Anyone who owns a website knows how difficult it is to gain visitors. You may have the best website in the world, but if you can’t get website visitors, you won’t earn any money. We’ve all heard of the standard “try using Google Adwords” and “post comments on other blogs” to get traffic to your website, but what about some new ideas. Through trial and error I have found the following 5 unique ways to get website traffic to be surprisingly effective! More >

The other week I was coding a web page for a friend and he wanted to create a comment box that didn’t allow people to paste anything into the text box. This way people would be less likely to post spam. After a little while of researching, I found a way to disable the paste function in a text box using html. Also, here’s how you disable the copy and cut functions as well:
Just add these to your textarea tag:
Disable the paste function: onPaste="return false;"
Disable the copy function: onCopy="return false;"
Disable the cut function: onCut="return false;"
If you want to disable all three: onPaste=”return false;” onCut=”return false;” onCopy=”return false;”
I can't guarantee that this works in all browsers, however I know it works in most Internet Explorer Browsers and Firefox.
Do you need help implementing code? We offer html implementation services at very fair prices. Please feel free to contact us: survey[at]flurbl.com. If we can't implement the code, we can recommend someone who can!

I’ve tried out YourFreeSurveys for a few weeks now. So, what’s my review of YourFreeSurveys?
YourFreeSurveys is a website that doesn’t directly offer you surveys. Honestly, this was slightly disappointing. On their website they advertise surveys they are “giving” their members. YourFreeSurveys just refers you to other surveys. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in fact I got referred to some high profiting surveys this way. More >

It seems counter-intuitive to say that you can make money with a service that charges you for every click it generates. For those of you who don’t know, Google Adwords is a service that allows you to create an ad and choose keywords for when you want your ad to appear. The ultimate goal is to have your ad show up in search results when a customer is ready to by or sign up for a service and it just looking for a link to get them there. More >

It sounds funny, but the first step to making money online is to make one dollar. The hardest money to earn online will be your first dollar. In fact, it took me over one month to make my first dollar online! More >

I requested a $20 Visa Gift Card from ValuedOpinions after completing a few surveys. I promptly received the gift card, which is somewhat surprising since most online paid survey companies take awhile to hand out payment.
If you haven’t already, I would recommend signing up with ValuedOpinions. They pay a fair amount for each survey you take. I’ve gotten $5.00 for a 20 minute survey.

I’ve been a member of SurveyScout since 2006. I paid the full $34.95 to become a member. People always ask me, is SurveyScout a scam? Is SurveyScout legit? I’ll tell you from a member’s point of view and give you behind the scenes snapshots of the member’s area. Seriously, this is 100% honest; I’m not trying to make a sale and I’m not going to bash SurveyScout and then provide you with a link to another site that you still need to pay to join. I won’t hold back anything!
So, the nearly $35 fee, is it worth it? Yes and no. I found SurveyScout to be great when I was first starting out taking paid surveys online. It provided me with a list of paid survey sites to sign up with. I knew I could find most of those site links elsewhere for free, however it is so convenient to have them all in one place in an organized table.
Here’s what the paid survey database page looks like (I couldn’t take a snapshot of the survey sites… sorry):

As you can see, there are 6 full pages of survey sites. There really are more than you can sign up with. It helped out a lot when I had no idea where to begin.
If you’ve already familiarized yourself with the world of online paid surveys then you may think that SurveyScout is a scam. They are basically selling you a list of paid survey sites and some supporting information that, if you look around enough, you can get for free elsewhere. However, if you take the perspective of a newcomer to paid surveys, the $35 fee saves tens of hours of searching for paid survey sites and information on where to being and what other opportunities are out there.
One benefit of SurveyScout is that, upon signing up, you get a $25 voucher to a restaurant. I redeemed my voucher to a nearby restaurant and it was 100% legitimate. I ate dinner and handed them the voucher and they took it no questions asked. Vouchers were available to thousands of restaurants, so don’t think you won’t be able to find one near you.
Another benefit of SurveyScout is all of the extra offers and opportunities you get for signing up with the site. Along with links to paid survey sites, you get links to paid email sites, paid to drive sites, and other home-based opportunities like writing articles.
Here’s a preview of the bonus area:

Using the links in the bonus section I found out about writing articles online and I have since earned well over $100 from it. They really are useful, yet if you look around the internet long enough, you will find these links for free. The only thing is, with SurveyScout you don’t have to pay to register for these bonus opportunities, whereas if you found them yourself some incur a fee. Even some of the links through SurveyScout require you to pay a small fee.
SurveyScout has been around for a long time and no one has any major complaints. Yeah, once you find out that you could have found the links elsewhere you get a little bummed, but then you remember that SurveyScout really helped you get on your way. Would I take the $35 back? No, probably not. I found it to be a great resource for paid surveys, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will think so. I’ve made a few hundred dollars taking paid surveys and I would have to say that I owe some of success to SurveyScout.
Would I recommend SurveyScout? Well, even though SurveyScout certainly isn’t a scam, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. If you’ve already signed up with a few sites then I would hold back and save your money. If you’re brand new to the online paid survey scene and you don’t want to spend the time to look around for links to register and for recommended sites, then I would say go for it. It will save you time and the $35 fee isn’t all that much.
If you’re on a budget, then take a look around this site. We offer a free paid survey database (not as big as SurveyScout’s paid survey database, but pretty close). Click for the free paid survey database.
My overall review of SurveyScout is that it offers a great long list of paid survey sites and gives some bonus opportunities, but it is definitely for the beginners and not for advanced survey takers. They don’t directly offer surveys, just the links. So, if you’re already signed up with paid survey sites, it’s pretty useless.
If you are a beginner survey taker or feel that SurveyScout can help you out, sign-up by clicking on the link below! Good luck.
