Being a rape-ee</title><content type='html'>That's rape-ee (someone who has been raped) not rapist (someone who rapes others!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thought I needed to put that in, you never know, but then, if you are reading this then you are not that stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that it's been a looooooooooooong time since I last put anything on my blog, but that's cos I keep forgetting it's there (don't we all?). Anyhoo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I thought (as I'm in that sort of mood) that I would talk about something that has been on my mind for, well, nearly 16 years now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between the age of 11 and 16, I was raped nearly every single day; barring xmas, new year and easter. Yes, even on my birthday I was raped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what's it like? For those that have never been raped, saying 'you have no idea' seems a bit cliche. But then, I guess that's right. Okay, so what's it REALLY like to be raped?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine. You are 11 years old. You are not really popular - you don't have any friends - and then someone in your primary class starts being your friend. You are all excited. I mean, why not? This is your first time of a friendship! You'll do anything to have a friend. So they ask you to meet up with them after tea; which you agree to. You end up talking about crap, nothing in particular, just your normal 11 year old stuff. Apparently not. The conversation went along the lines of sex. It wasn't an option for me. Not because I didn't want it. I could get, well, excited, but it wasn't the most important thing in my life. I was 11 years old after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the conversation, from my point of view was completely innocent. I was brought up to be open minded, and it was something I agreed with (WAY to strong minded to be dragged into a view I don't believe in; even at that age, but more on that later).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... 50 yards up the road from my house was this steep path down to a stream which led into fields. Once we got down to the stream, he (and if anyone reads this and is interested in a name, I am MORE than willing to give this out). Anyhoo, for reference, this is based in Cornwall, UK. Whatever. So we are down at the stream, well out of the sight of any houses, etc., and the conversation, once again, lead to the whole 'sex' subject. Obviously, he had a particular "thought" in mind. I never picked up on it. Before I knew what was happening, he had hold of my arm and was forcing me to touch his (already 'hard' member) which, okay, I will admit, was not horrible, but was definitely weird. I thought he was WAY to young to be even considering such thoughts, let alone actually doing something about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This then led to him either forcing me to come to his house - remember, he was in my class at school. Unfortunately for me, he was even in most of my classes at secondary school (11 years +). He was popular enough to have me beaten every day that I did not agree to me going over his place, or coming over to mine. He acted SO nice in front of my mother that she didn't even have a clue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How come my mother didn't have a clue? I came from a good family. My parents loved me. My sister and I argued and fought all the time. Nothing weird. No divorce, no mysteries. But the only way I could cope with it; the rape, that is, was to supress my feelings. My emotions. My parents, which I don't blame WHATSOEVER!, thought I was just being a 'typical' teenager.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the worst was being up in my bedroom, after my mother had answered the front door, letting this 'kid' in; being happy that I had a 'friend'; and being raped. Knowing that my mother was downstairs not even knowing a thing what I was going through upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But without dragging the story on for a daily basis for 5 years, I'll cut the story short. I now have foreskin that won't pull down because it was forced by 'him' and ended up splitting and now is too narrow to 'draw back' and the other side (yes...) was also 'damaged' due to him. Remember, I wasn't fully developed! That's what I put it down to anyhoo. He wasn't the biggest in the world, but he wasn't small either. Just enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worst was when I left his place and had to run home with my foreskin half way down my shaft, bleeding. Just because I had to get away. When I got back, I had to go to the bathroom immediately and, well guess...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried saying no, but as I mentioned above, if I didn't I was bullied as he was popular enough to 'order' such things. Even though I was bullied anyway, but... I don't know; perhaps I was wrong. Maybe if I just put up with the bullying and said no, he would have got bored eventually, but the bullying if I didn't do it was too much to cope with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jumping 5 years on from this point (I'm 21 by this point), my mother is taking me to work as I didn't want to go and she 'insisted' that I go and, so, was taking me (you know what mothers are like? Right?) I ask her to pull over. I must have sounded serious because she pulled into the next layby. I said that I had something to tell her, and she was all angry and 'stressy' because she was thinking I was going to come up with some pathetic excuse as to why I didn't want to go to work. I did, but I was going through problems at the time (oh, I'm also bipolar. REALLY  doesn't work together with surpressing emotions).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man I wish I could talk to someone IN PERSON about this. Someone who can offer some advice, or not, just someone who I can trust and feel comfortable with. So I'm going off on a tangent. Let me continue...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we're in this layby and I'm sitting there staring out of the windscreen and, obviously, I start stuttering. Eventually I tell her that I was raped. What I actually said was;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was raped. Nearly every day. For 5 years."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother, who seemed 'scarily' calm, asked who it was. So I told her. That was it. She just broke down. I had never seen my mother SO distraught in my life and I didn't even know what to do. (Fuck, I thought I would have been over this by now, but need a little break...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, back. (4 mins, btw). So my mother is crying (for want of a much strong word) that she can barely breath. I'm just sitting there. No emotions. Nothing. She asked me if I actually cared about what had happened and I told her that I had I've had time to come to terms with it (a total lie. I'm 31 now and still I haven't come to terms with it. The nightmares...