GoldenBux.com continues to grow

GoldenBux.com continues to grow its member base at an amazing rate. So far there are 235 members, which is not that bad considering that the site has been open for only a few days.

To attract some advertisers I've lowered the price for our 1000 visitors package down to $20. This offer is valid for a week (from Sept 09 to Sept 15) so if you've got a spare $20 note feel free to give our services a try :)

Also, GoldenBux.com now has a members forum and a free links exchange. The forum is for members only and we require that you register with your GoldenBux username (we check, so don't try to be slick..lol). The free link exchange comes with only one condition, that you post a link back to our site.

The main site is available at: http://www.goldenbux.com
The forum is available at: http://www.goldenbux.com/forum

Infinity Shares Forex Investment Club (SFIC) announces 5.52% profit for Aug 2007

I just received a notice from the admins of Infinity Shares Forex Investment Club (SFIC) letting me know that they've managed to pull through August with 5.52% (technically it is 5.5277%) profit.

Here is the split up of the profit:

About 3.3% is going to increase the share price from 3.35 to 3.46.
Another 2% is used to pay out as dividend being 0.07/share.
The remaining profit is also added to the reserve funds.

After the weak performance showed in the previous months this is indeed quite refreshing to hear. I hope this performance level will continue far into the future.

For those of you who have never heard about this program see the rubric "High Yield Investments" on the right hand side of this blog.

GoldenBux: Get paid to view ads

Hi everyone. I've decided to open up my own Paid to click" site (PTC). I call it GoldenBux, and I believe it to be your golden earning opportunity. Lol, ok enough with the clever marketing slogans. Basically you will get paid $0.01 (1 cent) for each 20 second ad you view and $0.0015 for each ad your referral views. Pretty simple eh?

The minimum payout is $10, and it is handled via PayPal. However, if you're looking to purchase advertising packages we accept PayPal, e-gold, c-gold, and moneybookers. Currently our ad packages start at $28 for 1000 visitors, but stay tuned as we will soon ad 100, 200, and 500 visitors packages for advertisers on a small budget. All visitors to your site are guaranteed to be unique on a 24 hour basis.

If you're into paid to click sites I'd strongly recommend you join now while the site is young and get as many referrals as possible. So far the site has 80 members (in just 2 days after launching) and I estimate that number will double in the next 7 days or so.

Almighty Google drops all e-gold adwords ads

Well, I'm a bit shocked to hear this. According to Digital Money World Google has decided to prevent any future use of adwords ads that contain any reference to e-gold, including e-gold exchange, e-gold investment etc. Some have called this move as "fascist" and "anti free-market", others have said that e-gold had it coming and in a way deserves this because of their lack of "self regulation". I think this move is utterly preposterous. Filtering out keywords such as "HYIP" or "e-gold investment" can be somewhat justified on the grounds that it can be easily proven that the majority of such supposed e-gold investment sites are nothing more than ponzi scams, but banning completely the use of "e-gold" as a keyword is ridiculous. E-gold is a CURRENCY, much like US Dollars, and Euros. Who in their right mind would ban people from using the word "dollar" or "euro" in their advertisements. Google's decision does not seem wise to me and I think that either they have been pressured by some "outside influence" or they are embarking on some sort of moral crusade to rid the internet of ponzi scams and the like. Well, I've got news for you Google; you're not going to accomplish much because all those advertisers that used keywords such as "e-gold" will simply move to your competitors' sites.

Anyways, I am going to stop here before I go on a rant. I am interested in hearing what you people think about this, so feel free to post a response to this post.

Here is a copy of the e-mail Google sent out to its customers:

Dear AdWords Advertiser,

We are writing to inform you of a change to Google’s advertising policies that may affect your AdWords account.

In the coming weeks, we will no longer accept AdWords ads that promote e-gold.

Ads and websites are also not accepted for related content which includes, but is not limited to, e-gold exchange, e-gold investment, and e-gold accounts.

