Winnit.com Review

I was reading the 10/5/09 issue of Us Weekly and came across an interesting article with Nick Lachey. Apparently he is co-owner of a reverse auction website called Winnit.com. Users bid on high dollar items, such as ipods, computers, tvs, sports cars, vacations, etc. and the user with the lowest unique bid wins. The majority of items are selling for less than $2.00. Very cool! You sign up and automatically get $5.00 added to your account, so you can start bidding right away. Each time a bid is placed, a fee amount of $1 - $4 is deducted from your account balance. That kind of sucks, but I guess that's how the site makes money. After you place a bid, you can see right away whether your bid is the lowest unique bid for that item. If it is not the lowest unique bid, you are given a hint as to what the lowest unique bid amount is. You can also place a serial bid, which is a low and high bid. However, serial bids are charged an extra fee.
Each month, a portion of the proceeds are donated to charity. For September, the charity is Feeding America.
Winnit.com also has a referral program. You get $5.00 for every person you refer.
Winnit.com is a very new site. It was just launched September 16, 2009. It's totally legit, so sign up, get your free $5.00 and start bidding at Winnit.com.

Making Money Online

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last posted here. I haven't abandoned my blog, just been busy with work, kids and my other sites.
I have autosurfed since 17SurfPro went down. I've looked into joining new sites every now and then, but nothing has struck my eye. They also seem to use payment processors other than e-gold, which is where I have a few spare cents.
I am still an upgraded member of ClixSense. I have received several payments over the past year and will be due for another one soon.
After 2 years I finally earned $100 for my first Google AdSense payment.
I finally signed up for LinkShare.comlast week. Lots of good affiliate programs to sign up for there.
Selling my magazine back issues has been going quite well and selling coupons on ebay helps pay for diapers.
I took alot of time off last year from making money online, so this year I'm going to try and focus on it more. Stay tuned.

Magazine Back Issues

I just want to mention, if you are looking for tv guide back issues, soap opera digest back issues or playgirl back issues, I have moved my listings from my main site at http://extracash.110mb.com to their own site at http://magazine-back-issues.110mb.com.

I've been keeping busy adding posts to my other blogs.

and trying to get more traffic. That's a definite pain in the butt. The majority of my traffic comes from the search engines, mainly google. All of my blogs get visitors everyday, so that's good. I just need to increase the number of those visitors. The big key is SEO - search engine optimization. My new strategy is to write for the search engines and not so much for the readers, so pick a keyword and use that for the post title, anchor text and use it a bit more than you normally would in your post. Instead of saying it, say keyword. The hardest part is picking the right keyword to use. One free tool which is helpful is GTrends Tool from Wordtracker. You enter a keyword and the tool shows you the number of times that keyword is searched for in, I think, a 100 day period.If I'm wrong, please correct me.
GTrends also lists alternate keyword search terms. At the end of each search term is a graph. Click on the graph and you are taken to a page which shows the number of google competitors and the number of visitors the #1 site in google gets per day for that keyword. Pretty interesting. The key is to find a keyword with lots of searches, but little competition.
Other than that I'm still waiting on payment from 17SurfPro. That's the only autosurf I am in at the moment. Just haven't made time to look into joining any other sites.



How to Make Money on the Internet

Mac Poker Online

Online gambling is pretty popular these days. I didn't realize this, but players who prefer Macintosh's over PC's are constrained by the sites they can play at. Here's a site which lists recommeded online poker and casino sites for Mac poker players. It looks like a very well put together, informative website. Tons of information. Not only does it rate online poker sites, but it gives information on how to play poker and poker strategy tips.
There are also articles discussing whether online poker is legal and information on making sure your computer has spyware and adware. There is a discussion on the differences between the two and recommended free applications.
Other resources on the site include a list of sites you can use to deposit money in order to start playing online poker, since PayPal doesn't allow you to use them for online poker playing. It is a pretty comprehensive list.
If you play at online casinos, you might want to take a look at the online casino bonuses page. There is a list of online casinos, the bonus amount, percentage, refer a friend amount, code/link and site review.
Another nice feature of the Mac Poker website is it gives a list of all the upcoming poker tournaments online right now. You can search through the tournaments, customize the search criteria, find what you want and start playing.
The site offers a free Mac Poker newsletter which offers news, tips and tricks about Mac Poker.
Mac Poker Online is definitely a site worth checking out if you are a Mac user who enjoys online poker and online casinos.

