surf junky
a friend of mine just pointed me to this site. it's the old get paid to look at adverts thing. only this time i can't see a problem with
it. i'm giving it a go. see, we've together come up with a way to cheat. this way, the adverts don't pop up and grab your attention
- they just sit in a browser window and you can keep that minimised. just leaving it and forgetting it ticks your earnings up. i'm on about 75
cents so far
we worked out that we could get about £60 a month paid into our paypal accounts if we get it going when we wake up and switch off when we go to bed.
obviously requiring an always-on internet connection.
cheating? here's what we're up to...
usually no one could handle it because every 30 seconds the browser window maximises and is brought to the front of the screen, and you need to get
rid of it. but with firefox you can go to tools - options - web features, advanced javascript and uncheck "move or resize existing
windows" and "raise or lower windows". surfjunky obviously caught on to this and suddenly about 15 minutes ago no more adverts were
showing - it showed a "firefox is not allowed to take part" message. but i'm one step ahead of course.
this extension lets you change the "user agent" - in other words it can make firefox send out IE's id codes,
thus tricking surf junky into thinking you're using IE. problem solved.
anyway, if anyone decides to give it a go, use this link - it'll mean i get some extra monies!

Holy crap, 60 pounds a month, that's like 150 bucks.
Damn typos.

Doesn't it matter that it logs you out of the site everytime the page refreshes?

i might do it if i had a paypal account, and a computer with foxfire. sounds like a pretty sweet deal though.
Some things take more than a lifetime.

turns out it's not going to work, which is a shame. their server is too crap to consistently dish out pages, and so if i leave it going for an
hour or so it will have got no response and so timed out at some point, and stopped. so there's no way i can think of of leaving it on all day.
i'll keep at it for another few days though.
