9PlanetReviews ADVERTISING and MARKETING new site.

I have completed (I think) my new site: 9PlanetReviews ADVERTISING and MARKETING.

All of the details are on the front page. This is my first Advertising Venue that I hope to make into a big success with many folks. It’s not a surf site. But it’s pretty close. You will be able to receive SOLO adverts from other members (and send SOLO ads to those members) and you can earn points/credits by clicking on the one link at the bottom of each SOLO advert.

You can also advertise banners, not just web pages. Am just going to let you read the front page, why bore you here?

Now read closely: there are two types of memberships: FREE and Pro. Obviously the Pro memberships have more benefits and features. The cost of a Pro membership is normally fifty cents per month (wooh, that’s going to bust the bank eh?) via Paypal or AlertPay, but for the first 50 members that stampede in? FREE Pro Upgrades! For Life! Run and get your FREE Pro Upgrade Account!

PIXEL ADS at pixelads.9planetreviews.com

I have added the ability for everyone to add both paid pixel ads and free pixel ads. Go to this link and you will see what I mean. The PAID zone is the first area in Grey, the FREE zone is the area in blue-grey just below it. The PAID zone allows you to buy pixels at twenty five cents per block of pixels. You can create your own pixel ad on the fly or you can upload your logo or banner. Just play with it (play in the free zone first, so you get the hang of it before you decide to post your ad in the paid zone).

So for example. Click on Get Pixels up top (once you’re there). Choose the type of zone. You will be able to upload an image. Don’t worry, it gets resized to fit the number of blocks you chose for your area.

So let’s say you chose 9 blocks, a 3 x 3 block. That would cost you 0.25 x 9 = $2.25 USD (and a block that is more visible is 5 x 5 which will cost $6.25). The s/w will let you choose the shape of the Super Block, simply by using your mouse and clicking. If you choose a square block, say, then you must click every single block within that square, else holes will be left (which can make for an interesting effect but am not sure you want that, some will though).

Paid ads last for one year. Free ads last for 60 days. Is that fair? I think so. Let me know if otherwise. Use the Support link just below the blog button up top for feedback and suggestions.

UPDATE:

Ok folks, let’s have some fun with PIXELADS at 9planetreviews.com. Be creative. Play in the FREE ZONE for now, get used to it. Create some really neat graphics and icons. Not everything has to fit into a square or a rectangle after all. Create zig zags, lines, circles, ovals, a circle with a square hole in it. And so on. Let’s see who’s the most creative. I will choose one that I really like and let you recreate that one in the paid area for free, for a full year!

Caution: when possessing a block, the next block that you place or posses has to touch the other block via a side, not an apex or corner as the software will not let you use corners to touch. But am sure some of you will be crafty enough to achieve that effect (hint: matching backgrounds creates an illusion).

If you wish to add more than one FREE pixeladvert then for each one you must use a unique (different) e-mail address.

Right now I have a FREE Zone and a PAID Zone. Am thinking of adding, at the top (so it is first to display) an ULTRA Premium Zone where the blocks cost double that of those in the PAID (Premium) Zone. Sounds good? Now go and be creative. Play. Oh and be sure to check your junk folder for the pixelad activation e-mail. I had one go to my junk folder, so I know.

News: I've added an ULTRA Premium Zone, at the top, where it will cost folks $5 per block and the advert lasts for 3 years. Why? It is the first zone that folks see when they go to the site.

The second zone is the Premium Zone at 25 cents per block and the advert lasts for one year.

The third zone is free (2 months).

PROGRAMME REVIEW: AdGateWorld (.com)

This one is being heavily advertised right now and is being touted as an ASD clone.

Here is something interesting: "It's run by Professionals who were big players in ASD and know the pitfalls as they went through them."

Really!? Well rob me blind! "Know the pitfalls"???? The only real pitfall was that ASD was set up as a scam along with the other scams that the guy has run or was running! So what darn pitfalls are these so-called "Professionals" talking about? That statement is just meant to lure you in.

"....this program is operating outside of the United States which means the SEC (Security Exchange Commission) cannot interfere!" Sure. But that is no protection. If the Authorities decide to shut it down? They have very long arms.

Well, there is nothing really to review right now as they will be launching in about a month.

Here is a teaser on the site: "Stop being an unpaid viewer of daily advertisements and secure your share of the $21 Billion Dollar advertising industry."

