Get paid to surf websites became popular in the late 90s, which was the height of dot com boom. Everybody as well as businesses wanted to be on the internet and be seen by this new wave of potential customers.

At the same time, the promise of easy money and getting paid to surf the internet attracted thousands of internet users who were looking for easy ways to make money online.
Get paid to surf is different from paid to click programs, in paid to click programs you get paid for clicking on ads, but on get paid to surf you get paid to visit page for a few seconds.

This is a good program as has been noted in other comments. However, it seems to be for people in the United States of America only. Do you have others where Nigerians can participate?
Hi Segun
How do I get genuine money making sites where Nigeria is included in the program because this surfbounty.com did not include Nigeria in their program?
Thanks a lot for this information, but there is a challenge and it has to do with the fact that nigeria is not included as part of the country that can participate in this offer.

Hello Idowu Nafiu,
Nigerians are not allowed to participate in the program.
Thanks for the info. I just really know now that this type of work had almost collapsed before. But it is good to know that it has risen up this well.
