The Ultimate Surf, Dolphin, LSG

Payment received from The Ultimate Surf. I re-upgraded for another cycle. Upgrades here are only $1, so after this cycle I may reupgrade with a very small amount for another cycle and then I'm getting out. My plan: no more upgrading until the site dies, get out while you're still ahead.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the new site from Drunkonlife.

I'm really excited! I checked out Dolphin's blog this morning & boy was I surprised to see a link to my blog. Then I went over to Technorati to see if anyone else was linking to me and LSG is also linking to me. Wow! I can't believe it! They are good bloggers with good info, so I'm really excited they are linking to me. A big THANK YOU to you guys! It's good to know I have readers & I'm not just writing to myself.:)

My Random Downline

Yup, the new site from Leo at Drunkonlife is in prelaunch. He's right, it is a site with a different concept. Not sure how it will work out, but I'll give it a try. Here's some info from the front page:

The lowest cost advertising opportunity on the internet!
Every banner ad in the Net Profits Group network of sites contains a random referral link!
Choose 5 referral links to add into the database. Change these links as often as you want!
Choose affiliate marketing sites such as Clickbank, Paid to Surf's, HYIP's, or network marketing sites as one of your top five links!
Awesome affiliate program that pays out each and every month!
Unlimited potential - The bigger the network grows equates to more page views. More page views equates to more ads seen. More ads seen means money in your pocket!
Monthly contests and cash prizes!

One thing we know, the launch will happen, unlike MoneyMakerDownline. That site has been in prelaunch way too long. Members area says launch will be January 2. That date has come & gone with no word. Good thing I never upgraded.

VivaSurf.us, SolidTrust, Computer-Traffic

Payment received from VivaSurf.us. I reupgraded, but this may be my last cycle. I think I've been staying with a site & reupgrading for too long, that's why I'm losing too much. From now on, I'm only going to stay with a site for a couple of cycles, depending on the terms, and then I'm getting out. I do have a couple low ROI I'm going to stay with for a while. These high ROI sites though, I'm going in & getting out fast and I'm not joining anymore sites with a 50/50 rule. No more site loyalty. Loyalty doesn't get you too far in autosurfing. Look at Dave Cannard, touted as the most honest admin. All of a sudden he closes up shop. No refunds, nothing. Not even a word about the upgrades he took in the day before he closed shop. Yeah, he was real honest.

Solid Trust sites are switching servers, so if you try to access them & they don't load, that is why.

A new site I joined, but haven't upgraded in yet is Computer-Traffic. It's a brand new site run by the admin of MyCowboySurf and his son. 4%, 40 days, upgrades are $5, cashout weekly, no 50/50 rule. I think I will be upgrading as soon as I get some egold in my account. This site is recommended by Surf Bloodhound so it should be a good one.

XLO, SiteEnhancements, Drunk

It's official, XLO has been sold to Bob Krimm's TriStarMedia group and will reopen in a couple weeks. Bob is a big fan of the 50/50 rule, so that will probably be implemented. Instant payments, I doubt it. At the moment I don't have any egold to comply with the 50/50 rule. I may just cut my losses but we'll have to see how badly Bob changes the terms.

Payment received from Site Enhancements. This is a good site so far. Terms have changed concerning the bronze plan. Minimum upgrade was .25, but has now been changed to $2. For the better I think.

Leo at Drunkonlife will be announcing his new site this week, so stay tuned for that announcement.

XLO, TreasureTrooper

I guess the big news is XLO may be sold to TriStarMedia. Not sure this is the best of news. Bob already has a couple of surf sites along with a payment processor. Maybe he's trying to put a monopoly on the surf industry. Face it, no surf site lasts very long. XLO was one of the rare ones which lasted a little over a year. If Bob has this whole network of sites, when they go down, then what. It'll have a ripple effect on other surf sites, bringing them down. I will give Bob credit though. His sites have been around a while & he's still paying. Too late in the game for me to jump into any of them though. I prefer to just stay out, maybe I'm missing out, but I prefer to play it safe.

Just joined Treasure Trooper in the hopes of making some extra money. It's a site similar to Inbox Dollars. I suggest creating a separate email if you decide to join. Filling out offers tends to lead to a lot of spam.

John at planet, 10 Dollars Wonder Matrix

John at 9planet will be launching his hyip near the end of this month or early next month. Stay tuned for the announcement. I'll definitely be jumping into it. This is a good honest guy, so it'll be worth a shot. John makes his living working online, so he knows his stuff.

Here's a link to a hot new matrix. $10 to join, nothing more to pay ever. This matrix gives you the potential to turn $10 into $2 million. It's free to join if you just want to check it out. Looks cool & it's only $10, so why not give it a try.

$250 FREE

If you are interested in earning an easy $250, check out this site. All you need is 1 credit and 7 friends. Pretty easy. No surfing, no scam admins. Check it out.

BigDaddySurf, TrafficSwarm, ProjectPayday, InboxDollars, EzSurf-n-Earn, TrickleDownCash

BigDaddySurf is changing terms to 2% for 80 days. If you have a pending payment, for the month of January, you can send Nate a contact request to move the pending payment to your cash balance, which you can then use to purchase a new upgrade. I've had a pending for a while, so that's what I'm going to do. I give Nate a lot of credit. He's hanging in there & trying to make things work. He's not closing up shop & running.

