What is AllAdvantage.com all
about?
AllAdvantage.com is a community of Internet
users in which members get paid to surf the Web. AllAdvantage.com
also pays its members to refer their friends to the community (and
for those friends to refer more friends, etc.). AllAdvantage.com is
supported by advertising sponsors who recognize the value of
Internet users, and who make it possible for us to pay members.
When you sign up, you download and install the
Viewbar™, a message window about an inch tall that sits at the
bottom of your browser. AllAdvantage.com uses the Viewbar™ to
deliver our sponsors’ messages and useful, entertaining content to members. Over time, a member’s Viewbar builds a unique profile of
preferences and interests, so messages can be precisely tailored to
what members want to see.
How do I get paid to surf the
Web?
Sign up, watch ads, get paid. It really is that simple. The first step is to sign up and become a member. It's fast
and it's free (takes about one minute) and there’s no survey to fill
out!
As soon as you sign up, you get a member ID number. You record
that number and a password you select, then go to our Viewbar™
download page. The Viewbar™ is a communications device about an inch
tall that sits at the bottom of your browser and delivers consumer
messages and useful, entertaining content from our sponsors. Log on
with your member ID and password, follow the prompts, and download
and install the software.
Then launch your browser and surf the Web! The Viewbar™ opens
automatically and records your time while you’re actively surfing,
and we pay you for it. That’s all you have to do.
However, if you want to take even MORE advantage, then refer your
friends and family, because we pay you for them too!
How does the referral
payment system work?
The chart below helps demonstrate
the AllAdvantage.com referral system. AllAdvantage.com pays you an
hourly rate for surfing the Web with your Viewbar™. When you refer
friends and family (your "direct referrals"), you get paid an hourly
rate when they surf with the Viewbar™. When they refer their friends
and family (your "extended referrals"), you also get paid an hourly
rate when extended referrals surf with the Viewbar™. Extended
referrals continue for four levels past your original referral, and
there is no limit to the number of referrals you can accumulate.
Check out our Get Paid to Surf
the Web page for details on our current hourly rates.

Where does the money come
from?
AllAdvantage.com’s sponsors pay us to send
messages to our members via the Viewbar™, whether the messages are
traditional ads, special offers, or other deals. We pass money on to
AllAdvantage.com members as a payment for your time and attention,
and as a reward for selecting our sponsors when you’re purchasing
goods and services.
This is a great deal for advertisers – they can send personalized
messages to an active, growing community of Internet users and trade
on the goodwill between AllAdvantage.com and its members. It’s a
great deal for members, because in addition to the money, you get
messages of real interest to you, that are tailored to your
preferences, and a variety of special offers, interesting content,
and other deals.
When do I get
paid?
Each month that your account exceeds US$20, you
will be sent a check by mail from AllAdvantage.com (amounts below
$20 are carried forward to the next month, and that month's surfing
added to the total). You can check your account balance (how much
money we owe you) and the number referrals in your direct and
extended referral groups (your earning power) at the Account
Center.
When can I
start?
You can start right now! Just sign up – it
takes only a minute and is totally free – and if you live in the US,
UK, or Canada , you can download your Viewbar™ software immediately!
Members in other countries can begin referring friends and
family, and release of the Viewbar™ in other countries will begin as
soon as we can. So start today, because those who get in early will
realize the greatest advantages.
Are there any rules or
restrictions?
There are some rules, and all are
intended for the benefit of AllAdvantage.com members:
-
Each person can only sign up once, creating an account for him
or herself, and may not establish an account on behalf of anyone
else. Nor can accounts be transferred between people.
-
No spamming. AllAdvantage.com strictly forbids spamming to get
referrals. This means you can only tell people you know or who
explicitly agree to receive your invitation to be referred. See
our
anti–spam
policy.
The number of payable hours per month is 25. Over time, that
number will increase.
You have to surf yourself to get the benefit of your
referrals' surfing. If you surf only 10 hours in a month, and your
referrals each surf 25, you will be credited with 10 hours of paid
referral time for each referral.
Members who deal with AllAdvantage.com in a fraudulent fashion
will forfeit their memberships.
All of this information is in our Membership
Agreement, which you need to read before downloading and using
the Viewbar™.
Can I participate on more
than one computer?
You can install the Viewbar™ on
multiple computers and get credit for your surfing regardless of
which machine you use. Just download and install a Viewbar™ on each
machine you’ll be using. Be sure to install the Viewbar™ using the
same ID and password on each machine to ensure proper credit.
Do I need to buy
anything?
AllAdvantage.com membership is absolutely
free, and you will never have to buy or sell anything. Simply sign
up, download your free copy of the Viewbar™, refer your friends and
family, and get paid to surf the Web!
What if I want to change my
information after joining?
You can change your
personal information by logging on to the Account
Center section of the Web site. This includes address, password,
and email address. However, you’re not allowed to change your
referrer after joining or add another referrer.
What if I want to
quit?
We do our best to give you all the advantages
you want on the Internet, but there are no obligations to maintain
your membership with AllAdvantage.com. You may quit at any time with
no cost or penalties – except for the money you won’t earn.
Will I get junk email? What
is your privacy policy?
AllAdvantage.com is totally
committed to your privacy. We do not sell, rent, or give away any
identifiable personal information to any third party. You will never
receive unwanted email or postal mail from third parties as a result
of information you have given to AllAdvantage.com. As a member, you
will receive periodic email messages from AllAdvantage.com
describing developments and special benefits available to members of
the AllAdvantage.com community.
AllAdvantage.com has a board-level Chief Privacy Officer: we take
privacy very seriously.
What else can I get at
AllAdvantage.com?
We plan to offer our members cash
rewards for online shopping at leading Internet retailers, auction
rebates, group discounts, and richer content on the Viewbar™, just
to name a few. We’re starting up a digital content division that
will be offering software utilities of one sort or another. And
we’re always on the outlook for new ways to deliver value. Our
objective is ultimately to make the Viewbar™ worth at least US$1,000
a year to each member.
Is the Viewbar™ compatible
with the Macintosh?
The Viewbar™ will be available for
use with Mac soon, as we are currently developing this version of
the software. Members will be notified as soon as our Mac Viewbar™
becomes available.
