Huge Security Warning against the AdFiver extension

The admin of the NeoBux forums published a very detailed analysis about the extension from this site AdFiver. Here are the problems in a Nutshell:

It gets permission to access every single website. (it can inject its code in “http://*/*” and “https://*/*“, so, every single site that you visit, secure or not secure)
It retrieves the code to be executed by the extension every 24 hours from AdFiver. They can modify what the extension does, then the extension will automatically get the changes and begin executing that new code in your browser.
Whenever you login into NeoBux, the extension will send your login details to their server 60 seconds after you log in.

The analysis covers this related to NeoBux of course, but it can literally do it to every single website that you visit. By having the extension, you are allowing AdFiver to inject code to every single website that you visit, and it can change the code on it at any point they want.

Here is the Detailed Analysis of the AdFiver extension if you want to see the ugly details.

And the recomendation is: Remove the extension at once, and change your passwords.

Promotions for 13th anniversary of EasyHits4U

EasyHits4U, one of the best (and a personal favorite) Traffic Exchanges, turns 13 years old today, so it has two promotions:

Whenever you buy Advertising credits, you get an extra 30% credits. So if you buy 10,000 credits, you will get 13,000 credits instead.
If you surf 555 sites total between January 13 and January 15, you will receive 100 site impressions, plus 1300 banner impressions, plus 1300 text ad impressions. They will be automatically assigned to your account on January 16.

I will cover more of EasyHits4U in the following days, not only it is a very good site to promote your sites such as ClixSense, Traffic Monsoon or NeoBux, it also provides you with tools such as an excellent Site Rotator (Creating a site rotator at EasyHits4U) and Splash Pages (Creating a Splash page at EasyHits4U).

Traffic Monsoon moving away from PayPal

The situation with Traffic Monsoon has changed recently, so I am forced to release a Serious scam warning against Traffic Monsoon

For the next 30 days you can purchase via PayPal, but withdrawals to PayPal are no longer possible.

Traffic Monsoon is moving it’s funds to Payza (you can withdraw to it) and it is in the process of setting up a bank (TM World Bank) in Dubai, with the goal of be able to provide MasterCards as a better way to dispose of the funds.

Introducing the News section

This section will have short notes related to PTC and Traffic Exchanges. In this section you will find:

Important changes in the main PTC systems
Interesting promotions in the main PTC systems
Systems that stop paying
Systems that stop working
If there is a good system coming out, something that looks sustainable and from a trusted person, then it will also appear here. But not for the moment, I will be careful with finding the good things.

So I’ll do my best to keep the section updated, I hope it can be of help.

Before your economy collapses…

It is known that I fell very low, economically speaking. For me it was normal to go a couple of days with no food, to pass cold, and there was only a barely functional laptop that I actually rescued because it was deemed too slow (it was), but that is not a story for this page. Some people may call it luck, but you and I know that luck played but a little role on it. During the process there are some things that I wished I would have prepared in advance (and some I did prepare thankfully), before everything went down. Here are some of those things:

Open and verify accounts in Online Payment systems

This one is probably the most critical. It was those accounts, mostly PayPal for me, that kept me afloat. Normally the verification process requires you to have things that you are likely to lose, so open and verify before you can’t. You may come across and opportunity and realize that your hands are tied.

Some of the Online Payment systems I recommend are:

PayPal (Which you probably already have)
Payza (also widely accepted)
Neteller (virtual and plastic Prepaid MasterCard® cards available to dispose of your funds)
Skrill (plastic Prepaid MasterCard® card available to dispose of your funds)

Get a USB or a DVD with Linux on it

Your computer may be your support during the worst times, but the day may come in which it becomes unusable, either by a virus, by a software update, or any of the reasons computers with Windows become slow and terrible. And you may not have the time or the resources to get back to your files.

Well, then put the USB stick or the DVD in, boot from it, and there you go. Full access to your files, web browser, office suite (Libre Office) and a fast functional computer to keep you going. There is a lot of help online for it, or you can always write me.

My personal recommendation: Linux Mint KDE, but there are many flavours.

