E-Mail to the entire list of members on Free SafeList Mailer

2009-11-24T03:50:00.004+08:00

Just go to Free Safelist Mailer’s Home Page and you can read lots of advantages that might not offered by other safelists. The best part is, free members can email to the entire list, using either HTML or Text mailer – once a day.

And credits may come from daily emails you receive. Each email gives you 50 credits to 500 credits depend on the level of memberships sending out the ads you read. You may also receive solo emails through your Contact mailbox worth 1,000 credits to

5,000 credits, depending on the level of sender’s membership. Another way of getting credits is through daily log in. Just wait for few seconds on browsing ‘Daily Sponsored Website’ upon log in which gives you 550 credits; and then click the "Dino Daily Bonus" to receive another 250+ Credits.

Free Members are also awarded monthly credits on the 1st of each month. Upon sign up, you will get 5,000 credits in advance.

Free Safelist Mailer provides you a simple and easy guidance on how to setup a Google Email, test your email address and how to store emails received from members because you are getting up to 1,000 emails every day.

On top of that, you may click the "Promo Code Redemption" that available on the menu list and just type or copy and paste the word ‘10DollarsFree’ to get your free $10 commissions, and this can be done once only.

This is the latest Visitor Traffic Chart by Alexa since the operation of Free Safelist Mailer:

Even though Free Safelist Mailer recorded a tremendous increase on its members since operation in less than 2 years (currently have 33,826 total members as at today – 24/11/2009); just look at some statistics on its Daily Unique Visitors:

Average 21,175 Daily Unique Visitors by websiteshadow.com
Average 44,290 Daily Page view by websiteoutlook.com
52,064 Daily Page views and 5,830 Daily Visitors by bizinformation.org/us
Estimated 9,713 number of visits per day by statbrain.com
22,333 Daily Unique Visitors, by webtrafficagents.com

If we take websiteshadow.com and webtrafficagents.com figures which is to me are quite reasonable, it represents only 65% of total current members – and I took all visits are by members (not guests). So if you post a mailer everyday, on conservative value of 25% recipients, you may get about 5,440 daily potential views. Out of that, if I proceed with another 25% conservative click through views, you may get around 1,360 unique traffic views everyday which represent about 4% of total members.

So, if your website or web page is publishing some CPM Ads, Free Safelist Mailer is a good choice as average 70% Daily Unique Visitors come from Tier 1 countries. Statistics provided by 4 different programs on United States, United Kingdom and Canada (just 3 as comparison):

Good news to those who are displaying Adotic ads and interested to participate as publisher. If we look at some Ad Networks’ trend especially Google Adsense on reducing its CPC, it happen that Adotic increased its CPC/CPA rates.

From $0.01 CPC/CPA to all ad types; effective Nov 12, 2009 the rates increased to $0.25 CPA and to $0.06 CPC. Besides, Adotic has decided to pay an additional 5% of publishers’ earnings (only to publishers who did not receive first payment

in the first four months) as compensation. The team has also promised to give faster solutions to publishers’ needs.

1. I read people encourage and love to optimize Adsense Ads with maximum 3 link ads, 3 text/banner ads and 2 search boxes. But if you put them in proper places, your website looks very nice. Instead I used Adbrite and Bidvertizer as well.

Just read my recent post on TPD where I feel most people are afraid on promoting or publishing it due to Ad Network license agreement or TOS under Encouraging clicks: Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails.

But if you find that the program is really good, go ahead.

I’ve posted this thread at LinkReferral through http://www.linkreferral.com/forumlist.pl?cat_id=1&topic_id=36974&startrow=100&search_term=&profile=

Today I received an email from TPD notifying me that the forum is already live. It makes the program more reliable.

2. Yesterday dexplatform.com sent email to its publishers announcing on the Network closing under PrePopAds.com. Same goes to BlueAdvertise for its Squeeder.com.

As what I have wrote earlier at Ad Networks Merger Integration: DEX Platform, it is a good move because you have a control on the number of ads published and easy to monitor them, especially when now dexplatform.com have a full discretion on advertising. To those who are still interested with the concept, just re-register through dexplatform.com.

Even you are allowed only 2 ads per page, you can freely use these code to all your websites, social sites, etc; as far as you place it on the first 50% of the page.

And today, it has added more countries totaling 56 for traffic tier and will add more very soon. So, what happen to my post under Additional Revenue with PrePopAds? Leave it there because lots of info on that page...

3. Nice feedback received from a forum 3 days ago:

1. You only have one post per page so have to go to the archive every time so not very convenient.
2. It seems like you only have adsense on your site and not selling your content but just trying to get people to click on your ads. - Which for many readers is a turning away point.
3. Once again because of the ads, I really did not understand what was the subject of your blog as a whole?
4. One real good point i noticed is that your blog loads real fast which is a very important factor.

I really appreciate this feedback. I am a working person where blogging is just a hobby so I'm not even a semi-pro on this. But let me explain a little bit:

1. If you look at the right sidebar under Useful Links - Summary on All Posts; you may find my 20 posts per page as summary. Instead I make it much more convenient.
2. I'm still looking for better template for my posts because all posts are very long and so far this is the best template I found which can minimize the down scrolling. I focus on Traffic Generating and ad Networks; and I allocate those spaces to test the codes when I made a review on a particular Ad Networks. If you follow my blog from Jan, you can find that I have frequently changed the template and the ads as well. (Can I make good money if I keep on changing Ad Network programs?)
3. This question was answered through my posting under Making Money With Thousand Links. To me, doing a review is quite different from promoting a program. We just take everything from the program to promote it; but through review, we can have/make a comparison, pro and con, and also other resource as supporting material. I classified it as 'information' blog while the rest are separated (look at navbar), leisure at Take A Break; promo at PTP Pages and Earn Money; promo on various marketplaces is at Opportunities and Games also separated from this blog.
4. Thanks for item 4 but I still have some overlapping issues when using IE. I try to minimize 'banner ads' for speed purpose. Different people, different taste; I really like banner ads truly. Thanks again

Just wonder; if 98% internet marketer failed, does the 2% pointing to product owner?

Unique Free Advertising Forum

2009-11-12T12:58:00.008+08:00

Whether you want to promote it or not, Free Advertising Forum is a great program for promoting your businesses, products, services, affiliate links or personal websites. It is not really a forum page but inside there you can post Classified Ads, link, banner ad, online chatting with all the marketers, and best of all – you are given a free website that have 4-in-one promotions!

From Google search, I found only one review done by Kevin K.Watson back on January 3, 2005 under

FreeAdvertisingForum.com - Free Advertising that Works. The rest are postings from members that published by Google.

Michael Rasmussen has a great idea by creating Free Advertising Forum where your ads will be instantly displayed to more than 200,000 active members. You only have to view members’ websites as you wish them to view yours in return. You are required to register before you can post anything there.

Advantages inside this Free Advertising Forum:

1. You are not supposed to promote Free Advertising Forum to have your products published. Just make use of the program and you get the satisfaction when your products being viewed by the members. This is few steps ahead compared to some programs that promised 100,000; or even 1 Million guaranteed views but instead of promoting some of your products, you only able to promote one. Then the programs make you busy promoting their affiliate link just for the sake of increasing your page view.

2. Inside Free Advertising Forum itself, you are able to post whatever promotion you need to;

a. Through Forum index where you may place Classified Ads (similar to forum threads). There are 15 Classified Ads per page with 15 pages totaling 225 Classified Ads. You have to view minimum 5 threads before you can start a new thread. What does this mean to your ads then? Your ad is placed on the 1st page every time you make new thread.

b. Post a link (similar to ad submitter programs) and you must click and view only a link before you can make a submission. You have to retype the secure code given as a proof that you have viewed a link. Your link will be placed on the bottom (25th position) and visible until it being pushed up through members click and view. You may submit another link after your earlier link becomes invisible. Just think of how many views you are getting before your link become invisible?

c. Banner ad submission and your banner will be placed on the bottom (10th position) – this is a common feature available at major traffic exchanges (safe lists and auto/manual surf). You may see the progress of your banner ad being clicked and viewed by refreshing the page. But you have to click and view all 10 banner ads before you get the same instruction.

d. You are also able to chat with existing Internet Marketers to boost your contact list and change ideas, etc.

e. You are given a free website! Refer my earliest posting under Click Bank's Affiliate where I gave a very brief info on the ‘free given website’.

Free Advertising Forum is totally a free program even though it has a referral link to promote it. Either you want to use it or not, it is up to you. But I can tell you that the website is so attractive and powerful – displaying your banner ads (on the top and bottom); a search box (embedded with your SearchFeed Account ID) displaying all 9 ClikBank category lists complete with product titles; 12 random products from ClikBank (all embedded with your ClikBank ID; 9-in-1 Amazon products under one widget (also embedded with your Amazon Associate ID); beside Free Advertising Forum affiliate link itself. Just imagine that you can earn up to 75% commission on over 11,000 digital products on a single free strong promotional website.

