Yeah, the .50 ones were great, but they were usually just in batches of 2 (the tohosting.tk ones) at that point. Seems like the ones in that "easy service x" family (the 2min timer ones that say NO INDIAN WORKERS!!! and point to masters-degrees.info and things like that) vary from .20 to .50 totally at random, sometimes within the same little batch. As far as what it does for them, who knows, because obviously a quarter doesn't equate to a couple of measly ad clicks. Maybe they're investing some $$ to show (pretend) that the sites are profitable before selling them to someone else.
Just got done reading the Lakers drama on ESPN. You know society is messed up when the guy recording a teammate who admits to cheating is labeled the bad guy and the one who can't be trusted
Most guys aren't willing to pay someone a buck a minute rates just to click on two ads so they gotta be making hella stacks. Eh, I'll gladly take their money to add towards my Metallica collection so I guess it doesn't matter.
I admit I have done some of the 25 cents one, especially on weekends with nothing to do, but they bother me by not approving all of them -- some are randomly left pending. I have 25 cent droppings sitting there for the last week or so. Yeah, they are probably fine and I'll see that money in a month, but for an inherently scammy kind of HIT it makes me a bit paranoid. As to the other ones that rant about Indians and seem to want me to email them the URLs or something... not sure what they want, not going anywhere near it.
Not sure the legitimacy of this but here it is Pages per visit X Average ad units X Impression CPM = Revenue per 1000 visitors. A website serving an average of 3 pages per visit, each with 2 ad units and an impression CPM of $1 would therefore earn $6 per 1000 visits.
There's been a lot of discussion about this next door. There's a possibility that the requester is paying for the hits with stolen credit cards which would obviously justify paying whatever he wants. There's been some back and forth with Amazon about it by a few workers, to which they respond with a form letter stating to be sure to click report. In other words, they don't really give a crap.
Personally I think it's an investment. More traffic means higher up on google rankings which means more legit visits. It's like paying for YouTube views and subs or views on twitch. You don't do it for the immediate gain. You do it to get on the 1st page of YouTube to gain exposure and legit viewers.
The problem I'm seeing here is where he's getting said credit cards. From turkers who are too dense and blindly give out info? I've heard of that theory before and it seems to make the most sense if going by what seeker just posted.
That's probably why they're doing it. Not sure about the math though but I had a blog once and I used google ads. I did get paid for visits, and more for actual clicks on ads. Purchases paid a ton more of course, but even just visiting the page can generate money for the site owner. As far as I remember I was getting about $250/month for 5,000 visitors or so per day. That's without any purchases.
If you mean those Marketing hits, I always thought those were more reputation management than increasing exposure. Nearly all of those people/entities had some recent bad press that it seemed like we were driving into oblivion with the innocuous searches we were stuffing into Google by the boatloads.
Step 1: Uncheck the "requires Master Qualification" box. Step 2: Check the "for which you are qualified" box. Step 3:??? Step 4: Profit.
Organized crime in the US began to shift to stolen credit card information, and identity theft in general, several years ago. It's less dangerous to steal a persons ID than it is to go post up on the block and slang crack. It's hard to get shot when you're chilling in your homeboy's basement. This isn't lost on the Fed's, and they've honestly been complaining about it for at least six years.
After hearing about all of the stolen tax returns last year, this year I e-filed the first day you legally could.
Yup. It's sometimes connected to crack or oxy, people pay junkies some pittance to go steal all the mail from a building or part of a neighborhood so they can sift through the info for anything useful.
