About Being a Gomez PEER
How does the Gomez PEER work?
Each PEER in the Gomez network serves as a "beacon," running in the background of your PC, contributing its spare resources (such as otherwise wasted processing power, RAM, and bandwidth) to test website performance.
How does Gomez select which pending PEERs to activate?
All pending PEERs are continuously considered for activation. Gomez selects which PEERs to activate based on validated System Characteristics, System Activity and business need. Make sure you download, install, and run the Gomez PEER application to accrue system activity. Only peers with accrued system activity will be made Active; the more accrued activity the more likely it is that a PEER will be activated when there is an increased demand for testing in your location.
How to earn money as a PEER?
Gomez PEER payments are earned through one or more of the following methods:
- Processing Time Payments : Payment for the time your computer spends processing work for Gomez. Only Active Gomez PEERs are eligible to earn money for Processing Time.

About Security
Is the Gomez PEER secure?
The PEER application has been designed with security in mind. It does not access your personal files or data and never tracks your browsing history. The PEER application only processes information sent directly from our Gomez servers using SSL encryption to execute various Web performance measurements.
When the application is performing assigned measurements, all traffic between the Peer agent and Gomez is carried over HTTPS (port 443) protecting the Peer and the Gomez clients whose sites are being measured.
Communicating over SSL provides endpoint authentication and communications privacy over the Internet using cryptography allowing client/server applications to communicate in a way that prevents eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. In order to support enhanced performance of the monitoring system itself, Gomez uses 128bit encryption for SSL. This choice provides enough security to deter intrusions, yet provides enough performance to ensure that the Gomez platform operates in a scalable fashion.
Is Gomez Peer a scam?
No, it is not! Gomez Peer Zone is basically a subsidiary of Compuware Gomez which was established in 1997 and has a decent BBB rating (if that holds a lot of weight with you). This is important to note because it goes to show you this company has been around and established. It’s not in beta! It has been paying for years and has many members from around the world!
