click here.
- Newer paid email company, Lunartic is offering an very good referral incentive plan on top of their paid email program... If a member gets 15 or more direct referrals within 30 days of joining then they get $100 cash. After that, if they have a total of 45 (on all levels) within 60 days then that's worth an extra $400. A total of 95 referrals on all levels in under 90 days is worth another $500 for a total of $1000.

- UtopiAD members can now receive payment via PayPal. (review here)

(review here)

this link. (Thanks to everyone that pointed that out.)

Click Here to see it.

- New affiliate program out called DatingCash. $50 to sign up. (review here)
- ePIPO just announced that all members would be able to download the software and start making money by the end of July. They're planning to pay their original rates of $.60/hour. We don't know how they're going to afford to do that but they've grown quite a bit recently and have good financial backing. If you're a paid surfing fan, you should be a member of ePIPO.(review here)

| June 17th: |
- New paid email company out called Lunartic. They'll give new members $10 to sign up and pay for 25 levels of referrals.
(review here)
- ClickDough members: if you haven't done it yet, complete your full member profile. Any member who fills it out before the end of this month will be guanrateed at least $.20/hour for unlimited hours each month. The May rates were $.15/hour for members that didn't complete the profile so it's worth the 2 or 3 minutes it will take you. (review here)
|
| June 16th: |
- Brand new paid email company from the UK out called SpamAndChips (how's that for a name?)
(review here)
- New paid searching company out called SearchCactus. They'll give you $2 to sign up. (review here)
- Ikena is back with a new referral promotion. Refer 15 people before June 30th and get a free digital camera. Current members can use their referrals from the last promotion in the new one if they didn't already win the DVD player. Just get previous referrals to group browse once and they count towards the digital camera. This works out to over $10 a referral.

- Ignifuge is paying! More info in the review. (review here)
- New Hours:
There's obviously a trend going on in the paid surfing world. Suddenly all the big fixed rate paid surfing companies are following AllAdvantage's lead and worrying about making a profit. Damn them :-) What this means is that they're lowering the monthly maximum payable hours so that they aren't letting people get paid for more surfing time than they have advertisers to fill. This had to happen eventually. mValue is the most recent to change their hours. Like AllAdvantage's US rates, mValue now pays for up to 15 hours/month per member. A lot of people are upset by this. We can't quite figure out why. Before you go telling everyone how pissed you are at these companies (and hurting their rep) think about this... Unless you spend all of your time with your computer there are more than enough paid surfing companies out there for anyone to get paid for all of their surfing time and then some. All of this is actually a good thing, it means the big $.50/hour companies are now going to be able to afford to stick around for a lot longer. We're talking about free money after all, what is there to bitch about? :-)
Companies that are currently paying $.50/hour for up to 15 hours of surfing per month:
AllAdvantage | mValue |
Jotter
Companies that are currently paying between $.10 and $.30/hour for unlimited surfing time:
Too many to list, start here.
Happy Surfing

- The GetPaid4 website and 'AdvertBar' servers have been down for close to a week now. GetPaid4 hasn't emailed members about the problem and no one we've talked to seems to know what's going on. If you've heard anything, please
email us. Thanks.
- NetFlip (very good paid searching service) has added a 'paid sign up' service to their site... more info in the review.
(review here)
- BigReferral has changed their name to ShopDog and has implemented a 'simpler' referral program. In other words... they now pay you less. They now pay only for direct referrals. We'll be removing the review soon so if $2 a referral interests you, sign up now.
(review here)

| June 13th: |
- It appears that Shareout is either temporarily or permanently offline. The sign up form was hosted offsite by their ISP so it is still working. It's possible they're offline because of spam complaints... we'll see. (review here)

| June 12th: |
- Reviewed an older program that is now worth a look called GossipAsia
(review here)

- Paid start page company, VirtualStartPage just finished upgrading their servers and has improved their service in a number of ways. First, the mininmum check amount is now $10. Second, they've added live online support to their website. Third, they've updated their real time stats and added new advertisers. This company is definitely worth a look. (review here)
- Webmasters: If you haven't seen Terrashare yet, take a look. It's a good one. (review here)
- For anyone that missed this last month... The newest version of the mValue panel (2.1) has some bugs. The major one is that a lot of people can't get the green light to come on. If you're having that problem,
click here for instructions that should fix the problem in almost all cases.