Get familiarized with your closest Library, get a card

In the worst of times, Libraries can make the difference. And they have made it for many, a renowned case is that of Og Mandino, where he contemplated suicide and instead ended up going through a variety of books of self-help and motivation, and he became a successful writer and speaker. If you have never hear of him, this is a taste of what he wrote, who knows, it may help you: https://kathypilcher.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/og-mandino-scrolls.pdf

Find food banks or food sources

Keeping your health is extremely critical, and for that you are going to need food. If you see this collapse coming from the distance, prepare as best as you can for a worst case scenario. And you need food and shelter, and nowadays Internet could also help a lot, but there are many places where you can get it.

Learn the language of the country you are in

Yeah, I am kind of joking with this one ^_^, but it happened to me when I was half a world away. Thankfully I survived that one.

So, all the best to you, don’t give up. There are many problems that arise, but the biggest of them all may be how you handle it inside of you, because it is devastating to the moral to go through it, and how you view yourself may get twisted when it comes to eating something or dying. But don’t get that far, seriously, better be better prepared and try to not think about things that you have no control over, you need to have your mind working on the solutions and it won’t if you have it stuck on the problems.

The Best PTC Sites of 2015

The situation with Traffic Monsoon has changed recently, so I am forced to release a Serious scam warning against Traffic Monsoon

2015 is almost over. Some PTC Systems survived, but many are gone and of those that remain many stopped paying. I know of the PTC world and about Traffic Exchanges since a long time ago, but after seeing friends fall pray to some this year, I got in and this website was born. My objective is still the same, to go deep into the PTC world to find opportunities that work and protect people from scams, while teaching some good marketing techniques that have worked for me. It is a much larger world that I originally thought and I continue doing testing, making a good database and keeping track of it all, it will be an intense 2016. But enough, what did I get from 2015? Here are what I consider the gems in the mud, so if you are going serious into a system this year, these are the things that were pretty solid in 2015.

ClixSense

If you want to make money soon and not build something for months to get an income that can make a difference, then don’t waste time and begin using ClixSense.

A good source of balance in ClixSense are the Surveys, but also there are some fairly decent offers, there are mini-jobs available, and of course there are PTC ads and the possibility to build a downline to earn more. The Premium membership cost only USD$17.00 per year, and you can get to that quickly.

ClixSense has been around since 2007, and its business model is pretty sustainable, they have no problem paying the members because the money is not simply circulating inside the system, it comes in, the members do things, we get paid.

Traffic Monsoon

Update: Now I am issuin a Serious Scam warning against Traffic Monsoon, it may have been good, but now it seems to be going the wrong way

I believe people who have been a long time around the PTC world see Traffic Monsoon with caution because of its owner, Charles Scoville, who has run scam sites in the past. And that includes me, my first posts regarding Traffic Monsoon were saying this.

But as far as 2015 goes, it was the best PTC and an excellent Traffic Exchange, and I have gotten referrals in other sites by purchasing the AdPacks. And every attempt to cash out has been successful and instantaneous, from the first one, to the last one that was done a couple of days ago. I don’t have something negative to say about it so far.

Charles Scoville got a child not that long ago, that is a big motivation right there to try to do it right this time. And now it has become one year old, it didn’t fade right away as many other systems do. Anyway, basic tips regarding Traffic Monsoon if you give it a try:

Do not invest more than you are willing to lose, but this applies to every system, not just Traffic Monsoon. Of course the idea is to not lose at all, but don’t put your entire life-savings into something that you don’t control.
The AdPacks are nice. You buy one for USD$50, then see 10 ads in the Traffic Exchange daily until you get $55 back. It takes a while seeing ads until you get that, is not like you put $50 and get $55 back the next week, but they come.
With the AdPack you can promote a Banner, but you pay for clicks and not for impressions. Your banner will be shown until 20 people have clicked on it. It’s better in my opition than just show a banner thousands of time and not getting any click. Here, if you get no clicks, then you change the banner and the credits go to the new banner.
And of course, referrals. You get 100% of what your referrals make in the PTC ads, only first level referrals count for this.

