There are now over a dozen companies now offering to pay you real money for just surfing the world wide web using your internet browser. Some of these companies simply pay you an hourly rate for the amount of time you are online - without too much effort you could be earning over $200 a month and upwards - and that's just one company. By signing up to more companies, you could be earning hundreds of dollars.

You must already be asking: WHERE'S THE CATCH?? Well, with most of these companies all you have to do is have a small banner somewhere on your desktop which displays adverts while you browse - see HERE too see one of these banners on a typical desktop. Not too much to ask really when you're getting paid for it. For a clearer understanding of how it works, click HERE for an example.

To help you decide which 'earn while you surf' companies you'd like to try, I've made a list of the companies making this offer - some may pay a bit more or are more developed than others so, where I can, I've given a brief description of each.
