Better Text Ads, Dan Moran, Extra Cash

It seems that when I signed up for BetterTextAds, I ended up on this guys mailing list. He has a blog which seems like it may be a useful resource for moneymaking info. Check it out if you want. Latest info talks about ebay & classified ads.

Other than that, not much else new. Been trying to work on my website. I think it will be a neverending project.:)

Martin, 12by12Daily, The Ultimate Surf, 9PlanetNoSurf, Peter Pan

Got a strange message, from Martin of the old 12by12daily forum. Long message, gist of which is he put together a forum to reunite old members of the 12by12daily forum. Also sent a link to his online moneymaking opportunity site. I think that was why he sent the email in the first place. He's building his downline using members of the old forum. I might sign up, just to see what he has to offer.

The Ultimate Surf is still behind in payments. Nick is still optimistic it is just a delay.

9PlanetNoSurf is doing extremely well. If you're looking for a reliable site. This one is it.

If you like to eat peanut butter, as I do, better check your cupboards. If you have Peter Pan with a number on the lid starting with 2111, save the lid, toss the jar. It may be contaminated with salmonella. I just bought a jar about 2 weeks ago. Opened it maybe a week ago. Last Sunday, I had stomach problems but just thought it was a stomach bug. Wednesday night I woke up with severe stomach pains. I ended up vomiting. The next day I read about the Peter Pan recall. Every night I eat a cracker with pickled garlic & peanut butter. I can't say for sure my jar of peanut butter was contaminated, but the lid number did start with 2111. I don't usually have stomach problems either. Just a bit of a coincidence. Needless to say, I'm not eating anymore. Here's a link to the press release.

BigDaddySurf, DanishAmericanSurf, TrickleDownCash, ClickBank, 9PlanetNoSurf

Admin of BigDaddySurf has opened a new site at www.my2daily.com. "It is 2% for 70 days, Instant Payout at $0.10 for Upgraded Advertisers, and $2 for Free Supporters.
3% referral commissions." Currently in prelaunch until Saturday. Refunds or payouts at BigDaddySurf depend on how the launch of this site goes. I won't be joining until I get something from BigDaddySurf.

Admin of DanishAmericanSurf sent an update saying she is out of the hospital and will begin payments ASAP. I received payment from Old DAS, but am still waiting for one from new DAS. Would be a nice surprise to get it.

TrickleDownCash's blog has a list of new various moneymaking opportunities. I still have to check them out, but one involving clickbank sounds interesting. Admin hopes to "have a series of money making sites built around Trickle Down Cash". Basically hopes to have a non-ponzi site. Sounds good.
Ok. Checked this one out. Seems cool, good way to get a downline & earn through clickbank at the same time, all for free.

9PlanetNoSurf is doing very well. Get in now if you're not already.

9PlanetNoSurf, YouGov, My View

Big news of the day, besides the 3 ft+ of snow we are getting today, is 9PlanetNoSurf has officially launched. Good site, good admin. Probably the most trustworthy site to get into at the moment. Apparently site is off to a great start, which is not surprising. Oh, if I only had some e-gold.

Just joined a new survey site:
YouGov on the recommendation of Many A Mickle site. Automatic $2 on signup, payment when balance is $50. Surveys are short, around 10 minutes. We'll give it a shot & see. Strange I couldn't find a referral link in my account area though.
Surveys can be a pain in the butt, but I have made some extra money doing them. One time I tested baby lotion for Johnson & Johnson and was paid $10. Another product I tested, I was paid $50. Not sure how I got on those lists. I like MyView though. Quite frequently they send out magazine surveys which take about 15 minutes & you get $1. They pay directly into your paypal account. Not much I know, but it's something.

Day Job Killer, Davidsurf, No Surf

Here's a link to a hot new e-book everyone seems to be talking about these days. Was going to promote it the other day, but couldn't find it at clickbank. Strange, found it there today with no problem. Oh well. Apparently it contains useful marketing info which can be used in affiliate programs such as amazon, ebay, etc. It's from the same author as Affiliate Project X, which was also a very hot selling item.

Check out this post and avoid the site mentioned. Admin is either a good impersonator or really is Dave because that site has Dave written all over it. Can't imagine he'd have the nerve to open another site after stealing so much from everyone at his old sites. The allure of a quick buck though, scammers never quit.

