Google Screenwise Project - Get Paid For Surfing The Web; Signing Up?

Like other online companies, Google launched its own market research program, Screenwise Project, and that's not all, Google will also pay you for participating in their program. In this program you will need to sign up and install an extension for your Chrome browser which will in turn let Google know about your daily site visits. In short, Google wants to know more about the trends in people's everyday internet usage.

And how will you be compensated? Upon signing up for the program you will receive a $5 gift card from Amazon and will continue to receive one every three months. You are also entitled to receive $25 in gift cards when you keep participating for more than a year.

After partnering with Knowledge Networks, Google has started another program to get in users to participate in such type of research surveys but only through personal invitation. In this case users will be asked to install a high-end Cisco router which will be used to monitor the daily site visits and for that the users will be paid $20 a month and $100 at start-up.

It must be kept in mind that even browsing in Incognito mode in Chrome will not help in protecting your browsing data. Both of these are good options for those who already know that their data is collected in some manner or the other but can be disturbing to some who would not like to share their private browsing information with Google. The registration for the program has not started yet but you can view the #-Link-Snipped-# and remember you always have the option to opt out of the program whenever you feel to do so.