NeoBux

NeoBux needs a long-term strategy, this is the system that you build over a long period of time to get the benefits. And you set how much do you want to earn and build it to that point before start cashing out. What makes NeoBux as good option is that it has been around for a very long time and it has a sustainable business model.

Of course if the objective is to cash-out USD$10 a month, that is not actually hard to accomplish, even starting from absolute 0 investment, you get there in a couple of months. If the objective is to cash out USD$1,000 a month however, that takes time, but it is still very possible if you have the patience and the constancy to get there.

Not a get-rich-quick scheme for sure, but if those worked, you wouldn’t be here reading this.

EasyHits4U

This is a wonderful Traffic Exchange, and it includes some excellent tools, such as a good Site Rotator and the possibility to make Splash Pages.

So you are in the world of make money online now, you have pages to promote, here is a fantastic place to do it.

It’s all about constancy

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Just think about this: Would you have a job if you only went once? Would you keep it if you went some days and skip most days?

It won’t matter how good that one day was, how much you accomplished in that one day, or how effective or good you are at doing what you do if you can not keep doing it.

You can have constancy, you do it at your job every day, for years, even for a life time. Why then can you not have it when it comes to your own things?

The purpose of this post is to give you some insight into what happens in your mind, because the best opportunities to make money online depend on this, in your ability to do something, however small, but do it every single day.

Developing constancy in life

Constancy is nice and all, but how do I develop it? Or more importantly, how do I develop it to benefit ME?

You may wake up one day and begin doing push-ups, and maybe do 50 of them but then do nothing the next day. This goes for any activity such as eating healthy or eating less and of course saving money. Starting gives you motivation, but that motivation fades as you only start at the start.

However, you can instead do 10 push-ups, save a pair of bucks, have a healthy breakfast. You will feel like you can do a lot more, but just do a little bit and get on with your day. And this will leave you unsatisfied thinking that you can do a lot more, so the next day you will have that unsatisfaction to keep you going.

Would you like to wake up one month later and think “I did 50 push-ups this month” or “I did 300 push-ups this month”. Thinking “I saved 10 bucks this month” or “I saved 60 bucks this month”?

That is all there is to it. Do it over and over and over, until what you are doing becomes a habit. You have a lot of habits that you may not even be aware of, what if you start making habits that YOU decide to have as habits?

You are not what you do one day, you are what you do every day.

Where your constancy pays: NeoBux

NeoBux is a prime example of constancy that pays. It takes only a little time a day, and it can be built to the point in which it generates hundreds of USD for you, constantly. But it is very few people who ever gets there, because it takes using it every single day for months, years even, depending of how big to you want the income to grow.

Every system promises the same thing, why NeoBux then? Because it has been around long enough to trust that it is not going to just fade away tomorrow, rendering all the time that you spent on it worthless. And it does pay. I have only make tests to get sure, there are also the forums extremely active full of payment proofs.

Anyway, I have invited people into NeoBux but some times it isn’t just for them to earn a little extra cash, some times I do it to test their constancy in order to invite them to other projects or to participate in other ideas. Pretty much anyone under me on a PTC network, whether it is NeoBux, ClixSense, Traffic Monsoon, EasyHits4U or others will get an invitation to participate in this site, it is a plan for 2016.

What is a site rotator and why you should use one

If you have have more than one site to promote with the credits that you are earning, it would be a lot of work to go into every single network to add new referral links, and then to keep track of that. Not to mention that as a free member in some Traffic Exchanges you will only be able to promote a few sites.

Here is where a Site Rotator comes in handy. The concept is very simple, every time that you open the address of the site rotator, a different site is shown. Instead of adding 3 sites on a network and assigning 2,000 views to each, you can simply add your 3 links to the Site Rotator, then use the Site Rotator link and assign 6,000 views to it.

Easy Rotator — Site Rotator at EasyHits4U

The Basic Strategy for a Site Rotator

If you promote more than one site, whether they are PTC Networks, ClinkBank products, the social network with revenue sharing Tsū, or anything; a site rotator helps you to have better control over the links. And with the many options given by a good Site Rotator, you can control the availability and the frequency of each link, plus it offers you some good statistics to look at.