Just a note that you still get the free website even you don’t have either one of those account/associate ID but then, the incomplete fields will be completed with a default ID.

HAVE A VIEW ON THE FREE WEBSITE HERE

3. Your Classified Ads will be crawled by Google – displayed and published; and this is an auto marketing submission for you in future.

Be creative so that your Classified ads, link and banner ad becomes attractive and members have an interest to click and view them. So, just go through what has been written here and feel free to give me a feedback or comment. I really appreciate it.

What makes The Portal Directory different from other traffic exchanges?

2009-11-05T13:57:00.006+08:00

WELCOME TO THE PORTAL DIRECTORY

The Portal Directory has celebrated its 2nd birthday 0n the final week of October recently. It is not a traffic exchange even though you feel it like a manual traffic exchange. On the surface, The Portal Directory’s website purely follows the concept like pulpfictionhits.com; a free manual traffic exchange program; but here, members are displaying ‘portal page’ or ‘splash page’ without any ads display. In other words, members’ website is only seen outside of the directory, meeting most TOS requirements.

All sites listed with this program are portal pages only, and that’s why it is called The Portal Directory.

So, if you have AdSense, AdBrite, BidVertiser or any of the other great ad sources, make full use of this program by joining The Portal Directory now.

Upon celebrating its 2nd birthday, The Portal Directory announced that the program is a Pro only site effective Nov 1st,2009; but to all new members or who ever interested to join will have 60 days free before you need to pay. You do not have to pay anything yet until end of this year, and when it comes to 1st Jan 2010, if you feel that The Portal Directory is not worth for you to be Pro you can cancel your subscription.

You have free access until Dec 31st, after that the whole life memberships maybe increase from the existing $49.95 (or $5.00 monthly). During this period till year end, The Portal Directory is offering the birthday sales offer for Life Time Pro at $35.00 only.

It is a good opportunity to those having 3rd party ads and really looking for their ads been clicked. You are allowed for 20 portal pages with a Free Website Rotator link.

Just brief explanations before you proceed:

1. Make a simple portal page or splash page (without 3rd party ads) and describe your target link/website there. Make sure the description is redirecting and opens in a new window/tab (add your html with target=”blank”). Refer sample at The Money Site page.

2. Clear Cache before and after log in.

3. Respect all members’ ad by keeping the ad clicked for at least 2 minutes.

4. To Asian members; better skip domain website (Parked Domains Search Website - do not open it) after reaching the timer when appear during surfing.

5. No need for you to surf too many pages, 10 pages are enough at one time. You may repeat this process (step 2 to 5) after few hours due to different world time zone and your page can be seen by different group of members within 24 hours time.

Details on this info can be gathered HERE

Ad Networks Merger Integration: DEX Platform

2009-10-26T09:37:00.013+08:00

DEX Platform Network is a standardized direct banner media exchange for publishers. Besides putting these ads at your websites, it

allows you to put the ads on social pages. You can place two ad tags on per page, and best part is you can place the ad tags to unlimited amount of websites.

I suppose to post this article earlier before Sound Bites 2 but I have to study first on CPM rates to the ads published at some of my blogs.

Currently DEX Platform supports two (2) payment methods: PayPal (without any limits for all publishers and no minimum payout limit) and Wire Transfer (only for publishers generating more than $1,000.00 revenue per month).

Instead of having its own ad tags, there are some Ad Networks joined under DEX Platform such as PrePopAds, BlueAdvertise (formerly known also as CUBE:BlueAdvertise Network), and Squeeder through their separate Newsletter dated Sep 29, 2009. If you have registered with any of these three programs earlier, you have to re-register with DEX Platform. I think it is a good move because you have a control on the number of ads published and easy to monitor them.

Because of each programs limited on two (2) ads display at each page, it is no harm for you to put a combination of those banner ads from Ad Network programs to maximize your earnings. The ad format available are 468 x 60, 728x90, 120x600, 160x600, 300x250, Linked ln Ad (ad tag where you can place/link with your text , image or object – but CPM rate are same as 468x60 banner ad), and layered ad 600x250 (CPM rate same as 300x250). DEX Platform stated that the standard ad format 468 x 60 banner generates lower revenue than other formats.

By looking the ad tags provided, it reminds me on the other Ad Networks provider - MediaShakers. With MediaShakers, you can put the ad tags to your other websites after adding your desired site/s as another channel; and you may place the ad tag of each size per page, not only two (2) as per DEX Platform.

Either you are using DEX Platform, PrePopAds, Blue Advertise, Squeeder, or MediaShakers, all of them display rotation ads without refreshing your page with common ad comes from SocialBidSystem, and mostly displaying Travian Ads.

These programs however, are different from AdClickMedia, another Ad Network program with rotating ads which have Photo Text Ads, Interstitial Ads (not recommended to place it on blogs), and Banner Ads (468x60, 728x90, 160x600, 300x250, 336x280). So far AdClickMedia displays its own banner for banner ads because its Banner Ads are still under beta status but providing your Publisher Banner Ad Report and Publisher Interstitial Ad Report on daily basis to your mailbox. Through the report received, you should know whether you can play with the ads or not because it seems like AdClickMedia is counting on very high impressions (CPM) on banner ads and really looking for CPC for publishers' earnings. But the beautiful part is you can transfer your publisher revenue to start your own advertising campaigns.

If you read my post under Ping Your Site..., you will notice that http://technorati.com/ping is no longer valid, and you are redirected to “Page Not Found – Technorati”. But if you still want to ping any new updates, you can use other Ping Services and your link still ping to Technorati.

I am highlighting this because majority of us allow Technorati to crawl our contents and I am using it inside my blog.

To those who are not aware, Technorati has just re-launched its new site on October 13, 2009 (last week) with some features are gone and what you can see today is the beta site. You can find more interesting features there.

2. Last weekend I spent my time looking back all my postings and surprised when I found that Contactthem.ws has gone. The review has been done during my old blog somewhere on Mac ’08 and when I created The Unique Reviews, I just took the whole posts.

To those who read my free traffic post, I have added a note there that link to this page. I make use of Google search and found some useful articles at Dailyblogtips.com, Adsenseforidiots, and Clicknewz.com.

Can’t believe it because I got quite number of referrals before, but hopefully all my referrals are on free membership.

3. People ask why I use LinkBee (URL redirection site) to some of links and keep original link to the rest? Instead of getting additional earnings, some links are identified as ‘heavily spammed’, not classified as ‘family friendly’, and quite harmful (linked to link farm, contains Online Gambling, Adult Entertainment, etc).

Changing links to URL redirection link makes the new link created stands alone, become a fresh address and not connected to any program related to earlier link. Details on this can be found at my older posts at Making Money With Thousand Links and Stay Clean with Ad Network Providers

Does TrafficStorm4U not attractive enough to increase the number of its members?

This is my second review after my first post under Unique Traffic Exchange last time. Through recent newsletter 2 days ago, TrafficStorm4U officially suspended weekend SuperCashSurf but members still can earn money through normal surfing.

This action has been taken after looking at many free members who 'simply surf and get paid without contributing anything to the welfare of the site'. I think members are not really taking the advantage on this because for the past weeks, TrafficStorm4U itself are having log in problem resulting members cannot do normal surfing.

Banning people on wrongly clicked on the button at verification page is not a smart action which I think make the site less popular. Bob Mateer might think another way of action; maybe through deducting the hit points or monetary item collected by respective members as a penalty and at the same time retain his members.

TrafficStorm4U is really a good program where members have few options (looking for traffic hits, chats, or even earn some money) through surfing. These available options make TrafficStorm4U amongst the fast program that pays member compared to some reputable PTC sites beside providing traffic exchange.

Matthew Graves took all necessary actions himself to ensure TopTierTraffic gets more and more members - resulting 26,250 members joined in the first 291 days of operation. Even a new program, Cash-Solos.com recorded an encouraging number (2,470 members) in less than 7 months operating.

To all, let us make TrafficStorm4U more valuable because end result is guaranteed traffic to your sites, targeted prospects and extra earnings! Happy surfing

Twitter: A Social Site, Free Down Builder Program, or Money Maker?

2009-10-16T12:56:00.012+08:00

It comes to my attention when Twitter becomes more popular. As a social site, you are not directly communicated with your followers, people you followed or to the whole community. Different from APSense or FanBox, Twitter does not directly pay you. Twitter is only a platform to increase your own community through followers where they are reading on what ever you tweet (post) or auto tweet by any affiliate program/s you joined and promoted.

