Bux.to Comes Through Once Again

As of today, I received my second payment from Bux.to. Bux.to is a Pay To View/Pay To Click (PTV/PPC) site: where you get paid for each site that you view; as well as for each site that people that you refer view. Additionally, if you don't have time, or just are not good at getting referrals...you can do as many people do (including myself), and purchase them.

Well, after checking my account this evening, I discovered (by looking at my stats), that I had been paid. Unfortunatly, there were a couple problems with getting my pay: albeit minor ones. The first was the fact that I didn't get paid when promised. According to Bux.to's T.O.S., you have to wait 30 business days (approx 45 calendar days) before you get paid. I requested my payment on December 30, 2007...so it has taken 51 caledar days to get my money. But actually, this is better than my first payment...which took over 60 days to get paid.

So here is my proof of my latest payment:

Bux.to Payment 080219

And while I'm at it, here are my latest stats on Bux.to:
Bux.to Stats 080219


Now if you see from above, my current account balance is already nearing $1,000. I will wait until it breachs this level, or by the end of the month (which ever comes first) before I make my next payment request. As of my last check (last week), I had estimated that I was averaging around $17-$18/day income. Based off of that calculation; it is conceivable that I will hit my target mark within the next few days. I will post a new entry when I get there, to mark the event.

One other thing, before I go. What do you think I did with all the money that I just received? Did I take my wife out for a really nice dinner? How about buying something nice on eBay? Or maybe I just sent the money to my bank for later use. The answer is: None Of The Above!! What I did, was what any good business owner would do: I reinvested my earnings back into my business. In this case, I purchased more referrals, so that I can increase my average daily income, and overall income.

I purchased two 100 referral packs at $98 each; as well as a 35 referral pack for about $35. With these newest referrals, I will have a total of 870 referrals. Hopefully this will help me as I strive to start earning several thousands of dollars every month. I will then be able to use my income to invest in other of my online activities & websites that I currently manage; as well as future web site activities.

ClickxVault.com No Longer

After one month of trying to get back to ClickxVault.com; after blogging, writting e-mails, doing Google Searches for this elusive site...I finally have resolved myself to the fact that ClickxVault.com is no longer out there. As of last night, I had done some searches (once again) for this site....and I decided that I was going to do some screen shots to document my results.

Figure I.
Photobucket

In the Figure I., you can see the message that I received when I navigated to (by shortcut) the address for ClickxVault.com. As you can see, the saved shortcut included the file Index.php. I have received this same error message for the past week or so...but prior to this, I just received the basic "cannot find..." IE message (Error 404).

You may also note that in this message, there is a contact e-mail listed. I wrote to the owner at this address on 2/16 at 10:42PM; and received an error message the same minute stating the following (Figure II.):

Even when I tried taking the web address (in figure I), and backing off the php file, I still received a very strange result:

I have NO IDEA what the heck that was about...but no matter.


Getting back to looking at Figure I. , I noticed that the e-mail address ended in ".net". So I decided to try using the same web address...only changing it from ".com" to ".net". And what do you know: IT WORKED. I was finally able to regain access to this site. In fact, when I logged in, I noticed that my income had even increased several dollars since my previous login one month prior.


So once again I am left pondering what went wrong here. Obviously, the site was changed from a .com to a .net: but did I recieve any notification of this change? To be honest: I really don't know....so I don't want to say that I had not. I receive over 100 e-mails a day...and with my travels for work: I sometimes miss some of them. Or perhaps I just ignored it...thinking it was just a minor e-mail.


I guess I should retract my previous beliefs in my last blog post on February 14, 2008 (Latest Bad News About ClickzVault). However, I do not appologize for my feelings. As I have said in that post, I belong to several sites, and I have never had any problems; especially to the extent that I have here...on any of these other sites. But still, as long as this site is making money for me, I will stay with them.


I should also say that due to the increase in my reported income from the ClickzVault site, I am now only "down" -$2.77". I am planning on making my first request ($10.48 or whatever the balance is at the time) soon. I will write a seperate post to let you all know how this turns out.


So once again, let me restate that, at this time, I don't think that ClickzVault is a scam. And unless I find irrefruitable proof to the contrary; that will remain my official position.
