Bux.to Breaks The $999.99 Ceiling

While viewing the ads today on Bux.to (I had 41 of them): one of the pages was to their forum in the form of an announcement from the Admins. In a nutshell, the subject was about how Bux.to has now been able to pay their first member a staggering $1,500.00. Up until this point, the payments were restricted to $999.99: apparently due to a programming glitch or something to that effect.

Although the limitation of 1 payment request at a time (until you actually get paid) is still in effect...now you can request even larger sums of money. And though you have to wait 30 business days (about 45 or so calendar days)...now you can earn as much as you want (I hope), and get a larger "paycheck" when your request gets paid.

Awesome job, Bux.to!!

Update: ClickzVault.com NOT A SCAM

HI Friends:

Back in the beginning of November (11/2/07), I made a post regarding the fact that I believed ClickzVault.com was a scam (see complete story and all comments at: It was bound to happen...ClickzVault A Scam). Well...I WAS WRONG!! I was having problems with the site, and logging in, and my instincts lead me to believe that what I was dealing with, was a scam. So perhaps I jumped the gun a little...but I was only expressing my thoughts and feelings at the time.

Since then, I have been able to work things out with the site owner, and I am once again a member of ClickzVault. I attribute the positive results of this being the constant communication with the site owner; and trying to keep a cool head about things. In my last comment on the aforementioned entry, I apologized to the site owner (AKA: Twisted) for my mistake. I would like to further apologize again in this blog entry. Though I admit I was wrong, I hope that he will accept my sincere apologies for any harm my actions may have caused. Though I still feel that I was justified at the time...if I would have waited a while longer...perhaps things would have worked out.

Patients and perseverance will more likely work to our benefit: a life lesson that have once again refreshed my brain, as a part of my educational experience. I will continue to express my thoughts & opinions here in this forum. However, because they are (usually) just my thoughts and opinions, you still hold the responsibility for making up your own mind. Although I believe that I try to give truthful and accurate information, there may be times (however rare...lol) that I might be wrong...or not have the complete story. If you find information that I post to be inaccurate or incomplete, I hope that you will make a comment to such, that we can update the information. Of course, we welcome all comments...good or bad...for this is how we learn.

We've Achieved The Break Even Point On Bux.to

Late last night (12/27), after reading some ads on Bux.to: I entered my stats into the Open Office Spreadsheet that I created to monitor how I am doing (financially). One of the things I monitor, is how much I have spent (invested), as well as how much I have earned. I created a simple calculation to measure my Return On Investment (R.O.I.) both in dollars (net profit), and percentage.

So, as of last night: my stats showed me at -$0.03 net profit (appoximately -o.o1% ROI). But today, after clicking on a few more ads, I have generated a net income (profit) of $0.305 (from the gross income of $280.255); and the ROI of +0.11%.

So for now, I will continue earning my money as I have been; and I will be investing in more referrals: probably some time next month. I hope to be able to get another 100 referrals; so my referral base will go from 235 to 335. As a premium member, I get .0125/ad read by myself and my referrals...so I shoulid be able to make back my newest investment in short order.

Thank You Bux.to!!

New Blog Added: Make More Money Now

Hi Friends:

The other day, as I was going to do some work on one of my sites: when I discovered that I still had a registered domain name that was sitting without a web site on it. I had been previously used for another purpose (business); but now it was sitting dormant. So I had to think what I was going to do with this site.

After some careful consideration, I decided to make it into another blog site. The reason for this was simple...I could not think of a good site to create (at that time) that would match the unique name of the site: www.Make-More-Money-Now.biz. So after about an hour or so looking for "just the right" template; I found it, and started to post it on the web. But it took about a day and a half for things to get on the web: because I had to change where the site was hosted (changing my DNS settings).

But now it is here, and published. This blog will deal with all aspects of Making Money...giving my unique ideas and perspectives...as well as those of others. Additionally, I iwll include the thoughts and ideas of others and or links to other sites that I think are appropriate for the message that I am trying to get across.

So, I hope that you, my friends, will go and visit my new site, and let me know what you think. I also hope that you like it enough to become an active participant by replying to my entries, to let me know what you think...as well as bookmarking the site for future reference.