Basically Twitter is not meant for advertising or making money from it. Some people use Twitter as communication medium but now the idea is people are making it as a platform for marketing by

exchanging ads besides normal tweeting. More followers you have give more possibility on making money. In other words, people are using Twitter as a Marketing Tool because followers are automatically subscribed to what has being posted or ‘Twitter monetization’.

It has some nice Widgets to be displayed at your site but interrupt viewers through an API pop up - requires a username and password. This might turn people off from your website and your widget might not be displayed if they just disable the request. It also connected with TwitterRemote if you want some statistics and widgets.

Instead of twittering, you still have to promote your Twitter account page for making a huge follower. Webmasters look at this opportunity creating another program affiliated and used Twitter as their arena such as (just highlighting some out of hundred programs) tweetposts.com - markets your 12 affiliate pages on Twitter; twitterlistbuilder - digital product that automatically add 1,000s new followers; tweet adder - promised an Auto Follow Up to 1,000 Targeted Profiles per Day; an "underground" strategies: MarketingGT; List-Twister - added Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to the down line builder; among others.

Even though some programs are not affiliated with Twitter, you have the option to give your Twitter ID and Password to enable the sponsors messages automatically twittered to your Twitter account based on each program’s TOS. Most popular programs are MagPie; RevTwt; TwittAd; TwiVert; SponsoredTweets.

But if you really want to make some money from your Twitter account, you may try this: Hold down your shift button on your keyboard, click the 4 button three times without releasing your shift button and in a second you can see that you have generated some. Immediate payment with no minimum payout!

Another communication medium where you are being paid directly from it. APSense has an affiliate program and promoting materials – from basic material; banners; text and email ads; to Widgets to ease you fully monetizing your account.

What you have to do is what normally you are doing everyday - join desired interest groups, write some useful blogs in your account and inside the group discussion pages, posted advertisements (banners or scripts) at provided Ad Space, create more business blogs; and these activities are generating certain amount of money

to your account. Instead, you are also being paid when people viewed your account; when the friends that you invited into your network do the same thing that you are doing (increase your network); upgrade your account; reading paid emails delivered to your mailbox; and lots more advantages.

All payouts are processed through Paypal with current minimum payout is $50. You still can get your payout through another method by emailing support.

If you are interested, just register here. No fees, it’s free.

1. TRAFFICNOWFIRE

If you read my review under TrafficNowFire: Updates for a Debate, now you can see that this program is reversing back to normal, and off late members are hardly receiving any paid mails except daily updates (that urges you for daily login). Its newsletter dated Oct 4, 2009, clearly stated that Basic members can now continue back to trading points for shares and can now trade 6,000 points per 1 share by simply

visiting the trade point’s page under the Points tab. Also, now both Basic and PRO members will each earn links from their referrals. Basic members will receive 2 links and PRO members will receive 3 links anytime one of their referrals activates their account beside additional advantages to PRO members.

And today (Wed, Oct 7, 2009), TrafficNowFire through its newsletter have added a splash page for members promoting TrafficNowFire. I have re sized it as per image above.

2. TREKPAY

Easy work from home job even if you are not promoting any program, just having a personal website, or even doesn’t have any website (without a website). In less than 5 minutes daily job, doesn’t it make TrekPay a better income earning program compared to any GPTR programs or Ad Networks in terms of payment or fast payout?

You only have to go to Browse/Search Tab to click all websites available.

Normally 15 websites are available within 24 hours time which gives you about 25 credits per session. Then if you log in every hour, at least one website is there for you to click. That’s why on weekly basis, TrekPay is sharing its profit by converting your credits into dollar amount. It is not possible if you may earn $50 dollars per week with TrekPay.

A request button for payout will appear when you have $5.50 or more, and payment made within 7 days. Remember to open a free PayPal account as currently this is the only method applicable. Get Paid for Searching the Internet!

3. CEOADS

I think if you bookmarked my blog or repeating visitor to my blog, you can recognize that I have removed CEOAds banner. It is a genuine program, really pays me but off late I keep on receiving a negative feedback on link to my blog that was redirect to such yellow pages page.

Formerly the admin set up PayAds.com before runs CEOAds. It recorded 6,329 daily page view with $19.99 daily ads revenue.

It promised an earning of $3.6 per CPM with adjusted low $5 PayPal (3% fee) payout. I still put the banner ads at some of my blogs and at my business blog at APSense.

4. ADSTRAIGHT

AdStraight is a new Ad Network but it has a nice banner ads and various type of contextual ads, and you can adjust your earning either through CPC or CPM. I really like the ad format (468 x 60, 234 x 60, 728 x 90, 120 x 600, 160 x 600, 120 x 240, 250 x 250, 125 x 125 and 336 x 280) because I can choose my own color to the ad text, background, and border colors to complement to my blog.
ADSTRAIGHT promised a minimum of $0.04 per CPC and $0.10 per CPM; make payments to a minimum earnings of $10. You can choose to be paid by PayPal, AlertPay, or Liberty Reserve.

If you do a Google search, there are lots of good reviews on ADSTRAIGHT but it seems like the admin is not willing to actively participate especially in the forum and updating blog. As a result, there are some major things unresolved such as Edit Button and I’m still waiting for my second blog to be approved (I praise that my request is not being unattended because admin promised a short moderation that takes not more than 24 hours).

LiveLinkCafe.com

2009-10-02T22:43:00.012+08:00

"Your #1 Source For Instant REAL live Visitors Absolutely FREE!"

This is a new program which is good for anybody looking for free link submissions. Ian Franklin has just launched LiveLinkCafe.com two months ago - on 12/7/2009. Pretty good on the steady increase of members because the site is currently

having 140 pages with 30 links available on each page. You have to join the program before you can start submitting your link. LiveLinkCafe.com recorded an average of 947 daily page views and makes an average of $2.84 daily ads revenue without displaying any ads on its website.

Not much info on LiveLinkCafe.com through Google search and I found only one brief review available - done by DARREN BULGIN of dazbuk2000.blogspot.com. Maybe LiveLinkCafe.com is still new or it does not provide any affiliate link so far – furthermore you are only submitting your link without any returns from the web owner.

It is a great opportunity when you are having this free program and you can submit unlimited links for your promotion everyday. It only takes less than a minute for you to have a "link post" point and then submit your link.

How to get live link posts: Receive a "link post" point for every "10 links viewed"!
This is the sentence from LiveLinkCafe.com. Actually you may get the links in such few and easier ways:

1. You will receive 10 live link posts when you sign up with LiveLinkCafe.com

2. You get 3 live link posts for every FREE Sign up referral

3. Every 10 links viewed, you receive 1 "link post" point; and you will get this very fast when you click at links with x2 (double time) icon

Here how it works:

a) Normal link view gives you 1 credit
b) Normal link view with icon gives you 2 credits
c) Bold link view gives you 2 credits
d) Bold link view with icon gives you 4 credits
e) Bold link view with x2 (double time) icon gives you 5 credits

10 credits are equivalent to 1 "link post" point. In other words, you can post or submit a link if you view just 2 bold link views with x2 (double time) icon.

Vice versa, when you are interested at bold links with x2 (double time) icons; other people might also have the same interest. So make sure you add these "special features" during your link submission for even better link exposure (this is optional but highly recommended)

Each item from a) to d) comes with 7 seconds view timer while item e) comes with 15 seconds view timer – means good for impression purpose and high possibility to close a deal or to make a sale.

But make sure you carefully read on Link Posting Rules because redirecting link programs such as Linkbucks, LinkBee, Adf.ly, Adjix, LinkTurtle, or LinkMoney is not allowed.

So; if you insist to hide your actual link, just use either Offto.net; Go2-url; HotShortURL; or you may choose and get it at my Cloaking Your Affiliate URL page. I have listed down 18 link shortening / cloaking programs for you to choose and pick

Until then, have fun

Stay Clean with Ad Network Providers

2009-09-23T00:54:00.006+08:00

Care about your web site security by frequent check your web pages. This page will assist you on selecting Ad Networks besides having your own anti virus system and registry cleaner. Do you know that most popular website for virus protection (anti virus program) maybe a phishing site which is a clone website which is published on Google? Phishing is starting to scare people now.

There are also hidden malicious content through a code that redirects visitors normally from Google search results which is owned by spammers. You can hardly detect the malicious code, because it redirects only to first time visitors. Spammers can insert hundreds of hidden links to advertising web sites. As a result, any private information stored on your server such as passwords, client data, etc are exposed to hackers.

