There are business models that may appear not working at the first glance. During dot-com's heyday, there was an Internet advertising company called AllAdvantage.com. The company paid members to view advertisement on their computers. Registration was free. The company's practice of compensating existing members for referring new members led it to become one of the most heavily promoted websites of its time. The company was a real business although it survived for only about two years. There is evidence to support this claim because a reward check from AllAdvantage.com was not cashed and recently found among other letters. Although the company had paid out over 160 millions to its members, it is suspected that very few reward checks were not cashed. The financial burden prohibited the company to reward members with cash bonus which was replaced with prize drawing before the company was finally shut down. For additional information about the company and its business, see AllAdvantage.com.

There are other business models that reward members and referrals. PayPal is a successful example. Unfortunately, the 5-dollar signup bonus was already cancelled when registering for membership.

In conclusion, paid website testing may be a viable business concept. Alpha Market Research, Inc. appears to be following this path. However, its financial strength and thus sustainability is unclear.