Thank you for your consideration

Coming Soon To BCE

Last night, I logged into my account to manage one of my sites. I happened to notice another one of the sites I had set up a long time ago just sitting there. It had been used for another business activity that I am no longer affiliated with. But because it was paid for, I felt that I should do something with it. But herein lied the problem: what should I do with the site. The site name is www.make-more-money-now.biz, so I used the name to try to figure out how to best use it.

So as I was scanning some of the templates for the sites to try to come up with ideas, I noticed that I could now create a blog on my site: and that is what I decided to do. So after trying to find the "right" look for the site: I published the site to the web...or so I thought. Well, because I had changed the regristration from the old host back to the original one...I have to wait for things to get changed over...aproximately 24-48 hours.

I just checked the site this morning, and there is a default screen that shows (in the title bar) that my site is "Coming Soon". I did also make my first posting last night, but it won't dislay until the site become active...by tomorrow night. Once we go live, I will use this site to express my thoughts & opinions about all subjects concerning making more money in your life. I will also include narritives by other authors as well as links to other sites that I feel are relevant to the subject.

So I hope that you will check out this site, and even become a contriubutor to it. I have not quite figured out yet how to add contributors, but if you contact me, I will be sure to add your information.

Got Paid By Bux.to

After nearly 2 calendar months (57 days), I have finally received my payment from Bux.to...Whoo Hooo!! Although I still think that it has taken entirely too long...at least I did get paid...and this is a good thing. So I will be resuming my purchases of referrals as soon as I am (financially) able to do so. In the mean time, I will continue with my normal activities (viewing sites); and I will request another another payout within the next week (trying to get more money in my account before I do).

A Bit Of Puzzle Fun

I found this site quite by accident...but I am glad I did. The folks at JigZone.com (http://www.jigzone.com) have created a fun and interesting way to play with pictures. You can choose from a variety of puzzle images, as well number and shape of the puzzle pieces. One of the most unique pieces that I found, was using the shapes of the US states. It is quite challenging, but it was fun. And the puzzles can be as simple as six pieces (my granddaughter loved this one) up to 247 pieces.

What's more...there is a timer so that you can see how well (and fast) you do, and you can share your results with your friends. JigZone.com comes complete with many, many different images to keep your attention...but should you wish, you can also use your own pictures. All you need to do, is to sign up for your free membership (takes only about 30 seconds)...and you will be on your way to creating your own puzzles. And any of these puzzles can be posted in several different ways on your website or blog.

I have even added a puzzle on this blog, as well as on our Lets Get Some Traffic blog. So check our puzzles out...and if you like them...get your own account as well. I hope to be able to change out our puzzles from time to time...but let me know what you think. And if you have a picture that you would like displayed in our puzzle, then contact us, and we will give you the information that we need.

Current Bux.to Stats

My current Bux.to stats are as follows (as of this writing):
If you subtract $51.76 (previously requested on 10/22/07) from the $211.4925 current account balance: I have earned $159.7325 from 10/22 until now. This is an average of about $3.55 per day...or about $106/month (30 day); or about $1295/year. Not much...but every little bit helps. If things go well...I hope to be able to get another 2,000 referrals (an investment of another $1800 or so...assuming they are available)....which will allow me to earn somewhere around $3,700-4,000/month (gross). So this is going to be my target...assuming I get my first payment request soon.

Bux.To Update...Still Waiting

Back on October 31, I wrote about my dismay of the delay in getting paid for my work (see A Long Wait Time For Payment From Bux.to). In that post, I had calculated my expected payment date as being December 3, 2007. Even if you added two more business days for Holloween & Thanksgiving...that would still bring the payment day to 12/5/07. Well...it is now 12/6...and as of yet...still no payment.


I was going through the forums for Bux.to: and I happened upon a post that peaked my interest. In it, a user had written that they had requested a payment on 10/10, but as of 12/3...they had yet to receive the payment. Another user (MOD?) had stated "People requested from 9th October are getting payed at this moment so i don't think you ll wait a lot more...". Then on today, the user reported that they had received their payment.



So for my calculation, it appears that Bux.to is running about 2 weeks behind of schedule with getting the payments out. So now I am hoping to get paid some where between 12/17-20/o7. Now besides all of this, I have come up with some other concerns. I created the image below from a screen shot today. As you can see, I requested my payment on 10/22 for the amount of $51.76 to be paid to me via PayPal. You can also see that the status of the payment remains Pending Audit.

