YouData: get paid PayPal for watching targeted ads

Someone referred me to YouData, telling me that I would receive PayPal just for looking at advertising. I had my doubts, but I signed up for YouData anyway. Sure enough, once I filled out the Me Profile (key to do to receive ads - I missed it the first go through), and logged into the Adget, I was shown some ads. Once signed up, you log in to the site and Adget and see if there are any ads targeted to you. To make it easier, you can download the adbox to your desktop so you don't forget to check for ads, but I chose not to do that because my desktop is already cluttered enough.

The first time I logged in to view ads, I had quite a few and racked up nearly $4 in pending payment right away. I checked a few other times throughout the week and there weren't any available for me. Today, there was, so I clicked away. They pay PayPal on Fridays, so I waited to see if I would receive payment and I did!

Granted, it was minus a 9 cent PayPal fee, basically the cost of clicking on an ad, but it still came nonetheless. For your info, you don't need a business account to receive payment; mine was sent to an alias account that I have attached to my main account. The small fee, pennies really, was hardly missed in the grand scheme of things. I got a few dollars for little work. When you check your email, load a page, visit a website... you are bombarded by ads anyway. Why not be the boss of which ads you see? Why not be the one getting paid when you click?

I'm $4.25 richer this week because of YouData. I have read that ads wax and wane... sometimes there aren't any or very few. However, I am happy with my YouData experience thus far. It is just one more egg in my basket.

Are you interested in earning PayPal by choosing which ads you want to see? Please consider letting me refer you. Blatant referral link ;)
