Skim Links is an affiliate site you should avoid. They don't state in their policies that you must have content or links on your site pertaining to merchants. If you don't meet this requirement, they will reject you and tell you that it is their final decision.

The first reason why you must avoid this site as a seller is that they will take fees out of your credit card or bank account some time after they pay you the money from a sale you make - this is an inconvenience, especially if you have little or no money in your account at the time. Secondly, they neither check with the retailer you link items to to see if they will accept the purchase and deliver your item nor do they give you adequate information to enable you to contact the third party retailer and have the item delivered - this is stressful and a waste of time for sellers and customers. I incorrectly blamed Overstock for not delivering a wallet I sold in the fall - now that I have experienced this situation again from selling items through Amazon, a reputable dealer, I know that Atomic Mall is at fault for not making sure you can verify that your item will be delivered before accepting or declining the sale. Finally, sellers must be very careful when opening an online store account then relying on sites they represent as the middle man to deliver the items - it's often not worth it to be the middle man or woman.

Clixten runs ads saying you can receive up to four cents per ad click. No. I tried them for awhile. I clicked a lot of ads but never got more than two cents a day tops and you can't cash out until you have accumulated at least two bucks.

The site mentioned above just pulled my ad that described my business and had the link to it, saying it violates their rules. The problem with them is they don't enable you to create a profile and list your links.

As a member of Ayuwage, I used to easily make at least five to ten bucks a month reading ads and following many of the menu options in my dashboard. Alas, the last several months have been bad regarding the earnings potential. Because I'm now hard-pressed to have enough ads to reach the level of 10,000 points to earn 5 bucks every two months, it's no longer worth it to open their ads, switch back to doing my other online work in another tab then return to the ad landing pages to click on page content/links or whatever else is required to finish that task.

Textbroker now requires writers to re-verify their accounts by sending a photo of themselves showing their faces completely while holding a picture of their ID cards that is easy to see in the photo too and if you don't comply within a day, they permanently close your account. I'll try to find a better site that lets you write for clients and is likely to last.

Ad Mash Media is a bad site that website and blog publishers can use to monetize their sites. After registering with them last week, they immediately approved me and gave me access to code I could install on my blog to start running ads. However, they canceled my account within two days without notification. This baffles me because I did not break their rules. I sent them a message asking for a reason for termination but they have not responded.

It is not worth it to sign up for the Google Ad Sense program. It is hard to make more than a few cents a month. Second, it is too easy to be banned for life without cause. After being notified that my account was being terminated for invalid click activity, I filed an appeal explaining that I never clicked my own ads, urged others to click my ads or artificially generated clicks on my blog but they wrote back saying they could not reinstate me.
