Back Again, First Adgitize payment
Thank you Adgitize
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
free trial of something or other, but to get started
you need to provide a credit card number, or use your
Paypal account to sign up.
A lot of services or products even ask that you pay
ONLY $1 to start any sort of trial and act as if you
are getting an incredible value.
But what they are really doing is getting your credit
card number or PayPal account locked into their auto
re-billing feature and hiding behind their real motive
simply by telling you that it is for your convenience.
It is a well known fact that many people who offer
products or services are making more money due simply
to people forgetting to cancel these auto re-bills.
Now I'm not in any way speaking for all marketers.
Many do in fact provide great value and are trying to
make things easier, but it is also an overly abused
marketing tactic to make the product or service owner
a lot of extra recurring income.
You see a lot of unethical marketers know that most
of the time you will forget about the trial and a few
months later you will finally notice that you have been
charged XX dollars every month. Guess who makes a pile
of money that way. That's not cool man.
So it is something to watch out for when signing up
to any fr.ee trials of anything.
On a total flip side, here's an example of a guy who
has an insanely good fr.ee trial offer, but you don't
have to give your credit card or Paypal account up
front. It's just a free trial, because he believe it
works and is not hiding behind anything!
http://smart.gurumarketer.com?c=6515
It's a no obligations 90 Day Free Trial of what's
called the Smart Subscriber marketing system. His name
is Ian and he's been an online marketer for over a
decade and claims he will make you mon.ey through
affi.liate comm.issions just to prove his service is
worth paying for!
With no credit cards or Paypal account stuff upfront,
I'd say that's a pretty rock solid and safe free trial.

Traffic Exchanges
A manual traffic exhange is a very good choice is you are trying to get sign-ups for your affilitiate programs or to make sales. A good example of this is High-Hits. Manual traffic exchanges require you to view a site for a certain number of seconds and then asks a verification question like click on the correct symbol or number.
Automatic traffic exchanges are primarily used to increase overall page views. This is good if you have advertisements on your page, and you get credit for each view. The only problem with this type of exchange is that sometime the exchange places your site in a frame. Because of this, the page view may not be counted. A perfect example of this type of site is Freemillionautosurf.com

BanziBux
Now, I know over the last week or so, I have been posting articles and links to different sites where a blogger can make some extra money for advertising. I have discovered my favorite. This is a PTC program called BanziBux. There is a Banner below this post that will take you to the main site. There are three reasons why this is my favorite PTC program.
First, you can upgrade the membership plan from standard to premier, executive, and finally CEO without ever paying a dime. This is accomplished by the total number of clicks that you have made on the site. By setting the site up this way, it reqards the most active members.
Second, Referral rentals are only .20 for standard members. Some sites that I have seen can go as high as 1.00 per rental per month. this will allow you to make money faster.
Finally, the third reason is actually a funny story. I had just joined the site about two weeks ago when I received a message that the owner was looking for someone to take over for him. He was going to give the site away for free, nada, nothing! I contacted him and over the course of several days, I expressed my interest in taking over for him. After about a week of conversations, he confided in me that he actually had changed his mind and did not want to dive up the site right now. Needless to say, I was a bit upset. He understood, and in return for the trouble I was put through, He gave me a free CEO upgrade for one year. Yippy! I am very happy about this as it gives me more opportunity to earn some much needed cash. So here I am....begging, pleading, bribing if necessary. Take a look at the site, its free to join and out may even make some money out of the deal. here is a breakdown of the levels and payouts. Don't let the numbers fool you, it is possible to make some much needed advertising dollars from this site.
| Privilege | Standard | Premium | Executive | CEO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay per click | $0.0025 | $0.0075 | $0.015 | $0.02 |
| Pay per referral click | $0.0025 | $0.005 | $0.0065 | $0.007 |
| Payout minimum | $1.00 | $1.00 | $1.00 | $1.00 |
| Max. direct referrals | 200 | 500 | 750 | 1,000 |
| Max. rented referrals | 500 | 1,000 | 2,000 | 4,000 |
| Max. daily messages to send | 10 | 50 | 50 | 70 |
| Renting referrals | $0.20 | $0.30 | $0.30 | $0.25 |
| Recycling referrals | $0.10 | $0.10 | $0.06 | $0.05 |
| Extending referrals | $0.25 | $0.25 | $0.25 | $0.20 |
| Payout method | Manually | Manually | Manually | Manually |
| Advertising bonus | 0 | 2.5% | 5% | 10% |
| # of unlimited banners | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 |

