Money for Clicking, Reading Email or Searching

You don't get much for any of these, but nothing is involved except being paid to read ads.  Do something else while these load; hit the shift key to open them in another browser or use tabbed browsing, and turn the sound off as well.

Name Referral link - please use and throw me a few bones! Value per click or email Cash out level
Hits 4 Pay http://www.hits4pay.com/members/index.cgi?lwitchel 0.02 $25 via Paypal
Hits4Pay is a paid advertising service.  The emails are 99.99% useless, but I've gotten two $25 payments (12/08 - the first by check, but they have switched over to Paypal and eliminated an earlier processing fee) from them so what the heck.  The site is inconsistent in the flow of ads; they can slow to a trickle for several weeks and at other times have over 15 daily.
Deals 'n Cash http://dealsncash.com/members/index.cgi?lwitchel 0.02 to 0.05 $30 
Dealsncash is a sister to Hits4Pay, and almost identical except in the payout and initial bonus.  Join both, and click when you're doing something else and with the sound off. (Update 07/2009: Right now Deals 'n Cash is a good deal more active than Hits4Pay - it makes sense to join both.)
Inbox Dollars http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=lwitchel 0.02 $30 (less a $3 check fee)
Inbox Dollars is a mixed site offering pair-to-click emails as well as shopping and surveys.  I didn't pay much attention to Inbox Dollars for a while, but I have found that between the emails and the surveys, it adds up and is worth it.  As of December 2008, I've gotten two payments, one of $100, the second of $75. Check the emails out quickly before minimizing the page or deleting them; they sometimes contain a simple offer to take a survey. (Update 07/2009: Since cutting the value of their surveys in half from $1.00 to 0.50, I've had less activity here, but occasionally there will be a 1.00 survey in email.)
Mypoints Would you write me so that I can refer you? 0.035 about 1400 points for $10 Gift Certificate
You get 5 points for clicking most emails.  They will often send 3-4 daily so it does add up over time. Clicking here brings me about $50 in value yearly - I generally redeem for Amazon gift certificates, and I've gotten at least $375 worth of various gift certificates as of December 2008.


Clixsense http://www.clixsense.com/?2126126
0.01 $10 (less a $3 check fee)

A pay-to-read advertising site.  Each ad is one cent. Recently, I've found this site is the one where I am accumulating the most (about $5 monthly by clicking) so check them out briefly a few times daily.  As of December 2008, I have been paid $50 (less a check fee) for about 18 month's worth of ad viewing. Update 7/2009: I spent $10 to update to premium as you can now pay with your earnings from clicking.  It seems to be worth doing either from earnings or just paying; there was about $5 in ad clicks I made just from upgrading, and it looks like there are regularly 30-50 more premium ads per week.


Memolink Would you write me so that I can refer you? 16,000 points = $10 + a 3,200 point processing fee.

Update 07/2009: Memolink has consistently improved from its unenviable position several years back as one of the least reliable click-to-pay sites to one I visit daily.  Memolink offers a "site of the day" worth 3 points and a daily information click (look towards the bottom of the right hand column) worth 1 point. There have also been four video clips daily worth a total of 8 points, but they are currently "temporarily unavailable."  Bear in mind it would take you several years to earn $10 through daily clicks alone, but along with daily trivia, occasional pay-to-read emails and most importantly, periodic promotions where the value of their shopping portal can double, it's worth participating. They pay by checks made out to cash, and payment is prompt. 

CreationsRewards http://www.creationsrewards.net/?referid=_26_59_D1_8F_CB_AC_19 $5
CreationsRewards offers between two and six daily clicks, with a value of between .02-.03 per day. Since the payout ratio for small and large rewards is the same, I cash out the moment I reach minimum payout. Payment is prompt.
Swagbucks http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=752588
A new portal with several opportunities to earn "Swagbucks" that can be redeemed for prizes, miles and gift certificates. Swagbucks are awarded for random searches on their search engine. 45 Swagbucks will get you a $5 Amazon gift certificate. This one is very promising - I earned my first gift certificate in less than two weeks.
AdBux http://adbux.org/?r=lwitchel dynamic varies
Another pay-to-read advertising site.  Many ads have lower value here. As of May 2008 the site has revamped to make the click worth "shares" so that the value of the click can fluctuate.  It promptly dropped by half.  Only bother with Adbux if you have nothing better to do.
