E-gold

More on the e-gold saga. Not good news.

10SitesDaily turns scam, Dr-surf

Well, 10SitesDaily and Gettin-Green have turned scam. Here's the info on the front page of 10SitesDaily:

Site Closed - Upgrades Disabled

Several people are calling me a scammer, I have not scammed anyone. Most of the sites closing recently are not due to the admin walking with the funds, they are just simply going broke. If I have any intentions of scamming, I would have closed this site the first pay day, when I had over 20k in my EG.

I was only receiving between $100 - $400 or so on average over the past two weeks, and have been paying out the first cycle deposits of no less than $1,500 a day. You do the math.

As far as with GG, I have only gotten about $50-$100 in deposits daily, paying out no less than $400 a day, and having to dig into 10SD account daily to do so.

For all those accusing me of having 5,000 and leaving, that is not true, I paid out until the last $500 was left in my EG, and refunded Jake from ASA for all of his help supporting me, and will also be refunding others that were top supporters.

I am not a scammer. Try running an autosurf for your self and you will find this out, unless you are a top blogger or have a great rep you will also fail 99% of the time, that is why you see surfs coming and going weekly.

I am truly sorry to all who lost here, and I will admit I did mislead some in the past two weeks, telling everyone the site was doing great, only in hope of a turn around.

Sorry...


Yeah, I'm sure they are real sorry.


And the latest from Dr-surf:

We have lowered the price of purchasing stations.
All levels are 50% off from now untill Monday!


Same return rate on all levels.


I did an admin push so someone can get a payout today. A nice big payout of $17 was paid out today.


2 days without income is starting to worry me, so we have a new feature im still working on, where members can buy stations, and sell their banner credits to other members wish to buy banner credits from other members.


Lastly, We got another site up and running..
Studio promotion.

500% referral earnings, 1 cent payout, same benefits as used10.com

Dr-surf

Here's the latest from Dr-surf:

Hello members,


Just wanted to let everyone know that stations are still being purchased by members, I have updated the station contest page. I believe this is our 11th day since launch..? The site is doing tremendously well. I'm very pleased with the way things are turning out here at dr-surf. I thank everyone that has supported the site, and hope everyone continues to enjoy this program.



We have a spot on the etalkmoney forum
http://www.etalkmoney.net/index.php?showforum=89
Feel free to post :-)


Mark paid out 4 members today totalling over $17!
Keep up the good work dr-surf members :-)


Oh and one last thing, We are in the proccess of setting up more sites that we purchased last night, and we will be sending out another mailer within next 24 hrs letting everyone know which sites they are. :-)

I purchased one station, but it's earning really, really slowly.

AdBux.org

Sorry for the lack of updates, just not much is new.
AdBux.org may be a scam. Here's a thread discussion. There are reports of people getting paid to their PayPal account though. It's free to join and free to earn and free to get paid. Probably just not a good idea to upgrade. One thing I noticed about this site is all the paid to click items are clickbank products, except for 1 I saw which was for DishNetwork. Usually there is a big variety of the type of ads, clickbank sites, personal sites, ptp, surfs, viral sites etc. Like at ClixSense. There are a large variety of different types of ads. Anyways, stay free and you won't lose.

I continue to receive daily payouts after surfing from Generation 12.

10SitesDaily, Dr-Surf, AdBux.org

Admin of 10SitesDaily is taking off for the weekend to Atlanta, Georgia, so payments won't be made until Sunday.

Here's the latest update from Dr-surf:

Hello members,


I just wanted to give everyone a few updates.
We purchased a big ad and people will be joining like crazy soon. So if you wish to buy stations, please do so before the new members do.


We are going to have a station purchase contest.
Contest will begin once we reach another $300 in station sales.
Person that buys the most stations will win the top prize amount. I am still programming the contest page, and putting it together. I made a custom made banner sponsor feature, so those who pay $5 to have their banner rotated for the sponsoring of the contest, 80% of the sponsor sales will be split to the 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th top purchasers. I will have more details on this within next few days.
The contest will end 30 days from when it begins, remember it begins when we reach another $300 in station purchases starting now.
Also for every $1000 in station sales we will up the autosurf earning rate and ptp rate.



