Adbux.org is down

This appeared in my inbox today:-

This e-mail is to just inform AdBux users that the website is down because we're currently adding another server with load balancing. The website was not supposed to be affected in any way but that obviously was not the case. It should be back up momentarily. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Tyler

Whoops Gov

The following is taken from an e-mail I received from YouGov this morning.

"Over the weekend, we sent you a survey for your child, aged 8 to 11. Thank you for asking your child to complete the questionnaire for us.

We now need to ask one more question, which was unfortunately missed from the previous survey. This question is on the topic of school, and follows on from the survey which your child already completed.

Later today, we will be inviting you to a new survey"

I guess somebody is very embarrassed over this. They paid £2.50 ($5) for the first survey which only had four questions on it and are now paying £0.50 ($1) for one question! Never mind Jamie my boy will get a little extra pocket money.

Adbux.org

My New Favourite!



What has attracted me to this site is that is so straightforward and, unless something is really well hidden, the clear English gives a true impression of honesty and openness which is often lacking in these types of sites.

The basis of the site is that having joined you go to the "Surf Ads" link and you click on the ads which are currently open. You stay for 30 seconds and get a green $ sign after this you can move on to the next ad and so on. Payment is made at the rate of $0.01 per ad and there is a minimum payment of $10 through PayPal.

There are two schemes which make Adbux a little bit different. The first is the ability to upgrade to Premium status. This comes, currently, at a price of $29.95 for one year or $99 for life and in return you get:

- Earn $0.015 (that's 50% more per click) for every website you visit
- Earn $0.015 (that's 50% more per click) for every website your referrals visit
- Earn up to $3 per referred advertiser (soon)
- Earn $5 - $20 anytime one of your referrals upgrades
- Earn $9 anytime one of your referrals purchases un-referred users
- View more detailed statistics of your downline (last active, premium, etc)
- Contact your referrals via an un-moderated website messenger (soon)
- Premium options on the future official AdBux forum (soon)
- Become a "Verified AdBux Buyer" which indicates to advertisers that you have buying power (which means more ads to click!)

This may seem expensive to go up to $0.015 per click but the real benefit comes when you have a whole bunch of referrals. Which takes me to the second scheme which is buying un-referred members at a price of only $39.95 for 25 members. If you are struggling to refer members this will give you guaranteed members at a relatively low price. It does come with a health warning in that you may be unlucky and buy 25 inactive members but I would have thought this unlikely.

Now this post comes with something of a health warning in that I have not received a payment yet but I know of people who have had their accounts credited. Please click on the banner above.
