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

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.

Updates from 17SurfPro can now be found at the RPAssociatesUK.com blog. I'm waiting for payment and will post when I get it.
I started another blog: Ice Princess's Recipes. I like to cook and bake, so the blog is a collection of all the recipes I like. Stop by and check it out.
Since google's pagerank drop, my blogs are in need of more traffic, so that is where I am going to focus my attention for the next week. Will post any useful tips I find.

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

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

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.

my new man

My new son arrived this past Saturday. I woke up around 5:30 from a dream where my water had broken and discovered it really had broken. 9 hours later he was born just under 7 lbs. So far so good. He's a very cute little man. Am very relieved he came on his own and I didn't have to have an induction. Am also glad he made it to full term.
Am looking forward to having the next couple of months off from work. Hopefully I can concentrate on making some extra money as 6 weeks of my time off will be unpaid. Will be reupgrading at 17SurfPro as that seems to be the only autosurf worth putting money in at the moment.

update 11/29/07

Just a quick update. I have a week at the most left before #2 arrives. I am scheduled for an induction next Thursday due to the gestational diabetes I have. Monday I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced, so I'm hoping he shows up before then. From what I've read, inductions are rough. Will just be glad to get him here safely.

There doesn't appear to be any autosurfs worth joining at the moment other than 17SurfPro which just turned 1 year old. A big accomplishment for an autosurf.

PSTraffic is closing until after the holidays when it will be restarting. They've also issued refunds, which I received.

Easy2earn is still a safe bet. All it takes is $1.00 of egold and promotion. No scam admin to deal with and yes you do get paid. I have been paid several times.

I'm also still doing well with Smorty & have even received a few offers from Blogsvertise.
Apparently Google has been targeting paid blog posts done for PayPerPost and are reducing blog page ranks, so careful adding paid blog tags to posts and adding PayPerPost tags on posts for "hire me" or "review me".

CashCrate, 17SurfPro, AssociatedSurf

Received first payment from CashCrate. In order to be paid, you do need to supply them with a valid phone number. A computer then calls you with a verification code.

17SurfPro appears to be getting back on its feet:

Hi Everyone!


Good progress is being made on clearing the backlog of pending payments. As I write this the oldest pending payment has been cut to only 5 days so we are well on target to being back on track by the end of the month.


Once the pending payments are back on track I will get to work on the commission payments.


And a reminder: The last opportunity for compounding pending payments will be on Friday 5 October. Many thanks to all those members who have been compounding their pending payments, this has help to get us back on track by easing the immediate pressure on the cashflow.

Received a very fast payment from 17SurfPro and reupgraded.
The latest from PSTraffic:

As I mentioned in on of my latest updates PS-Traffic is moving up in the monitors. PS-Traffic is about to move up again and take the #4 spot in ASA monitor based on votes.
I do not mind one bit processing FAST payments, especially from 12am-7am server time, as long as members continue to promote, support, vote and post in forums.


I have dedicated myself for over 8 months now paying FAST on a daily basis while other programs have come and gone(even the big ones). Program issues have been contained as quickly as possible with no excuses- so quick that most members probably never knew there were issues.


I have proven to be a dedicated and serious admin when it comes to running PS-Traffic at the same time I have kept an open mind and helped members with other issues. Although I don't post as much as I normally did in the past due to membership growth, I have always sent updates on a daily basis. I try to post as much as time permits in MMG and ASA forum. Other members and our moderator 'twenty24four' have been posting my updates in other forums. Thanks guys!!


Any pendings left over will be processed before I take my break. Keep posting and voting everyone!!

Enjoy :)


I also joined a new paid email site: EmailCashPro. I've tried joining several times before, but for some reason always had trouble. Well, I tried again and was successful.:) Looks like a good site. There are also a few freebies you get when you join. One is access to a Google Adsense course, which I've spent the afternoon working on. Has been pretty useful so far. The other is access to a bunch of free downloads: software you can resell, articles, ebooks you can edit and claim as yours and templates you can edit. It's all free and EmailCashPro is free to join, so it's worth a look.

Received payment from 17SurfPro and reupgraded.

Also received a suprise payment from Dr-surf.

The latest from TrickleDownCash isn't very reassuring:

I am sort of back!



I have a new computer now; I gave Dell such a hard time, that they had no choice in end, however

I am still having connection problems, so Andrea is still running the ship as it were until these are solved.



I expect many of you will have noticed, that there is something wrong with the front page of our site.

Basically we have been hacked overnight. Andrea and I will be discussing the best way forward, and will let you know.

Please do not surf, just in case it messes if up further, thanks.



Have a great day.

Trickle Down Cash

http://www.trickledowncash.net

Payments here are behind with the excuse Miriam's computer went down. Although Andrea is the one who supposedly does payments. Anyways, hold off on this one for the moment. It's been paying for around 3 years, so maybe they can straighten things out.

