The user is required to visit the page for 30 seconds before being forwarded to another paid page. Surf Junky claims they will pay between $0.45 and $0.75 cents per hour of surfing. How is it a scam?

Making use of PPC Advertising
2006-09-16 20:53:00
Pay-Per-Click advertising (PPC), sometimes also referred to as Cost-Per-Click advertising (CPC) is a popular method used to gain targeted traffic to a webpage.The advertiser will bid on search terms related to their product or website, for example if you had a website selling computers you might bid on the keywords 'laptop', 'desktop' and 'discount computers'. Each keyword has a perceived 'value' based on the number of other people bidding on the keyword, and the amounts they are prepared to pay per click.For example the keyword 'computer' will be a lot more popular, with both searchers and advertisers than the keywords 'clearance computers', so the cost per click will be much higher.As well as appearing alongside search results, if you use Google AdWords or other similar services you may wish for your advertisement to appear on other sites around the web along side content which is related to your keyword(s).

High Search Rankings Mean More Sales
2006-09-07 21:43:28
An important part of any websites business plan is promotion. How are people going to find out about your website? Unless you have the tens of thousands of dollars necessary to mount a large marketing campaign, or advertise in your local press, you will probably often rely on strangers visiting your website. These strangers are all potential members or customers of your site, but getting them to your site in the first place is the all-important step. When looking for information on the internet, most people will use a search engine to find what they are looking for. Thus, gaining and retaining a high first page ranking in search engines for phrases related to the content of your site is a key step to gaining traffic, and ultimately sales. Since the vast majority of websearches are conducted using one of the four major engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN & AOL) it is not important to have high rankings in the other smaller search engines, unless they are specific to your industry.

Webmaster Income (2 of 2)
2006-08-30 14:54:05
Different agencies will buy your traffic in a different manner. Some such as the popular Google AdSense program pay you on a per-click basis. This means that for a publisher to earn money, visitors to the website must click on a contextual link to leave their webpage. The amount paid per click varies depending on the keywords the advertisements are for and how much advertisers are prepared to pay. Other forms of advertising payment include CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions). This means a webmaster gets paid each time ad is shown - although of course the rate varies depending on the size and placement of the ad and the traffic that sees the advertisements. CPL (Cost Per Lead) and CPA (Cost Per Action or Acquisition) adverts only pay when a certain action is completed - for example a registration at a website, a download of software, a membership or a sale. Sometimes the pay rate for these types of advertisements will be in percentage terms, e.g. 20% of the sale price.

Webmaster Income (1 of 2)
2006-08-29 20:51:04
As a webmaster you will want to recoup the costs of your hosting bill, and may want to cover the time you have spent on your website. The most common way to do this is to place advertising on your webpage. Unless you own a huge site with hundreds of thousands of daily page views advertisers will not contact you. Instead, thousands of webmasters of small and medium sized website are using agencies to provide them with sponsors to cover their hosting bill. These agencies stike deals with major advertisers (and some small ones) and provide webmasters with codes to place in their HTML to display these adverts. The agency then pays a percentage of their income onto the webmaster who are displaying the ads (also known as publishers). The most common types of advertising are contextual and graphical banner ads. In the past pop-ups were popular but nowadays most of these are blocked.

Staying Safe Online
2006-08-06 20:09:14
Here are 4 quick tips to help you protect your privacy and identity online. 1. Never click on links in e-mails claiming to be from your bank, PayPal or eBay unless you have been expecting a mail. You can always access your account by typing in the URL of the website - if there is a problem with your account you will get a message there. 2. Always use different passwords for each website you are a member of.If someone gets one of your passwords they will only have one, not a handful. 3. Check that you only enter your credit card details on a secure site - look for the padlock, grey-green protecting of the address bar in FireFox, and the https:// prefix to the web address. 4. Don?t believe what you read in your e-mails. Just because they are sent to your address does not mean they are true or genuine.

What is a Ponzi Scheme?
2006-08-06 20:09:14
A Ponzi scheme is an illegal investment opportuntiy. New investors are enticed by promises of high returns in a short period of time. The most well-known example of a modern day Ponzi scheme was the autosurf site 12dailypro, which crashed in 2006 and has been investigated by the American government. This particular sites offered returns of 12% a day for 12 days, effecivley giving 44% profit in less than a fortnight. The scheme worked by taking money from new investors to pay out the older investors. In effect no money was actually invested - the money just went up the queue to people who had already put money into the scheme. Ponzi schemes always crash. As soon as the amount of money coming into the scheme drops, the program will not be able to pay out older investors.
