Enrique de Vilnius, President of Ethos FR, recently signed the official Government and Export contracts with Chinese Officials 07-05-2006 in Shanghai, China in a public ceremony as part of the city-wide Inaugural Event celebrating double digit reduction in air pollution in that city. China is using Ethos FR as part of their country-wide program to reduce pollution in anticipation of the 2008 Olympics and 2010 World Cup Soccor events to be hosted in several major cities.

Introduced to U.S. consumers in April, save gas and diesel. Published savings 7 - 19%. My personal experience is that my family saves over $200 every month using Ethos FR. Ethos FR is only available through a 4-Ecorp distributor.

How a One-Page website can earn $500+ using Adsense Arbitrage

Do you use Pay Per Click (PPC) systems such as Google Adwords to drive traffic to your programs to boost your sales? Lately, for curiousity sake, I checked the term "cashflowpc" and came up with one adword campaign running with the keyword "cashflowpc". So there was no competition for this keyword and the advertiser could have a field day with a low bid. He literally commandered the field, so to say, as all searches for this keyword will bring up his adword campaign and he would be getting most of the traffic from that campaign.

So if you are not using Adwords in your advertising campaigns, it maybe a good time to look this over, especially if you are looking for more traffic for your cashflowpc business.

Often, I have been asked this question by adword users and adsense publishers : Why is it some internet marketers can make $500+ to $1000+ from one website ...even a one-page website...while many others can only earn peanuts from their websites? After all, they are all participating in the same Google Adsense publishing program! To them, it was bewildering, to say the least.

I used to ask this same question too as I was researching into the profitable models to earn adsense income and wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

In my research (my caveat is that my sampling population is relatively small, but sufficient to give a general picture), I found two startling discoveries:

1. Those earning more than 4 figures were either running sites based on autogenerated sites with a concept of "build, build and build", or a pure content site infused with unique articles, or a mini site of one-page based on an article that can be reprint rights article or a private label right article.
2. From the above 3 models, the majority of those claiming to earn in excess of $500 per website per month belonged to the one-page mini web site category.

In other words, the majority of those claiming to earn in excess of $500 per month per web site from adsense were running just a simple one-page website!

Now, what was the secret of their amazing earning capacity for a one-page website, as compared to a web site of pure content with hundreds of pages that have been indexed by the major search engines?

While there were many factors that can lead to this nature of success of the one-page mini site, I discovered that there was one COMMON FACTOR that stood out.

All the owners of the one-page mini sites claimed to run PPC (pay per click ) campaigns to drive traffic to their one-page mini sites at low cost and to earn the difference between their cost of the PPC campaign and the adsense income!

In other words, they arbitrage between an adwords campaign and an adsense campaign, making the difference in between.

Here is how it works in simple terms:

They create a one-page website using a reprint right article that they can get from an article depository eg. ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com or they write their own unique article based on a keyword or they use a private label right article.

They find a host of related keywords at low bids and run an adwords campaign on those keywords and get traffic to go to their one page website. If the PPC traffic were to click on a high paying advertisement on their one-page website, they would be able to secure a profit which is the difference between the cost of the adword campaign and the payout from the adsense click over a period of time.

By leveraging on this difference, it was possible for them to drop any campaign that was clearly losing money for them, keeping those that break-even and allowing those that turned out to be big winners to continue their runs.

It was the big winners that ran up massive profits for them and increased their adsense income manifold.

Are my results skewed? Admitedly, this may be so, and given a bigger sampling population, the results may be different. But in this research, it was clear running a one page website with adwords and adsense enabled the publisher to earn a big profit. The solution? TEST it out on your own sites.

So if you are an adsense publisher, you may wish to explore this adsense-adwords arbitrage technique to turbo boost your adsense income.

One word of advice though - research your technique well and know that PPC campaigns can chalk up pretty fast in terms of cost and if the campaign is not working for you, drop it fast. Research and learn the skills to arbitrage your website with adwords before you even start any campaign. Then you will enjoy good success!