Either Badware available for download on your site; Badware available on sites that you link to; Badware distributed through ads running on your site; Badware links posted in user-generated areas of your site; or Hacking attacks to your site; all these may affect your web site such as:

• Your web site became less responsive. It takes longer to load web pages.
• You see a sudden decrease of visits from search engines.
• People find your site in search engines using absolutely irrelevant search terms.
• Your site or some particular web pages have been removed from search engines.
• Your AdSense account is blocked.

Sometimes you will receive this kind of message:

“Warning - this site has been flagged and may contain unsolicited content”; or

“Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer! The website at your own site contains elements from A site which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer”; or

“The content of this web page appears to contain spam, or links to unsolicited or undesired sites”

There are some useful tools to check on your site or any links on your site which I think is good for our daily usage:

1. Search Badware Website Clearinghouse
This program help you if you want to remove the warnings, learn about badware and website security. You can also request an independent review by StopBadware. Here everybody share their experiences with badware and StopBadware will record and spot trends and patterns on new badware producers and new forms of badware distribution. All data may be made available to the public, including nonprofits, companies, government officials, and consumers for valuable contributions to everyone’s knowledge of badware.

2. Google's Safe Browsing Diagnostic
Example: http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=empayarutamablog.blogspot.com (just replace the red bold color with the site you’re investigating)

Google independently checks the web for badware and badware-linking code, and places warnings in its own search results. Google makes a good faith effort to contact the owners and administrators of sites with Google search warnings. Google sends emails to potential site owner addresses and also notifies site owners with Webmaster Tools account. If you do not yet have a Webmaster Tools account, you can create one for free. When your site is clean and secure, you will need to “Request a Review” through Google Webmaster Tools. Just complete the form available and you may check your messages in Google Webmaster Tools for messages related to the status of your review

3. Text Link Checker Tool
I have highlighted this program earlier under Making Money With Thousand Links. Even though it can check up to 40 links at one time (you can continue checking after that), this tool is really good as a guide to assist webmasters in locating potential problem areas with their linking strategies. This tool will scan the links on your website, and on the pages that your website is linking to, and flag possible problem areas.

Other useful tools:

4. Website Security check – Unmask Parasite
5. Reveal hidden spam links

TrafficNowFire: Updates for a Debate

2009-09-16T14:46:00.017+08:00

Glad to see EliteSafelist are coming back to normal after almost 2 weeks members cannot proceed with the mailings. It is a hard time for Solomon Huey and his team in particular and really hard time for members generally.

Recently, TrafficNowFire keep on updating members with few changes. Some updates that affect and applies to free and paid members:

1. Now free members must achieve 1,000 points in order to receive their 1 link and 200 points for logging in the next following day

2. TrafficNowFire is introducing Top 10 Clickers where member who achieves the most clicks for that day will receive 250,000 points, 10 ranking points, 3 Day Paid Sponsor Link and the top clicker for that day will receive 40 shares

3. Free members also have to trade 3,000 points to add a link instead of 2,000 points earlier

4. Free members can now post up to 12 links per day and PRO members can now post up to 30 links per day

5. PRO members will now earn 0.45 shares for every link their referrals post

6. Only PRO members will be able to trade the points they've earned for shares. Free members will still be able to earn shares when you or your referrals read paid emails or purchase advertisements; compete in daily contest; and soon to come earn shares for completing premium member offers

7. If you have not subscribe to TrafficNowFire paid emails, upon subscribing you'll receive 5,000 points instantly

8. TrafficNowFire is sending not more than 5 paid emails per day with 20 seconds shown timer. These will enable members to earn lots more points and shares when reading those paid emails. Members can also purchase paid email ads for just $9.95 plus 25 shares as BONUS that members will receive with each paid email ad purchased

It makes TrafficNowFire now not much different with APSense, AdSaturation, BigKahunaClicks, People String, MoneyQuest, and WordLinx, among others.

These updates seem like benefiting both free and paid members. But it put me into a doubt when most updates are quite frequent beside paid emails received - whether members are not interested to logging in or maybe TrafficNowFire is currently in a desperate of getting more shares through new paid members joining, it is just a matter of time to know

By the way, one of Ad Networks; CPX24 already added 3 more new landing pages beside TheBigHits and OurBestHits; ie.

1. BestHitsNow;
2. MotionHits; and
3. TheHitsUSA

It means now CPX24 is having a total of 5 landing pages for you to promote. More good news is - FOR EACH VALID HIT YOU WILL EARN CASH INSTEAD OF POINTS to make your easiest and faster earnings

WidgetBucks – The Good and The Bad

2009-09-14T12:01:00.007+08:00

WidgetBucks is another Ad Network that provide you most common shopping widget that you can place on your website or blog. It is a product from Mpire Corporation, and displaying Amazon related products. You earn money every time someone clicks on it.

WidgetBucks restricted that only 3 ads can be placed on a page with 3 channel types available:
1. Shopping (with 4 types of widget style)

Different widget sizes to choose from: From 160x600 Wide Sky-

scraper, 120x600 Skyscraper, and 300x250 Medium Rectangle, and 728x90 Leaderboard plus 2 skin and variety of colors to choose to match your website. Revenue is earned on both a CPC and CPM basis.

2. Local (with 2 widget style: Black background and Blue with white background)

4 widget sizes available: 160x600 Wide Skyscraper; 160x300 Blog Sidebar; 300x250 Medium Rectangle; and 728x90 Leaderboard. Revenue is earned on a CPC basis.

Pop Up page site is automated - I received a comment telling my blog was redirected to a Yellow Pages site!

3. Travel

You have 4 options on its widget style: Travel map search; Hot deals; Destination deals; and Origin-based deals.

Widget sizes available to choose such as 728x90 Leaderboard (expandable downward or upward); 160x600 Wide Skyscraper (expandable leftward or rightward); 300x250 Medium Rectangle (also expandable leftwards or rightward). Revenue is earned on a CPC basis.

Pop Up page site is also automated.

Under its Referral Program, you will receive a 15 percent referral fee based on the commissions earned by the people you refer. You'll receive this 15 percent for the full 12 months after the new member joins

WidgetBucks makes payment through PayPal and check to accounts that have a minimum balance of $50. The payments will be approximately 45 days after the end of each month. If you haven't yet reached $50 in revenue, your payment will be held until the end of the next month in which your balance reaches or exceeds $50.

Disadvantages:

- If your site traffic comes from a country not on either the CPC or CPM country list, it does not earn revenue.

- You are not able to see the WidgetBucks PPC shopping widgets if you view your site from outside the U.S. and Canada. All traffic outside those two countries sees CPM ads. It has a list of CPC countries and CPM countries but if you are not from these CPM countries, you still cannot view your own widget!

- Placing the widget resulting your site takes a while to load on it's own. This widget really slowed up the loading time causing other things around it to slow down too. Your reader might run away from your site if they have no patience waiting your blog to fully loads

- Also, it doesn't really work for a low traffic site & definitely not meant for international users because they offer a very low CPM for international members

Still there are pros and cons review which you can view them here:

Inline Ads

2009-09-03T20:50:00.007+08:00

Inline Ads mean the advertisements within your blog’s texts. Inline Ads is a form of contextual advertising where specific words within a body of content are matched with relevant advertising content. It can be a hyperlink or redirect or small rectangle message window appeared upon mouse over on highlighted texts. Inline Ads insert text link advertisements within the content of your website, usually in the form of double-underline hyperlinks. Upon a hover of the mouse, a floating informational bubble opens with content from an advertiser. If clicked, the visitor is directed to the advertiser’s landing page and you earn advertising revenue. The bubble disappears when the mouse is moved away from the hyperlink. Most Inline Ads will be in a text-based format but all Ad Networks made the ad displays attractively with some graphical, rich media and video ads available.

Each time your website visitors click on Inline Ads, you get paid. We classified it as CPC ad. CPC stands for "cost per click" which means revenue in your account each time a CPC ad is clicked. Typically, this refers to an advertising campaign where the advertiser pays only for each click on the advertisement.

People gave negative and positive feedback on the usage of Inline Ads. Some said that Inline Ads are usually annoying and throw away visitors
- Zoli Erdos of zoliblog.com gave a negative comment about Inline Ads in general, and referring to AdBrite in particular
- iwannano1 at webmasterworld.com/google_adsense/3352382.htm wrote: “...bottom line: Inline Ads may hurt your businesses”

To me, Inline Ads are great when you want to save space on your webpage. Some advantages such as:
• Quick and easy setup without requiring additional tags, integration or layout redesign
• Ads are tightly integrated with your content - no additional space required. Therefore, they do not interfere with any other ad campaigns on your website
• Free sign up with no commitments or risk
• User triggered, less intrusive advertising that won’t distract from your site’s content
• Highly relevant Inline Ads for your site visitors with recorded high conversion rates
• Quick and easy installation with no changes to your website; does not require any additional code, Adware, or Spyware to be downloaded or uploaded.
• best of all, offers publishers another revenue source from your contents

If you want to add Inline Ads, I recommend Infolinks (purely serves Inline Ads only). But please be extra careful on choosing the rest or placing them.
Infolinks platform is open to any online publisher; big or small; with no sign up fees, hidden commitments or qualification minimums for page views or visitors. Infolinks will not overwrite existing hyperlinks on your pages. As Infolinks publisher, you will receive payments via your preferred choice of PayPal or bank wire transfer.