So, it is not just the status...but what I found when I went to view my referrals. What I found is diplayed in the following picture (click on the image to see the whole picture).

It is very unlikely that this person would have 3665 sites that they viewed, in only about 60 days 10/5-12/5). That is an average of over 60 sites a day. Even as a Premium member, you would only get between 30-40 sites to view. But here, the member is getting about 61 sites/day...a very unlikely occurance. So I guess my concern here, is that my account will be flagged for this...even though I have no control over the actions of my referrals (purchased or not).

Well I guess that I will just have to wait and see. I am hoping beyond hope that this works out. If it does, I can see eventually purchasing another 2k referrals...with which I feel I can resonably expect to earn about $4,000. So here's to hoping!!

Upgrades on Bux.To

The Upgrades I am referring to (in the title), are not exactly upgrades to Bux.to: but rather upgrades to MY account on Bux.to. With yesterday being the first of the month, I receive my military disability pay (not much...that is why I still have to work). So I completed my desire to upgrade my account to a premium member status. The cost of this is $59 for one year. The two main benefits of this program; and the reason I decided to go with it: is because you get more ads to read; and you get paid more per ad. As a basic member, I was getting only about 3-10 ads per day (closer to 3 ads the past week or so). But now you are guaranteed at least 20 ads.

The other benefit is that you get paid more. Basic members get paid 1 cent per ad; where as premium members get paid 1 1/4 cents per ad. Now that might not sound like a big difference...but I don't really make my money from the ads that I read. I make the money from the ads that my referrals read. And that leads to the other upgrade that I purchased. I bought an additional 100 referrals: with my total now being 235 referrals. So I get 1 1/4 cents for each ad that I read, as well as for each that my referrals read. If the referrals read an average of 5 ads a day; 7 days a week: then I could earn around $440 extra per month - and that doesn't include what I am reading.

Of course these numbers assume that everyone would be reading the ads. In real life, that is not true. But still, it can be pretty good anyways. And this is not going to be a full time income...but it can be enough to go out to the movies more, or out to eat...or even both, a little more than I do already. So I guess the whole point is that I am happy that the folks at Bux.to were so speedy in getting my upgrades processed (within one business day).

Oh, and the ads that I got today: I had about 30 ads to read. The only problem, is that a few of the ads, for some reason, just didn't work. Either they were expired ads; or the ads link was bad. But still, only about 4 of the ads fell into these categories; which means that I was paid for 26 ads: above the promised 20 ad guarantee. I will monitor this, and see if I will still get this high level of ads.

And I will also be requesting another payout. My last payout on 10/22/07 was for 51.76; and I can request another payout in the amount of $22.22. Actually, Bux.to allows you to request a payout anytime your account reaches $10. And with my two purchases of 100 referrals each: I received a cash back incentive of $5.00 each time - for a total of $10.00 My total earned (including all incentives) has been $73.98; and the total that I have spent has been $289.95. I expect to recoup my current expenses by the end of this year...if all goes well. And I also plan on making additional purchases for referrals. I have seen (through the bux.to forum) some people saying that they had thousands of referrals. Perhaps I will get to that point to...but I will start out slowly for right now, and we will see where this goes.

It was bound to happen...ClickzVault.com A Scam

Well, I knew that it happens, and I figured that it would happen to me: and so it has. I feel that I have been scammed...or at very best: lied to. As I have mentioned in the past, I have been looking at these Paid To Click (PPC); Paid To View (PPV) and Paid To Read Sites (PPR) for the last couple of months now. And I have always been wary about companies that might promised the world; and yet give you nothing in return.

Well, I am not sure that this is "exactly" what has happened: but I still feel somewhat jaded about my experience with a particular site. That site: ClikzVault.com. But before I bash the site, and the "company" behind it: let me give you a little of my history with them first. Well, I had signed up with the site sometime last month (October). I am not sure exactly when I signed up; because I was not keeping those records at that time (I am now, though). Everything seemed to be going okay. I would try to get on the site when I could, but usually several times a week.