Things That Should be Button Activated
Some things in life should just be button activated. Let’s face it; there are some things that would just be cooler if they were able to be made to work by simply pressing a button. No matter what you are doing, driving or turning on, a great button just looks so much cooler.
- Spoilers. Your car would be so much cooler if the spoiler on the back popped up on demand via a button. Pressing a button on your dash or in the center console that makes a spoiler on the back of your car pop up would be very cool. Not only could you keep it hidden when you wanted your car to be incognito, you could then pop it up when you got to a race track and needed to dominate the competition in the corners.
- Recliners. If you are anything like me, then it is a pain in the butt to have to lean over the side of your favorite chair just to pull a lever that makes the thing recline. I want a button. Right on the armrest. This way, I let the power of electric motors do all the work for me. I wouldn’t have to bend over, I wouldn’t have to strain myself and I wouldn’t have to even exert any force at all. By simply pressing a little red button that says “Activate” or “Engage” or something cool, the motors would start to whir away and the foot of the chair would lift up off the ground allowing the best relaxation possible. And all thanks to a button.
- Evil. Using a button for pure evil would be simple and effective. No matter the type of evil, simply being able to just press a button would be very fun – and scary. For instance, say you wanted to stop some random dude named Merrell’s heart. By pressing your evil button, you can watch from the comfort of your button activated recliner as he crumbles to the ground. And the great thing is, there is no way to trace it, so you could become the most evil anonymous super villain of all time.

Winter Driving Pet Peeves
Like me, everyone has their worst driving pet peeves. Here are some ones that don’t get seen that often, unless you live in Minnesota.
- Winter parking. Why is it that when the first snow falls, all rules go out the window? Not only does this apply to simply driving down the road, it also seems to apply to parking spaces for some reason. No one here can park in the winter. Maybe the problem lies with the stripes being the same color as the snow? Whatever the reason, whenever the white powder comes falling down, all hell breaks loose in Minnesota parking lots. Make sure that you don’t have a nice body kit installed because it will probably get ripped off completely thanks to a moron in a slippery parking lot that recently lost his or her mind because some solid water fell from the sky.
- Not using defrosters. I really don’t understand these people. Obviously, when it is cold outside and it is warm in your car, the windows are going to fog up. This will hamper your visibility to the point that you might not be able to see where you are going. For the love of Jeebus this is why every car in the history of the world comes equipped with a defroster button. This will direct the air at all the windows and allow them to defog. It is very handy for being able to see where you are going and will keep you from causing a billion car pile up that destroys one sixth of the world.
- Slowing down for corners on the Interstate. Listen to me right now. There is a speed limit that makes sense on that road for a reason. The highway engineer would not construct a corner that would necessitate the need to slow down at all if it would hamper the flow of traffic. Therefore, you can be sure that the corner that is coming up can be taken at the speed you are going. When you put on the brakes or lift off the gas, you are just going to cause confusion and bad feelings behind you.

Solar Powered Camels

Some of Kenya’s camels are carrying the solar-powered mini fridges on their backs as part of a test project that uses camels as mobile health clinics. It is hoped that the eco-friendly transport system will provide a cheap, reliable way of getting much-needed medicines and vaccines to rural communities in Kenya and Ethiopia.
The Nomadic Communities Trust has been using camels as mobile health clinics in isolated areas with few roadways in Kenya, but up to now has been unable to deliver medicines and vaccines that require refrigeration. In 2005, Nomadic Communities Trust partnered with California’s Art Center College of Design’s Designmatters and Princeton’s Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM) to create a lightweight and durable solar-powered refrigerator that can be strapped to camels’ backs in order to transport chilled medicines and vaccines.
The mini fridge is housed in a bamboo saddle that is lightweight and durable enough for camels to easily carry it across miles of rough terrain. The solar panels can also be used by the mobile clinics for lighting and refrigeration in the field.
Designmatters‘ executive director, Mariana Amatullo, said the project was designed with a budget of only a few thousand dollars and the device was tested on the Bronx Zoo's camels to save money.
The fridges are currently being tested on camels in Kenya and Ethiopia, but Amatullo says the system could be used by any rural communities with access to camels. If the project gets enough funding, it will be implemented in 2010.

