Do you think you have the right to privacy on the internet ? At least Cashgopher is telling you that they will install a cookie on your computer because you will receive ads related with the content of the pages you visit and your interests.
Come on people there are websites that monitor your activity on internet since the day you first connected and you never agreed to that.
The biggest intruder is Google.He placed a cookie in your computer and he will monitor all your activity on internet - and you never agreed to that.
Other websites are : scorecardresearch.com and quantserve.com. They know everything you are doing on internet and you never agreed to that.They have placed a cookie inside your computer and most of you don`t even know that.
Probably there are other websites doing the same thing.
So stop dreaming about privacy.At least with Cashgopher you can make some money.Google and the others spyware companies will never pay you for hosting their cookies :)

scorecardresearch not scordcard :p
“ScorecardResearch is a website that is used to help with the collection of Internet web browsing data on specific websites that have enrolled in a broad market research effort by comScore, Inc. to create reports on Internet behavior and trends. comScore, Inc. is a recognized authority on Internet and general economic trends, whose data are routinely cited by major media outlets such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and CNBC, and is extensively used by the largest Internet services companies and scores of Fortune 500 companies.”
Now who invited them in ?

I agree. You might as well be paid for something other companies are doing to you right under your nose.
I have already been paid once by CashGopher.. I have not noticed that it has slowed my computer.. Some of the pop ups may be a little annoying.. but It's Free Money.
I got already $10+ I wouldn't have had and I am working on my second payout. :)

I signed up fro Cashgoper last year right after started it. I found out I can't make money from it! it has to do with my computer. My computer is used and my oldest brother gave it to me. He is a computer programer and gets to take home the computers that get replaced where he works. Anyway the way the computer is set up,it won't let me use Cashgopher to make extra money. It is hard to explain but it is true. Frustrating,too!

Oh my gosh. I had no idea that sites could monitor everything we do on the internet. Where do you get all your smarts.

Most of the people have raised the argument about slowing the speed of the computer. Also, we are not sure how really it works and even if it is tested, the reliability of the program is not so trusted for the people who are much bothered on security.
For me, I found the earning is quite slow in the normal sense even if I used the computer daily 8-9 hrs. Many were demanding that they are getting a better money saving where as I found experienced it is comparatively less.
Thank-s

I agree with you on certain grounds. In fact I didn't check in which country you belongs. I'm from India and many of the people from here commented that the earning is comparatively very slow with some of the other nations. Even I read a comment from another country person said he has a tremendous earning though CG. I experienced only few cents every day, where as I used to use internet for 10-12 hrs. daily on all week days and 5-8 hrs. on Sat & Sundays. Still I found the earning from CG is very slow and the PC also become so slow. Even though we are not doing anything on it, the earning ratio made me disappointed and I uninstalled it for some time and permanently afterwards. I have no referral and that may be the reason for slow earning. Still, if I use the internet for 10 hrs. and an average usage of 100 hrs. in a week time and I am earning nearly 80-85 cents in this period and don't you feel this is too less for 100 hrs.?
Thank-s

Nowadays, our online security is our utmost consideration.
If we allow any spyware to enter our computer, easily our personal particulars like username, passwords, account number and so on will be disclosed easily.
Just because of earning those few dollars, we are exposing ourselves to the high chances of online fraud cases.
At the end, we are losing more if we are unlucky.
All of the while, I am starting to do some house-keeping works.
I am trying to abandon those slow and inactive earning sites.
Besides, I shall select a good online security software to protect myself when I am online.
Never simply download any software.
Recently, many people who admitted the online criminals were caught.
They cheated many online users to download the FREE musics, songs and so on.
At the same, they downloaded spywares in those users' terminal and tracked all of their information.
At the end, these online users had to pay for the price because of those free download stuffs.
Shall we want to be the next online fraud victims ?
Of course, no.