Stay tuned for the launch of John at 9planet's no surf site. It's coming very soon!

TrickleDownCash, EzSurf-n-Earn, The Ultimate Surf, Surf Warrior, TopGunTraffic

Upgrades at the old TrickleDownCash have been turned off. Payments will be made as upgrades expire, even if payout is less than $15. The new TrickleDownCash has launched & is ready for upgrades.

Check out this link for a poll as to what the admins of EzSurf-n-Earn should do.

Apparently The Ultimate Surf is behind in payouts due to money being tied up with an investor. Nick says not too worry, it is just a delay. Either way, I'm out of this one due to my new strategy to not linger in one site for too long.
I decided to join SurfWarrior and TopGunTraffic with min upgrades. SurfWarrior is a new site opened by the former admin of the Gladiator Surf sites, 13% for 9 days, min upgrade of $5. TopGunTraffic is 13% - 15% for 10 days, min upgrade of $1. The longer you stay in this one, the higher the daily ROI gets. Interesting, but high risk.

If you're into green tea, check out this site for a free sample. Green tea is rich in antioxidants & even helps in weight loss. 4 -5 cups per day is a good amount.

My Random Downline, Amazon

Yaaaay, My Random Downline, Every Man's Monitor and the Net Profits Group Forum are now back online! I'm not much of a forum poster & don't really check them out much, maybe because I just don't have the time, but I've been keeping up with this forum. When it was offline, I actually started to miss it. It has a comfortable atmosphere & a lot of well known names, so check it out if you haven't already. Don't forget you can advertise at the forum using My Random Downline. It's really cheap advertising, $6 for 30 days. You can make that back too. You get paid $1 for every upgraded referral.

Last night I was poking around Amazon & discovered they now sell groceries. I was really surprised. It's a pretty good idea. They sell more than 18,000 non perishable items: boxed food, laundry detergent, dish detergent, hair products, tea, coffee etc. Free shipping directly to your door. Very cool. Everything comes in bulk, but the prices seem really reasonable. Pantene shampoo is actually cheaper than at Walmart. I may actually do a lot of shopping here. I guess someday we'll never have to leave the house. Is that a good thing?

BigDaddySurf, EzSurf-n-Earn etc, TrickleDownCash, NetProfitsGroup

Not good news for BigDaddySurf. He's thinking of consolidating all of his sites into 1 new site and issuing refunds. Not a definite, but it's what Nate is thinking about doing right now. Discussions are currently being held here.

Admin of EzSurf-n-Earn, Wicked Hits and Dimension Ads have started a new very low ROI site here. 1% for 180 days
1% referral commissions, cashout will be open the 10th, 20th , and 30th of each month. This is a brand new, totally separate site from the other sites. They are still working on getting money for payouts at EZ & WH. No mention of Dimension payouts though. I joined all 4, but I'm still owed at 1 of them, maybe 2.
Here are a few sites admin recommends. Note: these are referral links of admin, not mine:
http://www.buenosairessurf.com/?ref=85
http://www.cepcoast.com/index.php?ref=1269
http://www.affiliatepower.biz/?ref=219
http://www.weekly-traffic.com/?ref=112
http://www.desertskymarketing.net/?ref=3721
http://www.sometraffic4u.info/?ref=131
http://www.commandbravo.com/?ref=3207
http://www.egoldprofitshare.com/?ref=193


The new TrickleDownCash has now launched. Seems to be pretty much the same as the old one, as far as terms & ROI.

The NetProfitsGroup trio of sites are still down. Hopefully they will be back up soon.

Was checking out ClickBank today. I created an account quite a while ago, but never did anything with it. I didn't realize they had such a wide array of products. Some of them look really cool. This one is similar to a book I bought at Amazon. The recipes in the book I bought are really good & they really do taste like the real thing. I was surprised. Some of them take a little while to make though, but maybe I just move too slow.lol

TrickleDownCash, My Random Downline, headlines

Latest update from TrickleDownCash says payments have been completed. This is a pretty good site. Check it out if you're looking for something new.

