Pay to Read Facebook Application

Whilst Browsing though Facebook applications today, I came across one which looks remarkably like a pay to read scheme.

Cash Cliques as it is know, asks people to click on websites, stay on the site for 30 seconds and then move onto the next one.  In return a small trickle income is sent to the clicker via Paypal.

The sales copy for the application states:

By simply adding this application you can earn $ for clicking on websites, you don't even have to look at the website just wait 30 seconds and click on the next and get paid for everyone you click on!
We're not talking $Millions but a couple of extra quid a week for simply being on Facebook is better than nothing!
You can be paid by PayPal or cheque so you don't have to worry about revealing your bank details!
If you don't like it you can remove the application at any time, like any Facebook application! But UNlike other Facebook applications, this one can make you REAL money!
Good Luck!

In a pay per read scheme, the user will usually click through on a pay per click link, costing advertisers money, the clicker then pauses to simulate a real person reading content on a website before moving on.

The people who benefit are content providers taking a share of the ad revenue from systems such as Adsense or competitors trying to deplete the daily marketing budget of another company.

I would recommend that no-one signs up for application of this sort as they are just another manifestation of click fraud.
