Make Money Online - Get Paid to Surf!

There are tons of get paid to surf programs on the web. Depending on your situation, you may prefer one overthe other. For example, if you only surf for a very limited time each month,you may concern most how much you get paid per hour rather than the hourly limit. If you need to use telnet, ftp, emacs quite often, you will certainly like the programs that still pay you when you do these as long as you are online. If you surf heavly like I do, you definitely like those with no hourly limit programs. BTW, not all the programs are good. Some of them are not worth even a try. In the following, I review programs I have been using and sort them for each category If you think it is useful, please be sure to refer me. :-)

No hourly limit programs:
I recommend the following programs. All of them have real-time statistic update so you don't have to worry if your surfing is getting paid.
# 1 Spedia
This is perhaps the best program if you surf heavily. The serverdown time is almost zero.

Pay rate: is very good: >$0.47/hr. If you can manage register morethan 20 programs through spedia, and surf more than 2 hours a day more than 20 days a month, you may get paid $0.70 an hour.
Tips: You need to visit a new URL each minite to get point. If you want get the premier star, surfing a lone is not enough(the Spedia site didn't mention this). you need click the ads to certainamount (may be 20+ per day). I have been used their veiwbar more than 6hours a day for several month. But I seldom get the stars. I realized thisonly recently.
Bad: require IE or Netscape on top, so you can't do anything else(eg. telnet) to get paid. Also, sometimes my computer is seriously slowed down because of it, especially when I fill out forms. I have to wait for a long time to see what I just typed in. This happens only sometimes.

# 2 ClickDough
This is my next favorite. Their server is also very reliable. Cose to zero downtime. Their view bar is generated by JavaScript, so no download.This is the only program I know of that can be used if you use
UNIX/Linux OS.

Pay rate: $0.17-0.20/hr.
Tips: It is very easy to fill up the hours. Before late May, you need only response to their questions of "Are you their?" which appearabout once per 30 min to continue. Now the period is reduced to about 5min

# 3 PaidForSurf
The viewbar is smaller then the previous two. But the server is less reliable.

Pay rate: $0.25

Tips

# 4 SurfingPrizes
Their viewbar is 50% of most other programs (except paybar). The server is relatively stable.

Pay rate: $0.20

Tips

# 5 DestopDollars
You will get paid as long as you are online. The payment rate and payment delay is big problem. I started using this program since early April, but I haven't received a single payment yet. Their server reliability is improving, but scalabilityis still a problem. I often get "HTTP/1.1 Server Too Busy" message. Then,I have to restart the viewbar. Despite this, I still like it.

Pay rate: used to be $0.40, now it is revenue based
Tips: The viewbar log you out about every 25-35min, you need toclick the "continue" button to continue

# 6 CashFiesta
Despite the very attrative pay rate, it is a greate pain to install their viewbar. I managed to install it on my home PC, but I just couldn't figure out how to install it on my lab PC. The program still contains some bug which may result unexpected shut down by the OS. I would rate it number 1 if all these problems do not exist.

Pay rate: $0.6/hr

Tips

I don't recommend the following programs. Use them only if you have extra space on your screen. The biggest problem of these programs is that your sufing time is not tracked or not tracked correctly.
Utopiad
Their viewbar is also small. It is only slightly larger than the prizebox/paybar.Server downtime is also close to zero. But the stat is often not correct.Sometimes I use it for the whole day (more than 6 hours) while nothingis recorded in their database! Event if they do record you surfing. Therate must be very low.

Pay rate: unknown, estimate < $0.20 if they record it at all
Tips: move you mouse over their bar periodically to keep it happy

CashSurfers
Way too many "HTTP/1.1 Server Too Busy", although the bar can resumeworking once their server load is lower.

Pay rate: ?
Tips: a dialog is pop up about every hour. It may appear at anyposition in you screen. You have to click OK to continue. So cheaters,be aware!

Long hourly limit (>40hour/month) programs:
I recommend the following programs:
# 1 GetPaid4 (my refid is wenbing)
Their server is very unreliable. But once the server is up, your surfing is tracked real-time and correctly.

Pay rate: $0.4/hr, 75hr limit

Tips: They require a reasonable clickthrough rate (%0.5-%5)

Bad: server down time too much. Viewbar too big.

# 2 Surfing2Cash
The statistics are usually not shown up-to-date. But I believe your surfing time correctly tracked done.

Pay rate: $0.4/hr, 40hr limit

Tips: They start tracking the clickthrough rate

Bad: require IE or Netscape on top, so you can't do anything else(eg. telnet) to get paid.

I am still experimenting the following programs:
ValuePay (pIggy)
The stat is apparently not up-to-date. At this point, I am not sure if the surfing time is not tracked correctly. So be cautious about this program.

Pay rate: $0.48/hr, $50/month cap

Short hourly limit programs:
I recommend the following programs:
# 1 Jotter (please add my refId wenbingz1999)
This is a brand new program. Their viewbar looks very cool.

Pay rate: $0.5/hr, 15hr/month
Tips: If you want install on Winnt, you need service patch 4 or above

# 2 mValue
They improved greately from their old viewbar. The surfing limit is reduced to 15hr/month unfortunately.

Pay rate: $0.5/hr, 15hr/month
Tips: If you want install on Winnt, you need service patch 4 or above

# 3 AllAdvantage
This is the oldest program. In stead of setting the hourly limit higher (they used to talk about 40hr/month) they reduced it to 15hr.

Pay rate: $0.5/hr, 15hr/month
Tips: It is not easy to log on to their server to check your stat. They probably have too many subscribers.

# 4 PaysU
Sometimes my viewbar cannot connect to their server. Stat update not real-time.

Pay rate: $0.5/hr, 25hr/month
Tips: If you want install on Winnt, you need service patch 4 or above

# 5 Paybar(please add my refId 1401352449)
Very small viewbar. Although the pay rate is pretty bad, it doesn't hurt to run it somewhere on your screen. It also has very nice real-time stat update

Pay rate: $0.6/1000ads, 15000ads/month
Tips: A reminder dialog is poped up about every one or two hours, you have to click OK to continue.
