TOOL REVIEW: MyViralSurfer

Ok, am back from my trip and I need to tell you about this. As you know I was introduced to a new tool who's primary component is the ability to track your hits and clicks and impressions. It's MyViralSurfer. Well am very impressed!

In case some of you who have signed on did not get the chance to figure it out? Here's my own take on how to take advantage of it for tracking your various promotions, be it banner ads or text ads or websites/web pages that you are advertising on Surfs, Forums, via e-mail and so on.

First sign in. Then hover the mouse on the My Tools menu bar, then over My Link Tracking Statistics, then click on Add New Campaign. Here you will have several boxes to fill out.

In the first box simply enter the name of your campaign. For example, let's say am advertising Private Millionaire. So the name of the campaign will be PrivateMillion. Why? Because by trial and error you will find out that it needs to be relatively short and should not contain any spaces, else you will have problems.

In the second box enter a very brief description (that will show up in the text stats when you hover the mouse over the Campaign Name). In my case I entered: PM Everywhere.

In the next box enter, in this case, either the link of the invitation page or the gateway page. In my case I entered the link of a splash page I created: http://micronuts.com/html/private_millionaire.html

The next box you should leave alone. That will place a short banner-like advert at the bottom of the page you are advertising urging the reader to follow the ad there... that's how this package/tool captures their information and builds your list (just one of the methods of course).

Now click on the Create Campaign button. You will be taken to a page that shows a number of links you can now use. Nine of them in fact. These are the links you can now advertise everywhere and anywhere you wish. But hold on there. There is more. Let's just take the first one:

http://my-big-secret.com/micronuts/PrivateMillion

Notice my username is in there (micronuts), so mine will be different from yours, if you are advertising Private Millionaire as well. Ok now get this: you can add keywords at the end of that link, separated by a dash (-). The keywords you choose should indicate to you where you are advertising that particular link. So for example, am advertising that link in three (auto)surfs. So my links look like this:

http://my-big-secret.com/micronuts/PrivateMillion-TSplashBanner
http://my-big-secret.com/micronuts/PrivateMillion-HitHoundsBanner
http://my-big-secret.com/micronuts/PrivateMillion-HitHoundsSite
http://my-big-secret.com/micronuts/PrivateMillion-12DailyBanner
http://my-big-secret.com/micronuts/PrivateMillion-FastProfitBanner

That's pretty self-explanatory, right? What this accomplishes is that am now able to see where my clicks are coming from by signing in to MyViralSurfer, going to the text Statistics page and I will see an entry for PrivateMillion there. Clicking on PrivateMillion will take me to another page where I will see all of the above listed, including the hits I have received. You can even drill down further to see the IP addresses of the folks that clicked on your links or banners and even the type of browser that they used! Simply wonderful! And all that is free!

Am petitioning the owner of the Tool to let me upgrade to Pro (just did!) as am sure I will find even more useful features in the Pro Version. As for those of you who are new and have not signed up yet? When you do sign up for free, before exiting you will get a One Time Offer, which I skipped, silly me.... That one time offer will let you go Pro! So if I have convinced you somewhat? Then go Pro.

PS: Pro Membership is offered, for now, via the One Time Offer that you will see come up once you sign up for free. You need not go Pro. You will still get a lot of benefits as a free member, so don't feel like you have to. I recommend Pro only to those amongst you who are VERY serious about promoting your various opportunties and being able to seriously track where your clicks are coming from, plus the plethora of benefits you will see on the One Time Offer page. So consider carefully. Again, it's quite alright to be a free member.

Some MyViralSurfer features as stolen from my sponsor:

* MyViralSurfer is an ad tracking service, link cloaker, list builder, traffic generator, advertising service and a downline builder for whatever you choose.
* Here is one of the great features... I cannot find any restrictions for free users apart from the viral bar which cannot be turned off unless you upgrade. In truth you actually do not want to turn it off because having it on benefits you.
* Free members can also create unlimited tracking campaigns and your visitors are yours and do not go through a gateway and get passed up to an upgraded member, this is where TrackThatAd failed. For those who are on a tight or non budget, this is the best tracking service with the most features you will find.
* Now for those who are savvy, upgrading is the way to go! As a pro member you get a tracking service better than anything else I have seen. To get technical, you get access to the textual data (free users get this too), you also get a full graphical analysis on all of your campaigns. This makes it very easy to spot trends at a simple glance where you might otherwise have missed it by just looking at the textual data.
* Pro members also are able to incorporate a domain name into the tracking link, turn the viral bar on or off and track sales. Even know exactly which advertising resource resulted in the sale. All in one campaign!
* I am blown away by the sales tracking too! You can use it on almost anything where you want to test conversion. For instance, you can see how many opt-ins you got to your list by advertising with company abc in comparison to advertising with company xyz

It's in the list! Yep, it's true.