The 2 Faces of FFA Marketing

There is a LOT of information, misinformation and controversy in regards to FFA boards (Free For All.) and the sometimes related venues called Classified Ad Boards. Most of the detractors seem to be those trying to SELL you something else: sell being the operative word in this regards. Not-with-standing this, there are some misconceptions regarding boards which I hope this post will dispel somewhat.

FFA marketing falls into 2 broad catagories - posting your links free to the boards and going Pro and emailing your ads daily to the leads.

(Those who posted their links free to the boards.) Let us start with posting your links free: A. Posting your links free to FFA boards: Personally, I equate FFA and other "classified ad" boards online to those found in newspapers, shoppers, the telephone book and other printed venues which provide "classified ads" offline with one exception: while sometimes they are free, usually the offline classifieds cost a minimal amount of money.

Online or off, the effectiveness of each ad (and its value) depends on a lot of factors: the actual readership (membership) of the venue, the ad copy itself, placement, time of placement, distribution and etc. Just like you and your local paper or shopper or whatever, most readers do not obsessively read each and every ad placed in the classified section. They may scan. They may ignore. They may be looking for only a very specific item. Classifieds are NOT NEWS! (although some masquerade as such.)

They are useful and a staple in most publications and their effectiveness varies considerably. The most important thing to keep in mind is that a reader's needs change from moment to moment. At one reading they are not looking for you offer while next reading they are. Or, a year from now the reader may say Hey! I remember seeing this ad from like last year....maybe something really up with this... No kidding here. I have people email me sayin they just joined one of my venues only because the have seen my venues advertised for the past....well, 2 years.

Thing is, you have to hang in there for this to happen. Ads/sites placed on FFA boards on the internet pretty much follow the pattern of their print- and non-cyber space relative. Effectiveness depending upon a number of factors.

With one 2 exceptions: 1. They are free! Posting your links DO NOT COST YOU ANYTHING. 2. THE MORE THE BETTER. You want to get those links up on every available board possible.

These exceptions make FFA postings unique and create some misunderstandings and misconceptions. Let us start with #1:

1. POSTINGS ARE FREE: Because of this they tend to be "short lived" and roll off quickly. So you need to constantly repost. This means you want access to a submitter. Now, because they are free, YOU GET RETURN EMAIL! The email comes from the owners, admins and Pro members of each board. These people pay money every month for the right and privilege to send those who post their ads free to the boards THEIR ads. This is how it all works. YOU post your ads to boards that someone pays for the script and hosting fee. Herein lays some of the controversy: people forget they posted their ads/links free and get upset when they receive email.

Another source for controversy: the people who get emailed HARVEST THOSE ADDRESSES then start sending YOU email. Or they put an autoresponder on their email. This is a fact of FFA marketing and one you need to be prepared to deal with. So always use a marketing email when you post your links. Do note that most FFA boards and networks specifically state autoresponders and harvesting of emails are NOT ALLOWED. Respect this rule please.

2. THE MORE THE BETTER: This is very true with FFA and other classified venues. The key is in A LOT! Because they are free they tend to roll off individual boards quickly, so you want to post as frequently as possible. And, just as in your local paper, shopper or other print venue, you want to keep your ad out there as much and as long as you can. A person may not be looking for your specific product today, but tomorrow is a different set of possibilities! This means you want to use FFA submitters.

There are one or two good free blasters on the market, but, like anything else, the best you pay for. (or someone else does and then includes the service in their own particular site or venue.) However you acquire them, use them to the fullest! Another interesting aspect of using FFA boards is that some of the major Search Engines - like Yahoo - still pay attention to them and count them and your posted links in as popularity. This is nothing to be 'sneezed' at or disregarded lightly.

Now, besides the fact that someone will eventually read and respond to your FFA/classified ad, there is one other thing rather unique involving posts to them:

they create link-back

to from their site to yours. Interesting to me is some of those trying to sell you some other means of advertising will try to tell you that this does not occur. But it does. Now, you are competing with the hundreds (even thousands) who post religiousely and a lot constantly so an occasional post by you won't make much difference in the Search Engines. However CONSISTANT posting will.

So, my advice is to use FFA posts, use several FFA submitters and do this constantly and consistently.

