Are all free giveaways just spam or spyware? are any of these banners and links legit or just a waste of time, i have to admit ive been tempted to click and go, but im scared of downloading some virus, or not actually getting the whatever free offer it is after lots of surveys ect. anyone had any real free hookups through those advertisements?
thanks for the feedback in advance.

Don't bother with scams my friend.

There are many 'white hat' ways to get traffic.

Which banners and links are you talking about?
Most sites ARENT scamming at all, they do give things like ebooks for free, but of course there are always sus sites out there.
