This one is VERY risky, so therefor, only recommended for the older crowd that has a little money to try there luck. Matter o’ fact - I’m not even going to recommend the sites I use because they are border line illegal, but can be used to make loads of money just for leaving your computer on. Paid-to-Autosurf sites are sites that you “purchase upgrades” so you can get paid to visit advertisers websites that are on a timer of usually 30 seconds, then it moved on to the next. So wll you do is set your computer to start surfing through a pre-determined amount of sites while you are off doing something else. That’s why they call it auto-surfing.

First let me tell you about the risk…

A large amount of controversy is concentrated over whether autosurfs are inherently structured as Ponzi schemes. These sites do not call your ‘upgrade purchase’ an investment, but the whole idea is that you will earn a certain percentage of profit if you surf every day for a set amount of days. They are all different… 1% for 365 days - 10% for 10 days - or like in the case of 12DailyPro, they offered 12% for 12 days. Roughly making a 145$ profit in under 2 weeks. They were the hottest thing on the internet in 2005, but in 2006 they started running out of new members. While some of these sites are legit, most are using money from new members. This is the illegal part… the Ponzi scheme. And these sites can look legit and operate for years until the moment they are paying out more money then they are bringing in. Then the government shuts them down and they disappear.

These types of sites are even to risky for PayPal. They won’t touch an autosurf site with a 10 foot pole. Services like AlertPay and E-Gold still will though.

The Good News:

I am not here to scare you away form autosurf sites though. There is a way to handle them… things to look for. First off, a legit site will never demand money. You can join an autosurf site, add your webpage to the rotation, sit back and let the computer just run through the ads in the back ground, collect your credits and apply them to how many times you want your site displayed in rotation, then call it a day.

I have experimented with a few. No one has gone belly up on me yet. Making money like I’m suppose to. If you are interested in learning more, (here is the second tip,) do a search for several that have been around several years. The ones I use have other income sources so I’m pretty sure that they are not just ‘recycling’ my money.

The third (and most important) tip is to NEVER invest all your money into one site. Spread out a $100 investment over 5 sites maybe. Approach each site with a glare in your eye and sneer on your face like they will be the next to go belly up. If you ‘upgrade’ for $20 over 5 sites, and one does go down on you, you still make a profit.

For now though, be careful with this one while I go check out the legalities of promoting the ones I use. After all, this site is gears towards minors.