Additional features available at its Advanced Integration Wizard:
• Set links highlight color to match your contents
• Choose underline - Double or Single underline
• Adjustable up to 12 maximum allowed number of highlighted links per page
• You can use the On/Off HTML comment tags to determine whether a specific section in your page should or should not include the Infolinks links

Monetizing Your Website

2009-08-30T13:30:00.005+08:00

Earn revenue from your default ads

When we review Adsense Ads, focus is more on monetizing Your Website. You are taught on how to create the Adsense Ads; choose the best Ads type; the relevancy on your keywords and contents; the best place to put the ads; etc. etc.

With so many guides and advices provided, we still can see those bloggers phishing with Adsense Ads hoping to get the best Page CTR, Page eCPM and of course to get the best daily Earnings.

Google will sometimes show default ads, or Public Service Ads/Announcements (PSA) when they have no paying ads to show. Here I want to share on these PSA which is affecting your earnings.
You could be making more money by adding Alternate URL to your Adsense Ads code. If your website has or use Google Adsense to earn money, now you can increase the amount of revenue you make by replacing the unpaid default or PSA ads using Alternate URL.

Alternate URL only replaces non-paying ads. If your site through Google Adsense shows 10% PSA ads, you will simply show 10% more paying ads from Alternate URL’s advertisers. Alternate URL lets you replace those ads with paying ads. Instead, you can also use Alternate URL as your primary ad program. Your earnings are based on every click on the ads delivered (CPC).

Alternate URL currently has a Google PR of 5/10. It is owned and operated by Island Media, Ltd., a Canadian based company with more than 8,250 members as Publishers. It is a free program and you may use the code from your account to any or on as many sites as you wish. Just make sure that your sites comply with Alternate URL’s terms of service and guidelines.

Simple steps to use this Alternate URL:

Register your FREE account:
Reviews usually take less than 24 hours to process. It took me less than 2 hours for my account approved.

Generate your Alternate URL code:
Alternate URL supports all standard ad formats that provides by Google Adsense. To generate higher contextual targeting, you may enter up to five keywords related to your site; otherwise your ads will be targeted to your category that you provide during registration. You can check the value of keywords here.

Place the code as instructed:
You are given 2 ad codes for each ad types you want to generate.
The first one is for you to add your Alternate URL code inside your Google Adsense. Just go to "Ad Settings" on your Adsense account and you can find the option form to add the Alternate URL for PSA replacement.
The second code (simple JavaScript) is for you to use Alternate URL code directly as your primary text ad. You may use it as stand-alone ad unit.

Alternate URL is accepting only PayPal as payment mode. (If you still don’t have one, just click at this hyperlink to create your PayPal account. It is free to register). Payments are issued when your income reaches a minimum $50 balance. Alternate URL share 50% of the revenue received from the performing ads of your site. Based on all above advantages; it is very fair split.

Another beautiful part is, upon termination of agreement - you still entitle to all unpaid commissions earned prior to the date and hour of termination, subject to your account balance exceeding $15.

Its affiliate program enable you 10% of new member referred through your affiliate link, for the life of his or her account.

This is really a great program and I think Alternate URL is a good choice to alternate the Adsense. So to those who are looking for better alternative; or can’t register with Adsense; or even worse – banned by Adsense; you know where to go.

Squeeze Header, Squeeze Sites

2009-08-08T20:12:00.017+08:00

...Squeezing Your Head

Nowadays we are frequently come across some sites with “Join for Free; or Sign Up Free; Get (Some Rewards) Today!” as header or site title. Rewards will be in the forms of Free Leads, Free Credits, Free Money, Free Advertising, Free Referrals, Free Auto responders, etc.

1. You don’t even know what the program is all about, just depends on the ‘squeeze header’ that attracted you to go ahead and continue. And when you scroll down the page, you will find: “It's totally FREE to join!” plus a standard form box to fill up your information such as your last name, e-mail address (most important), password, password confirmation, your received payment account, etc. You blindly filling up the form as you know the program offers you something for free.

2. I’m quite phobia with this kind forms because why; I do not know you (webmaster) yet I have to give all information at an early stage. This kind of forms is filled up with auto responders (or bulk mails) that are being set up no matter you precede with the following steps or not. So what is the different with spam emails notifying you on winning some prizes worth thousands or millions of dollars but then asking you to give your details information!

3. When you are too eager to proceed, usually at the 2nd step you are being asked to fill up what are the promotion you want to submit. Here you have to submit your url or link promotion, descriptions, etc. Don’t worry, it is still free :)

4. 3rd step is the most and very interesting part: You are being asked to submit your ID on at least 3 (sometimes 5-6) programs which are already set up by the webmaster. If I translate this ID submission’s request; you are being asked to join these programs, because ‘otherwise the ‘Some Rewards - Free Offer’ won’t work properly’. Interesting huh?

5. Beautiful part comes when you go and check one by one of the programs recommended. Out of 3 (normally 5-6) programs you intend to or have to proceed – only one program is accepting you as free member! The rest are with at least ‘One time processing fee’ or with ‘one time whole life payment’ condition that you must pay ‘otherwise the ‘Some Rewards - Free Offer’ won’t work properly’. How do you feel then?

6. Happily you proceed by skipping the programs under item no 5 that I mentioned just now and promote the said program without knowing that you are carrying the auto responder set up by the webmaster together with the program you are promoting. People under you (your referrers) then will receive the same e-mails, which is directly comes from the webmaster side.

7. Look at your time spending this process from the first you read the squeeze header. How much you waste your time for then just to delete or skip the whole process and offer? Worst part is; the auto responder from webmaster already runs because you have taken the early step by registering your particular details (check your e-mail address). Some webmasters are smarter when they send confirmation link to you email address before you can proceed with next step of action. They call it ‘Free newsletter subscription’ and from here they are capturing your IP address. Pity on us…

8. Either you proceed or not, everyday you are receiving unwanted emails from those programs that you initiated. Best scenario when you blindly ‘white list’ the sender’s addresses and your mailbox are fully loaded with true spam mails!

My advice is, be extra careful when you go for these kind of offer. Check the disclaimer, carefully read the privacy policy and read the FAQ if you can possibly access it. If you still want to proceed by ignoring the time spent browsing those programs or offers, register one special email address for that purpose, not revealing your e-mail address so you don't unwittingly agree to share confidential information.

Making Money With Thousand Links

2009-07-27T19:00:00.006+08:00

Another food for thought…

Few people asked - Empayar, are you really making money through links promoted? This is a very subjective question to answer as we have to look at every corner and perspective instead. Worst part if you are using blog, it can disappear anytime

1. I agreed that I have lots of links through my posts with relevancy on a single posting made. Some with affiliate links, some not. I don’t want to mix url redirection programs review together with safe lists review under one page as an example

2. Reviews need us to be part of the program itself, otherwise we cannot make in deep review. The posting will only be ‘cut and paste’ job. By joining these programs you can list down their advantages and disadvantages; whether it is good to be promoted or not. I can say that anybody can write bad things about a program; not necessary good things as well

3. Most of my postings here are on information basis; not really promoting one two sites. I may categorize it as Personal blog. And if you go through the pages, the contents are towards Traffic Generating followed by Ad Networks with a little SEO advice that I get, learn and share together. I’m focusing Traffic Generating and Ad Networks because this is the base before getting any sales when promoting something. By submitting to some good places to generate traffic, you earn some tokens through Ads displayed. Pretty good enough, isn’t it?

