Surfjunky
Heh, this sort of webvertising is becoming more and more common… but this one has one of the highest payouts of any of them I’ve tried. SurfJunky pays you 50 cents an hour to let popup ads appear. But with a bit of Firefox tweaking, you can just minimize it and let it run, generating money with 0 work. I just put it on a secondary desktop in Linux and then ignore it… but I’m already making money O_O ’tis a scam…
How:
Sign upand create an account.- Get the User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox and turn yourself into IE6. If you like, create a separate profile just for being IE6.
- Get Adblock if you’d like, a couple of the ads don’t work and will 404 every time they come up unless you Adblock them.
- In Firefox Options, turn off Javascript’s ability to move and resize windows.
- Now fire up the SurfJunky browser and minimize it. You’ll want to watch it for a bit to find those 404′d ads so you can Adblock them, but then you’ll have a 100% unattended SurfJunky installed.
- …
- Profit!

Sorry to destroy your moment of happiness but SJ is a scam. I had $52.41 but they deleted my account for no reason. Also check out thegeeksnook.com for more info about the scam.

Surfjunky is indeed a scam. They delete your account for no other reason than your making money.
