How It Works
Freeflatscreens.com is part of a co-registration advertising method run by Gratis Internet. They offer a variety of flat screen TVs and computer monitors to everyone who signs up for one of their various offers, such as the New York Times or Boca Java, and then successfully refers 8 friends who also sign-up for an offer.
Their sister site Freeipods.com has already received a great deal of press from Wired News and Geek.com that, along with a video segment on NBC, confirms the validity of these deals. Some people have even go so far as to post pictures of their flat screens and iPods online to prove to doubters this can work. Gratis Internet is also registered with the Better Business Bureau if you want to read their brief report.
To date they've sent out $3-4 million worth of free merchandise, but when you consider advertisers spend $50,000 for a commercial during Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and $1,000,000 for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl it makes sense that there's enough advertising money available to do this.