* (from my Sponsor) If you have a list you can rebuild your business much faster then without. To be honest with you I was shocked when I logged into my back office in MVS.
* (from my Sponsor) In my first mailing to my small list of 1400 plus more than 150 plus people have signed up and 55 have upgraded to pro. For those of you who joined, USE THIS PROGRAM IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE YOUR BUSINESS!
* Back to Personal list builder, a free member of MyViralSurfer can build a list 3-levels deep, which is pretty impressive. A free member will collect the name, surname, email address, signup ip address and date of signup from all members who signup. Then the same happens for members they refer and their referrals. Other programs do not do this and usually just allow access to first level signups.
* As a free member My Viral Surfer sends the leads to the email address used by the free member when they joined. This will require them to upload these leads to an autoresponder. But they will have to manipulate the data in order to do it. A real pain, but if you have the time and patience go ahead, it's hard(Believe me, I tried).
* Now as a pro member you can specify an auto responder email address using either getresponse or aweber and My Viral Surfer will deposit your leads for you, 20 levels deep. This is a very important feature and will become glaringly apparent when we get to the Viral side of this powerful program.

Member Advertising Service

* The member Advertising service comes in the shape of a shared mailer where members can send their offers to other members of MyViralSurfer. What is really nice about MVS is that even free members can mail to at least 1500 random prospects every week by simply getting mailing credits from their MVS homepage (more on this later)
* Pro members on the other hand can mail to 2500 members in addition to the mailing credits they have built up since their last mailing 3 times a week. That effectively gives pro members the ability of reaching 30,000 random prospects a month without even building up mailing credits. Furthermore, pro members' ads do not contain any top sponsor ads.
* Pro members will also not receive mail sent by free members. This is something I really like because we all know paid members are more like to buy a product as they have already proven themselves as buyers as opposed to free members.

js: Well there you have it! At least go and get a free account and start using it. You can go Pro later, but it will cost you more... So if you like what you read here? Go Pro.

Global Warming, increasing volcanic activity... Solar System moves into energized cloud

Imagine a small motor boat slashing through the water. In front of the boat and around the front on both sides a wake is being created.... a v-shaped slough of resistance..... perhaps one can see a few v-shaped troughs or wakes....
Well, imagine that the Solar System is moving... which it is, through space.... in it's own lake... and that lake is inside one of the spiraling arms of the Milky Way Galaxy.

You see, outer space is not empty. Not a vacuum. And in fact, it has been detected by Russian Austronomers and other scientists that have analyzed the data from the two probes the USA had launched a while back that have been gathering data for a few decades now, data about the Milky Way... and it has been ascertained that the solar system is moving into a cloud, an energized cloud... and the extra energy in the form of various particles (protons and so on) is entering the solar system and is affecting both the planets and the Sun.

How? Well, all planets have experienced a rise in temperature, including the Earth (in the form of Global Warming). In fact, in the case of the Earth Global Warming is more due to this phenomena than any man-made cause.

The other effects are: more volcanic activity (the greatest danger to the planet right now, especially if Yellowstone blows and can at any moment), rips in the magnetic (protective) field around the Earth the size of California, earth quakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, crop failures and so on. Perhaps you have noticed this? No? Then wake the heck up and look around you. Read some books, like Apocalypse 2012 by Lawrence E. Joseph (and this guy is not a New Ager, nor some religious nut, just a reporter that happened to, through various circumstances and events, stumble upon what you are not being told about in the popular media..... one would not want you to panic, now would one?). So there you have it. I'll say more about this as I go along.

So there are more important things to consider than the success of the next autosurf or HYIP, forced matrix programme, or scuttlebutt that is going on. Widen your area of interest, as the next four years will be VERY rough indeed! And the whole thing will culminate in late 2012. Who will emerge? And where? And when.

Favorites: Ok, I want to hear/read your favorites, ok?

Favorites: Ok, I want to hear/read your favorites, ok? So send them to me and I will post them with your full name, address, and phone number. I’ll even tell folks where your sister lives.

My favorite forum: CollectiveInvestmentsForum or CIF for short. I love the folks there. Honesty, integrity, no cheerleaders that I have come across.... one of the best forums you could visit. On the other side of the scale TalkGold would be my worst. In fact, I rarely go there. I would have to be dragged there!

My favorite food: guacamole, anything with it, including dead chickens.

My favorite drink: vokdka, but that's killing me softly.

My favorite movie: Terminator or maybe the Prince's Bride.

My favorite car that I ever owned: Lexus SC400, hands down!

