themutual.net is a good idea. Earn shares in a company for responding to adverts. As we can already see, we're being given a chance to benifit from the sites advertising. One draw back is the tracking used by themutual.net. Some of the offers I've responded to have not been added to my account after many months. When question I'm told that it's up to the advertiser to tell themutual.net that I've taken up the offer.

As each offer appears to have a click through value it does not seam fair to add this disadvantage to its members as they are still benifiting from the click through.

Shares can be earned in a number of ways. Firstly there are fast shares. These are a fixed amount of shares awarded for siging up to services. Some of these are paid services but others are services you where either thinking of siging up to or free services.

The second option is share back shopping. This is a bit like the cash back option you get with some credit cards. Put simply, you click on the retailer you'd like to shop from and make your purchase. You will receive a percentage of shares based upon the value of the transaction you make.

The other interesting option to earn shares is to sign up with one of their recomended 'Free Lottery' web sites. What do you ave to lose? You get the shares and the chance to win money for nothing (well these prizes are usually paid for using advertising revenue).

With the current stock market conditions shares have looked extremely sluggish though a recent increase shows the potential of this little pot of gold. It's also nice to see an updated share price on the home page of the site.

My major concerns are that there is no real content on the site and the value of shares per e-mail as generally been reduced from 10 to 1 share.

On the whole, it's a pain free experience that might prove to be a real earned in the long run. I plan to stick with them.
