Wow, that brings back some memories, that was a LOOOONG time ago. They fucked me outta some money. I did get one check in from them for $183, but then they fucked me outta a few hundred more than that.
As far as info on it. I found this page here on CNet which has some great info on it. It's REALLY good which explains all about it -

Ha ha ha ha, check out this quote from Cyberthrill that I got from that CNet article
--------------------------------------
Thomas characterized the banner advertising system as a huge success with tens of thousands of participants. But the vast majority of those participants are cheating, he said.
"Seventy-five percent commit some kind of fraud," Thomas said. "A lot of it we forgive, and send some kind of warning. But about 30 percent are blatant and repetitive abusers." Those users get their accounts canceled and are not paid for the hits they generated, he said.

Choke Choke, WOW 75% of the webmasters that promoted them commited some kind of fraud. Damn, I bet that about 90% people commit fraud that promote Amateur Pages, ha ha ha. I like how they say "a lot of it, we forgive", that's classic shit there.
Here's another page that follows someone's dealings with Cyberthill, he posted their emails and stuff, interested stuff -
