I've seen them several times before, offers for free computers or laptops, provided you watch a certain number of paid advertisements a day. I was thinking that it's got to be possible to simply leave the adverts running while you're in the shower or in bed, or if you have to click them along while you're reading or chatting online or what have you. Does anyone know anything about these offers, or have a link to a page that is giving them away?
Thanks!

There is free stuff.
The laptop offer is not.
The game is called "click fraud".
There are two systems:
1) A company pays to have people click on it's competitor's ads. This costs money because the competitor has to pay for ever click. You can buy clicks wholesale...
2) Websites get paid when someone clicks ads on the site. So they buy clicks "wholesale" from some slimebag who then pumps out ads that say things like "make money clicking ads".
In both cases, they need clicks to come from as many diffrent sources as possible to reduce the chance of clicks getting rejected:
If Google or Yahoo or whatever ad company sees 5 clicks in a row from the same ip, they know click fraud is taking place.

The companies usually require you to sign up for credit cards, join certain programs, or complete other trial offers before you can qualify. I believe its all a scam and would not advise trying. Nothing in life is ever truely free.