Driving in Australia

Taking a trip to Australia?
If you are, the most important thing to remember should you decide to go "off Road" (off a sealed road) in the Outback is to seek local advice on your intended route as well as ensuring someone locally knows of your travel plans. If your vehicle does break down in a remote area stay with it do not attempt to walk. Generally people who stay with their vehicles are located quickly and easily.

Please note, that some rental suppliers do have conditions that limit the operation of their vehicles in the outback. Should you plan to go off road we suggest that you discuss your intended route with the rental company beforehand.

It is a legal requirement that any gates opened to allow your vehicle to pass through are closed afterwards.

Any travel across designated Aboriginal Land will require permission from the owners beforehand. As the permit process varies from state to state (and can take up to six weeks to obtain). It is best to contact the national parks’ controlling body in each state prior to your journey.

Information on key places to stay while in Australia include:

Hotels in Australia

Gold Coast Hotels

Noosa Hotels

Cairns Hotels

Sydney Accommodation

Triple Your List

I've been a member of Triple Your List for quite some time now and it is the best downline building site I have found so far. The way it works is you sign up and your email address gets added to the list. Then at least once a week you get 3 email addresses of people who have joined the site. The email addresses you can use to build your own list. As they say, the money is in the list.

Here's a write up promo from the site:

Are you willing to spend 3 minutes of your time
to sign-up for a system that is going to provide
you with opt-in email leads for FREE?!?

If not, just stop reading now, because I don't
want to waste your time or mine.

I only want to contact serious internet marketers
about this amazingly simple new system.

Triple Your List is not a mailing system or a
safelist. These leads will actually be emailed
to you as they come through the system.

Simply put, each member will cycle through the line.
When you are at the top, you will be emailed the
next three opt-in leads that come in through the system.
Once you have your leads, you will have the opportunity
to cycle back through to collect another three leads.

The concept is so simple, yet so valuable to an
internet marketer like yourself.

This is your chance to actually get your hands on
solid email leads. These will be leads that you can use
again and again without having to spend a dime!

That's right, this is a 100% free program.

Grab your spot in line now, so you can cycle through
again and again. The quicker you get in now, the quicker
you will cycle!

Remember, every cycle gets you 3 opt-in email leads, and
you could potentially cycle hundreds of times a week!

17SurfPro

The latest from 17SurfPro:


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have spent some time over the weekend reviewing the payment situation on 17SurfPro and I am currently putting together a new plan aimed at paying everyone as soon as possible. This, of course, has always been my intention and remains so. I will be able to give details of this later in the week.

In the meantime, I have put in place a strict rule about how payments are being made:

Payments will be made in strict order, the oldest pending payment being made first.

This may not appear to be a significant change but in the past when members have asked me to make their payments early because of special circumstances I have usually done so. With the current backlog I am receiving a growing number of requests for members to jump the payment queue and this is making the process difficult to manage fairly - for example, who should I pay early and who should have to wait? It is also very unfair for those members who are waiting patiently for the their turn to be be paid. I am also receiving complaints that some members have been paid ahead of others who are waiting. The only fair solution is to pay everyone in turn, oldest pending payment first.

For those members who have reached the maximum upgrade level and who compound back to the maximum and receive the profit (I have been doing this to help reduce payment processor fees) I will continue to do this if requested, although the payment will be placed in the pending payments queue and paid in turn. Again, this seems to me to be the fairest way to manage this.

Members with money in ‘Other Cash’ can request a withdrawal using the procedure on the site. The payment will then join the queue and be paid in turn.

You can monitor the oldest pending payments on the Advanced Statoistics page on the site which can be found at:

http://www.17surfpro.com/new/AdvancedStats.php

Please note: I will not be answering emails about when payments will be made so please do not waste your time asking. Payments are being made as quickly as possible.

Also please check the blog regularly for updates.
