Capitalize on your advertising investments.

I just found out about a program through which you get advertising, and a share of the program's revenue! Naturally, this only works up untill people stop investing in the program, but it being new, I thought it could take a while and I could get something out of it. At least some good exposure for my blog, etc. :)
Here's how it works:
You first need to buy adpacks, prices ranging from 10$ or more. I personally bought the lowest, the 10$ pack, to see how things go at first. For this money you get one text ad, one banner and one site ad, which are displayed on the site.
As far as the money issue, you earn money with your adpack. This basically means that after you buy the adpack, you are sort of a shareholder, and get a share of the site's revenue. As long as people keep signing up and buying adpacks, and the site does well, you do well.
You can cash out when your adpack reaches maturity, which means when you cumulate 150% of your initial investment. This could take a month or so, but it will happen.
Then you have the option of cashing out, or buying another adpack. Naturally, you could cashout the 5$ and reinvest the other 10, but then you'd have to wait another month or so. Basically, the more adpacks you have, the faster you earn.
You also earn 10 to 20% from refferals, which is pretty good. So please, if you decide to sign up, use my refferal link. Thanks! ;)

Hi cristi12,
This sounds so crazy, it just might work!
Actually, it really just sounds like another ponzi-structured scheme.
Where does the site's revenue come from? Apparently, from people like you who are paying to buy "adpacks".
How does it pay it's shareholders? Apparently, from people like you who are paying to buy "adpacks".
So if I'm reading things right here, the system is entirely parasitic - the only way you can get paid is if more people pile on and buy "adpacks" after you.
And sooner or later, when there's no more people piling on to buy "adpacks", a whole bunch of people are gong to get stiffed. They won't get any benefit from their "investment" because it will be used to pay the people who piled on before them, and there won't be anyone piling on after them to provide the cash to pay them.
So, yes, as you say, it probably will work for a while.
And then a bunch of people will lose their money (their "investment") which they've used to buy "adpacks" along with umpteen million other "investors".
Honestly, I'm appalled that these schemes just keep on cropping up like mushrooms all over the Internet, and worse still, people keep buying into them.
It might work for a while, but eventually it won't, and people will get stiffed.