I was also presented with an interview request yesterday, and last night ETalkMoney.com Interviewed me about dr-surf.com
More info here: http://www.etalkmoney.com/auto-surf/dr-surf-interview/#more-854



For those that have reached payout of $1 can request payout by adding in the amount they wish to withdraw and then I will have Mark process the payouts.


Dont forget to check out stormofcash.com it now has 100% referral earnings!


Traffic-station.com has 75%
and
Chromemotorsptc.com has 100% as well.

I joined another paid to click site. It's similar to ClixSense. This one is called AdBux.org. Not sure yet if I like it. My internet connection may be a bit slow for it. At least it was this morning. Tonight it seems better. Anyways, they pay .01 per ad clicked, which needs to be viewed for 15 seconds. Minimum payout is $5.00 to PayPal. You also get .01 for each site your referrals visit. The best part is it's free to join and earn.

carribean vacations

The weather here seems to have finally broke. I think spring may actually be here. Let's hope.
Anyways, summer tends to put people in the mood for a vacation. I know I could use one.
A caribbean vacation would be nice. The hard part is finding a good vacation deal. There are tons of sites on the web.
One site, vacations.net, has just redesigned their site. They offer savings up to 50% off regular rates. The site provides images along with desination info such as customs, culture, history and things to do.
The booking engine is able to price dynamically, offer dollar & percentage off promotions, discount regular rates, free nights and value added packages.
Vacations.net also offers:

Visual images and virtual tours of the destination

Detailed destination info including amenities & recreational activities

Complete accomodation info with detailed room options

All inclusive vacations sorted by vacation style & preferences

Resort ratings from those who have previously stayed

Featured vacation spots include popular beach and sun destinations, such as Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Mexico.

2 new autosurf sites added, 101 Website Traffic Tips

I've joined 2 more autosurf programs. These are both high risk.
Generation 12:
Here's the overview from the front page of the site:
10% for 12 Days.. 5% Referral Commissions.
Surf just 12 Sites a day.
$1 Minimum Advertising Purchase $3500 Max. (will increase with Membership)
Managed Dedicated Server With DDOS Protection.
Instant Cashout each day when surfing is done.
Industries Best Members Support.
Server Backed up every 3 Hours.

You are automatically paid after you surf. I've surfed twice and have been paid both times.


PsTraffic:
12% daily for 10 days.
Request cashout daily with no minimum.
3% referral commissions.
Surf 10 sites to earn.
Minimum upgrade is $1, maximum $6,000
NO compounding allowed.
Payments will be processed in less than 24hrs
(5% fee for daily withdrawal. 2% fee for withdrawal after expiration of an upgrade.)
Upgraded members may submit up to 3 sites in rotation.
Each $1 upgrade will purchase 25 advertising credits.

This site appears to send out daily emails when payments have been done.

Smooth surfing at both sites.


While I was browsing MyBlogLog today, I came across a post with 101 tips on driving traffic to your website or blog. It had some different ideas. It's worth a read.
Here's the first 10 tips:

If you’re launching a new site, or new content, write an introduction and submit it to share sites like Digg, Reddit and Now Public.

Create a Yahoo Group in the niche your site sits.

Create a MySpace account and use it to publisise your site.

Bookmark your site on Del.icio.us and if you’re really keen, add a Del.icio.us button to your homepage.

Create a Technorati account and “claim” your blog.

Submit your site to free, search engine friendly directories. An excellent list can be found here.

Conduct a survey. This is an excellent way to generate offline publicity.

Place a free ad for your company on Gumtree.

Syndicate your site’s content by using an RSS feeds.

Submit your RSS feeds to agregator sites like FeedBurner, Squidoo, Feedboy, Jordomedia, FeedBomb, FeedCat, rssmad, feeddirectory and feedfury. Stolen from DigitalPoint

Dr-Surf, 10SitesDaily, Stormofcash, easy2earn

The hot site everyone is currently joining appears to be Dr-Surf. It's not a straight up autosurf. It has a different concept. It's best to read the how it works page to get the idea of what it is about. I've purchased one station so far. We'll see how it goes. It doesn't appear to be a scam so far. Site appears to be part of a network which includes: Stormofcash, http://www.chromemotorsptc.com, and
http://www.traffic-station.com.





