PTSU.net review

Earn $1,000,000 in e-gold
Or so this site claims. In fact this site which has been arround for 8 months or so is simply an elaborate online pyramid scheme. The site, which is written to an extremely poor standard of English, leading me to believe the American information in the WHOIS is fake, offers a 'free signup', but to get anything out of the program you have to upgrade to a Silver membership for $3.70 (USD).
To earn you then have to drag your friends and anyone else naive enough to believe the yarns this site weaves into the scheme. Members are paid $1 for referring a new member to the project from their link, and they also earn $0.20 for an additional 13 referral levels (levels 2-14). The $1 million figure which is the main claim of the site is reached by suggesting that after you have referred 3 people, each member in your downline will referr 3 members and so on and so forth, leaving you with $1,434,892.80 on level 14, (the first level which would earn you $1M supposing everyone recruits 3 more people into the scam). However to do this you will need a whopping 7,174,452 members in your downline, yes you read that right - over 7 Million people will need to be in your downline.
That just ain't going to happen, so when this site claims you can 'easily earn $1,000,000' they are lying out of their backside.
Take my advice, steer clear - this is just another pyramid scheme where the man at the top takes money from investors and is laughing all the way to the bank.

Uniclear problem


Uniclear Problems?

As of October 20, 2006, Uniclear (the payment processors) still hasn't sorted out their financial troubles. The site is "Under New management"
Uniclear notice:

- We are no longer accepting personal account applications.
- We are no longer accepting new debit card applications.
- We are no longer accepting funds for credit to personal accounts.

In other words, they aren't doing anything until they get their banking transfer problems straightened out.

Surfjunky review - Autosurf scam


Surfjunky review - Autosurf scam

SurfJunky offer:

- Earn Up To $.75 Per Hour!
- Get Paid For 3 Levels Of Referrals!
- Earn Money Joining FREE Websites!
- Payments Sent On The 15th Of Every Month!


Simply, Surf Junky is a website which pays members to visit other web sites through their “surf bar”. The user is required to visit the page for 30 seconds before being forwarded to another paid page. Surf Junky claims they will pay between $0.45 and $0.75 cents per hour of surfing.

How is it a scam? Simply put, you are supposed to get paid to surf. Surfjunky.com however does not and will never pay you. So to reach their minimum $25 payout, you need to surf for 55.5 hours. You work for almost 56 hours and get paid nothing. If this is not a scam I don’t know what is.How do you know it is a scam? Well first off the mathematics behind the site are simply impossible.
The site charges advertisers using the following pay schedule:

* 100,000 Visitors - $29.95 250,000 Visitors - $59.95 500,000 Visitors - $99.95
* 1,000,000 Visitors - $189.95


These are the ACTUAL rates obtained from the surfjunky.com website
http://www.surfjunky.com/advertising/index.php

Let’s just start with the minimum amount of 100,000 visits for about $30.00. So that means an advertiser is paying approximately $0.0003 per visit... right? ($30/100 000)

Now a member of surfjunky.com gets paid $0.45 per hour of surfing. The member can surf a maximum of 120 pages per hour (Each page must be viewed for 30 seconds, no multiple windows are allowed. So that is 2 pages per minute, 60 minutes per hour, which equals 120 visits per hour MAX)

Are you still following? Good!

Now go back to our advertising rate of $0.0003 per visit. Multiply this by 120 visits. That means that for 120 visits to his/her website a webmaster is paying ONLY $0.036.

So the advertiser is paying $0.036, or just under four cents, for every 120 visitors to his/her website. However, surfjunky.com is suppose to be paying its members $0.45, or 45 cents, per 120 pages visited.

That means either,

1) surfjunky.com is the worst business in the world and is planning on taking a loss $0.414 or 1250% for every hour a visitor surfs

or

2) surfjunky.com is a scam site that never intends on paying its users.

To further amplify this loss consider this. Once a user reaches the minimum $25 payout, surfjunky.com has only made $1.99 from that user (they make $0.036 per hour times 55.5 hours to reach payout of $25). So surfjunky.com is actually taking a loss of $23.01 per payout.

So with a loss of $23 per user. Multiplied by approximately 500,000 registered users at last count, surfjunky.com will be recording a loss of $11,500,000 once members reach payout.

