I am sure everyone here remembers these company's during the "net boom". If you were a memeber of one of these I have a few questions for you.

1.) What was the most you ever made per month?

2.) Where you using more than one account with the same company?

3.) Finally were you ever caught?

Thanks

Most people I know who made good money with those things had one account but got the jump on the referral bandwagon.
I recall Apex of gotapex.com frequently listing his alladvantage takings between $1000-2000 a month.

I once had a scheme of running the entire schools lab computers using multiple referrals/accounts and myadvatange during offpeak times. Unfortunately it panned out to only a few computers.....

But the weird thing is alladvantage kept paying me for 3 months after i cancelled my account!!!! Made a few hundred bucks...not really worht the trouble. Could have made some porn galleries or something and made more.

Wasn't a "pay for me to surf" but back in the day when I used to play with Visual Basic, I made a program that spammed AOLer's with porn ads... my biggest check was about $530 one month... other months averaged around $200-$250 though...

Only disadvantage was I didn't have access to my computer while it was running and I would end up running out of RAM and having to reboot every 4 hours or so... :eek:

i probably made 'bout $70 from all advantage... my friend was pulling in about $150 a month though, due to multiple accounts, tons of referrals, and all of us running my advantage ;)