I hadn't been on the site for very long, and I had earned a whopping $0.43 for 43 "clicks". That is not bad: as it is one cent per click; and there are sites that pay way less than that (but I digress). So according to my records, the last time that I had updated my records (the last time I had clicked on any of their links) was October 17, 2007 (my Bro's B-Day). When I had come back to use their system four days later on the 21st, I could not gain access to the site. Every time I tried to log in, the system just brough me back to the same log in screen.

Thankfully, I was able to navigate to the main page, where I found a link to their forums. So I started a thread under their complaint section, and this is how it went:

I have tried several times (about 5) to log into my ClickzVault account using my correct UID & Password; but each attempt leads me back to the log in screen. I did not receive any message saying that I was locked out of the account either.

Can you please let me know why it is doing this? I have not had problems with this before.

Thanks,

John

YOU ARE WRONG!! I never cheat...and I don't need to. There are plenty of sites to keep me busy in the 24 hours a day that I have been given. You had better check your facts before accusing someone of cheating. I have never signed up for more than one account with this site. And as soon as I had a problem with this site, I notified you folks. Your system probably had a hick-up or something.

I ask that you reinstate me because I did nothing wrong. If not, I will just tell the world. I can surely understand the postion on cheating...as I have my own site that I have to contend with. But you have to understand that sometimes things are not as they seem...and sometimes even the best systems mess up.

Please look into this further, and let me know via e-mail of your findings.

That was the last communiction between the Admin of the site and myself. I checked back yesterday (11/1), but there had not been any reply. And as of this morning, the site is no longer available. When I tried to go to the site (by link and by manually entering the addy); I was forwarded to a different page (http://epremiumhosting.com/suspended.page/) saying the following:

This Account Has Been Suspended

Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.

So that is where it all stands. I was blamed for something that I didn't do, and when I threatened to "tell the world": now I cannot even access the site. Now perhaps I am wrong, and maybe I am taking this too far...but what else can I believe when after almost two weeks: I have been left out in the cold...without getting resolution to this whole situation.

A Long Wait Time For Payment From Bux.to

I have been a member of Bux.to for a few months, and I earned enough to request a payment sent to me probably about a month or so ago. However, I did not request such a payment until I had earned over $50 ($51.76 to be precise). That was on Monday, October 22, 2007. At that time, I was under the impression that I should receive my payment within a few days...or so I was hoping. However, Bux.to had changed their payment policy, and according to their FAQ's, I now have to wait 30 BUSINESS DAYS, before I will get my money in my PayPal account. If I have calculated this correctly, this will put the payment date by Monday, December 3, 2007.

I do understand that bux.to needs to verify that I have actually earned this money; and they probably want to make sure that they have been paid by their advertisers: but in this day and age; with all the technology that there is - I would think that this should be able to be taken care of much sooner. But perhaps this is just a nature of the PPC industry. I do have a long standing account with another PTR company that has a simularly long wait period from request to payment.

I guess my biggest concern is just that I am hoping that this company is for real, and that I am not going to be ripped off. I have invested about $135 so far for referrals...and a lot of time in reading the 30 second ads (I have read 286 of them so far). And I am also planning on making an purchase to upgrade my account to a pro membership (another $59); as well as to purchase even more referrals (another $98)....all before I get my first payment. I may have sunk about $300 into their system, before I even have any money back from them.

So I will sit here, biting my nails and biding my time as I wait and hope for money from this company. I have put my faith (somewhat skeptically) into this system...and I hope that they will in turn, convert me into a true believer.

Update Of October Promo - 071021*

This is our second week for October's promotion (see below), and the stats are as follows
(top 3 refferers):

• 1005 - 4 Referrals
• ? - 0 Referrals
• ? - 0 Referrals

As you can see, there has been only one individual that has been marketing this site. We want this site to be the best for everybody...but we need your help. We are doing our part, but we ask that you help us by helping market the site as well. With a little more than a week to go, we would like to hit the goal of 50 new referrals to this site. This is a very possible goal...but it will take the efforts of everyone to obtain it.

Lets work together...because as the sites grows, so do the hits to all of our own personal pages. And remember...this site is Of The People, For The People, and By The People. Each of us can make this site better today than it was tomorrow...and even better tomorrow than it was today.

TE's, PPC and More...

About a two months ago, I started exploring these Pay To Click (PTC) sites, to see if they are a viable option to make additional funds on the Internet. I didn't (and still don't) have great expectations of these sites to make thousands of dollars; but I was hoping that I could possibly make maybe an extra hundred or so each and every month.

