I don't know why people think these things are such scams. This is how these programs work. when you sign up for www.************* and they tell you to sign up for a promotional offer with a company. Now these companies (freeipod.com uses blockbuster, AOL, reputable companies) pay www.************* for sending people to them to do the promotions. www.************* uses this referal reward money they recieve from companies like aol and blockbuster to buy the ipods and other things they have going (flat screens and such).
This is a perfect example of another type of program everyone thought was a scam. and the fact is, It _wasn't_. Advertisers pay tv channels to show ads during tv shows, and this program worked the same way. they paid these companies (that ran the ad software) to display their ads on your computer while you were actively surfing. I used these programs and prolly got $60+ from just having a bar on the botton of my screen. I ignored it and got payed to. These types of ad software was hella popular in the late 90's but died out, there might be a few still around but non that I'm aware of.
I ran another thing where people would sign up their emails to get emails about cooking or jokes or what ever. I would get like $.30 per sign up, and I got enough to buy a paintball gun and gear.
I honestly Don't know why people think things like www.************* is a scam. Just learn how advertising works.
un0x said:I remember some years ago, there was a company that let you install a small program, giving you a banner on every website in your browser, and the more minutes you made with that banner activated, the more money the sent youThat really worked too..
