“Ultimate Web Search”,.. All that and a buck ninety nine!

May 27th, 2009

Hey Guys! I hope everyone had an awesome memorial day weekend. In my last post I mentioned that I was going to be playing golf with the in laws. Well I played better than I thought and actually managed my average score of 120 ( don’t laugh, my putting needs work ). The course wasn’t really all that hard and the burger that everyone raved about wasn’t all that tear jerking. Sorry, no pictures of me crying over the perfect burger.

Anyways, I found some free time this weekend to play around with “Ultimate Web Search“, and it’s actually pretty cool. Basically, you get another venue for your promotional needs and you also earn an easy $1.99 commission from the referrals you bring in. Which isn’t really all that difficult since the Lifetime Membership is only $1.99, and most of us need advertising.

What makes it even better is that every time someone takes advantage of the Life Time Membership fee of $1.99 by using your referral link ( URL ). That money goes directly into your PayPal account. No waiting to build a balance, No checks, just automatic PayPal payments every time someone joins.

Basically, your in profit after your second referral!!

So what I did to give it a good test, and to make sure that everything was as advertised, was post a quick $24 ad on ClixSense. I pretty much knew that I wasn’t going to profit this round, I just wanted some quick results to see how well it worked.

I thought this screen shot of my email inbox was more impressive, since my paypal account was a bit cluttered with other transactions.

So yes!! You do get those automatic payments from your referrals. Just be careful about spending money on advertising. Like I said, I really didn’t expect to see a profit from my ClixSense ad. Getting that screen shot up was my goal.

Oh and sorry there’s no second level of commissions, just the $1.99. There are other services that Ultimate Web Search offers for making additional revenue. I haven’t explored these yet. My interest at this point is the quick cash and getting this blog up in new locations.

Now lets talk a bit what else you get for that hefty $1.99 lifetime membership. I’m not going to get to everything, just a few of the services available.

  • Post To Message Board – This is basically your front page ad. HTML is encouraged. If your HTML challenged, at least put an “open in new window” link in your ad. If your unsure how to do this, then you missed my little tuturial. Oh and, before you submit your ad the first time, copy ( ctrl C ) your work. If you don’t like how your ad looks your only edit option is “Delete”. Copy your work so you can paste ( ctrl V ) your previous work and make corrections. Instead of starting all over again.
  • Ad Submitter – Free Regional Classified Listing with Press Mania
  • Safe List – Post a message to thousands. I haven’t placed mine yet, but I’m pretty sure this message is shown after you log in.
  • Web Submission Service – For your affiliate links, blog, or website URL. Screen Shot added below to show where you submit your URL

That’s basically it. A pretty cool service with a very simple affiliate option. There’s really nothing shady or deceiving going on here.

That’s all for me today ( tonight, this morning ). It’s three in the morning and I’m off to bed. Talk to you guys later.

Thanks to everyone who sent messages, comments, emails etc..

Kicking butt with NeoBux today.

May 23rd, 2009

Okay, so it’s almost 2 A.M. here in California. I really need to get my butt to bed, since I have to get up in five hours. Playing Golf with the “in laws” in the morning at a course that is waaaaayy above my skill level. I’m thinking that keeping score might be a bad idea. So I’ll just pack a couple dozen golf balls and enjoy the awesome weather. Plus I heard there’s a great restaurant on the golf course that makes Burgers that will bring tears to your eyes. I am soooo bringing my camera. ( just in case I cry )

Anyways, I’m not going to get the chance to write a post tomorrow, so I thought I’d share what I’ve been doing today.

Basically it was a NeoBux day. I really haven’t promoted NeoBux in a couple months so, I decided to create a Splash Page and advertise a bit.

It took me about a half hour to create this Splash Page.. I was pretty happy with it so I spent some time surfing at a few of my favorite Traffic Exchanges ( I’ll place some links at the bottom of this post ) to build up some ad credits. Occasionally I stopped and assigned credits to my new NeoBux splash page, just to keep it in rotation through out the day.

I also placed an ad on ClixSense. I converted $24 in earnings for ad credits and threw in another $25 of my own money for 4000 hits.

and here are the results.

I was so happy with my results, that I surfed my TE’s ( traffic exchanges ) a couple more hours and made sure that my page would be active throughout the night ( now morning ).

Alright, I’m tired. Going to bed now. As promised, below are the TE’s I used today. Since I suck at tracking where my hits are coming from I can’t honestly tell you which produced the better results. Although, I can guarantee that the majority came from ClixSense.

Really, going to bed now.

Night all!!

Get Addicted to the Joust

May 22nd, 2009

Okay, right off the bat, let me just tell you that I’m really not into role playing, fantasy, D&D, or W.O.W… the main reason, is that I know that if I started playing online games my kids might not ever see their father again. “Sorry Kalynn, Dad can’t read to you tonight, he’s trying to defeat Gargamel”..oh wait, that was the smurfs

Anyways, I would just get way to addicted if I started playing W.O.W or whatever. So I’ll restrain myself for now and wait until the kids are in college and the wife dumps me ( I’ll be 60 then, should be okay at that point ).

So where am I going with this post? Well, I got another payment from one of my favorite Traffic Exchanges today, and it reminded me that I’ve been putting off writing about Royal Surf.

I know it’s only $21, but it’s just one of many PayPal payments I’ve enjoyed from Royal Surf. Normally, Robert Kelly ( the owner ) takes about three to four days after a payout request is made to pay me. This commission got to me in less that 48 hours. Thanks Robert!!

Royal Surf is a Traffic Exchange that has a fun little twist to it. Every fifteen pages surfed gives you an opportunity to play the joust game. You basically move one space at a time until you get to the bottom of the screen and battle the Dragon, Dark Lord, Witches or whoever the opponent is that game. Along the way you find extra surf credits, magic items etc…

If your not familiar with Traffic Exchanges or Manual Surfs. What they are, are outstanding resources for web traffic to your blog, website or affiliate link. Plus, you can earn some pretty swell commissions ( and extra credits ) from referral upgrades and purchases. Royal Surf pays up to 75% commissions.

Now here’s a quick note about what to expect from TE’s. Everyone and their hamster are using the same Referral Links ( URL ). So don’t expect every hit to your page to be a sale or sign up. Traffic Exchanges are a tremendous resource for web traffic, commissions and in the case of Royal Surf tons of dorky FUN. Don’t get discouraged if one thousand hits to your website produces only one new referral, or even none. Spend some time creating splash pages. Standing out with something different will greatly increase your results. I personally love Splash Page Maker, you can use whatever you want.

Okay, that’s it. Now get your butts over to Royal Surf and start surfing.

I received quite a few emails and messages from yesterdays post about creating screen shots. ALL POSITIVE!! Thanks guys, you really made my day!