B. The flip side of posting your link free is going Pro and emailing your ads daily to the leads. As in all email marketing, this has its pros and cons. I feel it is one more TOOL and useful in its own right. Does every person you email your ad to read your ad? Of course not - neither do the safe list members. However, most people at least SCAN subject lines and will open emails that interest them. (There are articles on this topic elsewhere on the forum.) Each day the leads are deposited into your FFA site like Cashflowpc FFA. These leads all come from FFA lead providers - sites which link to thousands, sometimes billions of FFA, classified pages and message boards.

The FFA site is linked to these huge networks and receive the email addresses of those postng to the entire network every 24 hours. Using the onboard mailer provided by the individual FFA site, you send your ad to the leads one time. Note: some of your so called 'bulk' leads which you can purchase from venues actually come from FFA sites. The practice of selling these bulk leads has helped fuel some of the controversy surrounding sending emails to FFA leads.

Remember, when you post your link free you agree to receive from the Pro members and owners of the boards but only once from each member. This is one of the reasons why FFA sites like Cashflowpc FFA has the members emailing the leads from within the site itself rather than sending you a list of email addresses. Abuses with people reusing leads over and over again also has contributed to the controversy surrounding FFA marketing.

Some sites will email you the leads daily so you can download them into your own bulk mailer and etc and then email the leads yourself. I highly advise against doing this for several reasons: a. ISP's are very email market unfriendly. The quickest way to get your email account taken away from you is to be accused of spam. The CAN-SPAM laws are very strict and unforgiving. Simply being ACCUSED of spam can lead to some terrible complications which are not easily overcome. b. You really are allowed to email leads once only. Should you ignore this and email them more than once and they complain, you risk losing your email account and other penalties.

So, it is always adviseable to use a reputable FFA service and one that provides mailing the leads via the onboard mailing system. Buyer beware in this as there are some FFA providers in which the leads are NEVER deposited to the onboard mailing system forcing you to email those leads yourself using your own bulk mailer or email address. Run away from those venues quickly. They tend to be scams.

This aspect of FFA marketing is very similar to the email marketing you do via safelists. You send your email ads and offers to people's inboxes. And, as in all email marketing, your subject line is the single most important element of your ad. Content is important as well of course but key is getting a person to OPEN your email in the first place. Other articles on this forum will discuss subject line strategies.

In summary, you have two different types of FFA marketing which are useful to you as you market your sites/goods and services:

1. Posting your link/s to the boards - build's links for Search Engine ranking primarily while displaying your ad for those who do read the boards.

2. Email marketing your ads via the Pro membership - you send your ads to those who posted their link/s free to the boards.

Stormpay is a payment processor. It's sole purpose is to PROCESS payments - move funds from point a to point b. Period. The past few weeks have revealed some very disturbing business practices which has made this (ex) member very nervous and prompted me to take steps to prepare to close my account with Stormpay:

1. They froze the accounts of major accounts in which large amounts of funds transfered on a daily basis. Stormpay makes unsubstantiated claims of Ponzi to justify the illegal siezure of funds. Yet, consider this:

If Stormpay did not want to do busines with a certian venue or certain programs all that was required was for them to STOP DOING BUSINESS. Simply stop doing business and return those programs money to them. Instead Stormpay got greedy. It's principles decided to STEAL all that money rather than allow the program owners to move their funds to another payment processor.

2. Stormpay's owner reportedly admitted (see Where Did The Money Go???) "... that Stormpay acts as a lender ...

He went on to exlain that the money in users accounts in not completely backed by real funds...

Really? So WHERE are those funds? I know that I put real money from my bank or from the sale of goods and services into that processor. So, just where is (or was) that money?

3. Their help desk has been missing in action for sometimes days on end.

4. They closed their site for several days with a 'down for maintanence' yet then LIED in a public announcement to members that they had been under a DDS attack all that time. Their hosting company denies that Stormpay was ever down or affected by a DDS attack.

5. Stormpay also made false claims of FBI involvement in a joint investigation and that the FBI ordered them to freeze member accounts.

