AllAdvantage is a company that pays you to surf the web while viewing advertisements. Their software is called the Viewbar. You make money on an hourly rate, while you are actively surfing the internet. You can also make more money through their referral program which pays you for referrals up to five levels deep.
Payment Questions:
What is their payment plan?
-
AllAdvantage will pay you $.50 per hour that you are actively browsing the internet with the Viewbar active.
For your direct referrals, you will be paid an additional $.10/hr for each hour that they are online with the Viewbar. For your second through fifth level referrals, you will be paid an additional $.05/hr for each hour that they are online with the Viewbar.
Is there a maximum amount of referrals?
-
No.
Is there a maximum amount of payable hours?
- Yes. Currently, you can be paid for 25 hours that you are online with the Viewbar.
How do I get paid?
-
You are paid monthly by check, when their account exceeds $20. If you haven't yet accrued $20, the unpaid amount is carried forward to the next month.
Getting Started
How difficult is the signup process?
- It's very simple to sign up. Just go to their website, click on "Join Now," or click on the link to the left, and fill out a very simple form.
What personal information do I have to give to sign up?
- Name, Address, and Email Address. Also, for verification (in case you forget your password) your date of birth, city of birth, and a password question.
Can I download the software and start making money immediately?
- Yes, the Viewbar is available for immediate download.
Software Questions:
How big is the software download?
- The download is just under 1 megabyte.
How big is the ad display on the screen?
- It is about 1 inch tall, and goes across the entire bottom of the screen.
Can I reposition the ad display on my screen?
- No.
Is the software easy to close?
- Yes, the Viewbar has a down arrow that when clicked minimizes it to the system tray.
Is the software available for systems not running Windows (i.e. Mac)?
- The Viewbar is not currently available for any other operating system, but they say it will be available for the Mac soon.
Can I customize the software?
- No.
Are there any additional features of the software?
- The Viewbar has an "activity light" that turns green when you are actively browsing and making money. There is a "Deal" light as well. It will light up when there are special promotions you can take advantage of. It also has buttons that open the help file, and the AllAdvantage website.

Other Questions:
Do I have to be browsing the internet to make money, or does it work when programs other than my web browser are running?
-
You have to be actively browsing the internet for the time to count as payable. If there is no activity for 2-3 minutes, the "activity light" turns red, signaling that you are not currently making money. Also, if another program is on top of your web browser, the light turns red.
Do I have to click on the ads, or buy anything?
- No. You get paid just because the ads are there while you are browsing.
Can I use the service on more than one computer?
- Yes, you can use the service on any computer, but you can only have one account. Also, one computer can only have one account on it (the software restricts the program to one per machine).
Can I view my account information (hours logged, current accrued amount, etc.) on their website?
- Yes. You can logon to their website, and view your current account information. This includes your own Viewbar time logged, as well as your direct and extended Viewbar time logged. You can also view your name and address information.
Can I change my account information?
- Yes. You can change your name and address information, and you password.
Are there any special rules I should know about?
- Yes. You can only sign up only once. No spamming. AllAdvantage.com strictly forbids spamming to get referrals. You must agree to the membership agreement (part of signing up).
Is the service available to international users?
- International users can sign up, and can begin to make referrals. The Viewbar is not currently available for international users, yet, however. If you sign up, you will be notified, once it is available in your country.
Does the company offer any other programs?
- They do offer an "APlus" program. Their page is very vague on this, however. It seems that "APlus" members have more input. They also may have more money making opportunities available to "APlus" members.