- New 'paid opinion' company out called Ciao. A lot like Epinions. (review here)
- PayPlace has re-launched their referral program so we have re-added their review. $5 for each referral.
(review here)
- ItPaysToLearn has added additional referral tracking. This company is looking better and better.
(review here)
- There is a new referral service out called WePayAll. We've done some research and they are clearly a scam. Don't even consider giving them your credit card information.
- Paid surfing company, Cast-Net, is starting to get things going. They are paying $.30 ($.50 if you click on 1000 banners each month) plus 5 levels of referrals. (review here)

| June 8th: |
- A new paid game company launched a couple of days ago. It's called CashWars. Looks like fun.
(review here)
- Brand new paid surfing company from Russia called Vi-Direct. They plan to pay internationally from the start. Software is already out.
(review here)
- LuckySurfer (paid start page) odds look pretty good. Over 100 people are winning each hour. This is good considering that they don't have all that many members yet.
(review here)
- Paid surfing company, FreeJoin, has released the beta version of their software.

| June 5th: |
- According to a recent release, paid surfing company, CashFiesta, has released the paying version of their software. Looks great so far.
- UniquePager update... It appears that the information on their website was mis-leading. (Most likely because of translation mistakes.) It does not cost $6.95 for 12 months. It's $6.95 a month for 12 months. In light of this, we recommend that members who don't actually need paging service join for free instead of buying the service and use referrals to pay for the yearly fee (6 referrals= 1 year free membership, 10 referrals= lifetime membership.) For everyone that received yesterdays mailing... sorry for the mistake. (review here)
- ItPaysToLearn update... They've fixed a problem with dropped referral ID's. This is a good thing. Members who signed up more than a couple of days ago will need to change their referral links. The news ones are in this format:
http://www.itpaystolearn.com/default.asp?ref_id=AAA184. Good company, by the way, if you haven't checked it out yet. (review here)
- Universal Science has now started paying for referrals. (review here)
|
| June 4th: |
- A spin off of paid surfing company UniqueSurf called UniquePager will pay members $10-15 for each free pager they give away. They'll also pay for 5 levels of referrals. Recommended. (review here)
- Jackpot.com has been great so far, they're always running new monthly sweepstakes with huge cash prizes to go along with their regular prizes. There is one small downside we hadn't noticed, however. Members have to use 50, or more, free spins each month in order to remain 'active.' By active we're assuming they mean 'be eligible to get paid for referrals winnings.' All in all, a hour a month isn't much to ask.
(review here)
- Older paid surfing company, ValuePay, just published their May rates: $.35/hour. Still having some big time crediting problems but worth a new look.
(review here)

| June 3rd: |
- There's a new paid start page (sorta) company out called LuckySurfer. They're from the UK but are paying internationally.

| June 2nd: |
- Spedia is now paying for five levels of referrals instead of the original one. (review here)
- Paid Start Page company Ignifuge is still working on checks. They are an overseas company and have been having problems getting things set up with their bank. In the meantime they are working with PayPal to set up a way for members to get paid through their service. If you're not a member of PayPal yet you can find out more and/or sign up from this page.
- The Gifting Club officially launched yesterday. For the sceptics, everything appears to be completely legitimate. We have already received money from our downline and gifted our upline. If you're interested, it's best to get in as early as possible.
(review here)
- SurfBuzz will be moving on to the happy hunting grounds as of June 7th. We have removed the review.

| June 1st: |
- Just reviewed a brand new 'paid learning' company called ItPaysToLearn. Looks good. (review here)
- We mentioned below that AllAdvantage had raised their minimum payment. We've now heard that they will also be lowering the max payable hours from 25 to 15 for the month of June. To make up for this they're raising rates. Unfortunatley they're only raising them by $.03/hour. Big mistake number two by AA. There's a link below if you want to email them about this.
- Australian paid surfing company, DataCash, tells us they're already paying internationally. This is impressive if they can make it work. They are currently paying AUD$1.00/hour which is equal to around $.50/hour USD. Very good rates for such a new company. They most likely won't be able to maintain these rates for more than a month but, then, we've seen strangers things happen.
(review here)
- A lot of you probably know this, but for those who don't, AllAdvantage recently raised their payment minimum to $30. We think this is a bad move because it means that a member without any referrals will have to use the ViewBar for close to two and a half months before they earn enough to get paid. A lot of those members are going to just stop using the ViewBar altogether. We suggest that everyone who reads this email AA and tell them that the minimum should be lowered back down. You can do that by clicking here. Please refrain from making any comments about their mother. The people at AllAdvantage are very protective of their mother.
