I recently tried out pay per view surfing site on two websites and I am wondering if any scams are there that has been reported and where do I get reliable information.

Also would like information on traffic exchange sites, is it legit and are there scary stories out there about them.

I am fairly new when it comes to internet browsing and using the web for other than emails and Google as a search engine.

Feeling rather daring as I venture into this unknown world, but also ready for the reality check regarding scams.

Thanks in advance for any information.

I'm not certain what you mean by "pay per view surfing site". The internet is free. Some sites require paid membership to get premium features. Are you referring to sites where you can watch television shows?

Echoing NeedKarma's question, what is a "pay per view surfing site"? If you are referring to sites that claim to show you movies, especially ones that aren't out yet on DVD or are still in theaters, stay away.

If you are talking about being able to watch network TV shows or major movie releases on a site, proceed cautiously. There are a small number of actual, licensed, high quality sites authorized to provide this type of content.

If by Traffic Exchanges, you mean sites where you can swap links with websites for your website, these methods are not very advantageous any longer in the era of new search engine algorithms designed to eliminate spam traffic efforts. When you are looking to share links with another website, it should be a quality site with the same or higher pagerank than your site.

I get paid to view ads of sites, not sure how it actually works, but each view is counted and turned into money after some set period.
Sometimes includes email views.

I didn't know traffic exchange was an old thing.
What do you recommend then?

It gets turned into a very very small amount. Have you been paid yet?

Of the 100's listed, most are scams, most offer or claim large funds but never pay.
What they do is ask you to pay them for membership, then ask you to pay for refferals and more

Need,
I just started using it, not paid yet. I am not paying them anything so not expecting to earn much or soon.
The ads are viewed within a frame and the header above the frame has the site address (link) where I am enlisted as a viewer. The header has a counter of 10 to 20 seconds,at the end of which the page reloads with a new ads and it keeps changing when I click a number at the header/footer outside the frame.

Fr,
The ones I am trying out has a standard membership free, and I am finding that except for one, the rest of the sites send only emails with a link to view an ad where I get reward points. One site seems to send a lot of pushy, earn unbelieveable amounts offer emails,which I have been deleting so far.