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she opened up to me once she had calmed down a bit. I found out that my sister had also been raped. That's when I broke down. Break...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the break there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I had known about what had happened to my sister, I would never have told my mother. I really didn't want to say anything, but I was going through a really bad time and needed to tell someone who cared. I didn't have any friends to tell and a shrink just doesn't 'wing it'. I was going to have a chat with my sister about it and I'm glad I didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhoo, I won't go into my mothers' problems as that's her personal life and shouldn't be written here. I will say, however, my mother didn't cope too well. She told my sister who, also, didn't take it too well. My dad, when he found out, wanted to just go around and kill him, but he was talked out of it saying something along the lines of "he's not worth going to prison for" or something (I wasn't there at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's amazing. I have lived knowing that my parents have always been there to support me, but I also know that they are not proud of me. I have never achieved anything in life. Every time I try and 'better' myself, it comes back and it's like taking 1 step forward and two steps back. But I try. Just for my family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what else to say. Apart from the 'blokes' name that raped me. His name is Adam Hawker.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7463722162523279833-343773878081930598?l=thumoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/feeds/343773878081930598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7463722162523279833&amp;postID=343773878081930598' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/343773878081930598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/343773878081930598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/2009/01/foxiii-on-being-rape-ee.html' title='FoxIII on...

But what do you advertise? HOW do you get that income that people talk about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, to begin with, I am going to start with PTC/PTR's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PTC or Paid To Click and PTR or Paid To Read, are programs that do exactly what they say. They pay you to either click on a link or banner or pay you to read emails. The amount you get varies greatly, but a good figure to keep in mind is $0.01 per click or email.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't sound much does it? Well, no. Unless you have referrals. This is where your income is. Without referrals, your income will be very limited. With referrals your income will be almost limitless!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what programs do I suggest you join?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first program is called &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yphgqz"&gt;Strawberry Clicks&lt;/a&gt;. They pay between $0.0025 and $0.01 for each link clicked. This is an excellent program to begin with. They have over 100 links available for you to click daily, so you can straight away see that it is possible to reach the minimum payout of $9.99 within two weeks without any referrals. Now imagine if you had lots of referrals under you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only this, but they also pay 100% referral earnings. With just one referral, this will double your money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have signed up with &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yphgqz"&gt;Strawberry Clicks&lt;/a&gt;, the best thing to do would be to get your referral link and insert this into each of your Traffic Exchanges and assign all the credits you have available to it. This will then begin advertising your site. You can then return to Strawberry Clicks and get Paid To Click!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember though, you will still need to surf those Traffic Exchanges to enable your referral link to be seen!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7463722162523279833-2288134638908774294?l=thumoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/feeds/2288134638908774294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7463722162523279833&amp;postID=2288134638908774294' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/2288134638908774294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/2288134638908774294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/2008/02/now-for-income.html' title='Now for the income...'/><author><name>FoxII</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14903066344316445677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463722162523279833.post-8703570227574281143</id><published>2008-02-25T15:44:00.004Z</published><updated>2008-02-25T17:29:39.084Z</updated><title type='text'>Build up your traffic</title><content type='html'>To begin with, you are going to need traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it can take some time for free members to build up traffic in the various programs, it is a good idea to start building up traffic before concentrating on anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do I suggest?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yoca3l"&gt;Affiliate Funnel&lt;/a&gt;. This program lists Traffic Exchanges and Safelists and is very popular as the rankings are defined by the ratings of surfers so it is an accurate representation of which Traffic Exchanges and Safelists are the best to join.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together with this, you can also enter your referral links all in one place so that you only need to advertise one link which is very helpful for free members. Otherwise you would have to rotate all your referral links which can be both confusing and time consuming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning there was a funnel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with, sign up with &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yoca3l"&gt;Affiliate Funnel&lt;/a&gt;. When you are logged in, click on the Traffic Exchange link at the top of the page. This will show the current rankings of the top 50+ Traffic Exchanges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal advice, and probably everyone else's too, is to sign up for the top ten Traffic Exchanges at the start. This is to ease you into the Traffic Exchange world which can be quite intimidating if you are new to this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you sign up for each Traffic Exchange, remember to put your referral link in the box shown. At the bottom of the Traffic Exchange ranking page, you will be able to save your referral link information and your voting. Obviously, there is no need to vote before you have had a chance to look at the program!