Survey pop-ups are one of the most annoying stuff on the web, specially while watching free tv episodes. The sad part is some of the popular sites are killing their visitors by adding CPAlead and other survey ads. These types of ads can only be skipped after completing a survey.
While most of the surveys are scams or requires money to complete, they are bound to get on your nerves. Sometimes, you might not have any alternative but to complete the survey. Not to worry, we have 2 simple hacks to bypass cpalead survey ads which are explained in detail below.
1. XJZ Survey Remover Bookmarklet
a) Go to Survey remover and install the bookmarklet. I have tested it on Chrome and Firefox.
b) When you come across a CPALead survey popup, just click on this installed bookmarklet and whoosh, the survey popup is now gone!
They also have a Firefox add-on which you can install. The bookmarkelt works on CPALead, adscendmedia, cpalock and many other survey pop-over ads.
Important: Though XJX Survey remover looks legit and clean, I cannot completely white-list them. They themselves have some pop-overs (which are not annoying, but still they do have them) and also have sections explaining how to make money via authentic surveys, which all looks greyish for me. If you are uncomfortable with using their bookmarklet, check out the manual way of bypassing surveys.
2. Block/Bypass and remove Survey Popups – Manual way
Note: This is much more complex and geeky.
Tools Needed
Steps to follow
1. Open the page and go to the Web-Developer tool bar and click “Disable” > “Disable Javascript” > “All Javascript”
2. Next, right click on the CPA-Lead Survey box and click “Inspect element”.
You will then see something similar to this
3. Scroll up until you see an iframe element.
4. Click on it, so that it’s selected and then click on Delete key. Voila! the annoying popup is now gone!
Sometimes you might be required to delete few more elements which cover the entire page. Delete them as shown above and you must now be able to see and use the required content.
The best part about this trick is that you can use it to unblock/bypass “Join/Become a fan/Like, to view…” pages on Facebook. Right click on the page and click on “Inspect element” and look for “visibility:hidden”. Delete the word ‘hidden’ and replace it with anything you like.

even i did write a blog post about it.. But this one is superb ..
this will work but a simpler way is to use surveyblock (surveyblock.com)
i should have seen this post a while ago, i just bought a premium account from sharecash.org as i wanted to down some stuff frm there but it was bugging me with these surveys ,anyways thanx raju ,nice share as always
Cool! 1st solution looks easier. These surveys are very popular in some sites that i use regularly and its very annoying.
Hey is this only for CPA lead?
no, most of the surveys
hi, i saw this and tried it but it doesn’t have the ‘web developer’ button/tab
can i just ask what internet server you use and which version? Thanks
when i do the second method it says access not authorized
thks for shareing
its so use full
wat website is that?
when i delete the element the site behind it appears as a picture ?!
in both methods when i remove the survey the site behind it is just a pic… is it broken after i cut the survey or the guys that made the site are liyng?!
My money is on the latter: they are lying
It doesn’t allow me to right click on the survey. Nothing pops up…
I think this doesn’t work anymore, outdated…. Damn =[…
It does… for most cases
Thanks man, i figured out you just have to delete a few more IDs like you said.
cashload.org does not work, i click to download files and the “cellphone” scam survey appears
tks
The surveys is gone, but you cant download the file
XJZ survey remover works great, thanks
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! This is one of the niftiest tricks. I can now truly watch my tv shows RIGHT after they come out instead of waiting a few hours.

Thanks alot for this ! i should have found this article before
Whats the website for ms points ?
Not working on Tumbletrain surveys anymore.
The bookmarklet is excellent. Thank you.
I had the XJZ before the but when i try it on this survey it does not work for some reason and the java script thing, it says that in order to continue through the site JavaScript needs to be activated.
the problem u just stated of javascript activation. this according to me only works on chrome
second way is much easier on chrome coz it saves u 3 dollars. sadly i dont no how to disable javascript in (internet explorer)
o tyyyyy
2. Disabling java works way better