Zombies or Vampires
- Which are more likely to kill you?
Author: Larry TruettI am often asked by people if it would be worse to have zombies or vampires chasing them. If the question has the same number of vampires or zombies in pursuit then you definitely want the zombies over the vampires.
Zombies are much slower and dumber than vampires.
Zombies do not have superpowers of any kind. A vampire may have a number of superpowers. These include being able to fly, transforming into another creature, mind reading or mind control, and looking sexy. This gives the vampire a serious edge over the zombie.
Zombies will probably chase you in a pack, but not in an organized pack. And the zombie pack will likely be easily distracted. If vampires are hunting in a pack then they will be extremely organized and focused.
However, vampires are much less likely to be hunting in a pack than zombies are. The realistic question is then, "Would you be better off being hunted by a group of zombies or a single vampire?"
Generally, you would still choose the pack of zombies over the single vampire, but there are exceptions.
Zombies do not have many rules they must follow, just plod and eat. Vampires tend to have a number of rules that they must adhere to, some of which may be used to your advantage.
If it is close to sunrise there is a good chance the vampire will need to hide from the sun. If you can make it to daybreak you are safe. Maybe.
If you have holy water, garlic, a crucifix, or a church handy then you might be able to repel the vampire with those. Risky gambit though - less and less vampires are superstitious.
Vampires can not ordinarily enter a home without an invitation. If you are close to home, and have not foolishly invited the vampire inside, then you might have a chance if you can make it to your house.
If the vampire is merely seeking a meal, and does not have a personal vendetta with you, then you might be able to offer the vampire an easier or better meal. This may be the perfect opportunity to dispose of that pesky neighbor or relative. Unfortunately, the vampire will likely remember this and come back again and again. If this happens you might want to start a list of "candidates".
If any these seem to be the case, then sure, go for the single vampire over the zombie hoard. Really be certain, though - vampires are generally quite vicious.
If none of those exceptions seem to fit your predicament then choose the zombies. Cheer up. Under the right circumstances eluding a pack of zombies may be possible.
Zombies can rarely operate a vehicle, so if you can find a car or helicopter you might well get to safety. Probably best to avoid the helicopter if you don't know how to fly one, as a nasty crash is just as deadly as being mauled by zombies. Even if a crash didn't kill you, being injured and then found by zombies would be no picnic. So be really sure you won't crash before selecting any vehicle.
No vehicle? Zombies are unlikely to be targeting you as an individual. They probably just want to eat any human flesh. If you give them an easier meal or make yourself hard to catch they will forget all about you. If you are anywhere near a crowded public place you should try and lead the zombies there. Obvious targets are shopping malls, hospitals, or schools. Some of you might be squeamish at the notion of leading a pack of zombies into a crowd. Be pragmatic. If there is a full blown zombie invasion, and the zombies are already near a public place, then the zombies descending on the unwary is inevitable. You are just getting things over more quickly. If you want to run through the crowd screaming "the zombies are coming" to warn the others, go ahead. A lot of panicked people running in all directions can only help your escape.
No crowds or vehicles around? If these are the usual slow zombies you might be able to outrun them. This seems easy at first, but zombies don't need to sleep or even rest. You need to get completely out of their sight for them to forget about you. This will be harder where there are no hills, such as in the desert or Kansas. If you are near a lake or body of water you might try to swim away. Zombie boyancy isn't well covered in most of the journals, so you are doing some ground breaking research with an attempted aquatic escape.
Bottom line, both of these rascals can be problematic, but the zombies might be slightly less so than vampires.

How to Deal with Annoying Neighbors
How to Deal With Annoying Neighbors
Author: Kasan GroupeOh apartment living. There’s nothing like walking up four floors to your hellish apartment only to find your neighbors are hosting a salsa party in their living room. Some people are pretty dense. They have no sense of common decency and their apartment etiquette blunders are sure to ruin any chance you have at a good night’s sleep. Well what are you going to do about it? Just sit back passively, or get your revenge? If you choose the latter well good for you! Here are a few tips and suggestions to make the process a little easier.
1. Throw your own damn salsa party! Be loud, obnoxious and oblivious just as they are. This may result in a feud, or it might just give them a taste of their own medicine. Either way it’s sure to annoy the hell out of them and hopefully push them to be more considerate.
2. Leave them an angry note. Express your displeasure with their behavior in a well-written, intelligible note. Don’t throw down a bunch of expletives or threats; just make it clear that you will not tolerate their behavior. Hopefully they will get the hint.
3. Complain to your landlord. Assuming you don’t live in a complete slum, he or she is obligated to handle the situation for you. Just call them up and explain the situation to the best of your ability and politely demand that something be done to rectify the problem.
4. Vandalize their car. Alright this isn’t the most mature way to deal with the situation, but it will certainly give you some minor satisfaction when you tear off their Volkswagen parts or scuff their bumper as you leave the parking lot. This of course should be utilized as a last resort only. Try your best to solve the situation in a lawful manner if you can.
Apartment living isn’t always ideal, especially when you have to deal with your loathsome neighbors on a regular basis. But if they’re bothering you, stand up for yourself! You pay the same in rent every month as they do and you deserve a pleasant place to go home to everyday.