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the reason for using this program becomes obvious. Everytime someone signs up under you, they will sign up for the Traffic Exchanges and you will gain a referral. So potentially, you could receive 1 referral in every program on the ranking list for each referral. Good, eh? Well, yes and no. There will be lots of people already using &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yoca3l"&gt;Affiliate Funnel&lt;/a&gt;. These people will have already been using Traffic Exchanges that are in the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But do not lose hope! Remember;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There will always be a regular stream of new potential referrals (you're one!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, you should be signed up to at least ten Traffic Exchanges, and the &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yoca3l"&gt;Affiliate Funnel&lt;/a&gt;. What you want to do, is put your &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yoca3l"&gt;Affiliate Funnel&lt;/a&gt; referral link into these Traffic Exchanges so that they will be seen by other members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a good idea to begin thinking about organisation. Firstly, ensure that your links are organised. If they are all over the place, or too hard to get to then you will be losing a lot of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you use more than one computer, or you have dual operating systems, then it would be a good idea to download and use the &lt;a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/"&gt;Firefox&lt;/a&gt; browser. This is the easiest to use and very powerful. Once you have the browser installed, there are a couple of plugins that you can install which will make your life easier. Don't worry, they are easy to install.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722"&gt;NoScripts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will allow you to choose which scripts you want running and which you don't while you are using the internet. Basically, you will have a little icon in the bottom right hand corner with a blue S on it and possibly a red circle with a line through it on top. If you click on this, you can allow certain scripts to run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are using the Traffic Exchanges, you MUST allow them to run scripts - these are easy to tell, they will most likely be bold in the list and the same name as the website you are on. The timers on Traffic Exchanges will not work without being allowed to run their script. Also, if there are any scripts in the list such as AdSense or google-analytics, allow these. Basically, this is just courtesy. You wouldn't want someone viewing your website and you not to earn from the advertising you have on your page, so don't block them with other sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410"&gt;FoxMarks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an online bookmark manager. Your links are saved online, so if you have &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410"&gt;FoxMarks&lt;/a&gt; installed on Firefox on two different computers or operating systems, you will always have the same links available to you. This is also useful if you have to re-install anything by saving you from trying to remember all your links. &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410"&gt;FoxMarks&lt;/a&gt; automatically updates the links as you add and remove them, so once installed, just forget about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two scripts (and there are many, many more) are free from the &lt;a href="http://www.mozilla.org/"&gt;Mozilla&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time passes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And very quickly! So organise your time so that you are able to surf all of your Traffic Exchanges everyday. The more regularly you surf, the more credits you will earn and increase your chances of getting bonus credits. I cannot stress this enough;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*   Regular Surfing is a MUST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long you spend, or how much you surf is entirely up to you. Obviously, the more time you have available, the quicker you will see things working. Try not to get dis-heartened. Remember;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*   There will always be a regular stream of new potential referrals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be hard work. To begin with, you will be surfing for days and days and not seeing any response. Don't worry. They will come and with each new referral, it makes your life a little easier. Why? Because when you get a referral in a Traffic Exchange, you will earn a percentage of their surfing credits yourself. Once your numbers start increasing, you will find that you have more credits available to advertise &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/yoca3l"&gt;Affiliate Funnel&lt;/a&gt;. This will allow you to concentrate on forwarding your plan and earning money AND will get you even more referrals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what is referred to as 'viral' traffic. It is traffic that you are receiving without having to do anything and is the same idea behind building an income online. Imagine having a 'viral' income!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7463722162523279833-8703570227574281143?l=thumoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/feeds/8703570227574281143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7463722162523279833&amp;postID=8703570227574281143' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/8703570227574281143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/8703570227574281143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/2008/02/build-up-your-traffic.html' title='Build up your traffic'/><author><name>FoxII</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14903066344316445677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463722162523279833.post-7394552994943172487</id><published>2008-02-19T17:14:00.004Z</published><updated>2008-02-19T17:20:32.994Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commercial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='problem'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exchange'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='closed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scam'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:6;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Below is an important update from Commercial Earnings. Just to give you the upstart of it, Commercial Earnings is now closed and no further business can be made with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;At the bottom is a link which will allow you to apply for a refund of any upgrade that you have paid if you are at a loss in earnings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;It is such a shame that these problems have caused the closure of Commercial Earnings and I hope that the people who have done this are found and brought to light.