4. I want to have a link on ‘my success stories’ but through search made, I found that it is not advisable to ever disclose on places where you earn such money and how much is your earnings. So, I am quite doubtful on the webmasters (product owners) advertising some programs with ‘proof’ or ‘evidence’ through Clickbank’s statement, PayPal or AlertPay statements. Majority of us only have the earnings evidence through ‘not a get-rich-quick’ programs

5. I made some earnings through my landing pages last year (2008) and you can see that I still keep them through my Free Advertising Solution. But I noticed that those products (most of them are digital products) hot only at the early stage of their publishing. As and when there are more new niches out with lots of improvements and we have to adapt these changes. Some niche products cannot last long

6. Due to that I have compiled my landing page collections under one blog: Earn Money with 4 sub titles. This is for my easy managing my blogs. Currently I only have 7 blogs with main anchor portal is The Money Site. Currently I am still working for 2 new blogs which is not yet published

7. Some people said that it is good to have 50, 100 blogs or websites if you are really playing with Ads but then can you manage these tons of sites you own? Through my experience, (formerly I have 30 over blogs) not much improvement on impressions or clicks you get with those sites if the niche programs you published is too related with each other

8. Talking about so many links under one post, I have a very bad experience on 14/7/09 where Google penalized my blog. Thanks to Pamela (Lola) of www.dogecho.com who gave a very good advice on asking me to check all links at www.bad-neighborhood.com. It took me 4 days to clear the mess and I’m lucky to get back the Page Rank. As a result, most of my fans’ links been deleted due to reorganizing my blog

9. It is also good to have your site register at www.freewebsubmission.com (which I have done it earlier) because you will be notified on any irregular actions occurred. I’m yet to join her Free SEO mentoring at www.workathomehome.info and I wish to join it soon

To webmasters and bloggers, take this advice: even you are happy getting backlinks from comments you received, please as well check those links at www.bad-neighborhood.com before your blog being penalized by Google

Increasing Your Unique Hits

2009-07-15T10:08:00.019+08:00

The other way round on increasing traffic

On my previous postings, I have written few ways on getting traffic which can potentially bring sales to your product/s through your affiliate link/s. From safelists (credit and non credit based [email marketing]); ad submitters; FFA pages; link/url submissions to certain programs and web submissions (classified; search engines; directories); social sites (I will detail it in next review); forums; hosting your own program; banner exchanges; manual and auto submitter traffic exchanges; and recently through ping service providers.

Here you are exposed to another place which I think really great on increasing your traffic hits, particularly on getting unique hits. Majority of us gave negative view and report these programs as scam sites but I am looking at it from the other point of view. So I split these programs to 4 categories and let you decide then. Appreciate if you can drop some comments to this post.

1. Unique hits from bux sites

Besides clicking ads to earn some passive income, these programs also provide traffic exchange for you. You can see it under Account Panel - Advertising Balance Statistics column: Traffic Exchange Credits. Best about these programs is - the points you collected (to enable your site being viewed) is separated from your monetary earnings. You can accumulate these points at Earning Area – Traffic Exchange. It allows you to click for unique traffic rather than cash. When you click, you will receive a 5/4 ratio, meaning you will get 4 unique hits for every 5 links you click. Add your links at Manage Ads and choose Traffic exchange ads. Some programs need to validate your site before enabling it. You get a minimum 10 seconds timer on unique view, same as what you did to the rest of sites there.

Recommended programs:

a. Clicksia with 48,517 Members and keep on increasing everyday
b. Incentria with 33,129 Members, also increasing everyday
c. BigKahunaClicks with 261,127 current Members

d. PTC-Monster. It is a new site and currently having 795 Members

Three other categories below are different from the first one where you are collecting or accumulating monetary value by viewing other sites. These programs are using the same concept like Credit Point Based Safelists and Manual Surf Traffic Exchange sites. I agree when monetary value is being used because in normal practice, any advertising packages should be paid when you act as advertiser. Beautiful part here is you are not paying the ads by your own money but the price is deducted from amount you have already collected. You can choose which advertising packages that suit you based on the monetary amount you have:

Paid to Click - You may submit 468 x 60 banner ads which will last until the purchased number of clicks has been reached; either to 500 or 1,000 PTC with different value based on display timer These are UNIQUE VISITORS as each user may click only ONCE per banner ad. Really good on advertising Paid To Promote (PTP) links.

Paid e-Mail - Monetary value offered to members who read the e-mail also depends on display timer. Certain programs offer a shared e-mail on lower amount. You may put your affiliate banner or other banner inside the text ad for impression purpose.

Banner Impressions Advertising - Your banner inserted into banner rotation on the top of each page of the website. The Program will determine how much the cost on your desired banner impressions. This is really good for affiliate links and PTP Pages

More members inside the program give higher sales potential if you are promoting affiliate program. But if you choose Paid to Click or Banner Impressions Advertising, please also consider the number of Ads in Rotation.

Ping Your Site...

2009-07-10T12:13:00.016+08:00

Every time you add fresh new contents to your site
The #1 Indexing Method, really good for getting traffic!

A ping (Packet Inter-Network [Internet] Groper) is a way of notifying major search engines that your blog has been updated. More places you ping, higher chances you receive traffic from those sources. It will drive some traffic back to your blog. It will also help your latest post get crawled and indexed faster by search engines as they will find your post faster. With Ping service, you can get your new blog posts indexed within hours!

Ping sites give the service on updating different search engines that your blog has new fresh content. This concept is similar to website url submission to most search engines with the different is on the newly updated content published at your blog for pinging, publishing your blog contents, and increasing your blog's popularity. Majority these ping sites do not require you to register with them and you can simply fill up your blog or site name, your url with an optional ‘feed/RSS’ before pressing the ping button.

Unlike Wordpress that provides ping list to ease their users, Blogspot does not allow users create a ping list on your blog. But it is ok to go to only few recommended ping service providers once you have a new post or have updated your post. Each ping services will forward your blog to plenty search engines and blog directories. If you don’t want duplication pings, just copy the list from each ping services to notepad and you can unmark which site/s you have already ping earlier (eg. technorati which is listed at all ping service provider. Pinging the same url few times on a same day to the same site might result the site think you are spamming!)

Cloaking Your Affiliate URL

2009-05-29T11:50:00.022+08:00

The Affiliate’s Secret Weapon
TEST YOUR LINK before doing any promotion with it

Reason we have these tiny URL providers are for shortening long URLs. Traditional practice on promoting any products is through email but yet these URLs have to break causing recipient have to cut and paste it back. Thanks to those initiate the tiny URL program in which they are also improving it to be more practical such as

- create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings, easy to use
- keep your tiny URL forever and never expires
- cloak / hide your affiliate link
- get a complete history, real-time stats, and saved preferences
- keeping track of who accesses them
- easy to remember, look nicer and choices of URL names

To those affiliates who are looking for URL program that really can cloak your affiliate link, please read all programs reviewed here because not all providers really cloak your URL link. I’m using exitsplash.com to do the test because I can add my ‘empayarutama’ name at the end of the program (but I’m not an affiliate). So I can say my affiliate link is http://www.exitsplash.com/?hop=empayarutama

1. (Google PR = 3/10) The Affiliate’s Secret Weapon (free link cloaker)

It promised on cloaking your URL so this saves you lost commissions from the visitors you send seeing that there's an affiliate program, signing up, and purchasing through their own link instead of yours. No need for you to open an account even though it is an affiliate program. It has a traffic exchange inside the program; gives you an option to put nickname at the end of URL and new web title to display; and you also can choose either to hide links or not.
Most members who joined OffTo.net are affiliates and Internet marketers, so I don’t think you are getting good traffic hits inside the program and it’s better for you to just create an OffTo.net only for cloaking your affiliate link. If you are promoting your own webpage, it’s not advisable to cloak it especially when you already got Google PR because by doing this, you are creating a NEW site.

If you bookmarked my page or want to check it out without leaving this page, you can access the program HERE (don’t worry, I am not using affiliate link):

[Get A Free Account] | [Earn Free Traffic from OffTo.net]
[Login To Your Account]

Result: Impressed, it cloaked and displays only cloaked link at my browser box with new title on the page.

2. Go2-URL.com (Google PR = 3/10) The Ultimate Redirection Technology

The site belongs to Todd Thompson, CEO Royal Responder, Inc. located in Broomfield, CO USA; operated since October, 2003. You are subject to create an account before use the facility provided and you can put new web title to display. It has an affiliate link as well.

Result: Great, it cloaked and displays only cloaked link at my browser box with new title on the page.

3. HotShortURL.com (Google PR = 0/10) A 100% FREE URL SHORTENING, TRACKING & WEBSITE ROTATOR SERVICE!

You are subject to create an account to use the program and your FREE account allows you to Shortern Unlimited URLs

Result: Good, it cloaked and displays only cloaked link at my browser box but on the top of site it displays some ads

4. TinyURL.com (Google PR = 4/10) Making long URLs usable! More than 240 million of them. Over 2 billion hits/month.

No account required; you can use it at anytime and in actual fact, it really shortening you long URL with optional Custom alias at the end of your tiny URL.

Result: It didn’t cloak and displays original URL before we made it tiny, and can be seen at browser box

5. bit.ly (Google PR = 6/10) A simple url shortener

You are not required to have an account but with an account, you can get a complete history, real-time stats, and saved preferences. It ease you to make a post to Twitter because linked to it

Result: It didn’t cloak and displays original URL before we made it tiny, and can be seen at browser box

Updated 30/6/09:

Still, more choices for you to choose here:

There are few out there but I’m not recommending them here due to they seem like phishing with Google Ads.

