Microworkers

I won't post the url but if you search microworkers you will find the site I am asking/informing about.

Have been using it for 3 nights now and seems quite a good way of building up a little money, you basically take jobs along the lines of liking facebook pages, clicking ads etc. Been making a couple of dollars a night for about 10mins work.... Not a lot but I do it while watching TV so not really taking up any of my free time. Should be able to get £20 a month or so which is not a lot but every little helps....

Anyone else use it? Good/bad experiences? Also anyone know similar or better sites?

Getting paid to click ads is click fraud (defrauding pay per click advertisers) and sites that get caught doing this will get banned by Google Adsense and other ad networks. So beware/ be aware of what you are being paid to do.

"Unfortunately, the problem with scams aimed at workers appears possibly even worse at Microworkers than that at MTurk. I would be certainly wary of giving out your personal details to anyone advertising jobs on any of these websites, including the Microworkers site. You run the risk of getting scammed or suffering identity theft. The fact that that these sort of jobs are advertised gives the site a slightly seedy quality, methinks, though I have no doubts about the honesty of the site owners.

On top of all the scams aimed at workers, there seem to far too many “dodgy” Microworker jobs on offer that are aimed at the general public, it seems to me. At best these sort of jobs effectively involve spamming other websites and forums with hyperlinks and adverts etc. on behalf of the job requester. At worst, some of these Microworker jobs may well just be scams and nobody wants to run the risk of perpetrating some sort of scam on an innocent member of the public!"
