Taking A Long Vacation From Internet Marketing

I believe I owe some of my long time loyal readers a sincere apology. I am deeply sorry for not updating or posting anything on my blog for a long time.

My wrists were getting so sore that I just couldn't type anymore, they were that bad so I had to do what I needed to do and that was to quit.

I will be back as early as next year so stay tuned.

Rant Of The Day !!

So I came back yesterday from my trip in Lake Tahoe and while checking my inbox I noticed a Paypal notification for a subscription from Traffic Taxis for $24.99 or something like that.

Of course I went to my TT account and logged in and noticed that my account say I'm still a FREE member, WTF !!!

I was charged for the bill on December 6, 2009 and today was the 15 so I started to wonder how long have I been a free member since I was charged 9 days ago. Anyway I sent them an email telling them my concern regarding my account and after several hours went by, my Traffic Taxis account was finally upgraded(Yeay!).

However until now I haven't received any email from the admin explaining what the heck happened.

What would have happened if I didn't say anything? would my account stay free until I send them a message.

Why haven't they sent me any email telling me exactly what happened. So I guess this is normal behavior in traffic exchange industry where every time someone complains about their account, they just go ahead and fix it without telling you what happened. Needless to say I cancelled my subscription from Traffic Taxis.

This should be a lesson to you all who pays subscription fees to traffic exchange programs. Always check to see if you are getting what you are paying for.

In a world of technological advances, things go wrong and people just need a simple explanation as to what happened that's all, I mean is that too much to ask?

Till next time.

Simple Yet Effective Twitter Bot

I've seen so many of these twitter bots that I started to tune them out because they don't work as well as they should. Most of the ad copy or headlines are either copy of the previous version or just down right boring or they have tons of pop up before you could fill in the form.

This one that I have found is very simple and I guess that's why I like it.

It doesn't have a pop under or pop up ads once it loads up however, there is one that comes up only after you fill out the form and that's why it's more effective.

So how do you get thousands of followers using this simple twitter bots? you promote it all over the place every waking moment. There are twitter bots that actually roams the world wide web on your behalf and continuously add followers on autopilot but you have to pay a lot of money for it.

Happy Tweeting !

Cool, I Made $56.78 From This Program?

Several years ago, I couldn't make dime online even if my life depended on it and now with simple techniques and a ton of hard work, anyone can cash out $50 bucks per month from one solid traffic exchange program.

All you need is a teaspoon of clever marketing technique here and there, a tablespoon of trustworthy hard working traffic exchange owner and a couple of cups of blood and sweat of hard work.

Even though the traffic exchange program that I cashed out that $56 dollars from only offers 25% commissions, it goes to show you that if your downline have confidence in the owners ability to improve his program and my downlines are getting good results from their promotions and advertising, they will support it.

Max Traffic Pro is one of those traffic exchange programs that maintains a low profile and doesn't really claim to have hundreds of thousands of active members but the owner works really hard for his members.

So, How do you earn commissions from traffic exchange every month? Persistence

There's no top secret that I can give you other than I wasted over 50,000 credits spread across dozens of traffic exchange programs, until I got my first active downline in MaxTrafficPro. Over 90% of my downline in traffic exchange that I belong to are either banned or inactive but it only takes a few individuals to get those commission going. They are out there and if you believe in yourself that you will find them, trust me you will find them.

The formula for creating monthly commissions from traffic exchange is simple:

-Choose a solid program with a good honest hardworking owner

-Promote a fast loading high converting splashpage

-Advertise to as many sites as you can and as often as you can

-Give praises, applauses or reviews about the program in forums or blogs.

-Don't quit

The hard part is executing the formula.

Good luck.

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.

Is Pyrabang.com In Trouble ?

I received the follow messages from one of my Pyrabang associates and based on this email there are some concerns about Pyrabang.com

******** Email 1 *********

Think Twice on Pyrabang. Top sponsor gets bashed by CEO Chris Perillo a.k.a NEO

If not for Netmoney, Pyrabang would still be crawling. Can you believe it, CEO calls Top Sponsor a " F " Lunatic...

[NEO] 5:58 pm: but whatever val make whatever threats
[netmoney] 5:58 pm: Because I sure as heck don't want to be a part of a company in which I have done numerous
things to try and help build, that is accusing me of copyright infringement.
[NEO] 5:58 pm: no one owns me or tells me what to do
[netmoney] 5:58 pm: I don't make threats.
[netmoney] 5:58 pm: I just don't want to have to go to my lawyer with bs.
[netmoney] 5:59 pm: And I certainly dont have time for such nonsense.
[NEO] 5:59 pm: you're a *fuck* lunatic
[NEO] 5:59 pm: seriously look at you'
[NEO] 5:59 pm: i was completely calm

Here's another email I received regarding to Pyrabang.com.

******** Email 2 ******************

For 14 months pyrabang has been online. Since our team all joined on Feb. 16th of 2009 and brought in more members in one month then what Chris Perillo could do in six months.

We we're are always able to get paid on the 7th in the A.M and in most cases at 12:01 on the 7th.

Well, today Chris Perillo took it upon himself to make member wait till 8:00 p.m. with no regards to it's memebers.

Matter of fact about noon today, he stated in chat that he forgot it was payday and it would take him a half hour to set up to pay.

Well, that half hour turned into many hours. Then Chris Perillo apparently thought he needed to do something drastic to try and save Pyrabang with a special email and to wait till 8:00 p.m. to send out it out before he paid members.

That's right. Try and save Pyrabang.

You see, many people have cancelled and or cancelling there membership with pyrabang. Those that have attempted to cancell there account had to call Chris Perillo to only be shout down to and stay a member. Therefore, they just cancelled the subscription.

You see, after Chris Perillo went off on Netmoney, the entire list of members got the word.

Now, with payday. Chris Perillo is trying to entice members with this 10% ploy of company profits to the gold members. Do the math. Comes down to about 3 cents based on 5,000 gold members.

Oh by the way. Chris Perillo has seized my account, refuses to pay my commissoins. Since my sponsor contacted me and I confronted Neo on his comments he has attempted to muzzle me for repeating the media of the CEO of Pyrabang.

Which Traffic Exchange Gives More Bonus Credits?

Today, I decided to surf two traffic exchange programs side by side for exactly one hour and see which one gives more credits bonuses. I didn't really care much about the banner and text ad impressions because I don't use them and I don't find them as effective as the credits.

Traffic Taxis ---> total pages surfed: 200 pages ---total bonus credits received:24

Tezak Traffic Power ---> total pages surfed 210---total bonus credits received:26

Keep in mind that I am an upgraded at Traffic Taxis and I'm a free member at Tezak Traffic Power but when I was a free member at Traffic Taxis, I received just as much bonus credits as an upgraded member and the same thing with TTP, when you upgrade the amount of bonus credits you receive while surfing is the same.

This non scientific test surprised me alot because I expected to earn more from TT because they give out more than what I received today.

Till next time.