Of course that is a lie in plain sight. A lie you say? Yes, a lie I say. How much of that 21 Billion dollar pie slice represents the advertising industry on autosurfs, surfs, and Social Network sites? Probably close to zero. Not even worth mentioning. Why? Because just think of the folks who are using those sites! They are mostly gamblers, Affiliate Marketers, Network Marketers, and basically folks that are trying to convince folks who are also trying to convince other folks to join their programmes, matrices, MLMs, NMs, lists, and so on. In other words, they are NOT the folks who are out there shopping, trying to find products they want to buy, you know... the rest of the $21 Billion industry!

You see, that's one reason why ASD failed. They tried to bring in REAL advertisers.. .and those folks lost interest after they figured out who the Audience were. And the Audience turned out NOT the audience they were targeting! But of course, as usual, I could be way off on this... right?

So don't be fooled by such foolish statements.

Now, put all that aside. If you simply wish to advertise your particular opportunities that you are into, then sure, a site like that will do you just fine! You may even be able to make some money from it before it too collapses. To that end am probably going to play in it when it launches, just for a bit. One or two red flags and am gone (and will also tell you about it when I see those red flags). Right now they are still not yet opened, but in pre-launch, so you can't really lose anything. I’d go for it. And I did.

My link is here.

SCAM REVIEW: CommerceBarter.org

PROGRAMME REVIEW: CommerceBarter (.org)

Goldcoders HYIP script. commercebarter.org - NOT Licensed, oh well. Could be one of those clones that does not need licensing. Too bad. These folks came out with the original script and these Admins won't even give them what they are due, a measly $95! It's a disgrace. Moving on.

Well I looked at the html source code and it seems the stats are static, set manually. They are not being pulled from mySQL in realtime. So the stats are fake. You can see that it is static if you simply refresh the home page a few times. The number of visitors online will not change, nor members online. Now go to another browser and sign in. Refresh the screen in the other browser. Members online should have gone up immediately by one, but does not. I tried this out with Premium Compounder, and even though the source code looks like the stats table is static, it is not. As the above tests really do change the number of members online and the visitors online changes almost with each refresh, up and down.

Now... I can stop reviewing this one because of the plans:

300% After 1 Day(Automatic Withdrawals)
500% After 2 Days(Automatic Withdrawals)
800% AFTER 3 DAYS (Automatic Withdrawals)


Ok, this one is clearly a scam. I know some of you are new to all this so I will repeat myself for the 23rd time: when you see plans like the above? Run like hell. Those are clearly impossible. They may pay out some guy that puts in five bucks, but not $500. Technical issues will develop, payments will thus be delayed (or for some other reason) and soon enough these folks will run. With your money.

By the way: Running days: 302. Chicken poop. The stats, as I said, are set manually. There is no way this one has lasted almost a year with those kinds of returns. And here is my proof:

DNS records show: Domain Name:COMMERCEBARTER.ORG
Created On: 16-Apr-2008 18:19:29 UTC

That's about 7 months old, right? From mid-april to about mid-oct. That's about 215 days or less. So how do they get off saying they are running 302 days now? See? The only one that should be running is you, the reader.

Have a nice day.

My second video, watch it.

PROGRAMME REVIEW: CentAsiaDevelopment (.com)

Wow, this one looks slick. Not boring at all. The 22 year old (my conjecture) living in his mom's basement must be a very good Javascript programmer.

Here are the keywords that he is using to attract suckers to this one:

meta name="keywords" content="invest , central asian , liberty reserve , high profit , investing , chinese , weekly , daily"

Here's the intro that he posts on the site:

"Centasia Development is a leader in the construction, mineral extraction, and natural gas warehousing fields in the Central Asian republics. Providing both funding and management solutions for government contracts involving the exploitation and warehousing of the vast untapped resources of these territories, Centasia is a fast paced conglomerate in a leadership position in the region.

Invest with security and stability, as Centasia is now open to the public for additional funding sources. With your investment compiled into our construction and resource development capital pool, we will continue to help develop the Central Asia of the 21st Century!"

Now I want you to put your thinking cone on (the one that the Teacher made you put on and sit on a chair in a corner to improve your thinking ability, and memory way back in grade school). [Hey, this has a basis in fact... that cone focuses subtle energies and apparently does improve brain function... but most folks have forgotten that.]

