Yes, You Can Play and Make Money Too

Welcome to AdsOnTime

There is a program on the Internet which actually lets you play a little interesting game while making money, ...well, a little money. It's AdsOnTime. What's very interesting and no-play about the program is that it can actually advertise your site to billions of viewers around the world within just a few seconds with little cost to you.

How it Works

It normally divides a day into seconds and lets advertisers pay for the seconds they want their ads to be shown.

How You Can Make Money From It

Watch The Ads
Just watch the ads and every so often, a link will appear under the ad window. It will say 'click now to win ...$$$...'. Once you click on the link, you are taken to another window and you have to wait 10 seconds. After that, you have to enter a code they provide you with in a certain text box and submit it.
The only trick is that you have to be the first person to enter the code on the text box or you won't get the money. It might be easy for you to get the money if you were the only one online at that time but with hundreds of people hooked on to the same site and watching for the ads, then it might actually prove to be very difficult to win that much. I once played it and won 10 cents in half an hour. It might be very frustrating, but again, it's a game, and if you have not much to do, you might as well while your time playing it.
Refer People
You can also make money from the program by referring people onto it. For every person you refer, they give you 2% of what that person makes. Yeah, i know, it's not much but again, it's just a game, a game that you play while raking some dimes home.

How Do i Get Paid

You are normally eligible for payment once you earn $30 or more and they send your payment through Western Union, PayPal or MoneyBookers.
It's a little game, a little money game, a little time sucker and a great tool for advertisements, that's my take.

Your AdSense Money and Profit-Sharing Forums

Internet Forums and AdSense Money

As you might well know, there are a lot of discussion forums on the Internet where someone starts a thread and readers respond with postings on the same thread. Forums cover a variety of discussion topics including politics, social and cultural events.

Now, some forums actually pay their subscribers depending on how much they contribute to a discussion or more specifically, depending on the number of times they start a thread (topic) and the popularity of such thread with other readers.

A very good example of such forums is Digital Point Forum.

How The Digital Point Forum Works

Normally, there is an AdSense ad on every topic (thread) that you start and when users click on it, you get paid.

How to Subscribe to The Program

First, you ought to have an active AdSense Google Account, without it there is no way they can direct the money to you. If you've got the AdSense account, you just have to type your AdSense Account Client ID in the box located in your tools section under the edit options.

Kindly note that you must have at least 50 posts to be able to participate in this profit-sharing program. Their revenue sharing program actually started way back in 2004 as an experiment but has stayed on up until now and i guess they wont be pulling it out any time soon.

Special Notes

Kindly note that for any topic that you start, your AdSense Client ID will be used 50% of the time, so generally, you actually get half of what the Forum gets on your topics.

As always, you are not allowed to click on your ads...of course.

My Take

I personally think that this forum is a very good way of earning supplemental cash. However, i highly doubt the ads are clicked that often because as with all other discussion forums, users are always focused on the topic at hand and very rarely care to divert their attention onto the ads.
That said, it may actually prove to be a good way to make money for Internet starters.
