alladvantage.com

This is probably the best known 'pay as you surf' model, where you get paid for having continuous ads in a small adbar on your screen whilst browsing the net.

The inconvenience this involves is relatively small and adequately offset by the money you earn. This increases rapidly as you refer friends and colleagues to the service, and you even earn for their referrals (known as extended referrals).

Earnings are calculated in local currency (eg sterling payments are 30p per hour on line, plus additional payments for extended referrals), payment is made by cheque sent to your home address on a monthly basis, as long as a minimum amount (£18 in the UK) has been earned. Registration and set-up is straightforward, and ongoing use has not highlighted any problems.

The Press has been giving alladvantage rave reviews - they now have over 5 million members, and are well funded - they received $100 million in a third round of venture funding, having previously raised $31 million.

This is the best scheme we are aware of and receives our top recommendation.

paybar.com
Paybar is both quick and easy to set up. The paybar itself is relatively small and can be positioned anywhere on your screen.

You earn money all the time you are conected to the Internet and using your PC - not just when you are browsing! This means you will continue to earn when using your email or other applications. This is great news if you have a free internet connection - you can just connect and leave the bar running all the time you are using your computer - even if you are not actually using the net!

Paybar is our number 2 recommendation after alladvantage.com

cashsurfers.com
Cashsurfers.com have just updated their software - the result being a reliable service which works well alongside other schemes (A good combination is Cashsurfers, Paybar and Alladvantage).

Our current number 3 recommendation.

GetPounds.com
GetPounds.com pays you to view adverts whilst using your PC - you do not have to be surfing the web!

The payment rate is excellent - £1 per hour up to a maximum of £25 per month. All you need to do is install a small Adticker on your computer desktop.

The Adticker works totally independently of any other programme on your computer and does not interfere with the way you work or use your computer. It displays advertisements that are tailored to your likes and preferences.

You also earn money for referrals.

For every new member you refer, you get a bonus of 5 pence each time they earn £1. Additionally, if the new member refers an additional member, then the original member gets an indirect referral bonus of 2 pence for every £ the indirect referral earns.

The chain of referrals continues up to 2 levels.

bepaid.com
BePaid.Com takes banner advertising to the next stage, by paying you to view targeted full screen advertisements or messages on your computer.

You will choose whether to view each individual ad (which can earn you up to $1, based on the time taken to view). On this basis earnings will range from $20 to $100 per hour! Introducing friends will increase income further, when the scheme goes live shortly.

This seems to be a very lucrative scheme, however until it goes live, it is impossible to judge just how much of a pain (or how useful) the adverts will be. However, registration is free and easy, therefore you have little to lose from signing up and trying it out.

DotAd.com
This is a welcome variation on the standard PAYS service. Instead of the traditional advertisement bar, DotAd uses a device they call 'Harry'

Harry is a small icon positioned on your desktop that will earn you money while you surf. You choose if and when to take advantage of Harry's features while you enrich your experience on-line and earn your share of the advertising money.

DotAd are phasing the rollout of Harry, and have indicated a 6-8 week 'waiting list' for distribution of the software. Of course, they allow you to join and refer your friends in the meantime.

The payment rates are reasonable, and it looks like this could be a low hassle scheme - so it may be worth getting on that waiting list.

We are still waiting for our own copy of the software - once we have this we will let you know just how good it is!

getpaid4.com
Getpaid4.com claims to be the highest paying multi-program of its kind on the Internet!

As well as the usual PAYS service, you can also earn money for sending and reading email and for receiving text messages to your mobile (see adBroadcast under our free money listing). New schemes are being added on a regualr basis.

The service is professional and the adbar is quick and easy to download. (Once you have registered, you need to go to the support section to download the bar.)

Getpaid4.com has the potential to become one of our top recommended schemes. However, we have recently had some problems running the bar, and have contacted getpaid4 with a view to resolving these.

We will update these comments once the problems we have experienced have been resolved.

allcommunity.com
This company offer a number of different ways to earn money from both your own use of the net, and the activities of your referrals. Amazingly, the company will pay you 3 cents simply for each email you receive in relation to your specified interests, (plus a further 1 cent for similar messages received from up to 4 levels of referrals).

An adbar scheme is also expected to go live shortly, with a similar payment model to alladvantage. Additional income can be earned through use of allcommunity as your ISP and for any purchases you make through the site. Sign-up to the email program is a no-brainer as this is straight forward to set up and very little hassle.

Users of the most popular email packages (eg Outlook Express) can even set up rules to automatically move the mails out of your inbox into a separate folder.

gotoworld.com
Gotoworld operates on exactly the same basis as alladvantage, but with better rates of income for referral business. However, referral income is limited by the amount of time you surf yourself during any month.

Payments are made each month by cheque when accrued earnings reach $20. Download and installation of the adbar was not as straightforward as it could be, but the earnings potential on this scheme make the initial hassle worthwhile!

valuepay.com
ValuePay works like most pay as you surf schemes but has the benefit of placing the ads in 'dead' space in the top right hand corner of your existing browser - using the quaintly named 'Piggy' minibrowser.

The service has not gone live yet (expected imminently), but promises a high degree of customisation to ensure ads are tailored to your individual personal interests and preferences. Advertiser revenues are shared with users on a 50:50 basis, with a current limit of $50 per month.

Additional income (with no limit) is earned for introducing others to the service. Earnings are paid on request by cheque.

ValuePay have recently advised us that the 'Piggy' will be released during May, although we have also heard reports of problems in initial testing.

We will update these comments when we know more...
