Pixmeup Launches Pixel Micro Ads

 

Pixmeup Launches Pixel Micro Ads

Pixel micro ads take internet by storm. In just 2 weeks Pixmeup is the largest seller in micro ads with over 1.3 million in sales.

(PRWEB) December 23, 2005 -- The compensation plan for PixMeUp.com has been designed by experts with decades of experience in network marketing. This plan has two primary objectives. First, to make it easy for you to share with others. Second to get money in your hands as soon as possible. We believe that nothing drives a deal more than you sharing the excitement of making money, not accumulating business volume or points. We belive that You want to make MONEY.

This plan is simple. We have a 3x8 Matrix that pays you from level 3 through level 8. On level one there are only 3 business centers. People are place under you whether you refer them or not. Levels 2 through 8 have (in order); 9,27,81,243,729,2187,6561 business centers. Now here's the good news. Whether you refer the people who fill these levels or they come from other people in the company they are placed in your matrix.

Here are the details?

When you join PixMeUp.com and buy an ad for $25(US) you will receive two income generating Business Centers in our 3x8 Matrix. You receive a Gold Business Center and a Silver Business Center.

You can buy as many $25 blocks of ad space as you want and you will receive a Gold and Silver Business Center for each.

Your Gold Business Center is placed [top to bottom - left to right from the top of the structure down starting with the company in the order that people join. It doesn't matter who refers them or what country they are from, they just keep filling in. Every time a Business Center falls on your 3rd through 8th levels you will get paid.

Everyone's Silver Business Center is placed under your sponsors Silver Business Center. Every time sales take place on your 3rd through 8th levels you're making money.

Filling an entire matrix would make you $9,564.75. Once you have filled an entire Matrix you will be give a new Business Center. Remember you get TWO Business Centers for every $25 ad block, so it's possible to make $19,129.50 for every $25 spent on advertising.

There are never any sponsoring requirements to get paid, but of course you will make more if you do refer others.

Matching Bonus

20% Matching Bonus on all Personally Referred People. Example: You personally refer 10 people, in their first 60 days and they each make an average $1000.00. This will entitle you would get a matching bonus of $200 per person, making you $2000. In the same scenario if you referred 100 people you would make matching bonuses of $20,000.  

The Excitement of the Plan

Every time someone buys a $25 pixel block from PixMeUp.com they get 2 business centers. Each business center pays 6 people above where that business center is placed. So, for each $25 pixel block 12 people get paid because there are 2 business centers per $25 pixel block. In addition, the 12 sponsors of these business centers all get matching bonuses. That is 24 people getting paid on one $25 sale.

Now, imagine if someone buys 10-$25 pixels for a total of $250, over 100 people could get paid!

[Editor's comment: Please ask yourself what the real value is to you in buying these faddish pixel ads before throwing away your money. Don't get sucked in by greed. If this had any real value they would not have to offer money to get others to sell for them. Avoid! -(hris ]

 

Facts on Holiday Pay Per Click Fraud

 

Holiday Pay Per Click Fraud on Ad Clicks? What Are the Facts?

While the holiday season takes shape, Pay Per Click will no doubt play a major role for much of the online sales generated, but at what cost to the advertiser? Pay Per Click fraud is expected to be bigger than ever this holiday season.

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) December 19, 2005 -- While the holiday season takes shape, Pay Per Click will no doubt play a major role for much of the online sales generated, but at what cost to the advertiser? Pay Per Click fraud is expected to be bigger than ever this holiday season.

While the holiday season takes shape, Pay Per Click will no doubt play a major role for much of the online sales generated, but at what cost to the advertiser? How many of the clicks are even real? The consensus seems to be around 50% according to most of the rising anti-fraud companies stepping into the fray to advise their clients. That means that, while the click value may very well be accurately assigned by the market, the other half or more of the clicks this holiday season will be outright phony, which will cost advertisers big time, especially mom and pops who might be caught off guard.

A small article on an SEO website (http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Search-Engine-News/PayPerClick-Destined-to-Evolve-into-PayPerAction/) takes the credit for the title ?Pay Per Click Destined to Evolve Into Pay Per Action?? , but not necessarily the idea. Froogle is an eBay skip away as it is, but it doesn?t? go the whole nine yards. Local Pay Per Call and other options have been around for some time now. We?re all just waiting for something serious to pull PPC down before we will be able to get behind a new medium, it would seem.

Most Internet Yellow Pages are flat, static, and interactively stale. U.S. advertising in Yellow Pages equaled $15 billion last year according to Kelsey Group. One out of four Internet searches is for local information. Searches for local information are likely to increase by around 33% a year, while use of the printed Yellow Pages dwindles by 4% annually, according to Kelsey. With billions of dollars of local advertising at stake, everyone's stepping up to address and tackle the local search challenge.

