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.




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.

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.

My Random Downline, DanishAmericanSurf, Synovate

My Random Downline will be screening sites added to its database & will not add sites known to be scams or linked to serial scammers. I think this is a good move. I don't like seeing sites promoted which I know have stopped paying or are scams to begin with. I've gotten sucked into a few myself, so I'm glad to know the sites I see being promoted within the My Random Dowline network will be legit sites. Launch will be soon, so if you're not signed up yet, be sure to check it out.

Admin of DanishAmericanSurf is still around according to the latest update. Apparently site will be moving to http://www.danishamericansurf.info as the host of current domain has been receiving alot of complaints about the site & has refused to renew or transfer it. I received a pending from the Old DAS, but still have one pending from the new DAS. I'm not interested in rejoining. Never chase old money, just move on.

One of the survey sites I am in, Synovate Global Opinion Panel, will be awarding points for every survey completed which can be redeemed for cash starting February 5th. I get lots of survey invitations from this site, but never complete them since you only get a sweepstakes entry. Points for cash will be much better.

My Random Downline, Wiflyer

My Random Downline should be launching in less than a week. That along with the monitor site and forum will be launched at the same time. In order to promote the forum, admins will be doing a couple of giveaways. For February, top 4 subscribed forum posters will get cash prizes. Free month subscription for March will go to anyone posting more than 150 posts on forum. They need to be posts with useful info, not just paid posts. I'm looking forward to the launch. Already save egold set aside for subscription.

My Wiflyer came! It is really awesome! I'll be posting about it here, at my other blog if you want to check it out. Definitely worth the $100 I paid for it. Simply amazing device!

VivaSurf.us, My Random Downline, 24DailyPro, Tech Tips

Payment received from VivaSurf.us over the weekend. I'm out of this one. I was going to go back in with a $3 upgrade using AlertPay. With admin fees that would have turned out to cost 3.78. When paid out & after fees, there was hardly any profit so it's not worth my time. There have been reports of larger upgrades not being paid, so watch out for this one if you are in it or thinking about going in.

My Random Downline should be launching either late this week or early next week, so keep an eye out for the announcement. If you're not in it yet, check it out. It is free to join. This is just one of 3 sites. There will also be a monitor site and forum where your banners will be rotated. The monitor site should be the most honest one out there as only members will be voting. No payoffs in order to get good votes. I look forward to checking it out.

Received an email 24DailyPro will be relaunching. This is definitely a site to avoid. Admin Will is a scammer. I didn't lose anything in the original 24DailyPro. I got out just in time, but a lot of people didn't. Then he opened a private surf. I think the min upgrade was around $50. That turned scam as well, so stay away from 24DailyPro and anything else Will is involved in.

In pursuit of making my fortune online, yeah right, well, it's worth a try, I have started another blog. I'm a software engineer, so this one will be focused on my programming adventures, such as useful programming info, cool computer gadgets and anything else computer related I might think of. Check it out here.

Site Enhancements, VivaSurf.us, TrickleDownCash

Payment received from Site Enhancements. This site pays quick & you can request payments daily. However, AlertPay has now been discontinued due to high fees.
SurfBloodhound has the latest news on AlertPay.

VivaSurf.us has dropped e-gold as a payment processor. Members that use E-Gold will have the option to use e-Bullion, Alertpay, and SolidTrustPay for their cashouts. E-gold is what I use. It's been around a long time and the fees are cheaper. As long as you choose a good password & keep your computer secure, you shouldn't have a problem with getting hacked. Just to be safe though, I get the money out as soon as I get it. If you do get hacked though, you're out of luck as e-gold offers no protection.
VivaSurf.us will be celebrating its 1 year anniversary in 15 days.

TrickleDownCash has reduced it's timer to 5 seconds as many are having surfing problems. The new site should be up next week. Admin has signed up with Global Domains and now has a new contact address: support@trickle.ws.

Profound Hits, My Random Downline, Treasure Trooper

According to the latest post in the members area of Profound Hits, chances of getting paid are pretty slim. Robert is going to try to keep making payments, but it will be difficult. You can either keep surfing in the hopes you might get some sort of payment or just delete your account. The site is closed anyways, so I guess I'm just going to keep surfing until my upgrade expires.




Don't forget to check out MyRandomDownline if you haven't already. Apparently a good variety of sites have been submitted. I'm anxious for it to get up and running, just to fully see how it's going to work. $6 a month, so it's worth a try.




Boy, there's really a lot to Treasure Trooper. There's cash back shopping, paid to signup offers(415 at the moment, and many are free), a trading hut where you can get free referrals, Amazon gift certificate, I forget what else. It's free to sign up. Payments are once a month but you need at least $20 in your account in order to be paid. If you sign up, don't forget to check out the forum to get the full scoop on the paid to sign up offers.

TrickleDownCash, SlamDunkAdvertising, JustFreeStuff

TrickleDownCash has decided to open a new site based on the feedback received. Keep an eye on the safelist forum for further info. At the current site, members can continue upgrading, but compounding won't be allowed. This site has been around over a year, so hopefully there is nothing to worry about and the opening of the new site will go smoothly.

SlamDunkAdvertising is still having financial problems, but Robert still wants to save the site & he has a 3 step plan:
1. No more requesting to compound.
2. For now, no more 50/50 rule & your account won't be deleted for being inactive.
3. Robert has other sites he is working with & will be opening a new one soon. No info on what that new site will be, but he'll post links on the main page.
I have 2 pendings here, so I probably won't be upgrading anymore.