6. When you can get someone to finally respond to a support ticket all you get is finger-pointing and allegations of someone else interfering in their business. Stormpay itself is taking no responsibility for its own actions or ensuring that the members needs are met in a timely manner.

7. There have been wide-spread reports of Stormpay making unauthorized charge backs to bank accounts, credit cards as well as emptying the member accounts of their funds.

8. Stormpay has blocked members from removing their bank and credit card information from their accounts, making everyone who has that information listed vulnerable to unauthorized access and debits.

I did finally receive one of the two fund transfers from 2-2-06 to my bank 2-17-06. Hopefully I receive the second transfer as well. Then, it is time to vote with one's feet and leave Stormpay behind to deal with all the legal ramifications sure to follow in the wake of all the turmoil Stormpay has caused to members and programs alike in the past couple weeks.

Other tips and hints to help you out just incase: Author Topic: How To Stop Storm Pay From Debiting Your Account kenyatta Newbie Posts: 3 How To Stop Storm Pay From Debiting Your Account « on: February 07, 2006, 05:28:48 PM » http://forums.12dailypro.com/smf/index.php?topic=26144.msg145874#msg145874

You can go to your bank and ask them for an ACH Reversal Authorization. This will prevent Storm Pay from debiting your account. This is simply a preventive measure in the event they attempt to debit your account. As I understand it, there is no charge for this service. I just finished talking with my bank and had it placed on my account. It only takes a couple of minutes and is good for 6 months.

This is not something you want to wait and see what's next type of thing but something you want to do ASAP. I did it with my bank over the phone. Hope this helps... Also something I had to learn the hard way from an experince I had back in 2003 : From the representavite at my credit union: Whever possible try to use your bank account when signing up for automatic subscrition plans. [For web site meberships, magazines, ect. Anything where you'll be billed on a regular basis either weekly, monthly, quaterly, or every year.] I don't remeber the exact reasoning but if you use a credit card or debit card when you sign up for a automatic subscription plan it's a lot more difficult to stop the billing.

If you want to be able to easily stop of cut off a subscription for a web site, magazine or anything else use your checking account information. Also take screen shots of your account at your payment processor just incase you ever have any problems. There's a nice little easy to use program called MW Snap that can take screen shots: MW Snap http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html There's also plenty of freeware avaible here are links to two different freeware sites: http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/freeware.html http://www.nonags.com/nonags/index.html Also you'll need a free image host. Here's the one I use: Image Shack http://imageshack.us And just for good measure for future refrence if you live in the United States you can always check out: Consumers Action Handbook http://consumeraction.gov That's all I can think of for now and for all of you trying to recover money from StormPay good luck.

Stormpay - more illegal activities:

02-08-2006 - Stormpay has blocked members from removing their banking and credit card information from their accounts. The only way to accomplish this is via a support ticket. Yet, support tickets from as far back as 2-4-06 remain unanswered by their help desk.

Stormpay members are urged to contact your banking institution and credit card companies and request that they block any attempts by Stormpay to withdraw money or make charges or charge backs to your accounts. Should this occur to you, file a complaint immediately with the State Attorney General of Tennessee and with http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp, http://www.homebasedbusinessreviews.com/reportascam.html and https://www.ripoffreport.com/

As soon as you are able to access your account, make screen shots or copy your account balance and history. Also, any credit card and banking information on file. Also, show where you are unable to remove that information from your account. This is illegal. The more people take action and report Stormpay for their acts, the quicker agencies and officials will take action.

12DailyPro fights back despite personal trials

12DailyPro demonstrated spirit and determination in the face of personal trials in their battle against Stormpayto reclaim their funds which were apparently ceased without legal cause or justification recently. Admin Charis continues to orchestrate her legal endeavors to recover funds frozen by Stormpay and communicated with the members of 12DailyPro Charis - this in the wake of devastating news regarding her father.

You have received a message from 12 Daily Pro:

I want to take this time to update everyone on 4 very important items.

1. StormPay Action Plan
We will be meet with our attorneys tomorrow regarding the unlawful holding of our funds by StormPay.Our intentions are to get the attorney his retainer tomorrow. Members have very generously donated approximately 34% of the needed retainer. We will pull some funds from our operational budget to pool together so the attorneys can move forward. Any additional donations to help offset the costs are still welcome. We have also received notice that a former state senator and attorney is willing to help us in our fight.

