In the case of surveys - Well yes it can! But, is it worth all the hassle? You must have a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve and of the trustworthy sites that you will get paid from and what amounts you are likely to make. Writing Blogs? We'll see! I also look at Paid to Read and some other Affiliate Programs

Security Problems at Get Paid to Read Site

Adbuddy Complex Password Enforcement

Users of Adbuddy were met with the need to comply with new complex password rules when they logged on today. The site carries this news:

"You probably noticed when you logged in today that you were asked to change your password. In an effort to thwart scammers/hackers (which there seem to be a lot of), we've implemented a "strict" password policy. We've done this to protect our members, advertisers, and the AdBuddy.Net system. Your password must have upper and lower case letters, at least one numeric character, and at least one non alpha/numeric character. We know it's a bit more inconvenient, but we feel it's better in the long run. As always, if you have any questions/concerns, please feel free to contact us via our "Contact Us" form. "

This piece suggests there have been serious issues for Adbuddy but there have been no reports of members having been affected.