If you're looking for some free stuff on the internet, check out this site. This is the best freebie site I've found. The set up is clear & if it's a step 2 offer, the admin tells you. I've gotten tons of stuff from this site. There are also contests listed. I've entered a few here & there, but never won anything. I guess if you don't enter, you don't win.

BlogToolKit, Dimension Ads, Wicked-Hits, EZ Surf ‘n Earn and WebHits Daily

Today I received the BlogToolKit I requested when signing up for ProjectPayDay. Just got it, so I'm anxious to take a look at it. Hopefully it contains some new info.

The admins of Dimension Ads, Wicked-Hits, EZ Surf ‘n Earn and WebHits Daily are having a problem. First, they are behind in payouts, which we know. Apparently, they lost money when several surfs cloed. They also sent some money to somebody to invest. That person has scammed them, so they will be suing him if the money is not returned. All surf site members will be able to file suit as well. Here's a copy of the statement issued: http://www.dimensionads.com/Notice_of_default_Public.pdf
Fairpatton is also giving the admins problems. He is spreading lies about them and has had their admin accounts deleted from several surf sites (namely surf2prosperity.com and Dynamite surf). Notice those sites. The first one is Lee's site, the second is his supposed cousin's site. Interesting. How does Fairpatton manage to delete their accounts if he's not Lee. From all of Lee's emails he's always encouraging new signups, so it seems strange he would delete their accounts just because John wants him to. Maybe there is more to the story, but that John/Lee connection is fishy.
Anyways, I hope the admins get things back on track. They are some of the good ones and deserve support. They didn't sell out like Andy or run like Dave.

My Random Downline, Wiflyer, MVPSurf, TrickleDownCash, MySpace

Always get a copy of your post before you publish, in case something happens and you lose it, as I just did, without getting a copy. argggh.
Ok.

MyRandomDownline seems like it is doing well. You can now add up to 3 sites to your members area. Admin wants to start populating the database. I have to get going and add mine.
Spent the weekend doing some online shopping, clothes at old navy and a device which is supposed to share my internet connection with my laptop. I do most of my work at home using a company laptop, but use my desktop for email and the internet. Sometime's I'll download a file and need to use it on my laptop. I just use my thumb drive, but thought it would be nice to have a network to share files & my internet connection. I started researching it, but I'm just not a hardware person. Reading about routers, external modems, access points just gave me a headache. Then you have to tweak settings too. Sounded complicated. Then I came across the wiflyer. It's all that rolled into 1 device with a fast, easy setup. Sounds really cool. The reviews were all really good. $100 at www.wiflyer.com. It's been shipped, so we'll see. That's next weekends project.

MVPSurf's new site is up. Michael is trying to make it a non ponzi. There is a prepaid legal site, which he will be using funds from to pay members. Michael is a good admin, but I'm going to sit this one out.

TrickleDownCash is in need of a new script. Here's a link discussing what to do.

John at 9planet has a comment about myspace I agree with. Back when the holiday giveaways were occurring, I downloaded a traffic generating document which discussed myspace. I have a person myspace account I use to talk with my sister and cousins. I did set up a fake account to use to get referrals, but I just couldn't get into it. MySpace is intended for personal use and making real friends. I don't want to pretend to be someone's "friend" just to get referrals. I prefer talking to someone without having a hidden agenda. You definitely have to be careful when using myspace, either trying to get friends or receiving friend requests. My personal account is always getting friend requests from people I don't know, and then the next day their profile is deleted. You just never know who you could be talking to or what their agenda might be.

Want to wish Dolphin a Happy Birthday!


Guess that's the gist of my lost post.

ASA, PTSPayPro, 10DollarsWonder, e2ePay, Project PayDay

Drunkonlife has more info on the saga between ASA and PTSPayPro. The gist of it is Jake is stepping down from ASA & handing the reigns to Butch, who's a moderator and PTSPayPro is a good site to avoid. Apparently Will from 24DP is part of PTSPayPro and had hoped to use it as a feeder site to revive 24DP.
Well, I learned the sites that make it to the top of the ASA list, always die not too long after they hit the top. I mainly use ASA to check out what sites are around, get an overview of how they are doing at the moment & to post payout updates. I really don't trust monitor sites. Too much politics.
PTSPayPro, I was never in, although, I was in 24DP. It was one of the few sites I got out of before dying. From the sounds of it, Will & anyone he is associated with, are good people to avoid.

At the top of the 10DollarsWonder login page is a banner advertising e2ePay, a new payment processor. Today I received a warning from the admin at Site Enhancements about e2ePay. Here's the update:

Hello everyone,

I have been informed to be watchful of e2epay. The site does not have the https is the first warning. The second warning is a member tried calling the phone number listed on whois and it is disconneted. The third warning is every site connected to the owner are HYIP or money scheme programs that are closed down.

Be very careful with your info if you are in this site.

Gloria


I think it was a few days ago I mentioned Project PayDay. You sign up & then have to fill out an offer in order to become a member. You will be refunded the s/h for the offer within 24 hours of sending the admin a contact refund request. I sent in my refund request & waited. No refund. So a day or two ago, I sent in another refund request. Received an email my refund was pending & should show up within 24 hours. Yup, today my refund showed up in my paypal account. Cool. Now I just have to call & cancel the offer I signed up for. I signed up for blogging for dollars, so I really hope it comes, since I never bookmarked the page to download the info, just the signup page which didn't have a login link.

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.