Payment received from 10SitesDaily and will be going in for another round.

Got an extra $1 in your egold account? I do and just saw this program, easy2earn, advertised and figured what the heck. Ever get a letter in the mail where you send money to a name at the top of a list and add your name to the bottom and then mail the letter to a certain number of people? The people you mail the letter to does the same and you supposedly end up getting a ton of money in the mail. Always sounds good. Anyways, easy2earn is similar. You pay a $1 to the first person on the list, add your name to the list and promote your referral page. You get paid when others sign up. For a $1, it's worth a shot.

TrickleDownCash, Extra Cash on the Web ranking

Not much new I guess, so will keep this short.
Surfing problem at TrickleDownCash appears to have been resolved. Just need to submit request for credit for days missed surfing.

Joined a new paid to read. This one is called The Owl Post. Referral structure here is a little different. You can only earn from 5 referrals after which all other referrals will spill over into the downline. Program is free to join and minimum payout is $3.00 to PayPal.
If you Google search "extra cash on the web", you will find my main site listed on the first page of search results.
If you Yahoo search "extra cash on the web" you will find my main site listed at #2 in the list of search results.
COOL!:)

247 Auto Hits, Surf Bloodhound, TrickleDownCash

Just joined a traffic exchange, 247 Auto Hits, run by the admin of info site AutoSurfWatch. 247 Auto Hits is not a paid autosurf, it is a traffic exchange only. As a free member, you are also allowed to submit up to 5 banners. I joined just for a new audience to advertise my website and Amazon store too. Site seems cool, different design. It's free, so it's worth a try.

Surf Bloodhound has officially decided to call it quits, due to a new job. Good luck to him.

TrickleDownCash is being a pain in the butt to surf. No word from admin as to the problem though, which is a bit unusual as they are usually on top of things.

10SitesDaily, Invest4Freedom, Amazon.com

Am currently waiting on payout from 10SitesDaily and Invest4Freedom.net.
Latest update at 10SitesDaily says payouts from the the 9th and fast tracks for the 13th have been completed, so should be getting mine in a few days.
Invest4Freedom.net appears to be a different story. No word from admin and admin has not been in mmg forum. Not looking good.

I joined another paid email site: Bluesky-emails. Here's the overview taken from the front page of the site:
FREE Membership.
Get Paid for Reading Your eMail.Paid for sign up earn more!
All Paid eMails are worth 0.7c,1c, 2c.
Low $2 Dollar Payout! via paypal
Payments Made Within 48 Hours!
We only accept members from countries in the list: Australia,Canada,United Kingdom,United States.
Promoter and Advertiser are also welcome !
Random Payouts (Top honest active member/promoter)!
1 Ref levels of commission ( 0% active request click to verify )
We don't accept the member using proxy or aol!
Level 1 - 15%

I mainly joined because of the low $2 payout. It takes a while to reach payout at some of these sites, so the lower the payout, the better.
Worthwhile autosurf sites are few and far between, so it's definitely time to start focusing my energy into other online money making areas. The problem is there is just so much information. I guess the key is to find one thing and just work on that. At the moment I'm leaning towards focusing mainly on paid blogging and my amazon astore. With Amazon's affiliate program, you can create your own store with any amazon products you want. At the moment, my store currently has all the baby/toddler books I've read, programming books, and all the stuff I ordered around Christmas time. I'm working on adding all of the baby/toddler items/toys I've bought for my son. It's cool, but you can't modify the html to add meta tags or google adsense, so that sucks. Sometime I may end up just creating a store from scratch, but that takes time.

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.

