Supposedly. I've never met anyone who actually made any money from it though.

I have tried 2 or 3 of them and never been successful at getting any money.
They usually have you take their survey which opens up surveys from their advertisers.
You end up filling out 10 or 12 10 page surveys and signing yourself onto every spam list in existence.
Others make you sign up for "free" trail subscriptions to be eligible for your "reward". Of course if you don't contact the company within 24 hours by 3 page carbon copied fax to cancel then they bill you in 715 handy monthly payments of 99.99

i've heard it can work, but i wouldn't try it myself. the ones i see you sign up with a website then you sign up with 2 or 3 other sites that are free. then you sign up with 6 sites that you have to buy something from them or get a free trial and pay shipping. then once thats done you get whatever the site listed. its normally a xbox 360, wii, ps3, lcd tv, plasma, computer, etc.

Sure they work, while you sit there and take the survey you are being exposed to advertisements. And when it's over you are usually tricked into trying or buying some product you didn't want. Therefore, the advertising agency is making money, and the companies whoring their products through these ploys are making money as well. It's a win-win situation for everyone! I haven't forgotten anybody in this equation have I?

there was an article in i think...pcgamer...or another gamer magazine about free xbox 360s n stuff. It actually works, but you have to be hella organized or you start getting your ass handed to you in monthly bills.
It mightve been....G4mer magazine (before it got the boot).
Not sure....but they said if you dont have a spreadsheet with what you signed up for and when it expires, then youll have the worst time ever.

Sure, I have one that I use all the time. However, be prepared to receive countless spam emails. I set up a new account for all my spam to go to. Try Treasure Trooper, I highly recomend it, and if you sign up for my link, they give me a referral commission.
In the past I've made over $70 dollars on it, not being serious or anything.
Heres my referral:

I wish I was old enough to sign up for Adsense. When I finish my Comp. Sci. project, I'm eventually going to host it, but you have to be 18 (or at least the bank account holder does).
