[UPDATE] Topline partially showing ads again for International users

It seems like Topline now shows 1-2 ad banners again for non-US users. Even if it's not much, you can still earn about 10-20% of what you used to earn before, if you like outside the USA.

It's not much, but it's definitely a step forward. Hopefully, the full set of ads will be up again for all of us in the next few weeks/months. Stay tuned for updates.

If you're new to Topline, the registration link is down here:

Topline increases the point value but neglects non-USA users

If you don't know what Topline is, you can check out my guide here.

It seems like, a couple of days ago, the point value rised from $0.75/1000 ads to $1.00/1000 ads. However, people from outside the USA (including Canada and Australia) are no longer shown ads through Topline, therefore they can't earn anymore.

Here is the semi-official response to my email:

Thanks for contacting TopLine support.
Unfortunately, our current advertisers are seeking U.S. traffic only. This means that for the time being, we can only award TopLine points to U.S. users. We are, however, actively seeking advertisers in other parts of the world. Your region will regain the opportunity to gain points once advertising is available for that region.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,

TopLine Team

Please take a minute to help make TopLine even better!

This is sad news for some people. Many of them are complaining of how close they were to cash out. However, if you're from the USA, you have nothing to worry about - on the opposite!

i-Gagnant LaBarre - The floating adbar (Passive earner)


i-Gagnant is a relatively new passive earner program. You can read below what it is, what it does, how much you can earn with it and everything else you need to know before registering.

What you have to do - Upon registration, you just have to install their adbar. After that, you just login and you're good to go.

How it works - The adbar you just installed floats on your desktop. You can drag it wherever you want ot just put it in a corner and forget about it. It is not a huge, pixelated bar, so you won't notice it at all most of the time. What is more, if you watch movies or play games it doesn't even show up anymore, even if you're still earning money from it, which is great. It has a refresh rate of 15 seconds. After that, the advertisement banner will change and so on.

Pay rate - For every displayed advertisement you receive a certain amount of points, depending on your account status. There 6 types of accounts right now: non-VIP and VIP 1 to VIP 5. The higher your VIP level is, the more you will earn from each advertisement. Right from the beginning, you're given a VIP1 status, which is pretty nice, because you earn 1.25 points from each ad. The payrate at this moment is of about 1 euro (not dollar) for every 11.000 points. It may not sound as very much, but given that you don't do anything I think that it is worth the time.

Payout - The minimum payout is 15 euros for virtual accounts (Paypal and Hipay) and 20 euros for physical checks (for France only). Here is the officialforum thread for payment proofs.

Referral system - The referral system is great for a passive earner. You earn 20% of your level 1 (direct) referrals' earnings and 5% from your level 2 referrals. This includes points from ads, clicks, lottery and bonuses, without any restrictions.

What's more, if you don't have enough time to seek referrals or just want to take some chances, you can participate in the referral lottery. The concept is pretty straight-forward - you buy tickets; each ticket is another chance. Please note that they are not referred to you for a certain amount of time - you get them for life, if you win of course.


Games and bonuses - There are lots of games available from which you may earn bonus points. Firstly, there's the bonus banner - whenever you see it, click it ASAP. You can earn from 5 to hundreds of points depending on your VIP status. Secondly, there are free games you can play every day, including 5-card poker. Thirdly, there are many contests you can take part in if youinvest in I-Passes (the other currency). Obviously, you can earn much more from those contests, compared to ther free games.

Note: You DON'T have to click on ads in order to earn from them. The only time you may want to click on ads is when the bonus banner is shown.

Topline guide (passive income)

I will be trying to give a detailed description of what Topline is and what it does exactly. Also, I will be giving a few tips and tricks on how to get some direct referrals, so bear with me throughout this.

What it does: Topline's plug-in replaces the ads from the websites you visit every day with their ads. For each page you visit that contains ads you receive 1 point. Later one, you will transform those points into money.

What you have to do: Obviously, you have to sign up first. Then, you will have to install that plug-in I was talking about earlier. It is available for Firefox, Opera and Chrome users, so there's no worry about incompatibility. After you do this, you're all set and you just have to continue with your usual surfing.

Point system: On average, after one hour of browsing, you will probably have around 150 points. Currently, the point value is set at $0.75 for every 1000 points, which is not so bad given the fact that you don't do anything. Once you have $10 worth of points, you can instantly cash out.

Payment: Like I said, the minimum payout is $10, to Paypal. There are no transfer fees.

Referrals: This is the most interesting part. You get 5% of your referrals' points, which doesn't seem that great at first, but if you manage to build a steady base of referrals - let's say 20 - you will earn a lot more than before, doing nothing. Here are a few tips on how to get direct referrals on Topline:
- ask your friends to join - Since they don't have to do anything, most of them will probably accept.
- post your referral link on Facebook, Twitter or any forums where you are active. By doing this, I managed to get about 50 referrals in one week (one post per day).
- use traffic exchange websites. EasyHits4You is highly recommended.
- use referral exchange websites (Datsoup is great).
- if you want it to really pay off, invest a couple of dollars into an advertising campaign on websites like Neobux, Clixsense, etc. Since Topline isn't so well known, you will probably get hundreds of referrals with about $10 invested, but it all depends where you'll post your campaign.

Proof: Here's how many points I managed to get in two days of surfing, with ~100 direct referrals:
