Hi Tommie, Exactly what do the mean by " Our tv screens? Thanks

Well said,Clare

Hi Mike, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Glad to see ORU is working out for you. I currently own 2 websites that I opened to provide marketers with much needed services at the lowest prices possible. It would defeat that goal if I required my members to pay more for the pay processor account than they do for my service. Not only that but over the years I have seen a few programs like ORU come and go and I need something more reliable over the long term. Oru is basically an MLM program with a funds exchange service as it's "product". Some people are making money promoting it and that's fine but it isn't cost effective as a pay processor,at least not in my situation. I decided to use Stripe to accept subscription payments and Uphold to pay out commissions and they are both working out well for me. Thanks again for posting. All the best,

Hi All, As the Owner/Admin, I would like to let everyone know that Direct Trak Pro is celebrating our 10th anniversary with a new website, new features, and for a limited time, All upgraded members also get membership in my full featured auto-responder service. Where else can you get professional "Ad-free" link tracking as well as a free email auto-responder account for less than $4 bucks a month? Why not sign up today and see why so many people are using DirectTrak Pro. All the best,

This is a link to an article on the subject that explains it clearly. https://www.howtogeek.com/181767/htg-explains-what-is-https-and-why-should-i-care/ Also, if anyone is putting off upgrading to https due to cost, I used this service for my sites and it is completely free and simple to do yourself. https://www.sslforfree.com/ Hope that helps,

Try clearing your browser cache, or type in the link directly. Location shouldn't make a difference. I have already sent a solo and a credit mailing and am getting clicks from both according to my tracking.

In case anyone is interested, Ad Troopers seems to be open again. I logged in and my advertising was all still in my account as well as my upgrade. Don't know for how long but it's back.

Hi Folks, I am looking for a new payment processor that allows me to pay out affiliate commissions. I know there are a lot of site owners here and would like to know who you use and how it is working out for you. Thanks,

Hi, Most auto-responder services do not allow the importing of existing lists and the ones that do will set them as pending subscribers until they agree to receive messages from your service. This is just common sense protection against anti-spam violations. This might be a quicker solution. You can create a new folder in your contacts in gmail, add your member list, and use that to let them know what is going on. Just do not send to more than 500 contacts per hour. Hope that helps,

At least Stripe is polite about the whole thing. Paypal just comes in like a swat team and takes everything and locks it down. Also Stripe is very clear about what can and can't be sold using their services. Paypal changes the acceptable use policy often and neglects to inform anyone about it.

Hi Steve, This might work for you if the link doesn't get stripped out of the post http://freerotator.com/ If it does, try searching for freerotator.com All the best,

True enough. I should have said that Payza won't be back anytime soon in the U.S.A. This is the same thing that happened to them when they were Alertpay back in 2010 or so. When they came back as Payza all the money was gone from member accounts. I'm sure a lot of people lost a lot of money this time too. As Glen said above, crypto is useless as a payment method due to it's wildly fluctuating value so I don't know how US site owners are going to deal with this. Sad to say but I think a lot of sites will be closing because of this.

The latest on this from the Homeland security website; https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/payza-and-2-canadian-brothers-accused-operating-unlicensed-money-service-business-and Payza won't be back anytime soon....

What browser are You using? This sounds like something with your security settings. My sites use many java scripts for loading images, etc. and display just fine.

This may be what you are looking for. http://dtkpro.com/x17 All the best, Ed

I have to agree. Beware of this one for sure. This site advertises it's biz address as Cryptocurency Bank MLM (CCBM) International Commerce Centre 1 Austin Road West Kowloon, Hong Kong. After doing a bit of online digging I find that there is no record of any registered business with that name at that address or anywhere else. There is a financial center at that address with companies like Morgan-Stanley having offices there which is probably why the owners of this fictitious company uses it on it's website. Nobody is ever going to just give away $50 worth of anything valuable just for becoming a free member. This is a scam for sure.

The only way to accurately rate any traffic source is to track your advertising and see exactly which sites provide actual readers to your mailings. Just because a site advertises sending to a gazillion members doesn't mean that any of those members read their emails. I found Hurculist to be less than productive myself when I was a member for just that reason. Not to "blow my own horn" but I own a website "dtkpro.com" that I use to track all my advertising and it has saved me thousands in ad costs over the years. For example, If you send a mailing at blabla mailer that goes out to 5000 members and when you check your stats and see that only 27 people actually opened your email, it's time to advertise elsewhere. Advertising isn't cheap, you really have to spend wisely. Hope that helps.

This sounds just like a bitcoin version of the Nigerian email scam where they tell you you can get a million bucks if you just pay the 5 thousand dollars in " Fees and taxes". Any time any site tells you that you have to pay them before they will pay you it is surely a scam. Beware of anything to do with bitcoin online as 99% of the programs promising that you will earn huge amounts of it are bullshit. Man I really hate scams..... PS> The bitcoin system is by nature un-hackable so anyone saying they have a "hack" is full of it.

Quick update. There are still about 100 upgrades left so if you are interested in free unlimited solo ads for life, Grab this free deal now. New promo code is " Next 100 " I already got 1 referral from my first mailing there so it's surprisingly active already. All the best,

Hi All, Just found an interesting new site that offers solo ad mailings only. Right now you can get a lifetime upgrade for free at Redwood Solos that gives you access to UNLIMITED solo mailings. Mail as much as you want whenever you want. This could prove to be valuable should this site grow. Besides,you can't beat the price!! Just go to http://dtkpro.com/ay46 and use the promo code "First200" after you sign up and that's it! You can start mailing right away. Cash referral contest too! Don't wait too long, there aren't many of these free upgrades left. Enjoy,

Paypal management has never liked Payza and i am sure that at some point they will prohibit this but for now it is the only way to transfer funds so enjoy it while ya can!

Paypal doesn't charge any fees for their debit card.

Hi Marsha, The List Ads are featured on the top bar while people are surfing. When a surfer clicks on your header or description a popup appears with the surfer's name and email address already in the form and all they have to do is click your submit button. The call to action is taken from your autoresponder html code you enter for your List Ad. You need the form code from your autoresponder to make use of these ads. Hope that helps clear it up.

I have blogs on both blogspot and wordpress. Wordpress is a security nightmare as well as being a pain to navigate. I get over 1000 attempts a month from hackers trying to access my wordpress admin files so I don't even use it anymore. Blogspot is easy to use and a lot less susceptible to hackers. At least in my experience.