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:6;" &gt;ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesterday during an audit of CommercialEarnings.Com,   SEVERAL &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;CHEATERS (OVER 50)&lt;/span&gt; and at least  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;TWO (2) HACKERS&lt;/span&gt;, where detected. These   individuals have been carrying on SEVERAL ILLEGAL activities that have   caused MULTIPLE PROBLEMS with the Efficient and Accurate running of our site   and its operations. These individuals have entered many areas of Commercial   Earnings and have made changes to the way that things operate. These changes   have resulted in many items either not functioning, functioning improperly,   or just plain issuing credit for things that were not inputted by our staff.    Below we will list the items for which these PROBLEM MEMBERS have caused   issues:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;blockquote&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Paid to Clicks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; =      Multiple paid to click ads (&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;OVER 250&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;)      where placed without the authorization of our team. This      resulted in massive amounts of money being earned that had not      been paid into our system either by members or by direct      CommercialEarnings.Com advertisers.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Auto Ad Viewer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; =      Multiple sites where added with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;NON      EARNED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; credits assigned to them. These sites where      NOT authorized or approved by our staff. A large number of these      sites where on our &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BANNED LIST&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;,      and thus would never have been approved for ad viewing by our      members. Although this issue was not huge, it is/was still a      problem as this resulted in credits being earned that were not      provided by our site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;      &lt;p align="justify"&gt;The use of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;AUTO       BOTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was detected.      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;      &lt;p align="justify"&gt;The use of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AUTO       CLICKERS &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;was detected.      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;      &lt;p align="justify"&gt;The credit addition code had been altered       to credit some members with much higher credits earned than       was setup by our administration team.      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;      &lt;p align="justify"&gt;The timer coding had been altered,       allowing for faster page viewing, and thus much higher and       faster earnings of credits than was established by our team.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;     &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Manual Ad Viewer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;      = Multiple sites where added with &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;NON      EARNED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; credits assigned to them.

This      resulted in massive amounts of money being earned that had not      been paid into our system either by members or by direct      CommercialEarnings.Com advertisers. The reason this resulted in     &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UN-EARNED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; proceeds, is      because it was performed as if a member had Actually Purchased      this ad, which paid the upline a commission.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Text Ad System = &lt;/b&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Multiple Text Ads (&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;OVER 400&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;)      where placed without the authorization of our team. This      resulted in massive amounts of money being earned that had not      been paid into our system either by members or by direct      CommercialEarnings.Com advertisers. The reason this resulted in     &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UN-EARNED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; proceeds, is      because it was performed as if a member had Actually Purchased      this ad, which paid the upline a commission.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Banner Ad System = &lt;/b&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Multiple Banner Ads (&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;OVER 300&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;)      where placed without the authorization of our team.

This resulted in commissions and earning      being credited to a member that had NOT actually signed up for a      given service or program. In addition to this, this also      resulted in the loss of the effected advertiser from the list of      Approved Vendors for CommercialEarnings.Com. This 1 action      Caused &lt;b&gt;CommercialEarnings.Com&lt;/b&gt; and its Owner &lt;b&gt;PEP ONLINE      SALES&lt;/b&gt;, to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;LOSE ALL COMMISSIONS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;      earned from the lost advertisers that this event affected. As if      this was not bad enough, &lt;b&gt;PEP ONLINE SALES&lt;/b&gt; is &lt;b&gt;NOW&lt;/b&gt;      obligated to pay the said advertisers back for commissions &lt;b&gt;     &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Already Paid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, in which these      programs had been used.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Mega Cash Deals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;      = &lt;/span&gt;Multiple CommercialEarnings.Com advertisers reported      the use of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Auto Registering&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;      software being used.