Orlando vacation rentals

So it's almost summer. Thank goodness. It's been a long winter here in the northeast, even though it started late. Summer is a good time to take a vacation. One popular place to go is Orlando, Florida. I've never been, but it sounds like a great place to go. Summer may not be the best time if you don't like the heat, but fall or winter sounds perfect. Orlando has 52 theme parks and beaches within a 40 minute drive. There are great deals on Orlando vacation rentals, which cost far less than other popular vacation spots.
Disney World is the biggest attraction in Orlando, but there are also more top rated golf courses than anywhere else in Florida. Orlando is also home to the second largest convention center in the world. I think my boss has been there several times for meetings. He said it's impressive. Just about all recreation activities in Orlando are family friendly.
Orlando is also continuously changing. All of the theme parks are constantly adding new rides and attractions, due to the stiff competition between them all. Even if you have been to Orlando before, it might be worth a trip back as there is always something new to see or do. The kids will love it.

Egold, 17SurfPro and Surf7Daily, The Ultimate Surf, Babblz

Egold was down this morning, causing payout problems for autosurf sites.
Admin of 17SurfPro and Surf7Daily is allowing members to compound until 8am tomorrow.

Update from The Ultimate Surf:

Hello All

Apologies for the lack of communication again. Situation still similar to how it was the other week. A little has has been returned to TUS and most of this has been paid out. I amde several alert payments last night and will hopefully make some egold payments tonight. I struggled big time yesterday to get into egold, but hopefully egold will be more accomodating for me today.

I am doing all I can. Once returns come back, some gets reinvested and most gets paid out. This is all I can do.

I am still here plodding along, hoping things will get better. Not going anywhere!

Regards

Nick (TUS)

Here's a site called Babblz which is similar to reddit or digg, but is for parenting information only. Cool. That fits my parenting blog. Will give it a try.

Amazon, Swift-Hits

Yaaaay! Received my first payment from the Amazon affiliate program. If you are not in this one and are looking for legit ways to make money online, Amazon's affiliate program is highly recommended. You do need to provide them with tax information.

Here's an update from Swift-Hits.net:
Dear Members:
Just in case something happens to the site and you cannot get to it tommorow for some reason, please dont panic. Rollersoft ( the people who made my script) has went offline for some reason, and my script will deactivate itself tommorow morning sometime!.. we are trying to figure out where they are at!

Swift-Hits, Futurebasesurf, Top 10 Social Networking Sites

Swift-Hits.net is now offering a paid email service. Here are the details:
1. Paid E-mails:
I am now gonna be offering paid advertisement e-mails to everyone. Here is how it is gonna work. You e-mail me at Admin@swift-hits.net and let me know that you would like to participate in doing this, and a copy of the e-mail that you would like to send. Here are the prices below:

Prices: $6.00 to send to all per e-mail..(2 per day) This is not refundable.
or
$50.00 lifetime fee and you can only send 2 e-mails a day. With your advertisment.( to all members) However you will not have to pay anything else ever again, even if your not part of my site anymore. This is not refundable. You can pay Via e-gold or Alertpay.

Received an update from admin of Site Enhancements. Apparently there is an autosurf called Futurebasesurf and it looks to be turning scam: "They are deleting members with referrals and blocking their IPs. This tells me one thing. They can no longer keep paying everyone."

If you are interested in using social networking sites to drive traffic to your website/blog, here is an article which lists the top 10 social networking sites. Digg is at the top. BTW, social networking sites are the best way I have found so far to drive traffic. MyBlogLog is the only I've really poked around though. One at a time.

Egold, TradeMarked Ads, Netzen

I haven't logged into my egold account in about a week. Logged in today and discovered the jumping turing number. I thought the scrolling turing number was bad. Now it's really bad.

TradeMarked Info new autosurf, TradeMarked Ads, is now paying all members a flat rate for suring. Free members get 5 cents a day for viewing 30 sites and upgraded members get 5 cents a day for viewing 25 sites on top of the daily rebate earned for purchases. I think I will have to check it out. Will hold off on upgrading for now though.

Looks like Netzen is compromising. He will continue posting, but only once a week. Glad to hear that.

Blogitive

Woohoo! My first 2 blog posts at Blogitive have been approved. Now, I'm just waiting on payment to hit my PayPal account.

My son is sick with a high fever, so I'm making this short.