The first of these that I explored was a site called Bux.to. Initially, I started as most people do, and just went off my own efforts (without having any referrals). Of course I have advertised it on my other sites, but I have not received any referrals from them. So after a few weeks, I decided to "take a chance" and "buy" some referrals. For about $35, you can get 35 "unreferred" referrals that have come and signed up on the site without having a corresponding referrer.

OK...so after a few more weeks (about a month, I think), I saw that my income was increasing quicker than I could have done on my own. So now I decided that after making about $8, I would try to get some more referrals. So we purchased an additional 100 unreferred referrals for about $98. In the last month, our income from the total 135 referrals, as well as our continued efforts, has exceeded $50 ($51.80 as of this writing). So we have already made back our first investment of $35, and our on our way to making back our next $98.

So now, I am testing their payment system. Today, we requested a payment to be sent to our registered PayPal account in the amount of $51.76. I am hoping that this will be paid within this next week. If all goes well there, then I will next try their "Premium" account...which pays .0125/site viewed as apposed to the .01/site for a standard membership. And you also get the same rate for the viewings of all of your 1st tier referrals. And lastly, I am planning on increasing my referral base up to 1,000 within the next 10-12 months. Once achieved, this should bring in about $1,800 in monthly revenue.

Now this is not the only site that I have signed up on. I am currently a member on about 13 sites...and I have quite a few more that are in Que...awaiting sign up. It is apparent to me that by developing a large number of referrals, and by spreading my activities across many sites: I should be able to hedge my income streams in case of loss or fraud from other areas in our M.S.O.I. portfolio.

Over the coming months, I will be writing about my experiences with these different Pay To Click/Pay To Read sites: both good and bad. Additionally, I will continue to work with the many different Traffic Exchanges (TE's)...both automated and manual: and let you know my opinions about them as well. If you like what I have to say...then I hope that you will check out these sites. If you don't, well I hope that you will still check them out, to see if I am right. Of course, if I report to you that a site appears to be a scam or sham...I do hope you will heed my advise, and stay away. But of course, it is all up to you.

Introducing Our Newest Site: RealtyTraderSpot.com

Dear Friends:

A few weeks ago, we purchased the rights to a new site. However, with all of the new activities that we have been going through, it just got pushed on the back burner...at least that was until today. Today, we received an e-mail saying that if we didn't make arrangements for the hosting of our site (give our payment information); then the site would be gone forever. Well, we didn't want that...so we made the appropriate arrangements...and the site is now once again...up and running.

So what is the name of the site, and what is it about? Well, the first question should be apparent from the title of this blog: RealtyTraderSpot.com. This site is geared to help those who are looking for apartments or houses to rent; as well as to those who are selling or renting. Additionally, you can list vacant land, garages and other real estate on this site. And there are many supports on the site where you can get information concerning mortgages and other real estate associated information.

Now that it is up and running, we hope to get traffic to it through our current and future marketing efforts. We have added it to the rotation of sites on http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/; as well as have submitted it through one of our automated site submission software programs to (hopefully) get even more traffic. Please take the time to visit our site and to let us know what you think. Just add your comments here so that we, as well as everyone else, can see what you think. Of course, please keep your comments limited to the subject matter at hand.

HERE YE....HERE YE...

ATTENTION IN THE HOUSE!!

071007 - Last week, I made mention of an up-coming special promotion that I was going to be working on. Well...I now have it...and I think it is "THE BOMB" !!

From now until the end of the month, we will be holding a contest for the most referrals to our site. There will be four winners as follows:

• Third Place: 100 Credits


• Second Place: 250 Credits


• First Place: A 6 month Gold Membership plus 600 Credits* (Gold Membership retail value of $30)


• Grand Prize: A 6 month Platinum Membership plus 600 Credits* (Platinum Memberhips retail value of $45)

*Credits for First and Grand prizes will be paid in six equal monthly payments: starting shortly after the end of this promotion. These credits will be in addition to the normal credits associated with these account levels. All other winners will receive their credits within 24-48 hours following the end of this promotion.

