Viva La$ Vega$! About so called synthetic economy.

Soon first payout from Hitzmagic.com

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 09:34:00 +0000

I registered to Hitzmagic nine months ago. It has been fairly slow to reach 75 bucks border, but finally it is happening.

Everything is pretty much automatised, so referrals are clicking for me. I would like to thank my referrals and hopefully they have had as good experieces of Hitzmagic like I have had.

Some stuff moved to new address - protechblogger.blogspot.com.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:47:00 +0000

All blogging resources, internet, seo etc. related stuff moved to this address:

So in the future Viva La$ Vega$! gets focus back really into making money, making money and making money. :)

$$$! €€€!

Spending +300 EntreCard ecs for advertising campaign.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:25:00 +0000

Ok. Another test.

I bought cheap advertisement space from something like +50 different blogs. Niches: Blogging recources, online marketing, making money online. Average price for ad slot was 2-8 ecs. Campaign should go on next 1-5 days.

I didn't really spent time studying how good investments individual blogs where, my strategy is to create 'shotgun spreaded' visibility for my own blog. Sinces Entrecard ecs are virtual currency, this time I didn't use real money, just my virtual capital on entrecard.com.

I will report results during following days. :)

Testing featuredusers.com banner campaign.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:22:00 +0000

I invested 10 $ quite spontaneously, dunno why, maybe too much time on internet and I thought to recycle 6 $ I got from weblo.com :) .

Anyway... I got 1000 impressions for 10 $ and there is still more than 900 left. So far this test had got me 2 new followers.

If you want to try featuredusers.com, please use my referral link:

http://featuredusers.com/referral/jukhau

Banner ads are shown in several twitter focused sites, most of my ads has been shown in twibes.com, secrettweet.com, friendorfollow.com

Good luck! :)

fyi... 7 more to go and I got my first 100 followers @ twitter. I have fairly passive strategy, so I guess it is ok result so far...

ptcsitesbuzz.blogspot.com - estimated worth $2868.9 USD ?

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:34:00 +0000

Net Worth : $2868.9
Daily Pageview : 978
Daily Ads Revenue : $3.93

http://www.websiteoutlook.com/www.ptcsitesbuzz.blogspot.com

It is not really true. :D :D

Daily page views are not even near 1000, I don't know where websiteoutlook.com gets their stats. But of course it would be nice to have a blog with such statistics.

Google ads and PTC blogging = problems.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:28:00 +0000

Google TOS does not allow using AdSense with sites related to PTC. I think it is a shame, but what can you do.

I don't know what to do with this blog, because I need earning model and AdSense is one of best there is. Probably it means end for this blog and I have to start new one, where PTC is totally excluded.

Stay tuned, updates coming via Twitter and this blog.

Taketheglobe.com and suspicious digg activity.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:00:00 +0000

I stumbled for this digg item:

http://digg.com/business_finance/TakeTheGlobe_com_under_heavy_DDOS_attack_Please_read

Look profiles of people commenting and dugging this digg item. Most of them have just 1 or 2 dugged item and guess what, it is the item concerning taketheglobe.com and September 2008 DOS attack.

So... either profiles are TTGs sock puppets or they are somehow redirected for digging just this one specific digg item. Hard to tell, what it actually is, but it looks suspicious.

Scam search.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:45:00 +0000

So you find a new earning site, but you are not sure if it's scam or not?

I have answer for your problem. There is now search engine on our blog for searching PTC and other earning site scams. It goes thru certain online money related forums for finding possible scam suspects. Idea of the engine is to help finding scams, because searching scams through regular google results is time consuming and hopeless.

Test it and give feedback. Suggest new sites, forums to be added.

Current list of sites included to the search engine:

http://ptctalk.com/forums/
http://www.onlinemoneyforum.net/viewforum.php?f=6
http://www.scam.com/
http://www.squidoo.com/ptc-scam-list
http://www.scams.da.ru/
http://www.scambusters.org/

and this blog:

http://ptcsitesbuzz.blogspot.com/

Don't hesitate to suggest new site for improving our search engine. Just suggest links on comment box.

Remember to give your visitors a change for networking.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:20:00 +0000

Let's imagine that you got sudden visitor on your website. A visitor likes your website. So what happens next? Bookmarking your favourite website is really old fashioned way to go.

Probably visitor is looking for possibility to subscribe for feeds and do networking with you, specially if you're both blogging on same niche.

You need to offer this opportunity for networking. It should be available on your website without any extra scrolling or clicking subpages. Best place for offering networking is upper left or right corner on your blog.

I started to use entrecard.com (thanks to kidtechguru for the tip). With Entrecard service, I have already stumbled on interesting blogs, which unfortunately don't offer possibility for networking, I think it is a shame.

Do you think there is missing something important from my website? Please comment and I will check it out.

MyLot - ripoff, hot stuff or what?

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 15:45:00 +0000

I found 2 years old blog post regarding mylot.com. Opening post gives really harsh critic regarding mylot.com website.This thread had created loads of comments and latest one are from November 2008.

My quick summary about mylot.com, after reading nearly all comments:

MyLot actually pays for active users, for most appx. 2-15 $ per month, depending how long you have been there and how active you are, maybe even more for really Pro-users.