Now I don’t want to seem to be over exaggerating because it hurts my credibility. So let’s assume only 1 in 10... no 1 in 100... no wait 1 in 1000 users actually make it to payout without cheating, getting bored and stopping, etc. The company will still be taking a loss of $15,000 each payout cycle. That is a loss of $15,000 EACH and EVERY month!

So even if surfjunky.com fully intends on paying all users, and does not want to be a scam, the fact of the matter is paying them is impossible! It just won’t happen! They will go bankrupt before 1 payout is made

MoreThanTraffic.com - next scam?

Too good to be real?

News about this incredible offer.

MoreThanTraffic.com offer:
- $100,000+ in next 4 months
- payment after result:)
- charge for hosting, domain and traffic generating software ($170-800)
- the site has professional design with https (SSL certificate)

My opinion:
- $170-800 is very small reward for promised $100,000+
- site is very similar to former fraudulent website - Monopolizer.com (similar promises, similar commission, similar amounts, similar rude answers....)
- they lie about Paypal support (such us Monopolizer did) because everybody knows PayPal has very strong antiscam policy.
- missing owner info

I can tell: it seems this is the next internet scam.

Dedicated hosting, paid hosting or free webhosting?

This can be crucial question. Dedicated hosting offers great protection but this solution can be a little expensive.
FREE hosting is not absolutely free because nothing is absolutely free.


Which one web hosting is the best for me? Yahoo hosting or some free service?

Quick overview:

Dedicated hosting:
- DDOS, worms, viruses, hackers protection
- Remote control
- HIGH connectivity, bandwidth, monitoring, statistics, etc. included
Price: USD60-USD200+ per month

Shared paid hosting:
- affordable solution for many websites
- different providers offer different bonuses: stats, scripts, pluggins, etc...
- not so secure solution as dedicated hosting
- usually FREE domain if you pay for one or more years
Price: USD3-20+ per month

FREE web hosting:
- you do not pay for similar service but hosting provider will place his advert on your site
- very low bandwidth
- you risk your site will be off because no visitors (not shown banners) or because too many visitors (crossed bandwidth limit)
- low uptime

Recommended hosting companies:

11.95/month - Yahoo hosting
Google hosting??? (future)
7.95/month - iPowerWeb hosting

Tip: common paid hosting can be suitable for many websites. Dedicated hosting is the best solution for ecurrency, investment, insurance, data collecting and similar websites.
FREE hosting? I recommend for testing / learning purpose only. Search for reviews on the internet.

Invest with MicroSoft

My favorite Microsoft joke: Did you hear about the Microsoft Windows programmer who died?
He found himself in front of a committee that decides whether you go to Heaven or Hell.
The committee told the programmer he had some say in the matter and asked him if he wanted to see Heaven and Hell before stating his preference.
"Sure," he said, so an angel took him to a place with a sunny beach, volleyball, and rock and roll, where everyone was having a great time.
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "Heaven is great!"
"Wrong," said the angel. "That was Hell. Want to see Heaven?"
"Sure!" So the angel took him to another place. Here a bunch of people were sitting in a park playing bingo and feeding dead pigeons.
"This is Heaven?" asked the Windows programmer.
"Yup," said the angel.
"Then I'll take Hell." Instantly he found himself plunged up to his neck in red-hot lava, with the hosts of the damned in torment around him. "Where's the beach? The music? The volleyball?" he screamed frantically to the angel.
"That was the demo," she replied as she vanished.

Stormpay news

The latest Stormpay news:
Stormpay will offer only auction and PTC services? It seems this "famous" online payment processor has paused all services related to money transfers. Everybody remember mlm, hyip, autosurf, online funds account were frozen by Stormpay during last winter. It was without doubt very profitable step for this ecurrency processor.

I have to ask myself: what can be next step?

"To educate, amuse and enrich"

I must admit they are right.

This site is my favorite business info source.

financial quotes, foolish investment forecasts, stock info, financial calculators, forex tips and more.

AdBlaster - 5000 visitors per hour?

