Default Netbux - Get paid to search (google, ebay, etc)

http://netbux.org/?r=64500

Has anyone tried this? I am very skeptical that this will work, but reading a few forums around, some claimed they actually got paid *shrug*. I just thought I'd give it a shot, nothing to lose. Seeing if anyone on here has tried this out?

Basically, you get paid .02 cent for every search made. With a daily limit of 40 searchs a day, totalling 80 cents a day. Once you hit 50 bucks, they'll paypal you the money. Again, very skeptical but it wont hurt to try. Check it out guys.

Cheers,
Johnny

Or get a real job and make hundreds of times that. That's not a lot of money man.

could be a scam?

Sounds perfect for an automated program!

Sounds like a perfect gig for my lazy ass secretary. I swear that woman would rather watch paint dry than do work.

On another note, I remeber something similar to this from 5 or so years ago. Anyone else remember it?

I haven't tried this thing, but there was another similar deal years ago. I think it was called Ad Advantage, but I'm not 100% certain. It was a toolbar that sat on your desktop and displayed ads catered toward your interests, which they determined based on your searches. I actually did get paid about $40 or so from that thing. I think it eventually went away when people figured out how to automate things so that they got paid without doing crap.

I think that's the same thing I'm thinking of. It came out around 1999 but didn't stay around for long.

My buddies and I all made a lot of money through adadvantage. Although you can only make 80c a day through this, getting paid $24 per month for not doing shiet isnt so bad neither. Just have someone write a bot to do the surfing for you and just leave your computer on all day long.