To all Affiliates: Have Fun

Unlimited Submissions: A Comparison

2009-05-25T10:39:00.017+08:00

Refresh page by clicking [Home] button or reload page tab and you can see your ‘Today's earnings’ under ‘Your daily limit’ increased as a proof that your link/s has been viewed. No movement means no click! Pretty Good…

Shocked for a while when I find out Vinefire pulled out some of the features it have; resulting I have to redirect my posting back to my earlier post: What A Good Site. Luckily the "live banner" that shows my daily figures is still active. So I decided to browse Google to find out more info on Vinefire. Listed down here some of the comments that are useful to everybody:

1. On 14/3/09; stopscammers, Senior Member of www.scam.com wrote on the waste of referring new free member.
My personal view: I would like to say that these people increase the number of visitors who make the contribution on clicking the available links which is good for everybody.

2. Website Review made by PlantingShepherd of www.shvoong.com on 23/3/09 said Vinefire is a scam site, the same owner of Wealthtoolbox. So, WealthToolbox.com now redirects to Vinefire.com!

3. Anonymous on 2/4/09 at scamscan.blogspot.com said: “Just think about it most safelists have around 900 members here you have millions of members promoting their sites”

4. By ptcwatch on 4/4/09 (www.bukisa.com/articles/56636_is-vinefire-a-scam): “Posting their personal or website link increased the number of visitors visiting their sites… Payment is not a question, if vinefire will pay and that's a bonus”

5. An article from articlesbase.com/business-articles/vinefire-review-884957.html dated 24/4/09: “The fact is that Vinefire had always been planning to be bought over by a large company. The transaction money will then be used to pay all amounts owed to members. All members are supposed to get paid with money collected from the sale of Vinefire to a larger company. As history has proven, acquisitions of such companies usually require millions of dollars to complete. This website has never planned to raise cash to pay out to all members who join up. Instead, its aim is to grow itself into a more and more valuable asset for another bigger company to buy. Every new member that joins Vinefire makes the site a bigger and bigger network that will eventually become appealing enough for another corporation to raise capital to purchase”

6. Author of profilesblog.com wrote on how Vinefire will pay a big amount to the very least 30,000 unique visits per day.
I look at the numbers and I am of the opinion that of course at present Vinefire is having more than that numbers of members thus, it is a good place for me to submit all my links everyday for free, especially my PTP links.

7. Anonymous at answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090331103406AA9nz4m wrote: “It's fun though... :) At least, those clicking your links can at least give you free traffic. ;)”

8. Dawson Bill of goarticles.com wrote: “This website has grown tremendously in its membership database and its growth is much faster than what the site owners had been expecting. As a webmaster who has tried posting my ads on the Vinefire site, I have gotten very good traffic results from it and I personally know that it really works to generate good traffic. The owners of the site have reported an exponential increase in the number of visitors and members of their site, generating thousands of clicks on the links every day”

9. Reach at scamscan.blogspot.com; on 6/5/09 wrote: “Conclusion is its great to have free traffic. So milk it as much as u can for it…. So, just try to use it for free traffic and enjoy the traffic and spread the same to the world…”

I’m looking all these from the other point of view. So I start my study for a week by pulling away all autosurf, manual surf and safelists just to get statistic on visitors from Vinefire and my StatCounter shows these figures:

GREAT! I am getting an average of 117 Unique Visitors daily! solely from my Home Business Reviews! How about the rest of my links?

Then, let us look at a similar program, which somebody said “Better than Vinefire“. This program is called TrafficNowFire. Agreed that TrafficNowFire has too many features and advantages where you really get paid for using the site. Looking at free member prospect: You earn 1 link for logging in everyday, can trade 2000 points to add 1 link and can post a max of 8 links per day beside can hold/reach a max of 50,000 points in your account per day; complete offers to earn 25,000 points for each offer you successfully sign up for (Meaning if you completed 2 Offers for a day, that’s it. No other things you can do including clicking and voting for links); I can say that these are disadvantages on your traffic exchange. But it is still a good place to submit max 8 of your main links for traffic exchange in return!

Comparing to another sites such as CashTextAds, KashTextAds and ClassAct.jag-host where you can post daily ads, subject to earn some points first before submitting your link/s. You are allowed to post max only 5 ads per day! Without support from members email/admin email sent to your mailbox, a maximum point you may gain is 40 points max, or 4 cent per day. If you want to accumulate it till $3.00 for withdrawal entitlement (without any referral) it will take you 300 days (almost a year) without posting any ads/links for traffic exchange purpose. Why? Because every time your link is visited, 1 point will be deducted. If within 24 hours your link been clicked 40 times, just call it a day. You gained 0 point at the end of the day. Worst part is out of $3.00 withdrawal, 10% (or 30 cent) become webmaster site income. This 30 cent is equivalent to your 30 days working with the program.

These sites make no different with the rest of bux sites such as Clicksia and Incentria, but the traffic exchange points for advertising at Clicksia and Incentria is separated from your earnings, have PTP links, allows you to submit your links based on points available without touching your daily earnings beside make an earning at low payout which is only $1.00. These are Good Traffic Exchange programs and I highly recommend them.

Forget about monetary items, just look at traffic exchange benefit. Beautiful part of Vinefire is you can do advertising for free no matter as a free member or paid member. And unlimited links everyday, at any time! You may add a link each every minute.

I can conclude that this program is really giving us a free traffic daily. I still can submit whatever links I have, especially on promoting PTP links/pages! Treat the dollar value allocated as your hit counter where if you refresh the “Home” button, you can see the 0.02 amount on voting increase or not, and from there you know your link/s have been hit. I’m satisfied enough when my Adsense ads also been clicked from this site, so does all to my CPM Banner Ads earnings.

Additional Revenue with PrePopAds

2009-05-14T15:59:00.020+08:00

During my daily browsing, I’m quite impressed with Prepopads Network which has just launched in less than one month. Not much info gathered on Prepopads.com Publishers Network but it is one of Advertising company that meant for Publisher. I would like to categorize it under Banner Ad Network where it gives us another opportunity on generating additional revenue by displaying Banner Ads and purely counts through CPM.

Prepopads displays rotation ads without refreshing our page. No information on the list of its Advertisers but common ads comes from SocialBidSystem, and mostly displaying Travian Ads. It just recently being ranked by Google with 0 Page Rank and Alexa stands at 252,404. Not bad at all for a new Ad Network with less than a month!

Associated with BlueAdvertise, it is origin Czech Network base with some threads can be found at their forum posts at czemoney forum and few forums such as trade-travel.com - prepopads.com, globalfriendsonline.com - board=119, globalfriendsonline.com - topic=4635, digitalpoint.com forums - t=1322095#post11270099, and digitalpoint.com forums - t=1319750.

Your revenue is calculated purely based on impressions or CPM (around $0.15/CPM to $0.70/CPM: I will update this info later) with a 10 - 20 days new month payout of $10 minimum through PayPal. Once you register, you can straight away log in and your Publisher's Dashboard is in front of you.

Various Ad types are available from Full screen PPAds (Classical pop ads windows), Prepopped PPAds, to Banner Ads (available size of 468 x 60, 728 x 90, 120 x 600 and 300 x 250). Beautiful part is Prepopads also have the code for Blogger insertion and we can paste the code at our posting as well, just like other Ad Networks ads. But remember if you use Prepopads; you are allowed to put ONLY one Prepopped PPAds or PPAds per page; or maximum two Banner Ads per page.

Through its Impression Level page [Impressions details by country and level (eIpv)], there are 7 levels - currently servicing 41 countries and you can see what level of impressions you stands at and where impressions and levels come from.

You may have a try on this program as another alternative to what you are having now, or for those who are still looking for suitable Banner Ads to be added into your website/s for your passive income. So far it just seems to have loaded clean ads.

Still, more choices on generate additional revenue through Banner Ads from Ad Networks are listed down here. All programs are free to join. Amount in bracket is the minimum payout for Publisher. So check them out:

Free Tool to Check Who Is Linking to Your Website!

Free Advertising

2009-05-11T02:56:00.012+08:00

Amongst the favorite program that I log in everyday is LinkReferral. I learn a lot from threads posted from the forum. LinkReferral is a perfect program ever where you can join either as free or paid member (I am still a free member) with referral program; with or without website; act as Traffic Exchange, Search Engine/Directory, Classified Programs, Social Site; having lots of promotional tools such as text ads, review widget, banners; and much more.

I have touched a little bit on LinkReferral on my previous postings. One thing that I observed - LR is using Adbrite Ads resulting pages download will take times. But I learn on how LinkReferral arranged its Adbrite Ads till all ads seems like part of the website contents! Same advised given by the famous Google Adsense.