Well, the hackers have hit the netprofitsgroup sites. All 3 sites are currently offline and should be back online sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. Upgrades at My Random Downline will be extended by the amount of time the site is offline. Apparently someone doesn't like sites run by honest admin. I look forward to the sites return, especially the monitor site as I'm trying to choose a new site to join. Have found a couple I'm considering, but still undecided.

Upstate NY is making the headlines due to all the snow we are getting. I'm south east of the major pile up, but we did get about 6 inches today, with another 4 or so due tonight. It's days like this that make me glad I work at home.
Speaking of headlines, Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscious in her hotel room in Florida & has apparently died. Wow that's a shock. She just had a baby, days later her son died, she's been involved in tons of lawsuits since then. I feel bad for her poor daughter. I'll have to check out Nancy Grace tonight for the full scoop.

The Ultimate Surf, Treasure Trooper

Woohoo, just got fresh egold thanks to a payment from The Ultimate Surf. The minimum upgrade here has been changed to $5, so I'm not sure if I'm going back in. Gonna take a look at Every Man's Monitor & see what site's are out there. Note: The Ultimate Surf is doing fine, just part of my new strategy, don't linger in any one site for too long.

So I signed up for Treasure Trooper not too long ago. Payouts are done monthly by check for accounts with a minimum of $20. There are a ton of paid to signup offers, tons of free ones. According to the forum, there is a trick to getting credited for all the free offers. I guess I haven't figured out the trick yet, because I haven't gotten credited for any of them, except for the survey sites. Last night I moved on from those & tried one of the trial offers, stamps.com. I've signed up for a trial from stamps.com before through Inbox Dollars. It's a really cool site. You download software & can print out free stamps or shipping labels. They were giving away free scales. It wasn't clear whether they still were. Anyways, I signed up, but still have to download the software, 21mb. Soon after I signed up, my Treasure Trooper account was credited $15. I now have a balance of $21. Very cool. Look forward to getting a check next month. Now I just have to remember to cancel my stamps.com trial sometime within the next 4 weeks.

TrickleDownCash, Surf7Daily, 9planetNOsurf

TrickleDownCash is currently doing payouts to those with an account balance of at least $15. Admin is going through every account & checking them before payment, so payouts are taking longer. I'm not expecting payment until next month since I'm a fairly new member.

Update from Surf7Daily says all payments for January have been made. Payments for February will begin March 1. No payment for me here either until next month, minimum balance of at least $20 is required.

The hyip John at 9planet is launching, will be opening February 15th at the latest. Stay tuned for the announcement or sign up here to be alerted when it is ready. John is an entertaining blogger, so this will be a good site to get into.

Bob, Ads Mania, BigDaddySurf, Lee, My Random Downline

So Bob bought XLO for $25,000. Wow, I had no idea sites sell for that much. That's serious cash. If you believe him, sounds like everyone got scammed. Dolphin's got the whole post. Bob's still having his programmer get final figures, so we'll see what develops. I'm cutting my losses & moving on.

I suggest avoiding the newly opened Ads Mania site by the admin of Manic Ads. Despite the hype of Manic Ads, I never joined. That suddenly closed & admin turned right around & opened a new site. I did join the new site just to check it out, but won't be upgrading. Just have a feeling site should be avoided.

Payouts at BigDaddySurf will resume around February 15. Apparently admin is making money for a change. Well, that's good news. Nate's one of the few honest admins who really tries.

Lee of Surf2Prosperity has a big rant on the homepage of fairpatton, even includes links to photos. All I'm going to say is he is definitely a strange bird & I don't believe anything he says.

This is a cool development in the my random downline sites opened by drunkonlife & his partner. They are thinking about offering free web hosting in exchange for advertising banners. At the moment I'm comfortable with my hosts. My blogs are free at blogger.com, which I like because they are linked into google's blog search. My main site is free at freehostia.com. No problems so far. If I ever get a lot of traffic though, I may have to switch.
One thing I have to do is look into making some banners for my blogs & a new one for my main site which I also need to work on. Time... just goes too fast.

Every Man's Monitor, 9planetNosurf.com, Tax info

The monitor site which is part of the my random downline lineup is now up and running. Looks like it will be useful & should be a monitor site which can be trusted. Only members upgraded in My Random Downline will be able to vote. It will be read only for everyone else. The monitor site has 4 sections, surf sites, hyip, network marketing & blogs. Check out this link for more info. Don't forget to check out the forum too. Membership in My Random Downline is $6 for 30 days. Extremely cheap advertising, so check it out if you haven't already.

