主题:国内3个网赚工具的比较
  亲爱的各位网虫:大家好! 泡网辛苦了! 也许有一天,你突然收到200元钱,甚至2000元钱,请不要惊讶。因为这是你泡网劳动所得。 近来,各大论坛上充斥着看新闻的广告文章,什么cashfiesta,什么NewsBar,什么SABar等等,弄得我们眼花缭乱。 为了明辩真相,我主动“上当”,深入虎穴,经过使用,写下这篇分析性文章,供大家辩证参考,而不是望盲目地肯定或否则。 一、共同关心的问题: 第一, 真实性。有些广告条公司确有是真,外国的象cashfiesta,它在CCTV-10曾做过报道;国内的两家:新闻时报NewsBar与SOHO广告SABar也在国家信息产业部http://www.miibeian.gov.cn 上进行了ICP备案,有备案号,我查过SOH广告网为:蜀ICP备05006334号;新闻时报所属中国广告网为:苏ICP备05000038号。这说明什么其实我也不十分清楚,至少应该认为是合法吧。 第二, 下线数。中国虽有8000万网民,但并不是所有人都有自己的电脑,装了宽带,而装了宽带的部分是较有钱的人士,他们不屑于干这种小事,面子观与所谓的层次性使他们不会做。尽管李嘉诚、比尔盖次买东西还讨价还价。因此,本质上没有那么多可发展的下线,也许不超过1000万。 第三, 广告条。所有广告条都不大,约占屏幕的十分之一,但Cashfiesta广告条不能点击隐藏,一隐藏它就不计时了,从而没有点,即你必须让广告显示在桌面上,网络不好的还时有断线(那就是让它打广告了)。至于点击小人物,国内有这种工具,不用自己老动手,一天24小时可长期挂。NewsBar与SABar可点隐藏,仍然计时,隐藏时就在桌面上显示一个小图标(类似于下载工具FlashGet的图标),需要保存点数时,有提示音,但NewsBar需要输入验证码,SABar没有。它们都限制使用时间,NewsBar是三小时,SABar虽然说是四小时,但目前全天可挂。 第四, 弹出页。上面三种广告条在登陆时都会弹出页面。在使用过程中,只有NewsBar会不时弹出页面。因为它要求将IE设置允许弹出才能连上服务器。而且在保存点数时,也会弹出网页来(有点烦),另外两个没有这种现象。 第五, 性。并不是像说的那样,除非你真的能发展上千个以上的下线,并且下线努力“工作”。这就要求你走在最前面。新闻时报NewsBar主页上说有部分会员月收入超千元了,我未去证实。因为使用时间短,我自己赚的还不到最低支付。不过,对于我们发展中国家中的穷人,赚点小钱补贴上网费,减小宽带浪费还是有可取之处的。 第六, 注册费。所有这些注册都是的,即不需要任何投入。 二、一些不成熟的建议: 第一,用广告条来打广告应该是一种新的广告方式,不像电视,逼着用户看。网络不一样,你要让我看广告,使用我的电脑资源,应该付钱是有道理的。其实我们打开任何一家网站,最引人注意的不是我们要找的内容,而是广告,就是电视上一样,逼着我们去看,所以我们常采用屏蔽的办法,降低了广告的效果。我个人觉得这种广告条的做法将是一种有效的广告方法,为用户看广告的劳动与使用其电脑资源付出报酬。国外这一方式应该是已经很普遍了(因为许多网赚站上罗列出一大垒来,叫用户去注册),国内才起步。 第二,对于上面三种,我不喜欢cashfiesta与NewsBar。因为cashfiesta老挂着要占电脑屏幕,影响我的工作,要想发展几个下线,下线还得懂点英文才行。要想赚很多,还要注册什么offer,大多数是国外的,我试了一下,不好使,多数要用信用卡之类;而NewsBar经常弹出广告,保存点时要输入验证码,影响了工作,也许是国内第一家的缘故吧,就像聊天软件中的QQ。SABar还行,隐藏时不过是一个图标,使用中不弹出什么,但只支持一级下线,发展下线没劲。我现在就用SABar以及TongBao。上网时记得就挂一挂,玩一玩,不当一回事。不记得就算了。要是有一天能收到100元或更多,那是一种意外的收获了。挂QQ就不如挂这个实惠了,单干一个月最低7元,有下线就更加不同了,它支持五级下线。 好了,介绍到此,你若没兴趣就算了,耽误了你的时间。你若有兴趣,就注册试一下。你向别人推荐时就换成你的用户名行了。SOHO广告网注册 (推荐)http://www.sohoads.com/sabar/reg.asp?sj=lizhenxionghttp://www.8qu.net/register.asp?net=yinyushengyi 通宝广告网注册

