Get paid to surf – 6 reasons the eBesucher surfbar has worked since 2002
You start once, the pages rotate on their own
You open your personal surflink and the surfbar loads one advertiser website after another: blogs, shops, videos, news sites. Once the visit time is up it moves on by itself. No clicking, searching or rating required.
Free, no startup capital, no contract
Signing up asks for no payment details, there is no fee and no minimum term. A computer with an internet connection and an up-to-date browser is all you need to get paid for surfing.
Payout from 2.00 Euro
You cash your points out via PayPal or SEPA as soon as they are worth 2.00 Euro. Payouts are processed at least every seven days, you can request as many as you like, and no payout fee is deducted.
You decide which topics you see
You pick your areas of interest in the members area, and the surfbar then favours pages from exactly those topics. The surfbar optimisation guide shows how to sharpen the selection further.
Points are money – or advertising for yourself
Instead of cashing out you can spend the same points as advertising credit and promote your own site, your YouTube channel or affiliate links inside the surfbar. Booking advertising then costs you nothing.
On the market since 2002 – and reachable

Frequently asked questions
How do you earn money while surfing?
Advertisers pay eBesucher for real visits to their websites. We pass part of that on to you: for every website your surfbar loads and displays for the full visit time, points are credited to your account. Points can be cashed out or spent as advertising credit.
Is eBesucher really free?
Yes, permanently. There are no fees, no minimum term and no payment details at sign-up. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and an up-to-date browser.
Does the surfbar have to stay visible?
Yes. The surfbar only counts visits while it runs as a visible tab in the foreground. Minimised, in a hidden tab or behind another window, visits are not credited – advertisers pay for visits a human actually sees.
Do I need the eBesucher addon?
Yes. The browser extension drives the page rotation in the surfbar and also unlocks the jackpot graphics on the landing pages of click ads. It is free and available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera.
Why doesn't the surfbar work with an ad blocker?
Because an ad blocker hides exactly what the advertiser is paying for. A visit where the advertising never arrives is worthless to them, so the surfbar detects ad blockers and does not credit those visits. Disable the blocker for eBesucher and the pages it opens and everything runs normally.
How much can I earn while surfing?
That mainly depends on how long the surfbar runs for you and how well your areas of interest are maintained. A solid side income is realistic; the surfbar replaces a regular job only in very rare cases. If you want more, combine it with click ads and referrals.
When and how do I get paid?
From a value of 2.00 Euro. You request payouts via PayPal or SEPA, they are processed at least every seven days, and you can request as many as you like. No payout fee is deducted.
Does surfing work on a phone as well?
Yes. The surfbar runs in the mobile browser on smartphones and tablets. The same rule applies there: the tab has to stay visible in the foreground, a locked screen does not count.
Do I have to pay tax on what I earn?
That depends on the amount and on your wider situation – local allowances for occasional income and small-business rules usually decide it. You will find an invoice as proof for every payout in the members area. For your specific case, a tax adviser is the right address.
What happens to my data while surfing?
The websites you visit receive no referrer from eBesucher, and we do not pass your personal data on to advertisers. What is stored and why is set out in our privacy policy.
How does getting paid to surf work?
Paid surfing is a simple trade. Website owners need visitors and book advertising with us. We do not send that traffic from machines but from real members – and pass part of the advertising revenue back to them. That is your compensation.
In practice: after signing up you get a personal surflink. Open it and the surfbar loads one advertiser page after another, showing each for a set visit time. When the time is up, points are credited to your account and the next page loads. You do not have to click anything.
Only one rule matters: the surfbar has to stay open as a visible tab in the foreground. Minimised or behind another window it does not count. That is not red tape, it is the whole point – advertisers pay for visits a human actually sees.
What you need in order to surf
- A free eBesucher account. Registration takes under a minute and asks for no payment details.
- The eBesucher addon. The extension drives the page rotation and is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera – free of charge as well.
- A browser without an active ad blocker. A blocker suppresses the advertising that is being paid for, and those visits are not credited.
- A bit of screen space. A second monitor or an unused window will do – the tab has to stay visible, but it does not have to be your main window.
A powerful computer is not required. How to improve your hourly yield – maintaining areas of interest, unlocking categories, setting up ads properly – is covered in detail in the surfbar optimisation guide.
How much can you earn while surfing?
The honest answer: it depends on you, and nobody should promise you a fixed number here. Earnings per visit vary because they follow what advertisers pay for the category in question. Someone who runs the surfbar for several hours a day and keeps their settings up to date earns a multiple of someone who opens it once a week.
A solid side income is realistic – pocket money that accumulates alongside whatever else you do, or the advertising budget for your own project. The surfbar replaces a salary only in very rare cases. So before you hand in your notice, try it out: it costs you nothing but the sign-up.
Combining pays off. Click ads run alongside the surfbar, and the referral programme pays you 8% on the activity of the friends you refer – without anything being deducted from them.
Payout: from 2 Euro via PayPal or SEPA
You can cash your points out from a value of 2.00 Euro. The threshold is deliberately low: you should not have to collect for months before seeing that this actually works. Payouts go out via PayPal or SEPA transfer, at least every seven days, in as many payouts as you like and without a fee.
Alternatively you keep the points and spend them as advertising credit. That promotes your own website, your YouTube channel or affiliate links in the very surfbar you use yourself – visitors for your own site without investing a cent.
Getting paid to surf on your phone
The surfbar is not tied to a desktop. It runs just as well in the mobile browser on smartphones and tablets, and the rules stay the same: the tab has to remain visible in the foreground, a locked screen does not count. What else is worth doing on a phone is covered on earning money with your phone.
Is paid surfing legitimate?
The scepticism is fair – the “earn money online” corner is full of providers that vanish after a few months. Three things you can hold us to: eBesucher has been running continuously since 2002, more than 1 million Euro has already been paid out to members, and we are reachable with a legal notice, a phone number and an email address. What we store about you is set out in the privacy policy.
We are just as clear about what does not work: no earnings without a visible tab, no credit with an active ad blocker, no overnight riches. Anyone promising you otherwise is selling you something. Still unsure? Look us up on Google, read the reviews – or ask us directly.
