There are now several companies willing to pay you to be on the web. Below I discuss 14 separately. Note: I have ranked them in order of quality, but you can join all of them if you like.
Note that in all cases, there is never any charge for anything, and most companies place some form of an advertisement either in your web browser or on your desktop. Note: Although individually these companies don't pay an extremely large amount (except the first few might when they are released), combined they will bring in a lot of cash.

** Most services will stop rotating ads if your computer is idle for a certain amount of time.
*** "Possible Monthly Income" is based on the following information: you and your referrals browse an average of 30 hours a month; you and your referrals each refer 2 people. Where applicable, a $20 cpm (cost per thousand ads) is used. These numbers are a lot more realistic than those used by many of these companies on their websites. (Note: For UtopiAD, a value of 60 hours a month was used, because UtopiAd can be used for an unlimited amount of time, and you don't have to be browsing the internet, just connected.)
**** Surfing 2 Cash has three different payment plans, "Preferred Member", "Executive Member", and "Senior Member". The "Preferred Member" plan has 4 referral levels with the pricing show above for those four. The "Executive Member" plan has 5 levels, with the pricing shown above. To be an "Executive Member", you must refer 3 other people in 30 days, who must join. The "Senior Member" plan has 6 levels, with the pricing shown above. To be a "Senior Member", you must refer 3 people in 30 days, and set the Surfing 2 Cash website as your homepage (so it is the first page that loads each time you open your web browser). You obviously don't have to stay at the site while browsing. All data for this company on this page is based on the "Senior Member" (6-level) plan.
*****Dot-Ad pays in percentages, so these figures are based on $20 cpm (a slightly conservative
estimate). And yes, you read the text correctly: once you get the the 2nd level of referrals and lower, you get paid a
fraction of a cent per hour of their web surfing.