In the meantime, StormPay continues to tell more lies about the reason our accounts were suspended. However, rest assured we have damning documentation that will soon expose them for exactly who they are. We will post another update tomorrow on the progress of our legal efforts. Note, as of yet, we have yet to be contacted by any of the nebulous investigators they mention.

2. Additional Representation
We have also had to acquire a different attorney to help manage damage control regarding the libelous accusations StormPay has made against us and our business model.

3. Refunds Will Begin
We will begin issuing refunds tomorrow as we are able. We will begin with the members who chose to have their Egold upgrade withdrawals paid to EMO.Please note that because of the holding of a large portion of our funds, the speed of the payment schedule will be very slow, but we do the best we can.

4. The Convention Will Go On
Due to the overwhelming support of our members and our confidence that we will prevail as a company, we have decided to go forward with the GPT Convention. We hope it will be a time for all of us to come together and strategize for how we can emerge victorious from these recent events with a new dedication toward changing and strengthening this industry.

5. New Site Back On
Due in large part to urgings from many forum members, we will be going forward with the launching of the new site. It will get everyone focused on the future of LifeClicks as well as provide a new revenue stream that will help us speed up the refund process. In this site you will see the exciting future of LifeClicks.

The planning of the new site and the knowledge that the convention will go on, along with the amazing support we have received from members and staff renewed my spirit in a much needed way earlier today. But I have just received some news that has changed that spirit. I have just learned that my father, who recently suffered several strokes, may not make it through the night. I have been a regular fixture on the forum in the past couple of days answering as many questions as I can from members. But in light of this recent development, I will not be on the forum this evening. I ask that all of you keep my father and my family in your thoughts and prayers.

I anticipate the next few days will be very challenging for me on a personal level, but I want you all to know that I remain dedicated to you all and will continue to press on in the best way I know how.
Thank you all again for your support.

Stormpay: WHERE DID THE FUNDS GO??????

Latest communication from 12DailyPro confirms suspected Stormpay misdeeds and leads one to doubt the credibility of anything Stormpay has to say about itself or NETIBA (yes, they are indeed one and the same.):

You have received a message from 12DailyPro:

We wanted to take this time to update everyone on the status of the program and the recent happenings. We know you are all anxious for information. We have spent the entire day trying to forumlate the best strategy for how we deal with the current issues facing the 12DailyPro family.

1. Stormpaydid finally respond to our attorney's request for information. They informed him that the reason they have suspended our account was at the behest of their bank. This is completely different than the reason they released to the Stormpay members, being that they were concerned about autosurf business models.

2. Stormpay also made additional false statements in their email to users. The email claimed that we refused to provide information on our business model. This is false. Mr. McConnell of Stormpay fully understood our business model from the day we began processing transactions with them, in May of 2005. In fact, Mr. Connell just this past Monday asked if he could fly down to meet us and explain why we should choose StormPay as our only payment processor. And as we posted in a member news item a a couple of days ago,

Mr. McConnell blatantly attempted to blackmail us by threatening to freeze our account if we did not remove our other payment processor within 45 minutes.

3. We have also become aware of some very disturbing news about Stormpay, including the fact that they have a very negative rating with the Tennessee Better Buiness Bureau, with dozens of claims against them. They company was also issued a cease and desist order by the State of Tennessee for financial related misdeeds. Stormpay has also begun randomly seizing funds from user accounts, and are currently not honoring some users withdrawal requests. We believe that this is for the same reason they refused to release our funds, because they do not have the funds.

4. In a conversation we had with Stormpay and their attorney this past Monday, Mr. McConnell revealed to us that Stormpay acts as a lender, which is not what they state in their terms of service.

He went on to exlain that they money in users accounts in not ompletely backed by real funds. When I inquired where all of our funds were, he changed the subject

5. At this point, it seems that Stormpay may have begun to randomly refund some members money. Unfortunately this puts us in a very difficult situation. As they have blocked us completely from access to our account, we have no way of knowing who is receiving refunds and who is still owed.

