Fires, Timers And Payment Processors

Hi folks,

This week’s TrafficPunk update is going to have to come early but as always, there’s a little somethin’ in it for you :)

Important:
First of all, SafePay Solutions will no longer be offered at TrafficPunk.
I recently changed ISPs, so their system naturally detected an IP change.
So in this case, they send a verification email to the address on file but the problem is that email no longer exists, so I can’t receive the verification code.

I’ve looked everywhere for contact info and couldn’t find a means of contacting them.
Their site is behind a proxy also which is interesting.
For now, I’m forced to no longer accept payments through Safepay.

If you have an upgraded membership at TrafficPunk through SafePay solutions, please cancel it and resubscribe using one of our alternate payment options.

6 second timer for next 24 hours:
Surfing is way up right now, so this is just another reward for the awesome members I have at TrafficPunk.
I’ll leave this timer at 6 seconds for 24 hours. Enjoy!

The California Fires:
One of the reasons I decided to post early this week.
I live in the South Orange County area in California and the fires are nearby in all directions except for West towards the ocean.
At last count, there were a total of 20 burning out of control.
Portions of two neighboring cities have been evacuated, so Im going to spend the rest of this week glued to the news and ready for anything just in case.
For now, everything where I’m at is ok but still a little too close for comfort since I can see some of the flames from my backyard.
If you or someone you know has been evacuated or has lost their home to these senseless acts of arson, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Have a safe and prosperous weekend,

Ryan Hogan

Blog Rush Bites the Big One.

No, I’m not afraid to say it.

Although it was unfinished when released, Blog Rush seemed like it would be a cool little program with lots of potential at the time.- A Traffic Exchange of sorts but strictly for blogs.
I’m a sucker for cool new gadgets and toys.
Especially if they have anything to do with traffic generation or Internet Marketing.

However, something happened today that really pissed me off regarding Blog Rush.
It wasn’t the technical shortcomings of the program but rather a service style that in my opinion, leaves a lot to be desired.
After attempting to log into my Blog Rush account today with no success, I was notified that they had de-activated my account.

You see, they seem to have a problem with sites they feel are “advertising too much”.
Now, we all know this blog is about Internet Marketing, hence the title.
Advertising and the discussion of advertising services is the name of the game.
This blog fully abides by the guidelines they have set forth such as:

It is updated a minimum of once a month,
It does not contain, adult, illegal, racist, warez or other such material, blah blah blah.
Does not contain automatically generated content.
Has more than 10 posts.

TrafficPunk and Resale Rocket are services that I provide.
The purpose of this blog is to provide a forum of discussion of these services as well as Internet Marketing in general for members to receive updated information.

What bugs me the most is that after referring several members to Blog Rush, I can’t even log into an area to view my stats, referrals and credits I still have left in the system.
I’m completely locked out of my back office.
And to make it feel even more like I’m a child being called to the time out corner, they ask you to remove the Blog Rush code from your site.
Oh well, that’s cool. You guys are welcome.

I’ve heard some say that Blog Rush was dead on arrival.
Maybe there’s more than one reason for it?
It never delivered a single hit let alone a “Rush” anyway.
Good Riddance.

SpeedPass, A winner and something free..

Hi folks, welcome back!

Hawaii was awesome and luckily, everything went smoothly during the week.

Congratulations!
Just want to formally congratulate Michel Lavergne for a job well done in the recent
Affiliate Funnel
contest.
One of the prizes was a 3 month VIP membership at TrafficPunk and Michel
snapped that up!
By the way, Affiliate Funnel has already exceeded the 7,000 member mark!

Some praise:
While I was away, I received some comments that made my day:
Susan Boston writes:
I just wanted to tell you that I surfed over 100 sites today in Traffic Punk
and wanted to commend you on it’s operation.
It ran smooth with no glitches at all.
Thanks for the great surf. I will be back. :)

Thank you Susan!

October review by “BlogTommy”: http://onequartlow.com/page9.html
Thanks for the kind words, Tommy!

Another Speedpass this week?
This week we had a 3 day speedpass from Monday to Wednesday but I’m in a good mood,
so what the hell, lets do another!
Get an extra +.25 for every page surfed between 1:30pm PST and Saturday 1:30pm PST.

Free Stuff:
A lot of people ask me what antivirus software I use.. What is the best?
Well for many reasons, I never was a fan of Norton or McAffee.
What has saved my butt many a time is a killer, light weight program called Avast!
I’ve tried other free antivirus programs in the past such as AVG but Avast blows even the big dogs away.

What I like best is that its super effective, its light weight, meaning that it won’t install 200 mb of useless crap on your system like others will, it has these nifty audio alerts and of course, it’s FREE!

Download Avast here: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

That’s all for now. Have an excellent weekend!