When we make this change, Google will suspend all ads identified as being in violation of this policy. If your account is affected by this policy change, please remove any e-gold content from your ad text and website. Current e-gold advertisers are encouraged to instead advertise other products or services that comply with our policies.

As a business, Google must make decisions regarding the advertising that we accept. We apologize for any inconvenience this policy change may cause you.

Sincerely,

The Google AdWords Team

** As noted in our advertising Terms and Conditions, Google may refuse any ads or terminate ad campaigns at any time, for any reason. Please note that the decisions we make concerning advertising in no way affect the search results we deliver. Google offers broad access to content across the web without censoring search results.

PPREI (Paradise Properties Real Estate Investments) is back

Everyone who has expressed an interest in PPREI should check out this e-mail I've received from the admin. It discusses some very important information that both existing and potentially new members should know.

--begin quote--

It has been a long haul to get the new PPREI site up and running, but we are finally there :)

The truth is, the site was ready a few months back and we were about to launch it but then we heard about rumors at FriendlyPay so we held off. FriendlyPay then stopped processing transactions. At this time we decided to no longer accept FriendlyPay. FriendlyPays payment system was heavily integrated into our new back end script which took a long time to do as it is not the easiest to work with (however it is very secure). So we had to change all the code for the script and re-do the site. That is why the long delay.

Now what......Well we have decided to no longer use an Escrow provider as we still do not know what is happening with FriendlyPay, and to have money tied up in any Escrow payment system is crazy. We are now using PayPal, Ebullion and Wire.

Why these options?

Simple.....PayPal has been around for a very long time and we have checked to make sure they allow Real Estate payments and our service (which they do). Ebullion has also been around for a long time and is located out of the USA or Canada so it shouldn't suffer the same problems that Egold is having plus it is a very secure site. Wire transfer, this is the easiest way to transfer money to us as you can wire it directly to us.

PPREI was built with safe payments (Escrow Payments) however with the loss we may face with FriendlyPay we can not allow that to happen again. Everyone that invested using the Escrow system, your money is still invested with us. Even though we may never get that money out, it is still invested with us as that was our promise that your funds would be safe.

REFUNDS:
For those that do not feel comfortable moving forward using these new payment options we will provide a refund back through how you paid. We will simply cancel your Escrow Payment(s) you made with us through FriendlyPay and you can try to get your money back out. Or you can leave it invested with us and if FriendlyPay doesn't come back then we will be the ones to take the loss as you have already invested the money with us.

Those of you that have invested into the Early Bird plan on the old site please go to the PLANS page and you will see a plan named OLD EARLY BIRD PLAN. You must use that plan to continue investing your monthly payment until the entire 24 payments have been paid (payments from FriendlyPay plus the new payments).

We wish to thank each of you for your patience with us while we changed our site. Without you PPREI would not exist.

Rupert
PPREI Admin
Invest in your future.

Life-Holding profit for August: 9.30%

Here is the latest news for the admin of Life-Holdings.

"August was a good month until this week, when my mainboard fried and I got sick. These events kept me offline for the better part of the working week. Nonetheless, we have a large profit figure: 9.30% net profit for investors in August."

I for one am very satisfied with 9.30% and I hope next month will be just as good as this one. Thanks should go out to the admin of Life-Holdings (you know who you are).

That's it for now.

c-gold website is now available via secure http only

I thought I should let all you e-currency aficionados know that the c-gold (commerce gold - a new e-currency backed 100% by gold deposits)website is now available via secure http only (https://). I really don't understand why they couldn't just forward http requests directly to the secure http port if security is such a concern. In my opinion it would be better if they let consumers chose for themselves the level of security they want to have. But still, even if they want everyone to forcibly load every page via encrypted http they should at least put up a notice on their non encrypted http server to let us all know. Instead all you will get when you load the website via regular http is "unable to connect". Basically what they've done is turn off port 80 on their web servers completely and left only port 443.

I hope my complaint gets noticed by the c-gold administrative staff and that someone is able to provide some sort of rationale for this decision. By the way, not even e-gold has done this or any other e-currency that I know of. None of them force you to load all the html pages on their website via an encrypted connection only.
