In case you have not yet heard, but Pay for Surf type sites have RETURNED!!

This is good news for those of us who spend UNGODLY amount of time online (yours truely of course) The site I am referring to is
SurfJunky.com. This site uses a Framed Browser window to pop-up ads every 30 seconds it will pop that window up and show you an ad. You click off the window and continue surfing..

Well, I don’t know about you, but I used to make a killing off of AllAdvantage with those browser hacks. If you run the program for 24 hrs/day @ $.75 / hr = $18 / day = $540. Might as well get paid for all that surfing you do. So lets find a browser hack to clean up on this..

Using a cool hack in Firefox, we can keep this window in a tab and keep it from “popping up” yet continue racking up the $$$$… Here is how!

After you sign up at Surfjunky, you will be presented with a link: “Click here to start the Surf Junky browser”
Click on this link with your Scroll wheel, or hold down CTRL when you click on the link to open it in a new tab.

Now, HOWTO MAKE IT NON INTRUSIVE:

Using firefox.
In firefox go to Edit/Preferences/Web Features

Click the Advanced button beside Enable JavaScript

uncheck:
Move or resize existing…
Raise or lower windows

Notice the Bling

***UPATE 2/23 Looks like they hate Firefox
Well as of this morning, users that are trying to use Firefox are presented with window that Firefox is now banned… Well that just sucks. Luckily we can get an extension that will change your user agent string to IE’s with an icon on your toolbar. Go to:

For Opera users:

* Open the “Click here to start” link in a new window (not a new page).
* Set the “reload every x seconds” to something appropriate (I chose 1 Minute), in the case the Surf Junk link stalls for some reason.
* Minimize or resize window.
* Browse in alternate tabbed window, leaving a separate window for Surf Junky.

I’ve got it running in a background tab. No popups, I don’t notice it’s there, and my account is going up!!!!!

***UPDATE***
Only run this in ONE TAB! Users have been reporting that their money goes DOWN when running it in multiple browsers/tabs/computers!

Also it appears as though they sometimes run ads that don’t resolve. This puts the program on “hold” if you are not watching the computer… You need something to hit “Reload” for you. Well, luckily for us their is a plugin called ReloadEvery. Install this plugin and have it reload the page every 5-10 mins. That way you can just leave this computer to making you the big $$$

From: Surge1
If you type javascript:void(xseconds=9999) into the add page then it update every 9999 seconds, wasting less bandwith.

From: DeviousTrap
If you use the Minimizetotray extention, you can open this in another window and send it to your tray.. That way you never even see it!

After you have your browswer working, lets hack it so it auto-refreshes correctly
****************************************************************
If you have used SurfJunky at all, you know that every so often it “times out” and if you try to refresh it, it goes back to the main page. Well I-Hacked Member Ryduh has come up with a excellent hack to get around this. You can read all about it on his site.
