Google pays you to test?

Did you know that Google actually has a program in which they will pay you to test out future software roll-outs and answer surveys on their product line? If I hadn't seen it firsthand I would never have believed it. best of all, there's a finally trusted site that actually pays for surveys.

If you haven't already done so, you should check out Google's user experience program and sign up. Most of their offers pay around $75 for an hour to an hour and a half of testing and response, which isn't bad at all. You don't have to live near their corporate headquarters in California, either. Crazy that I've been working on the internet for so long and never heard of this until now. Maybe it is new?

paid survey scams

My wife was recently perusing some of these so called "paid survey" sites on the internet. I had to give her a bit of a scolding for doing so. Wouldn't something like porn be more dignified? LOL. Most of them have got to be scams. Definitely the ones that ask you to pay money for access to their "listings" - whatever. It amazes me that these companies manage to stick around. You would think that the scores of people who age been burned by them would make it well known, and that others would know better.

Maybe they're changing their names. Or, maybe their diluting the truth told by previous sign-ups with their own fake testimonials. I know for a fact that a number of supposed positive testimonials and forum responses were written by the people who run the websites. Other than that, I think that many of the people who have been burned by these things see the opportunity to make money as an affiliate so they promote the site anyways. What a joke.