My favorite cat: Taipan, a Siamese. Very smart, very demanding of affection. And a traitor when he abandoned me for another guy when I was living in an Ashram in Quebec. Then he jumped out of his body, spent 20 minutes crawling all over his new buddy in the meditation room, and then left without a goodbye! But I still love him.

My favorite person: that would have to be my daughter, Kyra. I just love her unconditionally.

My favorite scam programme: That would have to be Premium Compounder! Am $100 in profit! Or thereabouts.

My favorite song: Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

My favorite Spiritual Practice: ACIM or A Course in Miracles. Why? Mainly because dead Gurus can't kick my ass!

My favorite TV series: LOST, without a doubt! Fascinating! You can see all four seasons for free here: http://www.watchtvsitcoms.com/lost.php

My favorite saying: The world is dog shit.

My favorite way to make money: well, it's not sex, if that's what you're thinking, as you have a dirty, dirty, grimy mind. What's the question again?

My favorite vitamin supplement or anti-oxidant: MicroHydrin. Hands down! And I would add MSM to that. Oh and a B12/B-Complex Liquid extract! Keep them nerves in shape from the .. um... my favorite drink damage!

Ok, you get the idea. Now get back to me with your favorites!

Some jokes on a dreary and rainy Friday

# Ok, since you are somewhat depressed on this dreary Friday, below are some jokes. The first one is worth listening to. I’ve heard it about a year ago and it is worth hearing again. Thanks to Blake for sending that one on to me:

CAR ACCIDENT IN TEXAS... PRICELESS !!
If you don't listen to anything else today, listen to this one. This will definitely make you laugh!Turn up your sound and click on the website below. The accident occurred in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. This is a phone call from a man who witnesses the accident involving four elderly women. It was so popular when they played it on CHUM- FM, and they put it on their website. The guy's laugh is contagious. Just close your eyes and picture what he sees.

And here is one that I got from an old friend, Mark:

All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough time to consider how their online name might appear! These are not made up. Check them out yourself!

1. 'Who Represents' is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is: www.whorepresents.com

2. 'Experts Exchange' is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at:

ListJumper - Very interesting concept, no list needed

Here is an ALERT (243) that I just sent out (my Alert Service is free):

Here is something quite interesting.

Am going to send you a canned e-mail (right below), just to show you that you can do it too and you don't have to come up with something of your own. So am not going to edit it and inject any of my whacky humor into it.

All am going to say is that I like the concept. It's worth trying out because it gives you the chance to "jump" ahead of others who have been into these kinds of things a long time and who have large lists. Well, you don't have to have one! So read the below canned e-mail, then go and play with it for f r e e. I myself upgraded to Silver right away (via AlertPay... and I can cancel any time I like).

Here goes: =====begin canned e-mail=====

How would you like to join a f r e e list site that grows your list on its own, whether you refer others or not?

List Jumper is the newest concept in list building. Even if you refer absolutely nobody you can still mail to fresh responsive members on a regular basis.

What's the catch? We'll get you jumping! That's why I said I'm jumping and I won't stop... because the more I jump the more people I can reach through my mailings because my mail is sent to people below me in the growing straight line.

That's the incredibly unique idea behind List Jumper, you can improve your ranking in the list by reading mail and jumping each day. My goal is to jump to the very top of the list and have everyone in the whole site below me! You could too...

Now, before you join? First go into Preferences (or Options) in your browser and under Security, Show Cookies, locate listjumper or www.listjumper, highlight it and REMOVE the cookie. Then click on the below link, scroll down, and if you don't see Sponsor: John Stankiewicz then REFRESH your browser (F5 or Ctrl-R) and you should see my name show up. When you send your own link out send these same instructions. There seems to be a bit of a glitch, that's why am having you do this.

John Stankiewicz

P.S. - Try it out for f r e e, its fun and effective advertising!

====end of canned e-mail======

Neat eh? Now go and try it. And why not post this one (and there is one more in the members area) for f r e e at my new Ad Exchange? If you have not joined yet go here: www.9planetadvertising.com

PS: The way you earn credits, besides buying them, in order to jump over others above you, is to click on links in the e-mails that you will receive. And that means... you could be getting a lot of e-mails... so... either:

1. Create a New Folder in your e-mail client (gmail, Outlook, etc.) say called ListJumper, then create a filter or mail rule that will look at the From (sender) or Subject line for something that identifies these e-mails and the action to take is to move those e-mails to that folder. That way they don't clutter up your Inbox.

OR

2. Create a new e-mail account, say at gmail, called listjumper (@gmail.com and so on). Then sign in at ListJumper.com and Edit your Profile, change to that email address and you will be sent a verification e-mail to that address. Click on the enclosed verification link and you're all set to get a lot of e-mails to earn your credits.