We will continue (for now) our existing new site levels for referral bonuses of 100 credits for Free (basic) referring members; 150 credits for Gold referring members, and 200 credits for

Platinum referring members. All referral bonuses will be paid out after the referral has met the minimum amount of surfed pages.

And lastly, we are temporarily lowering the basic member timers to the Gold membership level of 10 second rotations (Platinum members will continue to enjoy 7 second rotations).

This site is Of The People, For The People, and By The People. Your imput is always appreciated.

Pay It Forward

When I think of all that I have, I know that I am truely blessed. When I have been in need, some how, some way: my needs have always been met. And when I can, I too try to give to others. Not to expect something in return (though I do get something); but because it is the right thing to do. Of course, in this day and age, I do find myself "sifting" through all the scammers and con artists. But eventually, when I give, it is becaue I have been prompted in my spirit to do so.

So why do I mention this? Well, I was just surfing the web, as I do most days. When I came across a site that had a YouTube™ video on it. The video was from one of my favorite movies: Pay It Forward with Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt (a distant reletive of mine) and Haley Joel Osment. So by watching this short video: I have become resolved and refreshed in my soul to do more to help others; who cannot help themselves. I hope that you enjoy this video, and perhaps you too will Pay It Forward.

I'm Baaaccckkkkk....

Just wanted to let everyone know that I arrive back in town this morning. Upon arriving, I had to go to the hospital to get check out after sustaining an injury while in Cleveland, OH (more about this at a later date).

I did have some problmes while out on this trip; or better said, while I was on my back home after completing my work. To read a little more about this, please check out my personal blog at http://www.startxchange.com/start.php?username=dongatto63&z=356672

Out Of Town Week Of September 23rd, 2007

Hey everyone...just want to let you know that I will be out "transporting" pretty much all of next week. I will attempt to check my e-mails while on the road; but this will assume I can find a (free) WiFi connection. I have to be back by the following Monday (10/1/07): as I have a "job" interview with Star Truck Driving School. Assuming I get this job, I will help in training the next generation of truck drivers...something I have wanted to do since I have been in the trucking industry (since 1998). Wish me luck, and I will see you all when I return (or perhaps even sooner). LOL

Lets Get Some Traffic Started Here

Well, it has been quite a long time since I have had the chance to write here. As you may know, in addition to all of my online activities, I also am a transporter of cars, vans and trucks for Transport Solutions of America (http://www.tsoa.us/). I have been going pretty non-stop for the past 1/2 year...but now things have slowed down a little; and I have been looking for "local" positions to help suppliment my e-commerce/webmaster addiction!! LOL This will also keep me closer to my web activities...and I won't have to worry about finding a WiFi Hotspot to do my work.

I have continued working online, and have been busy with several different projects. One of these was in the formation of a new Manual Traffic Exchange & Downline Builder. The name of my new site is LetsGetSomeTraffic.com. I purchased this site on line from AMCS Web Services from an eBay auction that they held. It is a little slow in getting started...as I have to learn not only the marketing...but all of the back office stuff as well.

Although I won the auction on 9/16/07...it wasn't until 9/19/07 that I was "officially" open for business. This was due mainly because I had to wait for my e-check through PayPal to clear...and then I had to get the domain name changed over into our name here at BCE. AMCS's owner, Glen, has been wonderful to deal with. He has been very responsive to our needs, and in helping us get this started. If you need some work done, I would recommend Glen and AMCS Web Service to help you get started.

Happy New Year

Our Dear Friends:

Another page has turned as we enter this new year. What will this new year bring for us? What do we have to look forward to? Will this be a prosperous new year? With these and all the other questions we have, we may want to enter this new year with much trepidation....but is that really needed? Well, I guess you should always have a certain amount of caution in everything you do...but being overly cautious may not be necessary. The important thing, is to keep focused on that which is important to you. Keep your eyes on your goals, and work every day to achieve those goals.

2007 doesn't promise anything more than its predecessors....but you have within you the ability to make more of this year than in the past. Dig deep within yourself to find the strength and courage to do more. Don't let any distractions keep you from obtaining your goals. There have always been, and will continue to be problems that are beyond your control. It is not those problems, but how you react to and handle them that makes the difference.

So as we enter this new year, I would like to wish each and everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year. May you be blessed and strengthened in all that you do. May peace be found in your hearts, your homes, and in the world.

Health & Happiness To All
