Can this be real?
Yes, this is for real. I'm making over $600 per month from several of these companies and I have friends that are making over double this. This is a new way of placing ads where they know there are people.  (Even if you might not be watching them.) In fact, this is a lower cost way of advertising than many other mediums like TV, radio or newspaper.



When do they pay me?
It is this simple.  These companies get advertisers to pay them for placing a banner on your computer.  The companies than share this revenue with you for watching the ads.  In fact, the more people like you who sign up the more these companies can charge for their ads which means the more they can pay out!  




What can I expect to make?
You can expect to make around $30 per bar with no referrals.  It is a relatively easy calculation to find out how much more you will make with referrals.  Many of the sites have referral calculators to do "What if I had X referrals" calculations.  For example go to  Alladvantage's payment calculator.




What is the catch?
There are no catches. There will be a limit.  At some point everyone will have these on their computers so the number of referrals you can get will be limited. This is still a long way from happening.  But the key to making a lot of money is to get your referrals early so that there are still many who have not already put them on their computer.




When can I start to make money?
This depends. There are many companies who right now have enough ad revenue to start paying.  Many more are close to getting their sites up and fully running.  Even if they are not paying yet it is still a good idea to sign up and start recommending your friends.  After all, it is easier to get new referrals on these sites since fewer people know about them.




How do I refer others?
Usually shortly after you sign up, you get a membership number or ID number. When you recommend people you can give them your number and hope that they use it when they sign up, or you can refer them link that already has your number in it, like this one: http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=FNY139. Putting banners on your web page or e-mailing friends with this link noted are just two of the more common ways of getting referrals. What you do not want to do is spam!

Are there any specific rules or restrictions?
Usually you can only have one account per person and you can only surf on one computer at a time. You often must be actively surfing which means that you must be actively on-line (not with your browser open in the background) and or moving your mouse periodically. And if you want to get paid you have to have a valid mailing address.




What are these anti-spam policies?
Basically you do not want to send e-mails to strangers.  This tends to upset them and is not effective in getting referrals.




What if I want to quit?
It is no problem to quit.  Follow the directions at the site to delete the bar off your screen and ask them to drop your account.  But why?