Here I want to share with you on the ratings and related issues that might affect your ranking positions through comments/reviews received. Joined LinkReferral on 11/08/2008; and submit my blog under money making opportunities and Sub Category: Information, I am not active since then until January 2009. I only active for the past 4 months. Happily as a free member, my page hits are at the range of 450-500 per month, referred 256 new visitors so far, have quite good A Rating and currently got 9.11 (out of 10) average received reviews. Statistic given by the site: Average page hits/day (this month): 12.67 per day.

Best about its forum, LinkReferral didn’t ban you on your thread/s. You can post whatever you want to. As and when, your site is being reviewed by other members and these reviews can be on specific postings, overall contents, your website layout, on the product/s you are promoting, or anything that members want to comment. You will receive honest and pleasant reviews, funny reviews, or some time quite sarcastic one, with thumbs symbol like this:

= Good

= Satisfactory

= Needs work

One of the reviews received after I made a review on Vinefire was from Mustafa of fastpayout.blogspot.com on 23-04-2009: “I've read their FAQ and find about payment delay until January 2010, if someone buy their site. Do you ever read this? Or may be they've changed their TOS and start paying already?”. This is the rating he gave me:

Sharing with you all; these 2 reviews I put them under private because the comments threatened people from viewing my blog after reading these comments.

A. First one came from James of jsmoneymaker.com on 04-03-2009: “Your website looks as if could do with more work on it. The templates you have chosen don't fit for what you want” with results as follow:

Again here I advised on checking with Google Safe Browsing Diagnostic page: http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=empayarutamablog.blogspot.com (just replace the red bold color with the site you’re investigating, especially when you suspect whether a website has been serving up malware or not)

Another thing to consider before proceeding with any new post:

1. Get assistance from other LinkReferral members to check on all post pages by posting a thread to the forum once new posting made to get their feedback.

2. Test using Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome for result comparison.

3. Get a Registry Cleaner. I’m using WinASO and CCleaner

4. I’m also using Free Web Monitoring System to update me.

One of funny reviews came from Amar of lamaamar26.blogspot.com on 13-03-2009 after I posted The Marketplace Empire (disadvantages of Clickbank through its Accounting Policy; and gave 7 alternatives): He wrote “It is all about the citi bank clicks and improving to make more and more money ...” with the following results:

Amongst good and honest reviews I received are:

1. From Patrick of MyOwnSouthFlorida.com, on 15-08-2008: “Some of your information is useful, but your page is not well organized. The name does not make any sense to me either. Maybe get rid of some ads on the side, ad some color, put some links etc...”

2. From Michael of upwardlifestyle.com, on 05-05-2009: “Great looking site with a lot of helpful info. As a relative newcomer to the online business world, I will definitely spend some time checking out your recommendations. My only thoughts: Clean up the main page a bit. The ads are scattered a bit and the heading doesn't show up very cleanly in Firefox. Second, consider abbreviating your articles on the main page so we can see a few more clearly. I think this site is great! Keep up the good work...”

3. From Rex of muscle.twittermethis.net, on 04-05-2009: “Most of the review sites I see online are just pitches... this one actually incorporated some though, much appreciated and nicely done!”

4. From Tim of GenieUnlimitedBiz.com, on 15-04-2009: “For starters your template is offset so your side bar is over hanging the main body. Fix that and your site will be looking great...”

5. From Doug of seafoodfacts.blogspot.com, on 06-04-2009: “Well done site and a good job of actually explaining programs rather than just throwing up a bunch of links and banners on a page. Very useful site for beginning marketers... ”

My conclusion is, postings/contents play very important role in creating awareness and attraction; so does the layout. Receiving peoples review and comments on your site is really good on improving your site to be more appealing because people are looking at your presentations.

Unique Traffic Exchange

2009-05-05T13:12:00.010+08:00

I have waited for almost 2 weeks but it seems like MeBudie still affected by malware so I decided to pull out my review on MeBudie until the site clear the mess.
Warm regards - Empayarutama

Another Unique Traffic Exchange that I found and want to share with you all is TrafficStorm4U.nique traffic exchange, TrafficStorm4U

The surfing ratio is 3:2; maximum 3 urls allowable with 9 to 12 Seconds Timer on its surfing. Why I said ‘Unique’, because even though it is extremely easy to join with only 3 urls allowed, it is really hard to get your url listed. The protection by its Hits Connect System did not allow even one of my blogs to be there!

Make Money: With A Website (good for newbie)

2009-04-12T23:37:00.012+08:00

Earn Money With A Website (or create a website now)

What you may have is; later you will have a website with your banner on the header, a simple posting (we call here sales letter) and a side layout comprising all programs you join. In addition, you can monetize your website by adding Ad Network Banner or Text Ads plus some Banner Exchange Programs for your website submission. I’ll explain these later

1. Creating a free website

Easy program is Blogger.com, then just choose ‘Minima’ template - where you have a posting section, header (for placing your banner), side bar (to put your links) and a footer space (for additional features). Basic guide: Go to ‘Setting’, click ‘Basic tag’ - put your Web Title and save. At ‘description’, put your banner (I will explain later). Go to ‘Posting’; put what ever title you desire. You can see ‘Edit html’, so just copy and paste what you want to put as your posting.

Remember Prospect Response? Ok, at Post This Review In Your Blog you can see two ready made Web Site Review 1 and Web Site Review 2. Just copy these two Reviews and paste to your posting column. Now you have a posting!

If you click Pay Per Click link, you can find almost 70 keywords (supposed to be used for Pay Per Click submission) that you can choose best 20 or maximum 200 words to put at 'Labels for this post' column. Then click Compose to view what you just posted and you can modify it from compose page. If you satisfied, click Publish Post. So can see your website is basically complete with a title header and a posting.

At Layout, choose Add A Gadget on your right side, choose ‘link list’. Put “My Links, Links or whatever title you want to put. Key in your link programs at ‘new site url’ and put your desire title. Click Add link. Repeat this process until you finish key in all link programs you want to key in and then click save. Click View your blog.

Go to Free Banner Maker to create and get a free banner for your header (normal size is 728x90). Don’t forget to create a 468x60 banner for Banner Exchange program. Go back to your Blogger.com and open your blog, at Setting – paste your banner code to ‘description’ and save it. View your blog. You are having a complete blog with a title, your blog identification banner, a posting and a set of link list. Satisfied?

2. Monetizing your website.

Most people use Google Adsense (text ad or banner ad) but you can start with AdJungle (pays upon reaching $20) or CPM-Traffic (pays upon reaching $25). Get the details from my Banners Make Money Pt 2 and More Banners Make Money post pages. These programs are easy to be approved for newly setup blog. Put 120x600 or 160x600 Banner Ad on the top right of your blog (at ‘Layout’, click Add A Gadget on your right side and choose ‘HTML/JavaScript’ and paste the code given). Put another banner at footer (468x60 or 728x90 if you wish to). Don’t forget you have AutoSurfMax Banner to put at footer as well – this banner give you additional credits to your AutoSurfMax account every time it displays.

3. Where to submit your blog?

a. Just go to my More Traffic From Search Engines post page and submit to the list as much as you can. You can send to 10 places each day and you may submit once only, unless you have new posting later on; then you may resubmit your site again.

Some programs will ask you to put reciprocal links at your blog before submission. So place the code either at the bottom right side layout or at the footer page.

As for the rest of submissions, just follow my earlier Without Any Website process. Don't forget my Simple Tips on the side bar

b. Banner Exchange Programs

Here you have to use your 468x60 free banner that you have created from Free Banner Maker just now. Submit your blog url together with banner source (src) to FreeFollowUp, WorldBannerExchange, QuietHits Banner Exchange and Clickmyad. You may put these codes at the bottom of your footer blog.

c. Join this social site aka forum aka search engines and you will receive 500 unique hits every month. Advantages joining LinkReferral: You spend about 45 minutes viewing at least 30 sites, reviewing 5 sites and actively participating at the forums; no email to post; no bundles of e-mails to your mail box, no manual surfing to collect credit points; and you will learn a lot from LR Forums.

End of my ‘Free e-Book’. Count your total links and programs, how much you spend? "0" Cost! So, what’s next?

Everyday, what you have to do is; Log in to those Making Money Programs you joined, after counting out Prospect Response; runs your auto surf programs from another window to get more hits/traffic; and participate (about 45 minutes) in LinkReferral; and as and when just log in to your Ad Network program/s to see your earning progress.

This is your financial freedom, you are spending the most one and half hour browsing; maybe adding another 1 hour for small blog touch up. The rest is up to you, still lots of places for getting traffic and make money. Happy blogging.