Description: "(Software and online blasters available !) AdBlaster submits automatically and instantly to over 1000 Advertising Networks and 2,500,000+ Websites and Engines across the net, day after day, throughout the year! New Version 2.0 -Completely updated for 2006!- Get 5000 Hits To Your Website Per Hour!"
You can read tons of similar praising comments and reviews over the Internet.
Producer: Megapromoter.com
Price: $49,95
Trial download: Softpedia (5 program starts limitation)
My experience: 5000 hits per hour? It will be great if i will get 10% of promised visitors:) I tested trial version from Softpedia. System is a little chaotic but real problem is advertising database:) some of pages simply dont exist, some need paid membership, others are simply FFA farms.
Result: not 100%, not 10%, not even 1% of promised effect.
My personal opinion: if you buy this SW, you risk you will lose your money, you will lose your time, you will ruin your page rank, you will ruin your reputation.
Tip1: if you are serious - hire experienced SEO freelancer or try PPC networks (Google Adwords, Overture, ABC Search...)
Tip2: reviews with affiliate link are not good reference source

12DailyPro - Investment empire-power, glory, fall

12 Daily Pro.com - short history of fallen moneymaking empire.

Spring 2005 - 12dp is opening. Just another autosurf program on the moneymaking scene.

Summer - autumn 2005 - Golden age. People are happy for stable payment, "honest opportunity" and longterm income:) Investors offer up to 90% commission back for affiliate signups.

Winter 2005 - Warning. Ecurrency scandals. FBI investigation in Egold, competitive processors kicked out of 12dailypro by Stormpay.

Winter 2006 - The Fall. $50 millions fraud revealed. Much higher damage because tons of crashed dreams.

Result: Yes, 12 dailypro is next ponzi scheme. Ms Johnson in court.

Lesson: do not invest what you cannot afford to lose. ( my lose is $900+)

My question: who is the bad boy / girl in this game?
1. Ms Johnson for her lies about income source?
2. Stormpay for highly profitable "fight" against unhonest moneymaking systems?
3. Autosurfers for ill-founded promises?

Fun: all subjects yell: SCAMMERS, SCAMMERS!

Who is the worst scammer in this case?

11 Tips for managers - joke for monday

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00pm and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
2. If it's really a "rush job", run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.
3. Always leave without telling anyonewhere you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
4. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance ratingwith a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.
5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. I like being a psychic.
6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.
7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it asecret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.
8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular inconversations. I was born to be whipped.
9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.
10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
11. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to knowsomeone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

The term Ponzi is derived from the actions of a man names Charles K Ponzi. It is any program or claimed investment opportunity which relies on new investments to pay off the older ones. Those whom invest first are thus paid their returns from those who invest after them, leaving the last investors the ones who lose out. Many HYIPs who claim to be trading, investing, etc are really only running a ponzi scheme. Some have also compared the US Social Security system to a ponzi scheme.

Anti spamming

Trust me, i know what you feel when you open your inbox and see tons of spam messages flooding the page. Unfortunately most of antispam filter programs are useless. We keep on seeing over the internet all day long antispam 2005 , antispam outlook, barracuda antispam and much more commercial advertising messages... Some people even change their email address because of the huge number of spam they receive.
I've actually did it twice so far. In this article i will tell you how you can reduce the spam messages to more than 70%. You just need to follow these instructions for few days and you will be doing just fine.

Use a surfing email address:
Whenever you register to a forum or mailing list never use your personal email address. Create another email for this purpose so if you get flooded with spam your personal email won't be clogged.

Create many emails for many purposes:
You can create many emails each one of them can be used for something. You can create an email for personal use only by friends, family which is never used to request information or discussion forums... another might be used just for internet surfing and registrations purchasing.

Remove your email address from your website:
If you list or link to your email address, you can expect to be spammed. Address-harvesting robots will spider your site and extract them. So remove them wherever possible and use web-based forms instead. This will drastically cut down the amount of spam you receive if you have a website.

NEVER buy anything from a company that spams:
If you contact them to ask for more information you're encouraging them to continue spamming.

Filter your emails and block the spammers:
It will certainly take you some time to find it but you it's worth it once you apply the above and filter your email you will no longer receive spams and if you do it will be much less than you used to get.

Don't reply to spammers:
Many online antispam organizations encourage their supporters to reply to the spammer by saying that people are not bots or something like that. But in fact this will be helping the spammer to know that the message was received and read.
