How Does the Referral Program Work:

You can significantly increase your earnings with PaidForSurf.com by helping us spread the word about our terrific program.  We will reward you with on going income from each referral up to five levels deep.  When you refer someone they are called your direct referral.  When your referral refers someone to our program, then they are called your indirect referral.  Any people referred by your indirect referrals are also called your indirect referral, and you get paid up to four levels of indirect referrals.  See the chart below for a visual description:

Level Current Payout
You Up to $0.75/hour
Direct $0.05/hour
Indirect1 $0.02/hour
Indirect2 $0.02/hour
Indirect3 $0.02/hour
Indirect4 $0.02/hour

Note: These payouts are only for our Beta Phase, which we expect to substantially increase after our testing is over.  Currently we expect to move out of the beta phase starting March 2000.

Q: What is the actual pay scale for PaidForSurf.com?

A: We are currently in our Beta phase of development, with a goal to be the highest paying program of its kind.  In the early stages we had to formulate a way to work with our current sponsors so we developed an Advertiser Visit Ratio (AVR) payout.  How much you earn per hour all depends on your AVR.  Even though we are in the beta phase you can still earn more money through us than any other program currently out there.  Here is our current pay scale:

Advertiser Visit Ratio Hourly Payout Average Minutes/Visit
0.5% $0.02 50.0
1.0% $0.15 25.0
1.5% $0.30 16.0
2.0% $0.45 12.5
2.5% $0.60 10.0
3.0% $0.75 8.3

Don't worry about your AVR, as we will track everything on your stats page.  AVR is only calculated using the larger (468 X 60) banner.  The smaller banner (120 X 60) is a promotional banner and used to attract additional advertisers and does NOT increase your AVR. Any attempt to falsely increase your AVR in order to receive a higher payout will be tracked and your account will be terminated.  The idea behind our program is to support our advertisers that advertise through our SurfBar.  To support our advertisers means to spend some time at their site learning about their product, service and/or offer.  If you want to increase your payout, then keep a closer eye on the SurfBar and visit any sponsors that are of interest.

Q: How much time should I spend at an advertisers site?

A: There is no set amount of time that you need to spend at their site, but if you click on their banner please support our advertiser by spending some time going through their site.

Q: Using this Advertiser Visit Ratio, doesn't it make it easy to cheat?

A: Nope, for those of you that are thinking about cheating, don't.  Our stats will check to see if you are just clicking on the banners to inflate your stats and it will initially disregard the clicks.  If you continue to do this your account will be terminated and you will forfeit any and all monies in your account.

Q: Ok, everything looks good...what are the rules?

A: There are some very basic rules with our program:

  1. NO SPAMMING:  If you are caught spamming (Unsolicited Bulk Email), your account will be terminated, you will not be paid any money, your referrals will be taken away from both you and your up line.  We hold the right for legal action against you.  So, in the simplest terms about spamming...don't do it!
  2. YOU NEED TO USE THE SURFBAR:  In order to get paid for all of the hours from your referrals, you must match or exceed the number of hours that they surf.  

    For example: You refer John and Dan.  John does 50 hours, Dan does 25 hours and you do 30 hours in a given month.  Here is how you would be paid out:

    You would be paid 30 hours for your surfing,
    You would be paid 30 hours for John's surfing, and
    You would be paid 25 hours for Dan's surfing.

    In order to get paid for John's 50 hours, you would need to use the SurfBar  for 50 hours as well.  So, whenever you are using your computer and online, make sure that the SurfBar is running.

Q:  Can I install the SurfBar on more than one computer?

A:  Sure, as long as you only use it on one computer at a time.  So you are welcomed to install it at home and the office.  If both you and your wife have a computer at home and you would like to both use the SurfBar, then both of you should have your own account.
