Suckers: They are born every minute....
I can see this as a way to generate leads for:
1. People who are suckers
2. People who want to make money online
3. People who are tired of having a slow connection
4. ... theres plenty more.
From a business perspective I like it. There's lots of money to be made. Here's a few ways they can make a few bucks:
Making money by selling Leads: They can simply sell these leads to MLM lead companies and get around $10 each. The MLM companies will then use the leads in-house and profit first, then resell the leads about 10 times in various tiers, 1day, 7day, 15day, 30day 45.. you get the point and with full info or partial info. The quality of these leads are extremely good. Highly targeted, Dialup user targeted, Income opportunity targeted. People selling a product or service can make some good money off these prospects.
Making money by selling a service: Netzero has affiliate programs. Several DSL providers, like Earthlink, have affiliate programs. I use to pitch Direct TV DSL and make a hefty referral cut of $80 per subscription. Back then DTV offered at the time and it varies: 3 months for $29, no setup fee, no shipping fee, $49 thereafter, it was easy to giveaway.
Making money in MLM: Of course you can ask your new customer... "would you want to make money selling DSL?" (yes, no, who cares) If they what you've done, you can make money off your descendants. Not a bad compensation plan I must say but I would certainly only support MLMs with real products involved and is very competitive to existing services.
Making money of "Income Opportunity": Now this is really wrong! This is where we can go from a legit MLM to an illegal Pyramid Scheme. People paying people to make more money. No product, no service, just money involved. It's stupid, costly, and very unprofessional.
Now back to this news story... This method of advertising is very deceptive. Sure you will never get all the mentioned spam, error pages and all that stuff they will pay you for because it's vaporware!
It's got to be the most controversial method of viral advertising today. It only mentions that "it's free" so many times that they are simply pushing people to sign up just to get your costly information. Be ready to get LOTS of spam and even phone calls. (the DNC list doesn't work here as there is a 90 day waiver for leads) Their privacy policy,
»www.juiceboosted.com/privacy.php, states "Sometimes... we will give out your information to ...". It is questionable that your information is safe.
This is definitely a SCAM for harvesting information. Definitely steer away from it.