They are creating a situation by where we cannot accurately determine which pending withdrawals need to be cancelled because they have already received refunds from StormPay. In essence they are creating a situation by where they are spending our company money at their own discretion and not providing us with the information we need to meet our obligations to all our members. If indeed our account is frozen, Stormpay should not have access to spend those funds until after an investigation is completed.

6. That said, we are actively trying to determine what legal actions may be at our disposal to try to retrieve our funds so we can issue refunds to all members with any pending withdrawals or active upgrades. In order to insure that as many people can be paid as possible, we will only be paying refunds, not any surf earnings or commissions. At this point with Stormpay holding our funds, we are unable to provide a time schedule for this refunds.

7. Until that time, we will continue EMO payments as we are able starting with the oldest expirations, this would be members who chose to receive their previous E-Gold payments to EMO. Again, we cannot promise any timetable on how fast this payments will be made, but know we will make them as we are able.

8. You will notice that we have suspended new membership and upgrades. We need to take this time to focus on solving our issues with StormPay and getting you all back the money that they are holding under false pretenses. We will continue to update you here as we have more information.

I believe it is time to file with Attorney General of Tennesse and the feds. Funds not backed by real funds? Like - WHERE DID THEY GO?????!!!

Every single Stormpay member has to ask this question: WHERE DID MY FUNDS GO????!!!

Stormpay publishes libelous and self-indicting statement:

I received the following email from Stormpay today in which they make scandelous and libelous (as well as completely unfounded) statements against traffic sites, and then go on to use their statements as justification for interfering with the legitimate business of hundreds of honest venues AND freezing monies belonging to HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of stormpay members.
You can read their statement and make your own decisions. Keep in mind that Stormpay is a PROCESSOR, they are a holding pen for funds only. It is their duty to hold our funds and then transfer them from our account to whomever we choose to transfer funds to and then back again.

The only way a processor can legally freeze any account is ONLY after a complete and thorough investigation has been conducted involving A SPECIFIC COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION and wrong doing has been legally established without doubt against A SPECIFIC COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION. You cannot simply blanket apply a vague statement or suspicion against multiple sites claiming they all somehow violate Stormpay's policies. Stormpay has not conducted any thourough or conclusive investigations into ANY of the sites it targeted and then froze.

It is interesting to note that they targeted high-volume venues in which large amounts of money moved quickly between the members and the site. The fact that they froze large volume accounts indicates that funds are not available as they should be.

Every venue and member affected by Stormpay's irrational and uncalled for actions recently should be calling for an audit of Stormpay to determine why they are suddenly freezing accounts.

It is also interesting to note that the owner of Stormpay has indictments against him and Stormpay by the State Of Tennessee for fraud, scam and Ponzi and that they themselves operate a Paid to Click/Surf program within Stormpay itself.

This is an exact reprint of the article sent to Stormpay members 02-03-06:
StormPay Inc. Important message from StormPay Inc. Fri Feb 03, 2006 6k

Dear StormPay Member,
Please read this news update as it contains important information concerning your StormPay account as well as spends from your account to the Auto-Surf industry.

Traditionally auto-surf is a traffic exchange industry as to where persons gain traffic credits for promoting their URL (website address) in exchange for viewing websites offered by others. Any monies taken in on these types of traffic exchanges are normally for upgrades to have your URL (website) shown at a higher rate of exposure. For an example of how a true auto-surf works, you can visit http://www.autohits.dk/ or other sites comparable.

Paid to click, or Paid to Read types of sites are normally where an advertiser pays to have his/her ad displayed and the end user gets paid a portion of the advertiser dollars for clicking on and reading/viewing the ad. The end user who is being paid for reading/viewing the advertisement does not spend any monies to participate. An example of this type of service is StormPay's own StormClix where participants are not charged to view advertisements and are rewarded an account credit for viewing the advertisement.

