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.

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.

SolidTrustPay

Here's the latest from SolidTrustPay. They're now being blackmailed by some dirtbag.



Dear SolidTrust Pay Member,

This is a personal email from Marc and Stella, to you, our valued members. It has serious implications for a small percentage of you. It is, however, going out to our main membership to ensure it reaches all appropriate parties.

As many of you know, we have been harassed and attacked by individuals in Indonesia, Hungary and elsewhere. DDoS attackes and phishing emails leveled at us, lies, slander and accusations thrown around in forums. Yesterday we received a blackmail letter demanding $10,000 in EGold. (see partial copy below). We have NO intention whatsoever of giving in to this individual's demands. He has even used our personal names in phishing e-mail attempts from a fake gmail account supposedly from SolidTrust. We reported this to Gmail weeks ago, but received no response. He has had his gold currency accounts blocked, only to create new ones.

This individual is claiming to have accessed some accounts and acquired credit card information (numbers only...no C V V codes, as those are not stored) from some members. His threat is that if we do not pay the ransom, he will make that information available on various underground forums.

We are on a new, powerful server configuration, have strong anti-DDoS protection, 24/7 security monitoring and back office encryption measures. He is angry because he can't even get to the front door.

To stop him, here's how you can help us help you.

1) change your login password. This is always a good practice, so why not do it now.

2) if you have listed a credit card in your profile with a valid expiry date, contact your credit card company and ask them to monitor all future activity. You can even change your number if you wish. We have NOT heard of ANY issues....but it is better to be fore-warned and fore-armed! If the card you have listed shows an expired expiry date, you do not need to do anything, of course.

3) monitor your own account and immediately report any suspicious activity. Rest assured we are watching every transaction as well. Check any suspicious emails! We do NOT use gmail, hotmail or any other free account. SolidTrust emails will always originate from our domains or xplornet.com (our ISP).

We will be contacting VISA and MasterCard. We are required to report such activity.

We live in a criminal and unfortunate world. Those that work hard for the benefit of others often become the victims of attack. We fully expect this individual to lash at us again. We expect some members to be upset and angry. Do not be surprised to receive more phishing emails, or even emails containing personal information. Ignore them. All he can do is throw what little information he has around.

We will NOT give in to terrorism and acts of blackmail! SolidTrust Pay is more than a processor. It is a philosophy centred on caring customer support, put into practice every day. Many of you have shown strong support for us over the past while and we appreciate the words of encouragement sent our way.

Here is a section from the ransom e-mail. We ask that you read it and then ask yourselves...how would you respond? If he wants to post card numbers....he cannot be stopped. Even VISA itself was hacked in the past and millions of numbers stolen. If we were to pay his ransom, he would only come back for more. But if card numbers are monitored, companies made aware, and passwords changed, the information quickly becomes old and useless.

as always,

Marc and Stella Hiemstra and all the staff at SolidTrust Pay Inc.

*****************************************

"I believe Solidtrustpay.com user will make a lot of complain about your company.

So, the choice is your, pay me 10 K in e-gold, or let credit card member posted to internet.

Have nice day.

If you agree contact me by reply this e-mail . and I 'll send you my e-gold information.
I give you 24 hours from now...to reply this email.!!!"

Coupon Chief

I am a big online shopper. That's how I did the majority of my Christmas shopping. You can usually find better deals, no tax and/or free shipping. If you are going to shop online, you should check around for coupon codes. There are many sites devoted to listing coupon codes for online shopping sites. One coupon code site is Coupon Chief. Coupons are listed by store or by category. You can also search for a specific store's coupons. One nice feature of the site is it lists which offers were recently added.
A few of my favorite stores are Old Navy, Amazon.com, The Popcorn Factory and Walmart.

17SurfPro, SolidTrustPay

Here are a couple of updates I thought are worth posting:
First is from PsTraffic about SolidTrustPay:

Dear Members,

Yesterday, at 2:00pm EST the STPay site began to experience an unusual slow down Our tech team thought it was a server issue, so began to check resources and do updates. We re-installed and upgraded the main server areas, but the issue continued. At 3:00am EST our webhost determined that a massive DDOS attack was suspected and preventative measures brought to full readiness. At 2:00pm EST today the largest DDOS attack that our webhost (RackForce) has ever seen was launched against SolidTrust Pay. It began in Indonesia but is now centred out of Bucharest, Hungary. Via various proxy servers, attacks are coming from other areas most likely by a large network of interconnected computers. Our webhost has blocked all access to the site until the attack can be stopped. The attack is so huge that it has affected the Shaw cable main trunk line (an ISP provider serving all of Western Canada).

