They claim to pay $15 for each rebate you fill online for the company. But to show you are serious, you must register by paying $99.95. I wonder if anyone of our esteemed players can vouch for this site?

'Here's how it works:
The idea is for you to spam their list of surveys out on the internet using their "free resources" which are really just message boards and bulletin boards of other useless junk items, and then if someone happens to join up under your affiliate code, you send them $5 of the $20 they send to you. Mind you, you have to refund them through your own paypal account. So in reality you are paying them $97 to be their ClickBank affiliate (which is free), and of the $20 commission they give to you for someone signing up, you have to give $5 back to the person for signing up (because the spam message you post says they'll get a $5 rebate). Then if the customer gets this huge BS list and decides to send in for a refund, well, guess what.. You lose the remaining $15, but technically speaking, since you sent them a rebate of "$5" from your own PayPal account, and the money you get for the sale was originally credited to your ClickBank (CB) account, that now gets taken out (the original $20 you made for the sale), because ClickBank removes the cash from that refunded sale from you and the seller. So overall you've really just LOST $5 from that ordeal, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it except to suck it up and hope that no one else does that either, which is just plain silly because this list of "surveys" is so old and so whored out that chances of someone not getting a refund for it is slim to none.. Welcome to the internet, home of the scammers and cheaters galore. You've been warned.'

Originally posted by PocketKingsIt comes from the good old days when we used our bodyparts to measure things, instead of the metric system. Back then you would find odd measurements such as 'a thumb' (ca. 2.5 cm), 'a foot' (ca. 30 cm), and 'a fathom' (ca. 1,8 m).
"rule of thumb"
phrase that is used a lot, I even use it a lot. I wonder where it came from
So a rule of thumb was just a measurement.