Check out John at 9planet's blog for info on the hyip he will be launching soon. Several different plans, sounds interesting. Should be a good site with a good admin.

Drunk has a scary post. Remember back when surf sites had the brilliant idea to start requiring members to submit tax info in order to get paid. A bunch of sites did that, the network, alien trust, alertpaypro was going to, don't remember any of the other ones. Anyways, those sites are all closed now. I never fell for it, but some people did and now a former member of alien trust has received a 1099 for money he never received, $50,000 which equates to a tax payment of $18,000. Unbelievable. I never submitted tax info because I was afraid of identity theft. I had thought about getting a separate tax id for a business, but I never did. Good thing. I never thought about the possibility of getting billed for money never received. Just the other day I was thinking to myself, I wonder what happened to all that paperwork people were "required" to submit. Guess we know what Vince is doing with the paperwork he received. I guess scammers just never give up.

Site-Seer, E-gold, Iwon, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Tried logging into SiteSeer just to do some free surfing & couldn't log in, went to the site forum & turns out they have closed, so good thing I didn't reupgrade. Latest update found here from Johnny says all 3 admins will be meeting today to discuss what to do.

Received a fake email from egold today to confirm my account. Never click on any email links, always go directly to the site and login. Better safe than sorry.

Iwon.com. Everyday they give away $10,000. When you visit you earn points towards entries into the daily drawing. You get a max of 100 credits. Credits are earned by clicking links or doing searches. You also get a free email address. There are also giveaways, a prize machine to spin, pick 7. I've been going there for years to read the news section. Prefer to search at google though. Several years I actually won the $10,000 daily drawing. It was really cool. Got a phone call. Was pretty skeptical it was for real, but they sent paperwork to fill out & get notarized. Sent it back & got a check for $10,000. At the end of the year they sent a tax form. I'd just built my house, so it came at a perfect time. I'm still amazed I won. Definitely a site worth checking out.



If you're into Harry Potter, pre-sale for the last installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7), has started. The book is available in standard or deluxe versions. Release date is scheduled for July 21, 2007.

Solid Trust, Storm Surf Traffic, Herculist

Today is surf n earn day at Solid Trust. I have a $5 upgrade there & earned about 25 cents for the month. Wow.
lol, anyways, next surf day will be March 1.

Storm Surf Traffic has changed over to a dedicated IP address. This site used to be an autosurf, but is now just a traffic exchange. You can be a free member and there is a manual surf and an autosurf. Free members can enter up to 5 sites. It's a good place for free credits. I also like to use the autosurf some times to keep my dial up connection from disconnecting.


Leads, Leads, Leads!


Check out this site for generating leads. Free members can submit ads once a week. Submitted ads will be sent to a random 700 site members. Definitely use a secondary email address if you sign up or you'll get tons of spam. Probably the majority of the ads submitted end up in the trash without being opened, but you never know. It's free, so what the heck, try it.

My Random Downline, TrickleDownCash, The Ultimate Surf, Amazon, ICE

The forum part of the MyRandomDownline network is now open for posting. It's really nice. I like it. A lot of familiar names, comfortable atmosphere. Discovered a couple of new blogs to read, Agent725 and The Muckle Blog At Many A Mickle. I used up the rest of my egold to upgrade in My Random Downline, so we'll see how it does.

You can now find all updates for TrickleDownCash at the safelist forum, as admin would rather post there than send email updates. Personally I prefer the email updates as I just don't make the time to go to forums.

The Ultimate Surf is raising the min upgrade to $5 and adding a 3% fee for AlertPay upgrades. "No other upgrade will have any fees, and there will be no fees for withdrawals."

As you can tell by the Amazon banners, I am an Amazon affiliate. Checked my account last night & I've made $14 so far. Not much, but it's something. Better than surfs and it's legit. It's also a site I use quite frequently, good variety, reasonable prices and free shipping over $25.When signing up, you do have to supply a tax id. I don't mind here though, as I know it's not a scam. There are several payment options, Amazon gift certificate, direct deposit or check. The first 2 options require a minimum balance of $10, the last requires $100. Payments are now going to be done monthly too. You can create links to specific products, banners, search boxes, or an astore. They now let you download videos too. Pretty cool.