I'm a member of TrafficSwarm, so I receive advertising emails, which I usually delete without reading. Well, got one today & for some reason I decided to read it. Actually was quite useful. Check out this site if interested. It does have an affiliate program, but I need to get a tax ID other than my SSN. When you sign up, you do have to sign up for an offer. The one I signed up for was around $3. Supposedly you will be refunded, if you send in a contact. Read the fine print though, you may need to cancel after a certain number of days. If you don't, you will be billed monthly. This site had some useful info on how to make money online, outside of the scam autosurfs/hyip. Part of what they talk about, I've used Inbox Dollars to do. It did work and they did pay me. I probably made a couple hundred doing it last year. Anyway, this site has lots of good ideas and info.

EzSurf-N-Earn will be giving all members 1500 free credits. They are also going to start posting updates using the sites news link rather than sending emails.

TrickleDownCash has a birthday club, which I joined. My bday is coming up. Today I received an email for 1000 free banner impressions as my bday gift. Cool.:)

XLO, BlueHeavenMails, Fairpatton, Surf2Prosperity

Well, the big news for today is XLO is closing for the month of January so Andy can focus on his hyip, which is closing. He's calling this putting the site into "holiday mode". XLO has been running for over a year and Andy has developed a reputation as being a good, honest admin. He didn't just disappear like Dave Cannard or Bo Anderson, so I guess the only thing to do is wait & see what happens at the end of January before passing judgement.

At least Andy is not like the admin of BlueHeavenMails. This was a site doing really good and was on my list of possible sites to upgrade in. All of a sudden the site disappeared. According to Jude's NoBS blog members received a taunting, catch me if you can email. Read it here. People like that, I honestly don't know how they can sleep at night.

Surf Bloodhound has a good post about John at Fairpatton and Lee at Surf2Prosperity. When I first started surfing, I turned to Fairpatton for info. Alot of sites I joined on his recommendation, most of those sites turned scam or closed. He highly recommends Surf2Prosperity. I have about $40 pending, alot for me. It's been pending for months and months. I don't really have much hope I'll ever get it. I've tried contacting Lee through the site, but no answer and I haven't dug around to find an email address. Why does John keep promoting Surf2Prosperity, a non paying site, except for maybe a few select members? Surf Bloodhound thinks John and Lee are the same person. It's a possibility. I suggest staying away from both of them.

Leo of Drunkonlife will be having a prelaunch sometime next week for some sort of site he has put together. He's not saying what it is other than it's not a surf/hyip site. It will have an affiliate program, so stay tuned for his announcement.

John at 9planet is also considering putting together a ponzi hyip. I may get in on that one for a round or two if he decides to launch it.

Surf7Daily

Ok. I've made my decision on which new autosurf site to upgrade in.
Surf7Daily. I've been a member of this site for quite some time, but have never upgraded or done anything with my account. This site has been in operation for over a year, consistently paying monthly. Upgrades are .70, 3% for 49 days, surf 49 sites. You do need to have a cash balance of $20 in order to cash out, but once a month compounding is available. The admin runs one other surf site & some other online sites. Definitely a trustworthy admin and a site worth trying. One thing to note, upgrades for egold are added manually, so allow up to 24 hours for your upgrade to show in your account. My upgrade was added very fast.

VivaSurf.us, SolidTrust

First payment received from VivaSurf.us. Very fast too. This is a site which is coming back from the dead. Payments are being made on old pendings and new pendings. 14% for 10 days, $1 per upgrade, no 50/50 rule. There is a 4% fee on cashouts though. I'll probably stick with this one for another cycle or two.

January 1st is Surn n Earn day at Solid Trust. The admin, Marc & Stella, invest funds in the stock market, so it's funded with real money, rather than being a ponzi. However returns per month are low. They expect this month to be around 10%. It's a real opportunity if you are willing to take it slow. It's certainly going to be a while before I earn my $5 back.

Still haven't decided on which new site to join. I'm still doing some research. I'll make my decision sometime this week.

Surf2Prosperity

If you are looking for the admin of Surf2Prosperity, he will be gone until January 2. I've been waiting for payout on this one for a very long time. Upgrades are $1, so I may throw in $1 every now & then as I think Lee only pays members who support the site. I may also send him an email before too long.

EzSurf-n-Earn, Instant Buzz, The List Machine

Received last pending payment from old EzSurf-n-Earn. I'm contemplating upgrading in the new EzSurf-N-Earn. I'm not too thrilled with the 50/50 rule it has, so I'm probably going to pass on it.

Apparently BlueHeavenMails has turned out to be a scam. I'm looking for a new site & this is one I was considering. I tried to signup today, but the site is gone. Paipal just sent an email confirming why it is gone. That's why I'm so leary of joining new sites. You never know when it's going to just disappear, even if it's been paying for a while.

Another instantaneous payment received from XLO. Kudos to the admin, Andy. Site has been running a little over a year with no payout problems. Let's hope it keeps going for a long time.

I will be joining another surf site in a day or two. I just have to decide which one. Stay tuned for my pick.