It has recently been brought to the attention of StormPay Inc. that the current rash of new Auto-Surf and Paid to Read accounts are NOT operating in the traditional manner. Further investigation by both StormPay and other outside investigational organizations/law enforcement agencies have have drawn early conclusions that these types of programs are nothing more than well hidden Ponzi or Pyramid schemes. While many of you may not agree, or wish to agree that these programs or illegally operated ponzi's, there are many facts that that are unavailable to you, or that may have been hidden by the operators of these programs. Please note that StormPay's user agreement has always banned merchant accounts for these types of activities.

Throughout the investigations into these programs, StormPay has asked the Merchant(s) to provide a detailed explanation of the workings of these programs including how profit margins and customer payments are made. These questions were asked point blank by StormPay while on a conference call with the owner/operator and their attorney. The requests for information from the "merchant" were simply denied leaving StormPay no choice other than to report those findings to the other organizations who required the information from StormPay. These findings and reports caused the seizure of funds of the merchant(s) StormPay accounts until all legal matters are resolved. Please be reminded that this could have been avoided if the merchant(s) could have, or would have provided information proving no illegal pyramid or ponzi activity.

Furthermore, investigations and calculations show that these merchants were already at an upside down point where they are/were not able to meet the financial obligations made to their program participants. These merchants who were already failing to make good on their claims seem to now be using StormPay as their Scape Goat for the failure of their own pyramid or ponzi scheme. These programs are always doomed to failure and for that very reason, deemed illegal. Please site the following from StormPay's user agreement:

17. Get Rich Quick Schemes: Get Rich Quick Schemes are prohibited resell items by StormPay. Get Rich Quick schemes include any type of self-employment, start-up businesses, or investment opportunity where the claims of profit or returns on investment are unrealistic or unsupported. By law, if a business opportunity costs $500.00 USD or more, the promoter is required to support any claims regarding earnings or profits with written documentation.
Pyramids don't pay. StormPay Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission caution consumers about clubs or programs that promise quick money for recruiting new members. Don't bank on the pyramid promise that someone else will pay you. For more information on get-rich-quick schemes, visit the FTC at www.ftc.gov

We know that the most prominent question in your mind is What happens to the money I sent these programs? Answer: At the moment any funds frozens in these merchant's accounts are frozen and not payable until all investigations are completed. At such time investigations are completed, any remaining funds will be released to the merchant's, or refunded to the purchasers, based on the outcome of the investigations. Please be aware if determination is made that these are ponzi schemes, a great deal of the funds received by these merchant's will have been used to pay obligations to those who joined earlier into the programs. In other words, they will have used your money to pay other members thus creating a deficit of funds needed to refund all users. Please be patient while investigators decide the best procedures for handling this serious situation. Contacting your credit issuers or banks requesting chargebacks only compounds the problems for all involved, including the merch! ants and their customers, and delays returns of any funds. These actions could also be punishable by law.
StormPay will keep you updated of developments as information is available and allowed to be released.
StormPay Inc.
==========

Again, note that Stormpay has completely FAILED to conduct any thourough investigations into any of the sites which they recently froze

They themselves are the cause of those sites being unable to pay their members! The funds are supposedly there in the Stormpay accounts - Stormpay itself has frozen the monies - illegally and without cause or justification.

I once again urge every person affected by Stormpay's actions to file complaints with the agencies listed above and to call for a complete audit of Stormpay to determine where all that money (that does not belong to them) really is.

Storm Pay decision derails 12DailyPro

Stormpay Developments - by Charis - 12DailyPro Admin at 2006-02-02 16:42:15

We have done some additional research and as you may have noticed, we have come to some decisions regarding our current issues with Stormpay.

We did everything we could to meet and live up to StormPay's blackmail attempts on Monday.

We removed EMO, a payment processor with who we have a very solid relationship. At StormPay's demand, we completely eliminated all choice for our members of payment processors and put our business in a very difficult postition.

After all of that, it seems that we have been betrayed. The existance of 12Daily Pro has profited StormPay over the course of the months perhaps more than any other of their clients or users combined. They seem to now have a problem with autosurf; we find it curious that they didn't have a problem with taking our money.

We have learned that StormPay has suspended many other autosurfs as well witin the past couple of days. It appears they may also be sending out libelous answers to members questions about why we were suspended. We want to let you know that we have decided to become proactive in this matter, after a full day has passed with no explanation from them of why our account has been suspended. Our attorney has submitted a letter to their attorney via email explaining our postion and requesting a response.