Traditional search engines and web directories use automated information retrieval systems to display content relevant to a user's search request. Eliminating the many difficulties and problems that are encountered and arise from the various automated tools that try to properly interpret unstructured user queries is also a challenge, leaving us to wonder how engines heavily invested in PPC and non-local approaches will fare on tomorrow?s local-focused Internet, especially as PPC behemoth Google is now fighting off litigants in court in class action suits revolving around click fraud as this is being written.

So what, if any, are the real detractions of Pay Per Action? Well, users may just have to reveal their identity as opposed to anonymous PPC, but most likely on secure servers which is no different than the part where you fill out the order form with your address and credit card information. If you?re comfortable with your favorite merchant or product carrier knowing your personal information, then there really is no problem for the consumer there. How about on the advertiser end? The only likely problem is if Pay Per Action advertisers fail to understand the medium, which requires up front information about the user. Ultimately, credit cards, as already done in many situations, confirms one?s identity quickly and accurately enough for most of us in today?s society, and poses little problems for even the guy who buys survival equipment from his camouflage lined computer chair.

One dot com pundit (http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/4663.asp) has noted a key factor being the distribution of broadband connection to the Internet, providing ?always on and always connected? access to the Internet in every home that formerly would have pulled out the worn phone book to contact a local business. This is a notable factor, as connecting at cost each time is a detraction for homes not yet plugged in 24-7. This isn?t a flaw in local search, per se, but just a small delay that will probably diminish rather quickly in the next 5 years or less, according to Jupiter Media (http://www.jupitermedia.com/corporate/releases/05.08.23-newjupresearch.html), who states that broadband will likely include 80% of all Internet users by the year 2010. With 43% already getting online via broadband [Jupiter, it would seem that the end of PPC is nearing indeed, and with it, click fraud.

Imagine a holiday season not that far away, maybe even December 2006, when the majority of clicking doesn?t automatically spend the marketing budget of the advertiser until the purchase is made. The PPC guys will lose their corner on online advertising, but the consumer and businesses will both profit when neither is forced to pay extra for the Pay Per Click?s darker side. Then clickmen will have to go back to less relaxed methods of robbing and stealing during the holidays, and simply drop the TV set when the sirens start to sound, or else get legitimate jobs, instead of fueling a rogue corporation?s offshore antics.

[Editor's comments: I'm not sure that being really fat makes this opening of a new office any more news worthy... but maybe that's just me. I certainly don't think the health risks are worth the value of making the claim.    (hris ]

Good use for recycled spam

You may or may not have been dealing with form spammers, scum that use automated scripts to find forms that they can use to pass extra data to and if the script that processes the form has some weaknesses, it can be used by them to sane spam.

They send out test emails and then collect the results at AOL, or have another script pull the results from the AOL account. I've tried making AOL aware of this problem to shut down the accounts the spammers use, but they have never responded.

I edited the scripts so that most of this junk does not go out to clients, but I sill check it to make sure that we don't miss something valid.

I don't know what happened, but tonight I snapped. I really got sick of all this form spam coming in over and over. Stupid spammers, if they just sent a few messages they would not have provoked me...

I used to have a "Catch all" email address set up. This way, I could give out all kinds of different email addresses and no matter what anyone sent, I would get it. Then about 2 months ago, spammers started using all kinds of random email address names with my domain. It started reaching 2-3 bounced messages a day and finally I had to create all the email address aliases that I needed to I would not lose any email and could then turn off the catch-all.

Then today I realized that I could create another catch-all that would forward the spam bounces to the account of the form spammer. Lemons into lemonade...! :-)

I also set myself to get a copy of all the spam that is forwarded so I could see what's going on. Right now the spam is coming in at the rate of about 180 per hour. So in a 24 hour period there should be about 4,000 at that rate.

Search Engine/Encyclopedia Hybrid Launched

Search Engine/Encyclopedia Hybrid Launched

 

March 9, 2005 - What do you get if you cross a search engine with an encyclopedia? The answer arrived on the net today - Factbites (www.Factbites.com), a new approach to search. Under the slogan "where results make sense", Factbites provides searchers with full sentences about their search topic, rather than the sentence fragments most search engines offer.

 

Rather than focusing on link-based technology like Google, Factbites delves into the tone and subject matter of the given topic. The engine "reads" the content of each page and determines how meaningful the text is. It seeks out authoritative and informative content, preferring encyclopedia-style fact-based descriptions to the chatty, spammy and inconsequential.

 

The end result is a clean summary you can almost read from beginning to end. Not only is this an effective filter against spam and clutter, it's also a time saver, because it gives users a clear picture of what each destination site is about.

 

For encyclopedia-style content, the site makes some large claims. The website challenges users to compare Factbites results to Google results. When searching for quick information on the sort of things you'd usually go to an encyclopedia for, the results are surprisingly clear - Factbites wins hands down. The site's developer, Luke Metcalfe, explains his motivation. "Having been in and around the search business for 5 years, it's become clear to me that people mostly aren't after websites - they're after information. I wanted to build a site that serves the facts straight up".

 

To refine searches, Factbites automatically suggests a number of relevant topic areas. Users can choose to filter their searches accordingly. This saves users from having to come up with extra keywords. "Far too many good results are lost when people start trying to add words to their search", says Metcalfe.

