It just goes to show you that people will do anything for a buck. What is All Advantage.com you ask? Its a site that basically pays you to look at advertising. Sounds like a good idea you say? Well, it would be if it didn't force you to look at ads you have no interest in, and pay you pretty much nothing.
One can just imagine the money they are making off these ad banners. I know the average payment for advertising banners on the internet is about 400$ per CPM ( per 1000 views ), but I'm willing to bet they are making more per CPM because its a service that people download just to look at ad banners. They pay you a paltry amount, something like 15 bucks per month for looking at ads, all the while they are raking it in. Makes me sick. I liken it to all those sweatshop workers making khakis for the Gap, earning 40 cents an hour, while the Gap turns around and sells them for 45 bucks a pop.
Ah, well. Its up to you. If you want to be subjected to ads and be paid almost nothing for doing do, go for it. I'll make my money by writing reviews here. Its much more constructive, and I don't have that dirty feeling after doing it.