Just read this in Prevention magazine, if you have a cell phone, add a contact entry with a couple of emergency phone numbers and name the entry ICE, which stands for In Case of Emergency. Apparently medical responders will look for this entry when there is an emergency.

TrickleDownCash, My Random Downline, new sites

Upgrades at TrickleDownCash are now manual. "once you have upgraded, please fill in the contact form stating your user id, and processor used. Please allow 24 hours for them to the added, before chasing, thank you." "New site is just around the corner now." Site is slow sometimes, so am looking forward to the new site.

ManicAds is done. Didn't join this one, so good thing. Things sure go bad fast in the surf world.

MyRandomDownline will be open for upgrades late tonight or early tomorrow, so be sure to check it out if you haven't already. A monitor site will be launching within the week. There is also another site in the works, no details on it yet though.

John at 9planet will be opening up a hyip soon and Mrsvee will also be opening a site so stay tuned for those.

My Random Downline, Surf7Daily, DanishAmericanSurf, The Ultimate Surf, Solid Trust



At My Random Downline, you can now add your referral links. Pretty cool. Seems to be a good variety of sites, personal sites, blogs, surfs, cash shopping etc. They will also be giving away $200 in cash and free memberships in February. Offical launch will be in a few days, Wednesday, January 31st. The forum is now open though.

Payouts at Surf7Daily for January will start February 1st & will span a few days. That day will also be a bonus day with roi set to 7%. Sounds like a good day to join, if not a member.

Admin of DanishAmericanSurf is in the hospital due to 2 blood clots in the lungs. Payouts won't be done until she gets home, a week or so. I'm not in her sites but hope she has a speedy recovery.

Last day to upgrade at BigDaddySurf using cash balance is February 3. Admin is committed to making payments, although there has been no real money upgrades in 3 weeks.

At the moment The Ultimate Surf is low on egold and would like to know if members using egold are willing to take payments to AP, STP or ebullion. Personally, I prefer egold as fees are lower than the other processors.

February 1 is surf n earn day at Solid Trust. Sounds like the stocks they have funds invested into are doing very well.

Site Enhancements, portfolio

Site Enhancements new site is up. It is now a profit sharing site, no daily ROI is available yet though. Gloria, the admin, is currently working on payouts to those not in profit. Gloria is an honest admin, so it might be worth a try. I don't have any egold at the moment though.

My sites are dwindling fast. I'm down to Profound Hits, which holds no hope of being paid. BigDaddySurf, payout here is probably slim. The Ultimate Surf, my only site with the possibilty of being paid soon, my upgrade expires the 30th. TrickleDownCash, which is switching servers, hopefully it goes smoothly. Surf7Daily, need $20 to cash out, so I won't be getting paid until next month, provided nothing goes wrong between now and then.
No word on what's happening with XLO, since Bob bought it. SlamDunkAdvertising, 2 pending payments, not much hope here. Surf2Prosperity has had a pending for months. I think Lee is doing selective payouts, so not much hope of getting mine. SiteSeer, I'm not sure if they are still paying. They have the 50/50 rule, so I'll need to upgrade in order to get any payments. Dimension Ads, not good news here either. BTW, head over to Dolphin's blog for the latest update on the WickedHits, EzSurf-n-Earn Sites.
Pretty bleak portfolio at the moment. Hopefully I can turn it around. Think I'm going to go over to GoBubble & see if I can earn some pocket gold doing some PTC's.

Thursday, January 25, 2007

Site Enhancements, CowGirlSurf, Egold

Another one bites the dust. Yup, Site Enhancements is closing. Those not in profit will be refunded and the site may reopen as a profit sharing site. I was surprised, but the site has been running for nine months, so I guess it was time. I think I was about $1 away from being in profit, so I guess it's not a big loss. I did like the fast payments here though. Oh well.

Admin of DanishAmericanSurf is opening up another site: http://www.cowgirlsurf.info/?ref=3. It is modeled after XLO. It "is an instant pay site and all profits from it will go to pay old membbers back". I won't be joining. Watch out for those instant pay sites, especially this one if profits are going to pay old DAS members.

Egold now has an animated turing number field. I don't really care for it. It's a little strange.
