So I did sign up for a premium membership and I like the way they're guaranteeing you'll actually get your money's worth. At $60 a year, the premium membership awards you priority ad views in installments of 25 so you'll either receive at least 25 a week or none at all. If you receive none your membership will automatically be extended a week. With there being about 52 weeks in a year your membership ends up costing about $1.15 per week, so at ten cents per view you're guaranteed to more than double your investment throughout the life of your premium membership.

I'm still having a really hard time getting referrals--lots of clicks, only one actual sign up. At $5 a piece, referrals are not cheap, but AdFlasher insists that it's worth it considering you get a nickel per click. I think it would be more worth it if referral commissions went at least one level deeper or if they guaranteed active referrals but with the current arrangement...not so much. No matter how much you communicate with your team there is no guarantee that they will be active!

I still want to do a screencast of AdFlasher use, so look out for that! I was waiting to get some more Ad Views, so now I've got not excuse not to do it!

Additional, keep AdFlasher.net in mind as a means of effective online advertising.

And it's never too late to join AdFlasher!

Thanks for reading!

I enjoyed you being an option while it lasted. : (
I guess I'll be joining either Liberty Reserve or Alertpay soon after all.

I was gone yesterday and I see a lot has happened with AdFlasher! As a part of the previous updates I mentioned, pay per click is now $0.10 and pay per referral click is $0.05. Still pretty good if you ask me. And--as I was hoping they would--they've started a referral purchasing option. You can now buy referrals at $5.00 each and, yes--you can use AdFlahser funds to purchase them as well as the other payment methods--AlertPay, PayPal, Google Checkout, and Liberty Reserve. I went ahead and used half of my pending funds to buy referrals. It seems one can only withdraw funds with AlertPay now, though. It's pretty exciting seeing how quickly AdFlasher is evolving. I really want to put some attention and effort into being successful with AdFlasher, so what are everyone's thoughts on doing some sort of drawing for a giveaway?

Well there's been yet another update on AdFlasher. As it seems, they are no longer going to be selling View Packs. Rather, they are giving users the option to join as premium members at $60 a year (with a guaranteed return of $120) or use AdFlasher as free members. They are going to divide and distribute views each week with priority given to premium members. And that's that. They're implementing this change because the whole having to constantly check for View Pack availability thing apparently isn't working so well. They've also changed the pending funds thing to make earnings instantly available. I'm sure there are lots more changes AdFlasher is going to go through, so we'll see!

So apparently there were almost one hundred people cheating the AdFlasher system and all ninety-eight of those accounts have been suspended. AdFlasher is asking that anyone who sees people promoting use of AdFlasher in an inhonest fashion (with auto-surfers and the like) should report it immediately, and they assure users that their system can detect cheating rather easily.

I had a short period of time during which I was unable to login this morning--when I input my information the page just refreshed. About twenty minutes later I was able to login again. Still no View Packs available.

So I haven't been able to buy an Ad Pack because there are currently none available. I wonder if this is the case for everyone who is signing up or just for those who have already purchased one. AdFlasher also just launched the Free Ad Viewer....which allows you to view ads for...nothing. You gain nothing, of course, as well. I guess if you want to practice you ad viewing skills or are really, really bored it might be worth your time. Maybe.

Well I just finished viewing all 100 of the ads in my first Ad Pack. The issue I mentioned before regarding getting a lot of failed views has already improved and I think I only got two failed views today. I'm discovering how to view the ads faster--I spend no more than a couple on each one which allowed me to get through all my remaining ads faster than the ones I viewed yesterday. Here are my updated statistics:

Account Balance
Ad View Earnings: $31.50
Referrer Earnings: $0.00
Credits: $0.75
Debits: $0.75
Pending Withdrawal: $0.00
Completed Withdrawal: $0.00
Balance: $31.50
Pending Funds: $31.50
Available Balance: $0.00
View Pack Statistics
Ad Views purchased: 105
Ad Views completed: 105
Ad Views remaining: 0
Est. Viewing Time: 0.0 Hours (0 minutes)
Earnings Remaining: $0.00

I've also had nine people click my referral link but only one has actually joined up. That's better than nothing, though, and much faster than I was able to get any referrals in the other PTC that I actually am active with. My balance currently has $31.50 in it which is enough to cash out, but I'm going to use $15 of that to buy another View Pack, view those, and get my balance up to $46.50, then try to cash out. The site says payment takes 72 hours to process, so once I get to that point it will be the moment of truth!

Well obviously I just joined the site earlier and so far it is working as promised.  I only have so much to evaluate, but here's what I've noticed thus far.  Joining and starting is painless enough, and the first five free ads are a breeze--they're helpful in getting you accustomed to what to expect before actually purchasing any.

When you purchase an Ad Pack you only have three options--AlertPay, Google Checkout, and Liberty Reserve.  At first that bothered me because I don't actually use any of those.  I assumed that PayPal would be an option since they do pay people with it, but it's not so I ended up using Google Checkout.  Payment went through without a hitch and after processing was done (ten minutes later at most) I was able to begin.  The ad viewing process was identical to what I experienced with the first five ads.

I noticed that more than once my ad viewing "failed" however.  This was primarily due to me not viewing an ad long enough--so long as I waited for the "Done" status to show up in the bottom left hand of my browser I was usually fine, but a couple of times it randomly failed for no reason.  I also had problems with pages just not loading at all a couple of times--when an error message showed up (such as one informing me that the page didn't connect) then the ad view generally succeeded.  But if a blank page showed up then it generally failed.  I got a little agitated with this even though it only happened a few times because it was mostly out of my control.  After this started happening then the AdFlasher page itself started having issues and once I was able to log back in they had a notice regarding the problems with the high volume of failed ad views and said they were working on a solution, so that appeased me.

So I suppose that's all for now.  Here are my statistics thus far:

Account Balance
Ad View Earnings: $13.50  
Referrer Earnings: $0.00  
Credits: $0.75  
Debits: $0.75  
Pending Withdrawal: $0.00  
Completed Withdrawal: $0.00  
Balance: $13.50  
Pending Funds: $13.50  
Available Balance: $0.00  
View Pack Statistics
Ad Views purchased: 105
Ad Views completed: 45
Ad Views remaining: 60
Est. Viewing Time: 0.6 Hours (36 minutes)
Earnings Remaining: $18.00
As you can see I've clicked 40 of my ads from the purchased pack (plus the five free ones) and have 60 more left to view.  No complaints thus far.  I'll update again soon!

I'm always looking for and coming across new opportunities and, after finally managing to find some success with one PTC (pay-to-click) program I had previously been a part of I quickly became interested in the new one I've come across.


The company is called AdFlasher--it is fairly new and you are paid to click and view ads from various advertisers on the site. It is free to join and you are given a five ad credit (valued at $0.75) from which you make $1.50. After that you have to buy additional Ad Pack which are sold at $15 for 100 Ad Views. You make $0.30 per view which will total $30 once you've viewed all one hundred.

A view is a grid of 54 ads, half of which will flash yellow while the grid is loaded. A few (2 or 3) of these will display a countdown one by one and when this happens you have to click on it. The site will load, you'll view it, close it, and return to the grid. You will be notified and credited upon successfully completing the view. 100 views are estimated to take about an hour to complete.

It's still very new so there are definitely some bugs to work out as I've noticed, but I'm excited to see what happens with it. There is a referral program from which you can make 10% off the gross sales from those you've referred.

You can also buy advertisements and manage a campaign on AdFlasher, so it's really worth looking into.

I'll have a lot more information regarding my experience with this company.