As soon as we have determined that the attacks are completely blocked, we will open up access to the site again. We are working around the clock with RackForce and Shaw Cable to bring this attack to an end. ALL member accounts are completely safe. We ask for your patience and understanding while we deal with this onslaught of hatred against us. All major companies come under such attacks....we have been fortunate in avoiding a DDOS thus far and this one will be severely dealt with.

Any merchants needing assistance or any members with questions are welcome to use the following email addresses for communication. We do ask that only truly necessary emails be sent. You are also welcome to pass this message along.

solidtrustpay@xplornet.com (xplornet is our ISP internet provider)
solidtrust@xplornet.com
support@solidtrust.info

Regards,

SolidTrust Pay Support"




Second is a 17SurfPro update:


Hi Everyone!

PLEASE READ – I set out to keep it brief but there was a lot to say!

It has always been my intention for 17SurfPro to be a long-term program, and that is still true today. The money paid into the program for upgrades has been used to ensure the long-term viability of the business. I see the current problem with making payments very much as a short-term issue and this is why I remain very confident about the future.

Compounding pending payments has helped to manage the situation but the time is coming when compounding would have served its purpose and so I plan to end the compounding offer on 31 January. There are a number of compounding requests from yesterday that have not been actioned yet – they will done today so please do not email me with a duplicate requests.

The top priority task of course is to bridge the gap between the short-term payment situation and the long-term by clearing the backlog of payments. I can understand that from your point of view as a member, and with the experience (that I also have had) of programs running into problems and everyone losing their money, that when a program has a problem that you are reluctant to upgrade any further. This reluctance has meant that during recent days the amount of new money coming into 17SurfPro has virtually come to a halt.

I obviously cannot expect you to put money into 17SurfPro unless I do so myself, and this is what I have been arranging to do. Because of my confidence in the future of 17SurfPro I am borrowing a substantial sum of money in order to get the program up and running again. The main funds from this will be available in about seven days time, although some smaller amounts will start arriving earlier. In fact some will be available later today and I will be able to make some payments. It is my intention to pay the oldest pending payments first.

To help get things moving even faster I am asking if you would consider the following offer which I make no pretence about – it is aimed at generating cash to help our short-term objectives of clearing the backlog of payments.

I reserve the right to withdraw this offer at anytime and it will be reviewed on a daily basis.

The offer is this:

Upgrade with new money – this means compounded earnings are not included - and depending on the value of the upgrade you will receive free upgrade units. The minimum value of upgrade to qualify is $100.

Upgrade between $100 and $240 and receive 1 free upgrade unit (value $10).

Upgrade between $250 and $490 and receive 2 free upgrade units (value $20)

Upgrade between $500 and $990 receive 3 free upgrade units (value ($30)

Upgrades of $1,000 or more receive 5 free upgrade units (value $50)

The free upgrades will be added on the day after the one that you paid for the upgrades and will be based on the total amount you paid that day. For example, if you upgrade by $100 using egold, $100 using AlertPay and $100 using SolidTrustPay in the same day, then the following day you will receive 2 free upgrades ($20) because you paid in $300 in total. There are no limits to the number of upgrades you can make, for example, if you upgrade by $100 every day then every day while the offer lasts you will receive one free upgrade unit.

If you are at the maximum upgrade level of $3570.00, or close to it, and would like to take advantage of this offer then please email me and I am sure we can find a solution that will suit you.

I realise that a minimum of $100 will be too large an amount for some members to consider but I am afraid that below this amount the scheme is not viable.

… and finally, during the past six weeks I have had to take my wife to hospital every day for radiotherapy treatment. This has taken on average about three hours (sometime more) out of my working day and has contributed towards the backlog of emails and other tasks. The good news is that she only has two more sessions, today and tomorrow, and so after the coming weekend I will have more time available to work both on 17SurfPro and on my other programs that generate income for 17SurfPro.com.