The      amount of funds added to our system illegally was over &lt;b&gt;     &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;$9,350.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This Allowed for      multiple Ad Purchases, Upgrades, and Credit Purchases that      should not have occurred without the Actual Real Deposit of      Funds using our payment processors.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Buy/Sell System Credits      Process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; = &lt;/span&gt;Multiple transactions      had been recorded in where members had sold system credits that      had &lt;b&gt;MYSTERIOUSLY&lt;/b&gt; appeared in their accounts. In simple      terms, large amounts of credits had been added to &lt;b&gt;MULTIPLE      MEMBERS&lt;/b&gt; accounts that were in turn sold back to our site for      cash proceeds. This resulted in a site &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;     LOSS OF REVENUE of over $1,034.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/blockquote&gt;   &lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;NOW&lt;/b&gt; that all of this has been disclosed, let    us now tell you exactly how and why we were late in finding out about    what was occurring within &lt;b&gt;CommercialEarnings.Com&lt;/b&gt;. First of all,    with over &lt;b&gt;1,000 active members&lt;/b&gt;, it is NEARLY impossible to    monitor each and EVERY members accounts and transactions. Although in an   &lt;b&gt;IDEAL WORLD&lt;/b&gt; we would love to have done this, it simply is not    realistic to have done so, as there are literally &lt;b&gt;   &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;hundreds/thousands of actions or transactions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;    occurring within a single &lt;b&gt;ACTIVE&lt;/b&gt; members account on a daily    basis. This means that we would have had to have a staff of over 200    people in order to be able to monitor every member of our site. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;So, how did    we finally detect what was occurring?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;    &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Early Sunday Morning Several Advertiser&lt;/b&gt;     emails were received by our Administration team. In these emails,     the advertisers were reporting the use of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;    Auto Registering Programs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;    False&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;make believe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;     signups. In their emails, to summarize them, they &lt;b&gt;    &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;FIRED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;CommercialEarnings.Com&lt;/b&gt;     for lack of protection measures to ensure that our members where     indeed &lt;b&gt;REALLY&lt;/b&gt; registering for and buying their products or     services. As a result of their termination of our accounts with     them, they &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;RESCINDED or TOOK BACK, ALL     COMMISSIONS EARNED BY US&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emails received by some of the above mentioned     CHEATERS - &lt;/b&gt;In these emails, these members where questioning     where their payment was, as they had stated that they had requested     it over a month ago. OUR staff knew immediately that this was not     true, as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; payment requests     made by members had been paid &lt;b&gt;(&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;both     legitimate and those now determined to be cheating members&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/b&gt;     This prompted a &lt;b&gt;EXTREME DETAILED LOOK&lt;/b&gt; into these members     accounts, and those of extremely &lt;b&gt;HIGH CASH EARNING&lt;/b&gt; members.     When this part of our audit was performed, we found all of the above     mentioned items or falsified transactions. The further we dug into     member transactions, the more cheaters we found. Thus, we next hired     a security specialist to review our entire site. This review showed     our staff all of the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BREACHES&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;    that CommercialEarnings.Com had encountered and if they could be     fixed or not.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;   &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:6;"&gt;   &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;SUMMARY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;What Does    this mean for Members &amp;amp; CommercialEarnings.Com?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Well in    short, this is not a good outcome!

The Reason PEP Online Sales can not rover from    this event, is because of the loss of our &lt;b&gt;HIGH QUALITY&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;TOP    PAYING ADVERTISERS&lt;/b&gt;.

Some are easy, some are hard, but I will try and give a good range of earning programs so that you can use the ones that suit you the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Traffic Exchanges&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever way you choose to earn online, you will at some point require the use of a Traffic Exchange. Why? They are the most popular way to advertise when you want to generate an income online and they are free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think you can do this without using a Traffic Exchange, then think again. You will be missing out on &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;millions&lt;/span&gt; of potential sales. Can you really afford &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; to use them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;What are they and how do they work?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Exchanges are a script which is run on a website to enable members to advertise their products or services. There are literally thousands of these programs out there. Some will be useful and others will not be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you sign up to a Traffic Exchange, it is to advertise something you are trying to sell. To be able to advertise this product or service you will need to view other members' sites. This is called 'surfing'. Surfing shows you a website for a period of time, for example 20 seconds before showing you a number/word/picture that you must click. This is to stop members from using auto-clicking software. The time allows you to view the other members' sites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is them selling to you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Everytime you view one website, you get either a portion of, or a full, credit. You can then assign the credits you earn to your website and it will be shown in the same manner to other members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may sound like you will be clicking forever and a day to get a few credits. Unfortunately, part of that is true. If you really want to advertise your product or service &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; get sales, you need a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;lot&lt;/span&gt; of credits and you will be surfing for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that all the top Traffic Exchanges offer bonuses to members. These range from competitions to bonuses while surfing. This is another method of getting members to actually look at what is happening which also increases potential sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Which Traffic Exchange?