One of the originals, Getpaid4 allows users to surf for up to 100 paid hours in a month - this is the highest limit out of all of the 'paid to view adverts' companies limit their members usage, they do this mainly to stop cheaters.
Signing up with Getpaid4 is easy and totally free, you give them your personal details (address, country etc) then you can download their free viewbar software - the getpaid4 bar.
They promise to split 70% of their revenue with members so earnings are calculated once each month and all accounts are updated with the current payrate, this tends to deter many visitors as most 'paid to view adverts' company users prefer to see the current payrate to get an idea of the amount they can earn.
I joined getpaid4 after having experienced many other 'paid to view adverts' schemes which only disappointed me, mainly because they only allowed me to surf 15/20 hours or because stats weren't updated in realtime - getpaid4 'hours surfed' stats are updated in realtime but not the cash amount obviously.
The service is very reliable, occasions where I can't log into the getpaid4 bar due to 'server problems' or other are rare - customer support isn't fast but helpful, I recieved a reply eight days after I sent them a message.
I haven't recieved a check yet due to the fact that I stopped using the getpaid4 bar and all other 'paid to view advert schemes' that I had been sucked into a while back as there are easier, less time consuming and more enjoyable ways to make money on the net. I've heard getpaid4 do pay but I don't recommend this company or any other scheme like it.
Out of all the 'paid to view adverts' companies this one is only average, the 100 hour paid usage is good but the getpaid4 bar only slows my surfing down and it's bigger than most similar advert bars.
Advantages: you do get paid Disadvantages: Too few adverts of interest, server often down
GetPaid4 is not as bad as many people make it out to be, just have a little patience. You do get paid. Many people have moaned about not being able to log on or the ad bar crashing. Sure it happens but they are only too willing to assist you via e-mail if you have a problem and will explain why things are problematic. Recently they have upghraded the advert bar which caused a fair ammount of down time. Be patient.
I have received over $200 for my ...

Advantages: 75 hours a month Disadvantages: bad payrate, unreliable software, still in beta
My son (CyrixDes) introduced me to a novel way to make some money on the internet and this was to have advert bars running whilst I was doing my general surfing. We agreed on a referral set up so that we could both make a few extra pence. GetPaid4 was one of our first schemes and unfortunately was the first one that we got rid of also. The main problem with the GetPaid4 scheme was that the advert bar software was so unreliable. It used to crash so ... ...ridiculous. Also the fact that they only paid 40 cents was a bit dissapointing also. The one thing in favour of GP4 was the fact that you could surf for upto 75 hours a month which is a very generous amount in my opinion. However the advert bar crashed so often on me that it is impossible to stay on for anywhere near that long. I'm sure some people will think that GP4 is good but in my opinion, and afterall that is what i'm on this site to do give ...

Advantages: Disadvantages: Large bar - high click ratio
Of all the Paid to surf Programs this one does have one of the largest advert bars. If you are dedicated towards it, it could earn you some good money, though how long it would take is a very good question! The program requires you have at least a 2% click rate to earn any money at all, if you go below this level you will earn nothing. This bar has potential though improvements are seriously neccesary to improve it to the average level of its competitors.

Advantages: 75 hours per month Disadvantages: very unstable software, poor pay rates, takes a long time for cheques to come through, need to keep in a click through rate
This is one of my many advert bar systems that I have on my machine and I am far from impressed with it. On the positive side, they offer paid time of 75 hours a month. This is really the only real positive I can find of it. There are numerous negatives though unfortunately. For starters the payout is around 40 cents an hour (around 26p) which by all accounts is pretty poor. The biggest gripe I have with it is the fact that the software is soooo ... ...very lucky. It has been in beta testing for months and months now. There are far more reliable and better paying sytems than this so I would suggest you stay away and stick to things like AllAdvantage, Cash Fiesta and so on. Also there is the tricky art of clicking on the right amount of adverts to stay connected to them. You need to click on between 0.5% and 5% of the ads else you are kicked off. Also you have to click on them at regular intervals ...

Advantages: Something to waste your time with Disadvantages: EVERYTHING
This program is USELESS!!! OK, they did pay me, but ONLY $15 after 3 months of requesting payment. That cheque also didn't clear through because after exchange rates, and fees I would end up paying the bank money, instead of receiving money!!
I've tried using and when I got to the minimum payout rate of $15, I requested a check. A month gone, nothing. Request again. Another month gone. Nothing. So I decided to quit.
Above that, its Ad bar is very ... ...and down, even when you tell it not to sleep when you disconnect.
Connection to their server also takes years, by which time you should have atleast another half hours worth of money. Sometimes it just gives you an error message.
It also requires you have a click thru rate between 0.5% and 5%.
So you MUST click on ads but not too many. What if you liked the ads?
Navigation of their website also is difficult, and doesn't give you your total earnings ...