Sorry about the length of this ‘brief’ email but I thought it was important that you are up-to-date with the situation. Please consider the upgrade offer!

Best regards

Bob Peters
http://17SurfPro.com

17SurfPro has been paying for over a year, which is very rare for an autosurf, so I say support Bob.

ClixSense

I've been a free member of ClixSense for quite a while now. I've been paid several times, but it takes a while to reach the minimum payout of $10 if you are a free member. If you check in a couple of times a day, you reach the payout a little quicker. Since I'm in profit, I decided to upgrade to a premium member. That was a good idea. I have 506 ads to click on. It's going to take a while to get through all of those, but at least every time I log in I'll have ads to click on. The majority of ads are 1 cent but there were a few for 4, 3, and 2 cents. As a free member I've seen 5 and 10 cent ads. ClixSense is definitely worth the $10 membership fee, which is good for 1 year. If you actively click on the ads, you can make the $10 back in no time.

Cheaperthanhotels

Portugal is diverse , has a unique culture, with vibrant cities and spectacular scenery throughout the country. Although it was once one of the poorest countries in Western Europe, since the introduction of Democracy in 1974, and incorporation into the European Union in 1986, it has significantly increased it’s prosperity. It may be one of the best value destinations in Europe because the country offers outstanding landscape diversity, due to its North-South disposition along the western shore of the Iberian peninsula which is adjacent to Spain. In one day you can be in the green mountains of the North, with vines and all varieties of trees to the central rocky mountains, with spectacular slopes and waterfalls, to a near-desert and arid landscape of the Alentejo region and then to the vibrant beach vacation destination of Algarve. The climate, combined with investments in the tourism infrastructure in recent years, has also turned the country into a major haven. Golf is superb in Portugal. 14 of Portugal's golf courses are rated in the top 100 best in Europe. If you want a compact view of Europe, culture, landscape and way of life, Portugal might be the one.

ConstructionSkills - employment training

Making money online not working out? Looking for an offline job? How about the construction industry? There is a website based in the UK called ConstructionSkills which offers construction employment training.
Construction is the UK's biggest industry. There are 700 different types of jobs with around 2 million construction workers and there is always a demand for more workers.
For employers, taking on an apprentice helps benefit the business by developing new talent while still getting work done.
For a person with little experience, becoming an apprentice lets you earn while working and learning new skills.
An experienced person can prove and enhance their skills by gaining a qualification and CSS card through On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) or Experience Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA). By the way, you need a CSS card in order to work construction in the UK. If you don't have a card, many sites won't let you work. 2010 is the goal for the UK to have a fully qualified workforce, so no card, no work.
There are many different providers who offer construction related training. There is even a National Construction College.
If you are in the UK and looking for a new line of work, construction might be worth looking into.

17SurfPro, PsTraffic, Smorty, blogs

Hope everyone had a nice holiday & new year. Am glad it's over and am ready to start a fresh year.
Finally reupgraded at 17SurfPro and received payment. I'm not sure how much I'm going to get back into autosurf's this year. I'll probably keep an eye on them and join if one strikes me, but I'm mainly just going to stick with 17SurfPro and try to focus on my other blogs more, especially my parenting blog now that I have a new baby, who is doing very well. Cute & cuddly. Growing too fast already though.
PsTraffic has relaunched. I haven't checked it out yet though. Jamie issues refunds when the site dies, so I will most likely add joining to my to do list.
Paid blogging at Smorty is still going well. Offers slowed down over the holidays, but had a new offer last week, so hopefully that will start to pick up. Paid blogging is a really nice way to make a little extra money. I already have a nice little amount saved to put towards next year's christmas club.
The google pagerank drop seems to have affected all of my blogs except for my tech tips blog which has a pagerank of 2. Strange part is I haven't updated that one since November. The rest I post at more often. My blogs still show up in google search results though, so that's good. Guess being found is what's important.
I finished making a first pass of adding magazine back issues at my main site. Paypal add to cart buttons have been added, so if you see an issue you would like to order, just click the add button and the checkout will take you to paypal to send payment. I have back issues of TV Guide, Soap Opera Digest and Playgirl. I still have a lot more Soap Opera Digests and recent issues of TV Guide and Playgirl to add. Got a little bit behind the past two months.
I plan to post on one of my blogs each day, so feel free to check them out.
