$o why would anyone pay you to $urf the web?
Sounds crazy & unreal, right?  Well, it's not.

How do they do it?
Well, each company requires you to download & keep some type of advertisement banner active while you surf the net. This concept is very simple. A company gets a lot of money from big companies who want to display their ads on your computer. These advertising companies pay you a percentage of what advertisers pay to reach you while you are connected to the internet. A banner pops up rotating ads continuously while you surf. You simply "Get Paid to Surf the Net!"

Heard you don't make much money?
Well a good way to increase your earnings is to combine the programs together (most don't disturb each other if combined right) and of course to refer as many friends as possible (without spamming of course).  For the most part you should be able to cover most typical Internet Service Provider costs.

So where do I start?
Well I have listed the following programs I've used & have verified to know how premium of quality they are.  AllAdvantage.com is the pioneer of all of these "Get Paid to Surf the Net" programs, the most props goes out  to them.  There are many, many programs offering similar things to one another, but the following are the cream of the crop.  Good luck, happy surfing on your way to make money!

All I ask is you use my reference #'s for each indicated services you sign up for....after all that is the key to making a nice little chunk of money every month.

All of the following are still accepting members.
