Hi, Yesterday someone had made a post at AstaHost ( http://www.astahost.com/index.php?showtopi...indpost&p=29114 ) about this referral + search site name netbux.org that pays you $0.02 for every search you made through their page. Out of curiousity I dropped by and opened an account there. First of all - it isn't even a search site - it simply redirects your search to another popular engine, which you get to pick from a dropdown box along with your search string.
Ever since then, I've faced quite a few problems with them: 1. Not all searches get counted properly - this might be a flaw of their script. They do say that repeated searches won't be counted - each search has to be unique. But their script is SO BAD, that it ignores searches even if they contain ONE common keyword. Say, I searched for "VB.NET Aqua Button" and then searched for "VB.NET Custom Dispose Method" - goddamned thing ignored the second search completely - I ask you, What's common to both, other than the fact I searched for something to do with vb.net but for completely unrelated types of code ?
2. Second problem - today morning - it completely disregarded 3-4 of my searches - never credited them to my account. My account balance stands at what it was due to 5 searches yesterday.
3. And now, it's gone for a complete toss. Everytime I do a search I simply land up with this message: Paid searches must be conducted from the Netbux homepage.
I reloaded their page and tried - thinking it was a problem with session cookies. DIDN'T WORK.
I tried at least 20 different (completely unique) search strings with NO COMMON WORDS. DIDN'T WORK.
I tried logging out of my account and logged back in again. Searched. DIDN'T WORK.
I've been trying ever since - STILL DOESN'T WORK. Always gives me that same message.
What the hell is going on ? Do they seriously intend to carry forward this so called paid search business - or is it just another internet scam to draw a lot of hits to their page ?? I think it's more of the latter. Tell me about your experiences.
A very very angry & pissed m^e
P.S. Still if anyone wishes to signup for this service, I'd be obliged if you use my referral link: http://netbux.org/?r=16884 I want to see what comes out of it.
Well, the problem is basically from their bad scripts as you said. I have never even heard of this website. Infact, this is my very first time of hearing abou it.
Maybe I am gonna give it a trial and see what happens.
I will check it out and see what it going on with it. I don't trust these making money things online and so we'll see just how easy it is. Do you have to pay anything?
too bad it pays via PAYPAL only. i don't have paypal (nor is it offered in our country anyway), so even if can register, i won't get paid.
anyway, it smells of a scam with all the loopholes enumerated above. a program which promises to pay net users BUT disregard proper functioning of it's scripts is bound to fall and fold in due time because it cannot deliver its promises. it would not be worth the frustrations one expereince. better stick with trusted and well-established programs.
I'm giving it a try, too, since I didn't verify my PayPal-Account via a money transfer from my real bank account (they don't even have my real one) nor via any other way. I suppose I'm good enough at making up unique search strings but we'll see how it works out...
That's the point with these GPTs (get paid to ...)
They offer to pay you only if you reach a certain payout level. Do the arithmetic: If they pay 0.02 per search and the payout is say $20, how many searches do you need to do? 1,000! and they have all these tricks in place so that a lot of your csearches are not counted. Wait until you are nearing the payout level and see that you'll almost never get there because of technicalities. Then you realized you've been had. After days and days of wasting your time.
My advice. Don't bother. Concentrate on improving your websites and placing CPM/CPA ads instead (or AdSense). You'll get real money from legit sources, guaranteed.
It would require 2500 searches to finally get the $50 so yeah. It kinda isn't worth it. I'll use it and then if I happen to get 2500 searches at some point in time that would be great but until then
It seems to be working now - I'm still checking it out. Lets see what comes out of it. Meanwhile, someone had gone to their forums and posted a link to this thread. Guess what - they moved it to their SPAMMAGE forum, because it's a negative review ??? What kind of attitude does it portray ? If I were them, I'd keep it PINNED somewhere in public view and improve my service to prove the accuser wrong. That'd have been the perfect slap-back ! Sheeeesh !!