Update: Entrecard Hacked
All information is from this post @ Cornymans Money-Blog
EntreCard: Revealing the Secret behind the 3 identical ads in your inbox!
BigDaddyRichard from Trader's Hub wrote yesterday and Eli from Businessphere wrote today about an ad that appears in many of our EntreCard InBoxes not only once but three times.Big Daddy Richard and Eli think it is a trick of EntreCard as the same ad picture appears three times in your inbox.
But the solution is very simple, no trick by EntreCard but the member tricked EntreCard and its members.
And in this case it means, the member uses THREE DIFFERENT accounts for three blogs. As i read now the comments on some of the mentioned blogs (description below), it seems he setup these blogs in the past for other persons (or under other names) but they have the same appearance (blog templates). Some are not updated since August 2008!
If you hover with your mouse over the three pictures you can see that they are linked with three different member accounts
http://entrecard.com/t/oc/54360
http://entrecard.com/t/oc/53839
http://entrecard.com/t/oc/33411
To access now the user profile you have to take the number of each link and add it to
http://entrecard.com/user_details/
If you click on these three links, you will be taken to the three "different" accounts
http://entrecard.com/user_details/54360 --> http://entrecard.com/details/142085 Software Blog
http://entrecard.com/user_details/53839 --> http://entrecard.com/details/142089 Jennys Personal Blog
http://entrecard.com/user_details/33411 --> http://entrecard.com/details/141888 Reahsblog
The Software blog seems to have a redirect to the -for all three same- targeted web site http://blogproduction.blogspot.com/
If you click on the given URL in the Blog details it takes you to the above mention Blogproduction website (without any EntreCard widget).
Have a look at the MOST RECENT POST and click one of the posts, this will take you to the REAL Blog behind the picture (and all except the SOFTWARE BLOG and ReahsBlog which you can only access by the below mentioned Blogroll listing!) have an EntreCard widget.
If you look on this Blogproduction website you can see that in the Blogroll "Jennys Personal Blog" and "Reahsblog" is mentioned (there is the connection that it's the same user with different accounts, perhaps he wants to cash-in the referral ECs as linked blogs wouldn't be allowed to receive additional free ECs and so on?)
EntreCard System is too easy to abuse!
You just have to go to your Dashboard:
- Take a look at the section "Your Blog" in the middle of the page
- Click on "Edit"
- Change the website URL to any other website which you would like to promote :)
- Save it, EntreCard doesn't look any more if this is a page with EntreCard widget (otherwise these THREE blogs would have been already deleted!).
- In case we report them, EntreCard might get active and sent a message to their Dashboard to place the EC-widget on this blog within a specific time frame (24 to 72 hours)

reBlog from BigDaddyRichard: Great Minds Design
I found this fascinating quote today:
Early this year, in March 9, 2009 to be specific, I posted a blog entitled "Entrecard, Hacked?" In that post, I exposed the attempt by someone who injected a CPC ad into our inboxes. I discovered the ad when, in the course of making my daily drops, I clicked on the EC card and the landing page led me to a site which happens to be a cpc ad on Social Sparks. I raised the impropriety of the matter with Entrecard and Social Sparks, both of whom denied any knowledge of the matter. Social Sparks immediately promised to ban whoever was behind it while Entrecard apparently pulled the plug on it. I never saw the ad again in my inbox.(Read my post on this!)BigDaddyRichard, Great Minds Design, Mar 2009

Black Friday Fiasco
I have a small confession to make. I am a computer geek. There I said it, finally coming out of the closet, so to speak. This store has everything that I could possible wish for, and more. Lucky for me, I left my credit cards at home, or I would be in deep trouble when the bill rolled in. Well, thins was just to drop a quick note on my adventures yesterday. BTW, I am thinking about doing a site revision, try to make it load fast, look better, etc. I may not be able to post much for the near future. Just remember, I will return. You can get you stumbling fix when I get back.