MyLot is also good for networking (driving traffic to your blog etc.), if you don't want to spend time commenting blog posts etc. Warning: don't start to bitch about payments, it is guarranteed method to get your account closed.

While compared to clicking ads (zzz.... :D ) on PTC sites, MyLot is probably good entertaintment and if you are doing online biz and you don't want to invest too much money, MyLot can be good choice.

I hope this information was useful for you. Please stay tuned by networking with me, check links on left navigation bar and subscribe for RSS feed.

p2cdaily.com - it doesn't look good.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 22:57:00 +0000

http://www.p2cdaily.com/

It doesn't look good, site is giving warning with php-code.

We can start the countdown, props for admin about keeping people up-to-date, but... :|

Donkey Mails

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:26:00 +0000

I signed there today, to minimum payout, loads of daily ads. Site has lot of different possibilities for making money online, playing online games etc..

I really warmly recommend this site, is has also possibility for create good referral network.

p2cdaily.com - account suspended?

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:13:00 +0000

http://dallas.ckcwh.net/suspended.page/?r=jukkish

??? :D

Well, I probably didn't have there much earnings, but it is interesting how ptc -site can suspend account without any warnings. I don't have any clue why my account was suspended, because of my blog articles? WTF?

EDIT: ok. http://p2cdaily.blogspot.com/, the problem is on the site, not my account.

Catchy headlines create loads of diggs, but we allways end up with same problem.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:47:00 +0000

Do you check link before digging it? Or how you make your decision about digging something?

My strong guess is that most diggers make decision by the headline, if it is catchy, you will digg it.

My strong opinion, there is nowadays too many "top x sites regarding subject y" and other listings. Don't digg them, unless they are really offering something NEW.

Save your money and your time -- avoid online surveys.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 11:54:00 +0000

Scambusters.org puts online surveys under magnifying glass.

Is bux.to a scam site?

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:05:00 +0000

February 2008, Strong NO.

No (april 2008?)

June 2008, yes, yes!!!

31.10.2008 Strong YES. Check specially this last link, because it summarises quite well whole bux.to history.

So... Bux.to is still running and probably some members are getting their payment proofs, but my own advice is not to invest any new money on the site. Discuss + most recent news.

419 Legal - Internet Fraud and Online Scam Forum and WaoIndia

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 10:38:00 +0000

www.419legal.org/ looks quite cool. I stumbled into it, while searching information about waoIndia.

WaoIndia is PTC site paying high ratio (0.10$) per click. The trick is that they have really high payout, it is $ 199.00. So you have to prepare to spend some time with the site, for getting your first payout.

Highest Pay Surveys and cash payments.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 12:38:00 +0000

According to puzzle.com study, Highest Pay Surveys doesn't have cash payments, so it sounds like bogus.

Ok, I did some extra research and it actually seems this isn't even NEWS, there was similar post about same site from year 2005. Btw. dslreports.com has really juicy scambusters forum.

This post is related to previous post about hitZmagic.com, because Highest Pay Surveys is one of the websites they have on their PTC program. Should we start countdown for my account to be suspended there? ;)

p2cdaily.com needs new sign-ups!

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:50:00 +0000

I got email that site needs more referrals than what it currently can offer. Good news is that email shows there are human referrals existing, instead of bots. I think it is really straight-forward approach from admin to sent email and explain situation, so new signups, please join. :)

hitzmagic.com pays 7 cents per click?

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 11:17:00 +0000

p2reviews.com added TakeTheGlobe.com to the blacklist.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:54:00 +0000

Notice: p2reviews.com blacklist isn't same as Scam list.

TakeTheGlobe.com - Rude Forum Moderators and Support, No support (Forget about getting a reply from support@taketheglobe.com), Unprofessional and they don’t know the meaning of “freedom of speech”. They ban members for speaking their mind and even members who are associated with those members.

http://www.p2reviews.com/?page_id=228

I have to admit that I have had little bit similar experiences about TakeTheGlobe.com, some tiny problems with registering and login... I'm not sure if problems are also related to the fact that they are quite popular right now and servers are running hot, so maybe also support is bit hot, they are humans after all.

Max-PTC is a scam site.

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:42:00 +0000

According to ptctalk.com forums, it seems that MAX-PTC is a scam site.

thecodeis writes:

"Yes the Max-PTC admin is a know SCAMMER. He goes by the name of RONNIE. Hes previous scams are BUX3.COM, BUX3.NET, WORLD-BUX.COM, EXTREME-ADS.NET AND latest MAX-PTC

He advertised to his scam site with 3 cents per click and 2 cents per ref click. He got around 10,000 member in weeks. Now he changed the rates to 2 cent per click and 1.5 per ref click. He has modified his Scamming TOS to 1.5 cent per click and 1 cent per click after getting 50,000 registered members .

His new way of scamming is to ask members to get monthly upgrade instead of Yearly. Max-PTCs design is a copy of Extreme-Ads.net. He is scamming again again and again.."

Hits4Pay.com ?

noreply@blogger.com (kosmos) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:37:00 +0000

Ok. I registered there two days ago and now my account was terminated. (?!) :D

I'm puzzled.

Has anyone had similar experiences?