Barring a legitimate explanation by Stormpay within a timely manner, we will be filing immediate legal action to recover all our funds by legal force if necessary so we can meet our responsibilities to all of our StormPay members in a timely fashion.

We will update you on the progress of this matter. We promise to fight them to the death for money that rightfully belongs to you and us.

In the meantime, since our account has been locked, we cannot at this time make any StormPay payments. We also have been denied by StormPay the withdrawal of funds that we earmarked for the funding of our EMO account. So, this evening we will have to weigh a lot of factors in determining how we will structure a recovery plan for our Stormpay funds as well as determine an ammeanable and fair payment schedule for all members with currently pending withdrawals.

We will have some answers for you on this by midday tomorrow. In the meantime, we have enabled EMO upgrades again, staff will be focusing on support tickets and the launch of the new program hopefully later tomorrow. We need you all to understand that this is a very difficult situation which we never could have predicted. There will be a lot of change and uncertainty in the coming days. But know we are doing all we can to insure that StormPay does not bring this program down nor take advantage of members that we have spent months caring for.

We completely understand that you are all concerned as we are as well. We ask for your support and patience at this time. Rest assured we are here working our butts off for you. You can help by not creating more work by staff with support tickets about these issues.

We will update the membership as a whole as developments arise in the member news area, so please check it often for new postings.

We will not let anyone destroy this program that our staff and all of you have worked so hard to build. NOW is the time when we PROVE we are pros!

Search Engines - Get on the Map

You have a business on a site. You need to get people TO that business. One of the hands down best ways to do that is to have good Search Engine position, aka ranking.

Let us say you are looking for Cashflowpc. You heard about Cashflowpc, maybe read an ad which you did not respond to or whatever. So, you go to your browser and do a search on the word cashflowpc. The results come back in pages. You view those pages starting with page one.

How did those sites get there anyway? The answer is not so simple these days. But, basically you need a website that is acceptable by the Search Engines and then you need to get it indexed, or added, to the Search Engines Database.

So what is a Search Engine anyway? It is a site/script with a huge database, a collection of sites placed on the Internet. You access the database by entering a word or phrase called a "keyword" or keywords in a search box or form. The Engine then searches it's database to return the results to you listed from 1 to ... depending on how many "matches" it found relative to the keyword you used. The top sites, or most popular sites are listed in descending order beginning with the top ranked site.

There are "Major" Engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Then there are satellites and other Engines attached or associated to or with the Majors. Then there are hundreds of "Minor" Engines. Major or Minor, they all play an important role in helping the billions of Internet users find stuff.

Getting listed is called Indexing. The Engines have robots called spiders, little programs that go out and "crawl" sites looking for the information they need to add a site to their database. The information is found in what are called "Meta Tags." The most important tags being a description and then the keywords. In order for a site to be listed in a SE it must have a relevant descripton and keywords listed on a page (seen in the backround, you don't see it when you view the site). To get listed then:

*You need your website. Most important, you need an ACCEPTABLE website. If you have what is called a main or unique site and address like http://www.xtreamsurf.com,/ you have a site which is perfectly acceptable by the Search Engines. However, if you have what is referred to as an affiliate link, like http://www.viptravelrewards.com/code.asp?c=agy5j5, that is not.

Unfortunately in 2005 SEs began to not accept affiliate links any longer.

So, if you are an affiliate member of a program, you need need to be creative to Get on the SE Map. We will discuss ways to do this in this section of the forum on other articles.

* You need to OPTIMIZE your sites. Peter will discuss ways to do this and also strategies for attracting the SE Robots to your site. * Once you have your sites, you need to submit them to the Engines at least once a month. You will find various submitters on the forum and in the Xtream Center is another tool to help you do just that.

* Once you get your sites indexed (or added to the Search Engines) you will need to drive traffic to your site. In other words, get visitors. The more traffic, the higher your positioning in the engines. There are many ways to do this and we will have a number of articles which discuss strategies in future articles.
