1. Not Paying! - Since late 2008 this site has not paid. We found the last posts on their forum and when complaints started. Which leads me to the next reason..


2. Forum Gone? - Well they would like to think so. When you go to their site and click on the forum link it takes you to some advertising site. Which doesn't load, a "404."(https://www.ebgenius.com/)

Then while searching I found the forum through their payment email address that they were using to pay members. Google searched it and found when members where posting their proof they were posting the site's payment address, which helped to lead me to their old forum. And you can see why the link was removed from the site. Many complaints on the forum. See screen shots or try their forum link for more info:

4. 2 cents per click? - Very generous click rate. Especially for standard members. Most of the time it is 1 cent for standards and 2 cents for the upgraded members. Might be the reason why they went under and turned into a scam.

Summary:
Most likely this is a dead and drifting site, left up to scam it's last victim. We would not recommend this site to anyone for the reasons previously described. If anyone has been scammed by this site be sure to report them at any of these places:
