The Bottom Line
There's little to no money to go around. But, my gut feeling is this site will take off, and there's no reason not to do it.

I only recently signed up with Adsenger, but here's what I've figured out so far. First of all, it's not going to suck up your resources like most of the other "paid to surf" programs. There is no ad bar to deal with, so it won't eat up your desktop space or ram. Also, it checks with you before it plays ads to make sure you're not doing something else. That's what I like about it. If I'm busy doing homework, or really involved in surfing, I don't have to deal with it. Also, they have probably the highest payout I've seen on the internet. $10 per hour of viewing ads. Here's how it works. You tell it a little about yourself and what your interests are. When they look to show an ad to you, they do one that will meet your interests. Then the icon in your system tray alerts you and asks you if you want to view the ad. If you say yes, it downloads the commercial (they're video's, not banners, so they take a while to download and eat up some bandwidth while they're at it). You watch it, and you get paid. There are also instant ads that are a lot smaller, and usually just text that will give you $.05 per view. Sounds too good to be true right? Here's the downside. I've been using the service for a week now and gotten a total of ONE commercial and two instant adds. The site is small and has very few advertisers so far. Obviously, with this lack of commercials to watch, there's going to be a lack of money. The bottom line on this site is that as of right now there's not enough money to be worth it. But I'm keeping my account and building up my referrals because once this site starts to get some more advertisers, I think it's gonna become one of the most popular pay-to-surf sites on the net. It's a great idea, and I think people will flock to it because of it's convenience, especially once the money starts to be worth it. Until then, the little guy will continue to sit in my system tray and do nothing (except for the occasional instant ad). Hey, why not, it's not bothering me. And that's the best part.
