    Their inbox must be full from over Xmas/New Year. I expect they'll be back at on the 5th. I'll try again then. Im still waiting for my 1st payment from months back but am ever hopeful. Got an email from Julie saying they were behind so heres hoping theres still a chance!

    just received this email:

    As part of our ongoing review of search traffic through our service it is apparent that your search activity is in breach of our terms and conditions or those of our partners at Yahoo! Search Marketing.

    We are receiving from you a type of traffic of which the quality is less than that which we determine, in our absolute discretion, to be acceptable.

    If this situation continues we will be obliged to terminate the service.


    what sort of searching is not acceptable I don't know.

    I signed up to myhpf 3 days ago after it was mentioned in the Daily Express (January 1st) to be one of the top 20 ways to beat the credit crunch. I did a search for it at the time and found the initial (long!) thread on this site about it and with people saying how much they've been paid, etc - which I think is the link given 2 or 3 posts into this thread.

    With all of those satisfied participants, and a national newspaper saying it's a good way to earn a little extra money, I'm giving it a go. At the end of the day they're searches I'll be doing anyway so if I get paid for it, great! If they don't, or are late paying, then it's not a huge deal as I'm not going out of my way to do something :)

    Good luck to all of you waiting for payment - it's probably the pre and post Christmas rush holding things up.

    I have registered, and put the box as my default search engine in IE, then I only search for stuff that I would do normally. I dont think its a way to make lots, as if it even looks like you are just searching to make cash then they would be within their rights not to pay, I just figure if I get some it will be a nice surprise :)

    One better i joined neobux 3 days ago and earned $4.53 with a 100 hired friends(which yo can do) and selected payout where it went straight into my paypal instantly. If anyone does join use my name mongal9 as your referral it doesn't hurt to try it out and its less time consuming than myhpf all you have to do is click 4-7 adverts a day. read more at neobux it really does work and forget myhpf they don't pay.

    myhpf is to earn you money for searches you would do normally, its not for searching as many things as you can.

    your site has nothing to do with searching, I'm not saying its not a good site, but I cant use it to replace my search engine.
  • it does not matter what it is for if it does not pay you or do what it says and my suggestion is merly for something else that does pay

    Theres lots of things to suggest then, you need to suggest something that can replace it, as myhpf pays you for carrying out your normal searches (or is supposed to) but if its for your normal searches, in the grand scheme of things it doesnt matter if you dont get paid, as you havent expended any extra time doing it.

    Your idea requires an investment of time, technically myhpf doesnt.