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned above, there are thousands of Traffic Exchanges out there. Luckily, the number that are worth using are not quite as large and the number that you MUST join is even fewer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My suggestion to begin on your travels, is &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2gydvs"&gt;Commercial Earnings&lt;/a&gt;. If you are planning to earn your income without spending any of your own money, this one is a definite must. Whether you are joining to earn yourself an income, advertise your site, or both this is a very professional and easy to use site. Some of the facilities include;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Manual Click&lt;br /&gt;Auto Click&lt;br /&gt;Paid to Click&lt;br /&gt;Paid to Sign Up&lt;br /&gt;Sell 10,000 credits for $1&lt;br /&gt;Downline Builder&lt;br /&gt;and much, much more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To give you an idea of what sort of earnings you can expect, here are my earnings for 12th February;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;Logging on:   $0.006&lt;br /&gt;PTC:   $0.180&lt;br /&gt;Surfing:   $1.450&lt;br /&gt;Selling credits:   $2.000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total:   $3.636&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the roughly what I earn every day with &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2gydvs"&gt;Commercial Earnings&lt;/a&gt;. So you can see the potential earnings;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;Weekly:   $25.452&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;Monthly: $109.080&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one program that I strongly recommend. They are building up a good member base and the potential is limitless!&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2gydvs"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7463722162523279833-1303211945063441920?l=thumoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/feeds/1303211945063441920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7463722162523279833&amp;postID=1303211945063441920' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/1303211945063441920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/1303211945063441920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/2008/02/in-beginning.html' title='In the beginning...'/><author><name>FoxII</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14903066344316445677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463722162523279833.post-5721606760286698788</id><published>2008-02-12T01:11:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-02-12T01:48:10.827Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rich'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='online'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exchange'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='traffic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='income'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='viral'/><title type='text'>Can you earn an income online?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Of course you can! There is absolutely no reason why, not only earn an income, but earn a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;large&lt;/span&gt; income and a regular (viral) income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great, huh? All you have to do is copy exactly what I'm doing and you'll soon be making millions. Right? Wrong. If you are here because you want to earn yourself $000's a week in 7 days, then I suggest you go away and have a serious think about what you really want. Why do I say this? Because, although it is not impossible for someone to earn excessive amounts of money online in a short space of time, generally it is more of a dream for most people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Why do I say this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Because those people who earn all the money are the one's who come up with the new programs that allow you to earn an income. These program owners will be the people earning the most money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, come the people who are in the program owner's immediate circle. These can be family, friends, co-workers and close contacts. They will not earn as much as the program owner, but they will still benefit largely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After this, comes the group of 'online earners'. These are the people who make a full-time living out of earning online. They will be earning large amounts. This is where the majority of people aim for as it gives a nice balance between earnings and the amount of effort getting into a program early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally is everyone else. The rule of thumb is: the quicker you get in, the more you earn. The problem that these people have (and I'm guessing you're one of these if you are reading this) is finding the programs quick enough for you to gain those earnings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another problem is that people in the 'online earners' and more so, everyone else, have to be on the ball all of the time. Not all programs that come along will be successful. Some will fail miserably. Some reasons are;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                            Bad Idea&lt;br /&gt;                                            Copied Idea&lt;br /&gt;                                            Wrong time&lt;br /&gt;                                            Bad owner&lt;br /&gt;                                            Scammer&lt;br /&gt;                                            Too much work for too little money&lt;br /&gt;                                            Too much money for too little work (yes! This does happen!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;;and of course the list is not exhaustive at all. There are many things to weigh up before you decide to join a program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned above, the best way to learn online is to work your way into the 'online earners' group. This will not be easy. This will not be quick. I am not here to offer you a 'get rich quick' scheme. If you still want one I suggest you either re-read this post or not read any other posts that I make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I will help you earn an income online. What to do, where to go, what to look for and, most importantly, how to get into that 'online earners' group.  Obviously, I will try and make it as easy as possible so that your time is used productively and you use none of your own money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7463722162523279833-5721606760286698788?l=thumoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/feeds/5721606760286698788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7463722162523279833&amp;postID=5721606760286698788' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/5721606760286698788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7463722162523279833/posts/default/5721606760286698788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thumoo.blogspot.com/2008/02/can-you-earn-income-online.html' title='Can you earn an income online?'/><author><name>FoxII</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14903066344316445677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