 

In this beta release, 800,000 topics are covered. "We devote a lot more processing power to every search. Factbites is never going to be the place to locate your lost aunt, or order items from your corner store", says Metcalfe. "But for meaningful content about real topics, there's nothing out there like us".

Blogs and web sites spamvertised by web site contact form - There is hope!

I manage a number of sites for myself and my clients. Over the past couple of months there has been an increasing problem with spam that is sent to us via site contact forms, and also spammers looking for forms they can use to send spam from. I discovered that if I have forms send email and the sender's email address is used as the sender of the form email, that some code can be placed in the email field and the script can them be used to send hundreds of spam emails from my server. Well we got that under control now, but we don't have a good answer yet for junk sent to us where it looks like someone has filled out a form but it's just to advertise some site.

 

I noticed that some of the sites advertised were actually blogs, and hosted at Blogger. I decided to see if I could get them interested and it worked. All of the sites you will see below are now blasted into the nothingness they deserve to be blasted to!

 

As you will see below, the next time you see a blogger-hosted blog that offends in some way, you can "Flag" it and they will check it out. If they agree with you, it will be removed from places where it can be easily found, and in some cases it may be removed completely. Thanks Blogger, you ROCK!!!

Taggg U R It: Mobile Marketing Events Hits 56% Consumer Participation

 

Taggg U R It: Mobile Marketing Events Hits 56% Consumer Participation

Captive Interactive wraps a series of exclusive, text messaging-driven events aimed at driving brand interaction among the youth demographic. The events were executed via the TAGGG Mobile Network, and today the last event of the series wrapped-up with Captive Interactive reporting average response at 56% from the thousands of consumers belonging to the Taggg community.

Taggg U R It: Mobile Marketing Events Hits 56% Consumer Participation

December 6, 2005 - Winnipeg, MB ? On June 23, 2005, mobile marketing company Captive Interactive, sponsor MTS Mobility and radio partner POWER 97 launched a series of exclusive, text messaging-driven events aimed at driving brand interaction among the youth demographic. The events were executed via the TAGGG Mobile Network, and today the last event of the series wrapped-up with Captive Interactive reporting average response at 56% from the thousands of consumers belonging to the Taggg community.
The event series focused on generating instant buzz via traditional radio and the Taggg Mobile Network. On air spots were broadcast on POWER days prior to each event. Listeners responded to on-air calls to action by texting the word FLASH to 82444. They were immediately sent a response with just a few details about the event -- full details weren't sent until hours before the event lending to a spontaneous, "flash-mob" style event strategy.

Hundreds of people attended each event, with the largest attendance exceeding 500 people. The events were staged in unique venues, ranging from a Taggg Slurpee Day celebration at 7-Eleven locations to an acoustic performance by multi-platinum rock band Seether at Chateau Bowling Lanes.
"The success of these events went beyond our expectations," said Stan Kurtas, Vice President of Marketing at MTS. "Captive Interactive took an everyday events plan and integrated the mobile component to create a real unique experience for the consumer. It was spontaneous, it was fun, and it prompted instant recognition of the MTS Mobility brand.?

Keith Bilous, President of Captive Interactive says, "The consumer commitment generated from these events was astounding. It's one thing to get a person to buy a product and text in a PIN to play a promotion. It's another to ask a consumer to spontaneously change their day's plans to attend an event. We prefer to call it a 56% commitment rate as opposed to participation rate because that is ultimately what we achieved with this marketing effort. Consumers took significant action and made a commitment to be a part of the experience," says Bilous.

The 2005 Taggg Flash event series included:

#1 - Warner Music artist Bif Naked CD release event at Pan Am Boxing Gym
#2 - Pizza & Pigskin Winnipeg Blue Bomber Patio Party at Boston Pizza
#3 - Warner Music Artist Grady performs at Lonestar Harley-Davidson
#4 - A Celebration of Summer - Taggg Slurpee Day at select 7-Eleven locations
#5 - Multi Platinum Rock band Seether performs at Chateau Lanes
#6 - Tragically Hip ALMOST Live DVD Release event at the Park Theatre

In 2005, Captive Interactive launched the Taggg Mobile Network, an interactive mobile media network that delivers instant information, exclusive offers and other content to a community of users via their mobile phone and text messaging. The Taggg mobile network uses a common mobile shortcode usable across all Canadian wireless carriers branded as 82444 (TAGGG on a phone keypad). Using this shortcode, consumers can send a text message with a specific keyword to 82444 and instantly be connected to information or exclusive offers via Taggg Mobile Network Feeds. To compliment the mobile network, Taggg.ca acts as the online portal and entry point for users to register for feeds, content and to interact with Taggg partners and other Taggg users. The key principle behind the Taggg network is its 100% user opt-in participation policy and anti-spam policy.
With the success of its first event series, Bilous says consumers will see more of this interactive medium. "We are firming up details for 2006 which include additional Taggg services and expansion into new markets."
