen Fragebogen ausfüllen und Fragen bis fast an die Kinderkrankheiten der Großmutter Auskunft geben, nur um ein paar läppische werbe-emails empfangen zu dürfen. Und die Privatspähre anderer hat Microsoft ja noch bensonders gekümmert ... Internationales Programm.