主题:网上免费赚取广告费
 
国外最诚信的广告网站,一小时赚1美圆

您了解Cashspace吗?用过CashFiesta几个月后的朋友,你可以摆脱每个月为了成为黄金会员所要劳心劳力的功夫,因为我要推荐比CashFiesta还要好的网站。
新的Cashspace网站跟CashFiesta一样,公司本身也是信誉良好的美国网络广告商,同时毋须缴交任何费用即可申请加入,而且只要上线即可累计薪资;除此之外,CashSpace又兼具几项CashFiesta所没有的优点:
第一、获利方法简单:
有别于CashFiesta需每个月注册Special Offer或积极找寻下线以维持黄金会员资格的规定,
CashSpace计费机制采每上线小时即可获得1美元的酬劳,换句话说,就算你不拉下线,自己单打独斗每天上线三小时,一个月收入都大概会有90美元(合计人民币750元)的额外收入。当然啰,如果你是企图心旺盛的人,要一个月收入上万块真的不是难事!
第二、操作方法容易:
有别于CashFiesta,CashSpace不需要老点击小人,更不需要为了担心使用外挂程序被查到而提心吊胆,使用者只须打开一个广告窗口(大概占整个屏幕的十分之ㄧ大小吧!),你就可以放心的去做自己的事了!还有一件更棒的发现,过去使用CashFiesta广告条的时候,当你要同时玩全屏幕的计算机游戏时,屏幕上方总是会不时闪烁广告条的图样,害得有些朋友看不清楚游戏画面,不过现在CashSpace可没有这种恼人的状况了,大家可以安心使用。
因为我自己也还是一位新手,学校学术网络俗又大碗,上网又没有电费跟时间的压力,所以一般来说我都是CashFiesta跟CashSpace同时上线,只不过试了几个月之后,CashFiesta让我常常为了要成为黄金会员而伤神(一般人1, 000点换0.001美元,黄金会员1, 000点则可换1.66美元),而且因为注册Special Offer的缘故,信箱内常常被垃圾信塞爆,感觉真的很糟!
看到这里,不知道你是不是也心动了呢?如果你愿意尝试,请跟着我做,让我带你找到更轻松的网络赚钱术!

第一部分是:填写基本数据,以便网站以后能将薪资支票寄送到你手上:
*Salutation(称呼):Mr.(先生)、Mrs.(太太)、Ms.(小姐)
*First Name(名)
*Last Name(姓):
*Mailing Address(收支票的地址):须用英文填写。(一般是先写门牌号,再写城市街道,再写城市名称,再写省份,学会英语应该都知道哦,这可是初中的知识,应该没有问题吧。)
*City(城市):从上面的邮寄地址撷取,按乡,县,市顺序填入即可。
*State or Province(省、州或郡):台湾的朋友就打Taiwan。
*Postal Code(邮政编码):邮寄地址查询时候就会一起提供。
*Country(国家):这不用教吧!
*E-mail Address(电子邮件地址,我先提醒大家一下,在这之前你最好先申请一新的雅虎邮箱,当然也是免费的哦,因为雅虎邮箱可以收国外邮件,这也是我试出来的,办法可行,特告诉大家。)
*Please confirm your e-mail address(请再输输入一遍你的电子邮件地址)
第二部分是会员调查(Member Survey),你可以自由填写,或是不予回答(No Comment):
*Age(年龄)
*Education(教育程度)
*Employment(职业)
*Yearly Salaries(年收入)
*Marital status(婚姻状况)
*Family members(家庭成员数目)
*Computer location(计算机位置)
*Have you ever made a purchase on-line?(是否曾网络购物?)
*How many hours do you typically spend on the web in a month?(每个月上网时数?)
第三部份是要选择自己的使用账号、密码及介绍人回馈方案,记住,这部份的数据只要登录之后就无法再做变更,请审慎考虑再做决定:
*Select a referral system(选择介绍人回馈方案):这个部分非常、非常重要,请耐心看过我的
分析再做决定!
A - you 60 points + 7 levels: 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 2, 2 points / h
B - you 60 points +7 levels: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 points / h
C - you 60 points +7 levels: 20, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 points / h
(举例来说,A方案是指当你自己上线1小时可获得60点,而你的第一层下线每上线1小时,你就可获得10点的红利回馈,第二层下线上线1小时,则可获得8点的回馈,之后依7, 6, 5, 2. 2点的次序类推;
至于B方案、C方案也都是类似的道理!那么该如何决定要选择何种方案呢?根据我的建议假使你打算长期投入这份,且希望在过一段时间之后获得较大的收益,B方案会是你比较好那么假使你希望可以快一点点见到成效,A方案则是可以优先考虑的选择至于C方案的部份,除非你认为往后介绍的朋友几乎不可能再介绍其它人参与这份工作)
*Select a Partner ID(选择使用账号):限定要英文5 - 12字符。
*Select a password(选择密码):限定要英文5 - 12字符。
*Retype the password to confirm it(再次输入密码以确认)
*please tell us how you heard about us?(在哪里获知CashSpace的?)
第四部份是填写介绍人:szcailen
*Referral Info(推荐人):这个部份请你们务必不要留空白,因为现在很多网站都
规定如果加入时介绍人字段留白的话,该会员则不享有下线回馈制度,也就是说未来你就只
能孤军奋战了!
所以,请你检视一下字段是不是填着szcailen(这是我的账号),如果
你愿意填我,我会很感谢你!如果你有其它朋友已是会员,你也可以填入他的账号,我也没意见,总之,记住别留白就是了否则不能找下线!
