There was no innuendo. I just said it looked like an MLM site rather than a surf site. Just different types of opportunities,.
I'm not sure where you're getting the "pyramid" from in my definition of a surf site, or how it depicts MLM.
"A pyramid scheme (also known as "Pyramid Scam") is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme
Surf sites are advertising programs, just like a traffic exchange. A surf site might offer a referral commission on one level only, but this is not a requirement of the program and therefore doesn't resemble a pyramid in any way.
MLMs are sometimes pyramids in disguise, and sometimes they cross the line into pyramid territory. A legitimate MLM is a first and foremost a retail business that allows bonus commissions on several levels of referrals, but doesn't require signing anyone up to the opportunity. It may require a monthly fee or autoship to qualify.
For example, SFI (my MLM) pays 30% commissions on retail products without ever recruiting another person. If I sell (or buy) a specified amount each month, I receive a bonus by increasing my status, which doubles my commission rate to 60%. That bonus also enables me to carry a downline of other affiliates on whose work I could earn additional retail commissions. The most I can earn, if I have a certain number of upgraded people on my team, is 80% of the commissionable volume of the product (a $29.95 product might have a CV of $19.00, so 80% of $19.00). It is NOT a pyramid.
Some surf sites turn out to be "Ponzi" schemes. In a ponzi, the money raised by recruiting new members is used to pay the earnings owed to old members. These schemes don't last very long, as they quickly collapse if memberships slow down (which always happens).
