Beware Of Misleading Ads !

When marketers create splashpage in hurry for the sake of earning those valuable commissions and getting signups, they don't realize that a tiny mistake can cost them not only their valuable reputations but future sales too.

Here's a perfect example when I was surfing yesterday at Traffictaxis.com and came across this splashpage and decided to investigate it. After reading every letter in that splash page it does give you the impressions (pardon the pun) that when you upgrade your account at Hittoad.com, you will be automatically rewarded with cash price EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SURF? .....right? but when I upgraded my account to the top level and started surfing for about half an hour, all I was getting was banners, texts impressions and credits bonuses..NO Cash !

Why is that? after all it says right on their page in black and white that ONLY upgraded members can earn cash prizes. That's just it, if you are a free member, there's no bloody way you can earn cash, you have to upgrade and look for it.

Furthermore, because the ' cumulative bonus surf ' includes all of the above ei. banner and text impressions plus cash bonus. In other words, you have to click the right toad to find the cash awards, they don't just give it to you right away, you have to work your ass off to find it.

The other beef I had with that splashpage was that he/she wasn't very specific of how long did that person surf per day, even thought that person earned thirty some odd dollars in two days but didn't get into specific how it was accomplished.

So, next time you see a that splashpage you know a little bit more about it and more informed and don't jump on it right away without doing your own do diligence.

Take care.
