You may find this site useful: http://www.randomizerszone.com/toplist/index.php I would be very wary of randomizers. They are based on the idea that the sign up link on a web page can make the full payment for a sign-up to a randomly selected member, so, instead of sharing the payments equally between a group of people, each payment goes to one person who is chosen, as it were, by lottery. It may sound as if you can make a lot of money fast but, in fact, in a properly run randomizer, your chances of a long term income are exactly the same as if everyone in the group shared the proceeds of sales. In other words, it is nothing more than a gimmick - the same kind of gimmick that makes playing fruit machines or roulette so popular. In fact, you are really at the mercy of the person who owns the randomizing script. It would be very difficult and probably impossible for a member to check that the script was truly random and was not biased towards paying some members more frequently than others. I think it may be highly likely that the scripts that 'randomize' the links are set up so that they pay out to new members quite quickly, maybe for two or three times, so that, once they are hooked, they are more likely to stay. Thereafter, the payouts will reduce in frequency so that equality is restored in the long run.

I won't join a randomizer. Because of their name, it sounds like payments go to members who have been chosen randomly. One person could be paid five times, while another have been paid zero times. As the number of members in one site increases, that will decrease my chances of earning money.
