- New and different email for each offer within a group. I personally find it easiest to use a new email for each offer as it is not always clear which offers are in the same family. Gmail, GMX, Yahoo and Hotmail are all good email providers. There are several others out there, just make sure it is not a disposable email provider.
- Clear cookies between every offer.
- There are many offers that in order to get more than one to credit in a day, you will need to close and reopen your SimpleGPT window. I personally clear my cookies before I close the window and then again when I open it.
- Pop-up blocker off. In internet explorer, click on tools, internet options, privacy tab and make sure the pop-up blocker box is NOT checked. In Firefox, click tools, option, content tab and make sure the first box is NOT checked.
If you have the Yahoo or Google toolbar installed, they both also have pop-up blockers, and you need to make sure you have those turned off as well.
- Check that you are accepting cookies. In internet explorer, click on tools, internet options, privacy tab, make sure your cookies setting are set to accept all cookies. In Firefox, click tools, option, priavcy tab and make sure you have both of the cookie boxes checked. In Firefox, if you don't see the cookie boxes, make sure that the dropdown under history is set to use custom settings.
- I have read in several places that IE8 is a hard browser to use for offers -- that there is something that interferes with the tracking process. I don't know how true this is, but if you are using IE8 and having problems, I would suggest trying Firefox.
Try different browsers also. I have recently had some great success with Opera. Besides Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer, there is Safari and Chrome.
- Go slow. Do not try to rush through offers or cookies will not have the time to track properly. In addition, I don't know that this has ever been confirmed, but there is a strong belief that many of the offers now have timers on each page. Form fillers which are now a big no-no will definitely hurt your chance of crediting because you will be speeding through the offer.
Please feel free to add if I have neglected anything obvious and I will add it. Thanks.

Great checklist!
If you have the Yahoo or Google toolbar installed, they both also have pop-up blockers, and you need to make sure you have those turned off as well. This is a step I miss checking sometimes after I reboot.

"If you have the Yahoo or Google toolbar installed, they both also have pop-up blockers, and you need to make sure you have those turned off as well." Sounds good but how do you do it?

If you do not see them on your bar, go to the Yahoo and/or Google page for popup blocker and they have instructions there.

Just go to your add-on if you are using Firefox and you can disable the toolbars. I find this to be the easiest way.

You want your pop-up blocker off so that pop-ups are allowed to load. Often, the tracking cookies are in the pop-ups.

It never hurts to do more than the offer requirements state. Clicking the confirmation emails keeps the advertisers happy by generating interest in their ads.
