They have changed their rules, which seems pretty standard for these "reward" sites.

My take is the advertsiers, who were probably promised zillions of new customers, instead got a bill from Alta Vista for zillions of click throughs without any real increase in sales. Some of the advertisers have pulled back, or pulled out--since it started.

Now the number of click throughs has been reduced to THE FIRST 10 FEATURED MERCHANTS YOU VISIT EVEY DAY. I have clicked through on ten 50 point merchants, and have received anywhere from 1 to 300 points for the day.

This is really too much hassle for what you can earn. At the old 1000 point limit per day you could earn 100 Click Reward miles for 3000 Alta Vista points, or 100 Click Reward miles every three days. It did take some time. This is now reduced to 100 Click Reward miles every six days, assuming that you get 500 AltaVista points posted per day--which seems to be a daunting task, even if you click on all of the merchants allowed for the day.