Ok, now that you are thinking... ask yourself: "Why would a CONGLOMERATE [a large group of Companies by definition] want my five bucks? Even my $100 or more? There are enough private/Angel investors out there with deep pockets that would take them up on this and minimize the accounting and legal headaches. You see? There is not even a contract on the site! You're just expected to willy nilly give up your $5 to $10,000 without an guarantee, without any shares in the Company/Conglomerate, without signing any papers... How real can this be?

This one reminds me of a German concern that was involved in some kind of refinery (or was it mining) equipment? They were even more convincing than this one.

This one also reminds me of Premium Fund (although some of us were smart enough to make money there before they ran).

By the way, the Admin/Author keeps using the word "exploit", that could be a Freudian slip.

So where are they located?

"Our office is located at Astrakhanka, Akmola Oblast, Kazakhstan."

Kazakhstan??? Oh my. Has scam written all over it. Hi, my name is Borat. The Plot: Kazakh TV talking head Borat is dispatched to the United States to report on the greatest country in the world. With a documentary crew in tow, Borat becomes more interested in locating and marrying Pamela Anderson. See the trailer: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809426565/trailer

Ok, now back to CENTASIA: So this guy has an "office" in his mom's home (I don't think they have basements) in Kazakhstan and he's into exploiting the resources of the Central Asian nations? Yeah, for sure. Right. I believe him. Aha. Don't make me laugh.

"How do we know your business is legal and registered?
CENTASIA is registered in Astrakhanka, Kazakhstan, and operates from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tojikstan." Yes, but not in Central Asia, right? Right.

And get ahold of this: "Why is the Chinese translation incomplete?
We are currently working with our associates to finish the Chinese section of the site - due to the Olympics, our translator had been contracted to a different task." Really? A CONGLOMERATE cannot afford to retain their translator????? Too funny.

Ok, I think you get the picture. Stay the heck away from this one.

I have decided to ad a surf site: HitHounds

I have decided to ad a surf site, not from some big dogs, but from someone that deserves a chance. Here is the letter I received:

“Good Morning js,

Hope you are doing well this morning. I don't know what the protocol for this is but I wanted to let you know that I have a new Manual Traffic exchange website. It is called www.hithounds.com. I offer a higher surf ratio than any other traffic exchange out there as far as I know. Take a look. If you would like you can post it and if any of your readers sign up for free and contact me directly at jtinc8@gmail.com to let me know they found the link on your blog I will automatically upgrade them to gold membership free. Take a look and let me know what you think if you wish. Keep in mind it is new and currently only have 40 members but it is growing steadily. Thank you again and you have a great day.”

You will have to copy and paste the above email address into your e-mail client (as I don’t want Robots to pick it up and send a lot of spam to her). So... sign up using the link in blue, above, send an e-mail to Twana, and you will be upgraded to GOLD for free. I like the site. Click on the Advertising button and .... take advantage! I sure did! Or don’t, that way I have less competition (hahahahaha!).

Actually, I have an agreement with Admin... if you sign up via my link, above, you need not send her an e-mail. You will be upgraded to GOLD automatically (if Admin is at her workstation at that moment, of course).

By the way, this site is purely for advertising your stuff. There are no ad packages and so on. So it’s totally fun and legit. Consider purchasing SPLASH pages that come up at LOGIN (I went for two, five bucks a piece). An excellent way to get in front of folks who are signing in to the site!

UPDATE: Admin has stepped out fo a while and will upgrade you to GOLD once she returns. Otherwise it’s pretty quick. Signups are pouring in fast on this one! And that’s nice to see!

Baptizing a Drunk:

A man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes upon a

preacher baptizing people in the river. He proceeds to walk into the

water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around

and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks the drunk,

'Are you ready to find Jesus?'


The drunk answers, 'Yes, I am.'


So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him up and
asks the drunk,


'Brother have you found Jesus?'


The drunk replies, 'No, I haven't found Jesus.'


The preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again for a

little longer. He again pulls him out of the water and asks again, 'Have you

found Jesus my brother?'


The drunk again answers, 'No, I haven't found Jesus.'


By this time the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk in the

water again -- - but this time holds him down or about 30 seconds and when

he begins kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up. The preacher again asks

the drunk, 'For the love of God have you found Jesus?'


The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher,

'Hey Man, Are you sure this is where he fell in?'

Critical Review of PremiumCompounder

Well, I've looked at this one before and did not join. It's only 23 days old. So am having a second look.

It uses a GoldCoders script. Compounding at various degrees is available. So you can set yours to 50% and that way withdraw money monthly to get your spend back and then you can sail away.

