I haven't given Blogger a chance, but I'm more than happy with Wordpress, there's a lot that can be done with it.

Give it a chance, I assume it will be back online soon. If your upgrade is monthly, then you can send a support ticket and request some sort of compensation for the lost day or two.

Its going to take a lot of effort, even for those who appreciate some of the items on the market place, to get enough zubees to trade for them. So, at the rate its going, the incentive to go out of one's path to collect coins is not good. I'm waiting to see what John will come up with though, and to see how things evolve in ZZ. Either way, I'm there for my team.

And so every day this Louise Venison is pushing pushing pushing the lifetime upgrade, until 2 days ago........... Today, she says High Hits is for sale

Dewayne owns quite a lot of TEs, some of which he's rescued, so I'd say he's the best man for the job These are his other sites (there could be more): A Team Traffic, Carrier Hits, Dolphin Clicks, Egyptian Hits, Pro Manual Surfer, Safe Search Traffic, Stealth Hits, Traffic Jenie, Traffic Flying, Zubee Downlines

I've heard that payouts have resumed at least at Admaster Plus, his other TE. Regarding the market place, I'm half way through a 7 day platinum upgrade at TSwirl, and have recently purchased 1000 credits from a TE called Mousumi Traffic, which the owner, Bidyut has kindly converted to co-op credits for me.

Hi Andrew, I don't want to answer in place of the original poster, but the only traffic exchange that I know of with a pirate theme is called Traffic Pirate Hits which is owned by Greg Parkin and not related as far as I know.

Oh, I see, and while reading emails, I find the E Sorry to quote myself lol, but I see while reading emails, the English one on a .com domain. Thormailz.com. The german version has more members than the english one

just to add here, a mailer now being rotated in TEs (new), owned by Manfred Celik - Thormailz.de - a german language site.

Hi Greg, Traffic Profit Pro will close

Copy/paste from John in Zubee talk: "I've also created a new version of the zpn for LFM site owners which offers increased security and allows them to sell any product package offered on their website so now we can finally get some upgrades and other goodies available".

I love marketing online. The opportunities to learn and to grow seem endless. For me its really a lot of fun and I can't wait to get started every day

Yes, it maybe shouldn't be compulsory, but rather recommended with a short but clear explanation of why. I liked very much this word, draconian

I started using gmail from very early on in my marketing. The first "mailing sites" that I used where Text Ad Exchanges, quite some years ago, and I think they were already stipulating gmail then. So I signed up for all TEs as well with gmail. I guess its a bit like some sites recommend that you don't put links in your email ads, or even dollar signs, while other sites outright ban the same.

Thank you for this info Tommie

I have upgrades in most of the mailiing sites owned by Marty Petrizza, with more of hers on my "wish list" for this year. I've had good residual income from all of them, and you even pick up a bit of cash if you're regularly clicking emails. I still have spending referrals in Email Hog, years after recruiting them, so that's my favourite - people spend money where they're getting value

A diamond coin and draw ticket for posting here, thank you MC Forum We don't know what other contests are in store for us, yet, or whether purchasing bonus multipliers (potions, flags for example) with zubees will help in these. John said a new contest will be announced each Friday this month, so I guess, we wait and see. Otherwise, I hope that it doesn't take too long to add some more variety to the market place. I totally agree, his apathy over the last 3 months has caused a lot of damage.

That's a good point, and now I'm also curious. A forgotten email address that is subscribed to a lot of mailers is likely to get full eventually anyway and bounce incoming mails. I know that in the past, other non LFMVM mailers have bribed members with extra credits to change their email to gmail though. There is one TE that I belong to that sends me a bounce test email every 3 days or so. I know they want me to white list them, and I guess I should do that, but its annoying nonetheless

I was always under the impression that mailers insist on gmail because its the most reliable free email account for delivery. That if all members are using it to receive emails, it will reduce the bounce rate. Not sure why TEs would insist on it though

Thanks for the tips Kurt. Its really nice to see you here in the MC forum I got the same email. It took me a few days to get around to it, but I logged in and found everything as it was before the first database "wipe out". Upgrade, referrals and credits, all there. I don't think I had any commissions ever. All I did was convert all the credits in my account to banner imps and assign them and then log out. It seems that James is getting the backing and support of some of the members of the CTP team he's with.

They have this text up, but not sure how long this has been going on: Please Excuse Our Dust We Are Working to Improve Your Experience Here at the Cooperative Marketing Group!

According to a friend of mine, he's managed to redeem himself in her eyes and in the eyes of some others, in spite of all the warnings. He's a smooth one when he wants to be

I've heard him say more than once, something along the lines of "people will always come and go". And this, at the times of changes when people have complained. But after this 3 months of keeping both partners and members in the dark (intentionally or not?), may have pushed this philosophy of his too far. This will not easily be forgotten. The big question in my mind, is, Was he really ill as Neil suggested in Zubee Talk? or was he intentionally bringing ZZ to its knees, for him to rebuild. I don't buy that he assumed that people were still collecting for the contests and pleasure of picking up coins.

I don't know how many Andrew. I myself was cashing them in pretty regularly. But I can think of a few people who had some million zubees when the market closed for cash redemption.

Terrible situation. He handled that so badly. The question is why. If he really wanted to scare away people who were only in it for cash, then surely allowing members to cash zubees for the last time would be a fair way to do it. But, as mentioned elsewhere. I know that he'll make the new system work regardless, even if on a smaller scale to start. And now already, the hint of being able to trade zubees for upgrades and other things on partner sites is appealing to some.