The Best Strategy for a Site Rotator: Split-testing

Split-testing is splitting the traffic among different versions of a landing or a splash page, with the purpose of finding out which of the versions produce a better result. In a way you are doing a social experiment involving the people seeing each version, but they are not aware that they are part of the experiment.

Many systems give you more than one variant of a landing page, for instance ClixSense gives you two variants (on top of their actual frontal page):

You can add each version to a site rotator (the guide about how to track the results is coming), and then simply assign credits to it.

You can create your own Splash pages in many services, for example you can create a Splash page in EasyHits4U.

How to get a site rotator

The Site Rotator of EasyHits4U is amazing, it will allow you to control many things in the sites and give you nice statistics on the use.

I will have more guides to more tools available, but for now I’ll get started with Creating a site rotator at EasyHits4U, which is in my opinion one of the best options available.

Creating a site rotator at EasyHits4U

EasyHits4U has an excellent Site Rotator available to members, one of the best available. The rotator at EasyHits4U has all kinds of nice features, including the ability of enable and disable links on it, set the “weight” of the links (how often they would show compared to others, the more weight, the more they show), useful statistics including fancy graphics. And for upgraded members even geo-targeting of the links is available.

Steps for making a site rotator in EasyHits4U

Find the links that you want to promote
Go to “My tools” > “Easy Rotator”
Click on “Add new rotator”
Set up a Title for the Site Rotator and click on “Add”
Easy Rotator – New Rotator
Click on “Add a new site”
Easy Rotator – Add a new site
Input the Link, and set up a Title for that link
Easy Rotator – Add Link
Wait for the Confirmation Screen, click “Confirm” when the count down is over.
Easy Rotator – Confirm Link
Repeat as many times as necessary
Optionally you can past multiple links at once, but you will have to confirm each and everyone of the links.

Additional Notes

Once you have your Site Rotator set-up with EasyHits4U, you can control how much do you have the site to display in comparison to others, for this we use the Site Weight. The highest the weight, the more it will show.

Wake up to the reality of making money Online

I want you to understand something, and the faster you understand it, the better for you: No one has ever build a system where the primary objective is that YOU make money. But there is one more thing to understand: YOU are the value of the Systems Online.

They Need You to make money. And they don’t need you to pass by once in a while to click on some Ads and then disappear. Every system needs you active, very active. And every system will try to offer you something to promote your constant and frequent participation.

Whether this is enough for you or not is up to you. But, if you don’t understand the system to reward your participation beyond clicking on some nearly worthless ads, you may be missing the whole point of it.

A good reason why systems offer you upgraded memberships and why it is a good idea to get one, is because you are very likely to be active in the system from then on. That is just basic psychology: you put money into something, you will try to use it. And trust me, it will not work if me or someone else pays it for you at the start.

But if you want to get something out of nothing, then the challenge is not to find a system where you can do it; there are plenty.

The challenge is more a personal challenge; because every system is going to reward you for being active in them. Not for being active 1 hour the first day, but for being active every single day. It doesn’t matter if it is 5 minutes every day, what matters is that it is every day.

And that is what this website is about, and why I don’t post that often. I am looking into some systems and working out how they actually work, deeply, so I can pass-on this information to you and you have a fighting chance for your future.

Job security is gone in many countries; the system got broken beyond repair. You can wake up every day and go to work, but you are getting nowhere and you are building nothing for yourself. Some of these systems give very little when you start, but they give you a chance to grow a future, to create passive income; a chance that you are not getting from anywhere else.

Whatever formula for living you got in your childhood just forget it, regardless of how good the intention behind it was; the world doesn’t work the way you were told. So bury away those ideas of how things are supposed to work, and deal with how things actually work.

Some systems I build passive income on

Just a short list, as these are the systems I will be publishing guides about in the soon-to-come future.

As I said, I’ll get started here, ClixSense was already covered, NeoBux barely covered, but if you are not in them already, it may be a good idea to start seeing ads so you have some resources to invest and get things going.