Am setting mine to 100% for at least a month or two to see what happens. If all goes well I should be able to add to my AlertPay account nicely. At some point I may add some e-gold.

The plans are on the front page. You don't choose them, they choose you (based on how much money you will have put in, but of course this is after the double-up 15 day plans are removed, in a couple of days from now).

They say they trade only in online real estate, meaning websites and domains and such. But they could well be a well-run ponzi. Support is apparently good and there is even a phone number to England and someone actually does answer the call (Hello? House cleaning! Just joking!).

They have this new plan that's good for who knows how much longer: Double Up or More -15 days- Deposit Returned-Limited Time Only where you can earn 200% or more ROI (not Profit!) in just 15 days. Yeah yeah yeah... I normally don't go for these... but am curious. So will risk some AP funds.

So am giving this one a go. If you wish to play, and I mean play (don't bet the farm) then go for it.

PS: One thing that is of some concern is this: premiumcompounder.com - NOT Licensed. So this GoldCoders script is not licensed. What is likely the case is that they have a modified script, hence did not bother to license it... .well, others have come up with scripts that are pretty well identical to the GoldCoders Script so am not going to pass judgement. Here is an example of a good one: HYIPManager by Dennis.

js

ADDENDUM: Well I tried to spend via AlertPay but it did not work. Just hung. Plus they took me to an unsecured alertpay site. Kind of suspicious. Sent a note to Admin to find out why.

So then spent $20 as a test via SafePay solutions. Follow the procedure carefully. Get a notepad ready. Click on Deposit, choose the right plan, choose SafePay Solutions, then copy the sales email address into a notepad. Then click on the SafePay logo, do the transaction, copy the transaction ID into the same notepad. Go back to the site. Click on Deposit, choose Safepay solutions, same amount as before... and down below enter your Safepay account username, and then the transaction ID (oh and choose the % compounding up above) then click on Save. You will likely not have to send an email to the sales address, but I did just in case, stating how much I bought, through where, and the transaction ID. Let's see what happens.

And if the Admin comes back with a good answer re the unsecure pay link for AlertPay I may then test a larger amount in the 15 day plans via AlertPay. Stay tuned! By the way, just checked my account and the Admin has added my transaction within minutes. So looks like that procedure does work and likely you won’t have to send an email to sales.

SECOND ADDENDUM: I got a response from Admin within minutes re the AlertPay issue. Seems they can’t use a secure link due to some issue with the Security Certificate, so Admin gave me an e-mail address to send my AP funds to and then notify them of how I want to spend that (plus the Trans ID of course). I will consider that.

I also urged Admin to turn off Internal Transfer, else scammers will take advantage of that. Hope he listens. HE DID! That function is now off.

Regarding PremiumCompounder:

I was sent last Friday’s update from Support/Admin and it looks pretty good! These folks have plans! So am warming up to this one quite quickly. Oh and I did go through with the AlertPay spend (and e-gold as well).

“We have Just Finished today's payouts wow there was alot, excellent to see

There Have been many Questions regarding the transaction code.

This is a secondary password users need to select. as it created confusion this requirement has been Removed for now.

The double up plan is on sale for a couple of days still at members request.

Starting later this month the primary form of withdrawal will be check and bank wire this is to accommadate members as they start getting larger amounts avoiding possible issues with processors. We will also be adding a visa debit card. These will be on offer at $79 and are anonymous also to be introduced later this month

Should you have questions please contact us.

Kind Regards
Brian”

About correcting errors in your fellow human being

T-9.III.1. The alertness of the ego to the errors of other egos is not the kind of vigilance the Holy Spirit would have you maintain. 2 Egos are critical in terms of the kind of "sense" they stand for. 3 They understand this kind of sense, because it is sensible to them. 4 To the Holy Spirit it makes no sense at all.

T-9.III.2. To the ego it is kind and right and good to point out errors and "correct" them. 2 This makes perfect sense to the ego, which is unaware of what errors are and what correction is. 3 Errors are of the ego, and correction of errors lies in the relinquishment of the ego. 4 When you correct a brother, you are telling him that he is wrong. 5 He may be making no sense at the time, and it is certain that, if he is speaking from the ego, he will not be making sense. 6 But your task is still to tell him he is right. 7 You do not tell him this verbally, if he is speaking foolishly. 8 He needs correction at another level, because his error is at another level. 9 He is still right, because he is a Son of God. 10 His ego is always wrong, no matter what it says or does. p166

T-9.III.3. If you point out the errors of your brother's ego you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy Spirit does not perceive his errors. 2 This must be true, since there is no communication between the ego and the Holy Spirit. 3 The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand anything that arises from it. 4 Since He does not understand it, He does not judge it, knowing that nothing the ego makes means anything.