www.Netbux.org DOES work, although I don't know for how long. So far in 3 days I have made $8. You only make 2 cents a search but that is a lot more than most payout search sites. You are limited to 40 searches a day x 2cents = 80 cents a day. Not much but you get paid for each person you refer to the site as well, they get thier 80 cents a day and you get 80 cents for them as well
So, if you have 10 users at $24 a month thats $264 a month for searching...not bad. Payout is $50, so if you dont have anyone under you it will take you 3 months to get to payout.
There was a forum but its down now, inside there were users post how much money they made, some made decent cash each month. Reason I said I was not sure how long it will work is because I am not sure HOW the owner (chad something) gets his income. Ads are only paying $100 a week and so far I have only seen 3 or 4 at most. You can also buy unrefered users for $1 each. I forked over $10 for 10 users but I have yet to see them, the waiting period is 'at least 7 days' notice 'at least'
Anyhow, if you try it, post your results. I'm hoping to get to the $50 mark to at least get my $10 back.
yo all... well i dont use netbux because it is always going down

I can't even get netbux.org to load for me -- had problems loadint it yesterday then it just closed itself after about 10 searches. Today it says page not available please check your internet connections or refresh page?? What is going on with the site? I just recently joined and have been able to access just 2 days. braintestng123
I haven't been able to get in for 2 days. Before that it was a "server update." Last time I got in, they said they now have 150,000 members. That's up from 40,000 when I joined. I guess they just can't keep up with the traffic. I'm going to pull them off my "recommend" list and stop promoting them, but I'll check in every once in a while and see if they get their act back together. I was afraid it was too good to be true.
www.geocities.com/ko0lz/index.html fast and easy way to make 100s of dollars on netbux i baught it and thats how i already got 90$ once there site comes back up ill prolly make another 50$ and on the 15th ill be paid check it out hes legit
I did register sometime back after watching all the discussions, but it is too much work for the 2 cents they pay! You have sit in front of the PC and do nothing else but be on netbux to get a good pay! My goodness, and people ARE doing that!
I do not think I will go there again! BTW, I did try to see if it is still working, but the site is DOWN! Good riddance!!
Yeah the check mark did appear each time and the dollar sign. I never used any repeat searches, every on was unique. Ive just tried Netbux again, this time I only done 10 searches instead of 40 before checking my stats. Guess what. It says my searches for today are 1 !!! I dont know whats going on

This is in my opinion more trustworthy than Netbux, and let me tell you why: 1. It doesn't
rudely eliminate PayPal with no warning, in order to cash in on Stormpay's 6-level-deep
affiliate program. In other words, it has morals. 2. People at the forum are helpful and quick to
respond. 3. The minimum level for payout is extremely low - $0.02 and you can reach this with
four or five clicks (but move fast - the links get clicked quickly). 4. Convenience - holds
referral information for you up with most major PTC, PTR and PTS sites. Gets your ids out, gets y....
Hi, I know that netbux has had a his minor points, but now they solved their script and money
problems. The reason why some people didn't get paid was because paypal blocks the PTS
business. Now the changed to Stormpay. If you want to now more why they changed go to
Paypalsucks.com The other problems of searching are also history. Just go to their homepage type
in a search, wait a few seconds, and click back to search. if you are planning to sign up click
here , it wont make a difference for you if i am your referrer best regards /biggrin.gif'

Here are my gripes: 1) Their site is down more than it’s up. 2) Now they’ve started opening multiple
spam windows while we surf. 3) Some of these spam windows won’t close without re-booting the
computer. /mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /> 4) Their scroll
bar interferes with Google’s scroll bar, cutting off the first few characters of every entry, making
them hard to read. 5) We can’t see the page rank of sites we go to, because The Netbux URL gets in
the way. 6) We can’t copy and paste the links for the same reason as #5. (Both of th....
how does Netbux make money? are they themselves part of refferal programs of google and that? I
need some info on this, doing an investigation... Thanks, craig.....
Here's the more recent story: Someone had very conveniently put up the link to the post I made
on the authenticity of netbux yesterday on their forums. Here's the link. The message didn't
say much except pointing out the fact that they've already started getting negative reviews.
Check out: http://netbux.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSI...e98&topic=357.0 What was the result ?
They decided that since this wasn't a praise the post would go to SPAMMAGE ???? What kind of a
attitude does that portray, I ask you ? Can't take even the slightest negative ....
