    3 Stars Same as the rest 04/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable normally, unobtrusive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow earner

    The main criticisms of viewbar programs are the length of time it takes you to earn money and the unreliability of payout. GoToWorld is certainly slow even if you've got referrals and I don't know how reliable payments are because I'm just about getting in sight of the minimum level after 6 months. I've been getting about two dollars a month, but at least the bar keeps out of the way and doesn't hassle me. It loads up automatically when you logon as well which is a nice touch although sometimes it gets a bit unreliable. The rates do tend to stay the same, however, so you can't accuse GTW of ... more

    3 Stars IS IT WORTH IT 20/10/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Making money while you surf....... maybe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sorting out these hours!

    I was an Alladvantage fan, until they chopped thier rates to £2.40 per month, very very miserable! So, I began hunting around for another 'Get paid for surfing' programme and came across GoToWorld, yet again. I mean 'yet again' as I tried GoToWorld a long time ago, but had no success at all, the viewbar kept on crashing and was really playing havoc with my computer system, so I deleted it. I decided that I would give GoToWorld again and see what happens this time, I'm glad to say that the programme has only crashed a couple of times, however when I check my account, it's still $0.00, even ... more

    4 Stars 26 p per hour (hopefully) 31/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages claims a good payrate easy to move around the screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages crashes to easilly

    Goto.world have finally released their bar to the UK net users. I signed up initially way back in march but had to wait til now for the bar to be released to the UK in the mean time some of the ezines that I get have been praising this bar so I was looking forward to receiving it and giving it a go. its quite convinient as you can move it anywhere (even ontop of other pts bars such as desktop dollar so effectivly getting paid for the same amount of screen twice. They are claiming rates of around 26p per hour although we will have to wait ad see at the end of the month (not long now). My only ... more

    3 Stars Dont Gotoworld com 18/11/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Causes crashing

    This site has caused crashes on my PC I downloaded as per instructions and found everything working very well for a few weeks, the adbar at the bottom of my screen seemed comfortable and not too obtrusive, you do get use to the adverts coming and going and some are quite helpful. It seemed a good idea to find a simple way of making a little money for doing nothing more than having a small adbar. After a few weehs I started getting messages that the programe could not be opened, the solution was to stop the adbar which can be shown or not shown at your choice. Later I would click on and have ... more

    2 Stars Why bother 18/11/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages THEY pay YOU (suposedly)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor viewbar.

    Pros: Nice features at home page. Cons: Slow, freezes computer, crashes windows. This place is the most awful pay to surf program that i have seen. They pay the least and apparently no one that i have known has ever been paid by them. I don't think they roll over your money at the end of the month either. Obviously i am not willing to support this company and i will probably never be, but please bare with me and finish reading this. Pros: They have alot of great features at thier home page. Cons: They have an awfull viewbar that requires it's own browser to be open. It slows your computer down ... more

    4 Stars it is sorted now 03/10/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages it works well and pays out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lets see cashfiesta do that then

    No longer the crash programme. It is working well now and now that all the other schemes have lowered their payout rates to come in line with gotoworld the scheme is now proving one of the most reliable in september and october. Yes I am saying this about gotoworld. It is reliable and works well and is paying out 20p an hour and I have had a check from them today. Not that that is unusual for gotoworld but it is unusual from some of the other pay to surf schemes and that cannot be bad. So i ask those of you who are doubters to give this a try it is working now and I think that it has to be ... more

    4 Stars GoToWorld (UK) login & refferal tips 27/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No problems so far, available to UK surfers and plenty of referral utilities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None so far (hasn't crashed yet!)

    Although I've only been using GoToWorld.co.uk for week or two, it hasn't yet crashed once. There dosen't seem to be any problems at all, you don't have to "dock" it to the top or bottom of the screen, as with amny other Pay-to-surf programs. The only problems I've found is that it takes up to 2 days before your balance is updated in the Member Area. UK users of GoToWorld may have problems logging into their account, from the GoToWorld.co.uk homepage. I recommend you visit GoToWorld.com, click on the "My Money" button and log-in there. GoToWorld also gives you plenty of ideas and ways of ... more

    2 Stars I wouldn't bother 13/07/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Small download, no clicking required

    Disadvantages Disadvantages peanuts, won't stack

    This should have quite a bit going for it. Its a nice bar - certainly a very quick download. Also GotoWorld is a reasonable portal. Also, they have just released a messenger system, which is OK, but can't send off line messages! All this, but pay is peanuts. Around 10 cents an hour. Thats' OK on some bars, but this bar is too big, and can't be stacked. And only 40 hours a month - less than $4. 5 months until a cheque can be written. Reasonable try, but I won't stick with it. There are better bars for that money - OneSRC, Paybar... ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None - and i mean that!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything - and i mean that!

    Okay, this was one of the first Paid to Surf companies, but in my opinion, its one of the worst. Their pay rate is very low compared to the rest of the market place and their software doesn’t work all the time. When I was running the software (at the beginning of the year) they had nothing but problems. As a direct result of their software, my system kept crashing. It got so bad that I uninstalled their software and reformatted my system. At the time I joined, it was one of a few companies that were paying in UK Pounds. That was my main reason for joining their system. These days, there are a ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Alot

    It took me three atempts to register at GoToWorld and then tried another three times to download the software. I have now managed to get it up and running after it caused my computer to crash.The ad bar is not bad looking and you can use different skins, they are the only good things I have to say about this one. No green/red indicator to say you are earning and cannot log into my account page to check earnings either. Also they never asked for my addresse and post code etc. wnen I signed up, so I dont know where they would send cheques to (If you get any) ... more