T-9.III.4. When you react at all to errors, you are not listening to the Holy Spirit. 2 He has merely disregarded them, and if you attend to them you are not hearing Him. 3 If you do not hear Him, you are listening to your ego and making as little sense as the brother whose errors you perceive. 4 This cannot be correction. 5 Yet it is more than merely a lack of correction for him. 6 It is the giving up of correction in yourself.

T-9.III.5. When a brother behaves insanely, you can heal him only by perceiving the sanity in him. 2 If you perceive his errors and accept them, you are accepting yours. 3 If you want to give yours over to the Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. 4 Unless this becomes the one way in which you handle all errors, you cannot understand how all errors are undone. 5 How is this different from telling you that what you teach you learn? 6 Your brother is as right as you are, and if you think he is wrong you are condemning yourself. -- (from A Course in Miracles)

Saturday, October 11, 2008

Would you rather have peace than this (whatever conflict you appear to be in or perceive)?

“The idea that the choice of what we are going to perceive in the world is ours contains the only hope for peace. As long as we continue to perceive enemies, whether in China, central America, Iraq, or anywhere else, or perceive fear in any form, there is no hope of ending conflict among nations. Peace can come only when individual people change how they perceive this world and accept responsibility for what they perceive [js: thus healing the split mind by seeing as the Holy Spirit sees, and not how the ego, or split mind, sees].

The section [in A Course in Miracles] called “The Responsibility for Sight” (T-21.II), which comes later in the text, addresses this issue of accepting total responsibility for what we perceive. This focus is the great contribution that A Course in Miracles makes to the pursuit of world peace. The undoing of the world of fear cannot be accomplished simply through the dismantling of nuclear weapons, because all that would happen is that other weapons would rise to take their place. That could be a helpful place to begin certainly, but the real shift, once again, is not made in the world.

The only hope of undoing the fear in the wold lies in the minds of people who make up this world of fear -- this is the only place in which a meaningful shift can occur. ...... But, to say it one more time, this focus on the mind’s power to change is the significant gift that A Course in Miracles offers to the world. True peace is inevitable when peoples’ minds are healed of their investment in individuality and separation, and of their belief in the reality of guilt. [and the reality of the separation from the Divine.]” - from The Journey Home, chapter 4, The Attraction of Guilt, by Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

PROGRAMME REVIEW: sqipcom.com

This is yet another Social Networking site (and more). It looks to me like Social Networking is the wave of the future. That's how a lot of leads will be generated (for your own site, your own opp, and so on) as compared to techniques of the past (buying leads, advertising in surfs and other places). So we should all pay close attention to these.

The key difference between this one and others of its like is that you can potentially earn far more.

You can purchase shares in the Company via AlertPay (who also accept credit cards) and BankWire. You will be able to sell your shares at any time once SQIPCOM is launched (notice that the product has not yet been launched.... they are only selling shares in the Company for now).

Once they have launched your shares will earn dividends, based on the amount of shares you have, from ten cents to 50 cents per share. So this could be quite a lot in one month especially as right now the shares are ten cents EURO each and will mostly likely climb to at least one Euro Dollar within a year (and maybe even 10 Dollars Euro).

Once you sign up for free go to the start page via the link on the error page (if you get an error page) and in the address bar the URL you should see should end in your username. Sign in and you can purchase from there. Or... go to sqipcom.com and click on the link right at the top, right, then sign in with the username you created and the password that you wrote down somewhere. Heheh.

Finally, I'd like to mention, that at this time (from Oct. 6th 2008 and on) you will receive a 50% matching bonus on the purchases of shares from anyone that you have DIRECTLY introduced to this opportunity. But this won't last as it is only meant as incentive to recruit more investors and will at some point be dropped. Still.... even if you do not tell anyone about this... the shares you will have purchased will climb steadily as the Company experiences more and more success, which they should as the product they are launching is even beyond Social Networking (which is hot right now and in the foreseeable future).

Am going for it. Here is my link: http://www.sqipcom.com/?user=micronuts

The first and only JS VIDEO!

Have a look! My first and only video revealing my identity. js. Of 9planetreviews.com/blog.shtml.