17SurfPro, TrickleDownCash

Not much new to offer other than 17SurfPro is updating their script. Apparently it's going well as no surf days have been missed. Some upgrade issues need to be worked out though.
TrickleDownCash has also improved its script. Surfing is much smoother now.
Nothing else new, so will cut this short. May not post again for a few days, unless I get motivated and find something new.

17SurfPro, PsTraffic, OneCentSurf

Received an extremely fast payment from 17SurfPro and reupgraded.

Looks like PsTraffic is issuing refunds to those not in profit who upgraded with egold. Why not just close further egold upgrades and pay upgrades as they expire? Not hard to figure out why.

Blogitive, 17SurfPro

Another payment received from Blogitive.

The latest from 17SurfPro:

Hi Everyone!


It's now 5 months since I acquired 17SurfPro and despite a few small bugs during the past week or so, I am pleased to report that everything is going well. The 'bugs' resulting from a recent security upgrade have been fixed and we should be back to normal service today with payments for expired upgrades being made within 24-36 hours, usually sooner during weekdays.


Please check your accounts and if you think you have any payments outstanding for expired upgrades made before (and including) 23 April let me know.


When I acquired 17SurfPro I said that I would let the program settle down before making any changes and currently I see no reasons to make any further changes apart from those already made (the addition of AlertPay, for example) and the following two modifications which have made today:


The maximum number of upgrade units is increased to 300 ($3,000). This is the result of requests from a few members who have reached the maximum.


The account inactivity period is reduced from 30 days to 17 days. This means that free members who do not login for 17 days have their accounts deleted. This will help keep the database free of redundant accounts.


Thanks for your continued support!

17SurfPro, Americanamails

The latest from 17SurfPro:

Hi Everyone!


Upgrades are working again and AlertPay has been added as an alternative payment processor.


During the last day or so some extra security updates have been added to the script and one of the side issues was that the upgrade process did not work for a short time. That has been fixed.


In response to several members asking for an alternative payment processor I have added AlertPay. I am still looking at other possibilities but as I already use AlertPay at Surf7Daily it was the most practical one to add. Both AlertPay and e-Gold upgrades can be made on the same account - you will be paid to the payment processor used to make the upgrade.


Currently I have no plans to stop using e-Gold, I still see this as the main payment processor for 17SurfPro.

17SurfPro, ClixSense

Payment received from 17SurfPro and will be reupgrading.

ClixSense update:

Paychecks
ClixSense.com members have earned over $61,000.00 and checks have been mailed! If you were due a payment, your monthly paycheck has been mailed. You will notice that the previous balance has been removed from your account. If you did not meet the payout level you specified, your account balance has been carried forward and remains in your ClixSense.com account.

Why Checks?
Some members ask why we will not make payments other than by check. The reason for check only payments is to combat fraud and guarantee our advertisers qaulity visitors. Using an online payment processor to pay your earnings simply allows dishonest individuals to open multiple accounts. Members who would have the opportunity to open multiple accounts would rob the advertisers of their advertising budget, as well as robs the "surfers" of clix and earnings that would be available had the multiple account persons not robbed them of it. While we understand that some still will not understand the reasoning behind this, just take a look at the other programs out there which have copied our business model and offering payments by e-processors. Most have already failed, and others are not far behind. ClixSense.com uses a sensible business model to insure our advertisers get what they pay for, and our surfers are paid their earnings.

Posting copies of your Paycheck on the web:
We understand that others want to see proof of your payment from ClixSense.com because they are skeptical of such a great program which rewards both advertisers and surfers alike. Feel free to post copies of your paycheck but we must require that you black out the bank account number (printed across bottom check) and company signature. There are those out there who misuse that information.

ClixSense.com is very excited about the great feedback we are receiving. Thanks for making us the number one advertising alternative!

Thank you,
ClixSense.com


I've been slacking off with ClixSense, but have now gotten back into and should receive payment next month. It is by far the best PTC site I've used so far. Free to join, free to earn, get paid at $10. The paid clicks add up really fast. Minimum clicks are a penny, but I've also seen ones up to 2, 4, and 5 cents.

17SurfPro, Swift-Hits, Blogitive

Received payment from 17SurfPro and reupgraded.
I'm now in pursuit of a new site to join. Stay tuned.

The maximum number of sites you can surf at Swift-Hits.net has been increased to 200.

Also received an email from PayPal that payment for 2 posts I did at Blogitive is on it's way. Not a bad site. They don't seem to have tons of offers though. So far it seems 2 per week is the average. They also require 2 posts in between each Blogitive post. Each of those posts needs at least 50 words and each blogitive post requires at least 100 words. Basically, they give you an advertisement and you put it into your own words. Really easy. They pay once a week. The posts I've done so far were $5 each. I don't know if any pay higher, or lower. Not a bad deal though.

17SurfPro

Very fast payment received from 17SurfPro and reupgraded. My portfolio is really dwindling. At the moment, I guess this is the only site I recommend. I even have a little e-gold & no place to put it.
