Click http://www.webupon.com/tags/Click New posts about Click Internet Click Fraud http://www.webupon.com/Marketing/Internet-Click-Fraud.283831 There are hundreds of thousands of advertising companies out there, and 90% of them are dishonest and take advantage of advertisers! They do this in many ways, I will outline some that I am familiar with and have been a victim of even with some of the bigger players who have ripped me off as well as others!

I have used a lot of advertising agencies to find some I liked, in the process I encountered one which shall remain nameless we ran them for 3 months completely legitimately on our game website and they waited until we reached the payout and banned our account with no explanation no response to E-mails. When I finally contacted them by phone a couple months later I asked why and they replied click fraud which annoyed me as we had not! Then I asked what had become of our 50$ had it been returned to the advertisers? (if they believed the clicks we fraudulent would it not make sense to return the wasted money to advertisers?) When they replied "no" I promptly hung up the phone on them and embargoed them! They stole 50$ from me as well as the 50$ from advertisers without even telling them!

Now you may be familiar with "Paid-to-Click" most Internet users are! I have logged using 3 or 4 systems the amount of hits received and only on one site out of about 10 did I get the amount I paid for. When I approached each site they told me in case of discrepancy between my "inferior" counter and theirs, theirs would be considered correct, ya 25$ worth of correct! I had 4 reliable counters as well as 1 or 2 extras! No way they were all wrong!

The final fraud of online clicking advertising be it Paid-to-Click or just a text advertisement on a page is the fact that 70% of ALL clicks are fraudulent, this includes asking friends and members of websites to click or just plain clicking for fun with no intention of continuing on to buy or act. I cannot directly quote a source on the 70% but I have seen it consistently in my travels and it seems a very fair judgement. It amazes me how many companies still participate in cost per click advertising with the low turn over rate, the highest conversion rate I have ever received was a two-bit game advertising company at 2% conversion to joining my game and this was from prime gamer real-estate!

]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 04:48:08 PST 10 Outrageously Weird Websites That Make The Web Fun http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/10-Outrageously-Weird-Websites-That-Make-The-Web-Fun.102193 These 10 bizarre websites make the Internet bigger, but not necessarily better is just another reason to check them out.

The Internet is a very big place where the normal world ends and the weird wonderful world of bizarre begins. These ten websites are no exception, but the exception and you'll soon be on your way to discover all of the wacky, wonderful subjects and topics that some people have thought would be awesome to dedicate an entire website to their bizarre sense of taste.

1.

Are you spending too many afternoons locked up in a room while flipping through a Victoria Secret catalog and spending some quality time with yourself? If the answer is yes, and you need some help, then look no further than this website. Complete with articles, and other information developed to help break the addiction and give hands around the world a much-needed day off.

2.

According to the website, T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. stands for Test With Inorganic Noxious Kakes In Extreme Situation. In 1995, Rice University designed and performed a series of tests to test the properties of the sponge desert snack known as the “Twinkie”. An entire website dedicated the Twinkie is pretty darn weird, but in this case interesting, too.

3.

This website is dedicated to condiments (not condoms, don't let the first entry on this list confuse you), but if you want to learn about mayonnaise your out of luck. Learn about some of the most popular condiments available to dress up any of your favorite sandwiches or fries.

4.

Just accept the fact that some fads just won't die. This website glorifies the obsession with the world's most horrible hairstyle faux pa. Everything that you never wanted to know about mullets can be found on this website.

5.

Now here is a collectible that I would have never thought about pursuing. Collecting barf bags is nothing but weird to me. So, if you are interesting in seeing some barf bags from around the world, then stop making excuses and pay this website a visit.

6.

This website is extremely weird even bordering dangerously close to stupid. Truthfully, I have found it terribly difficult to describe. To make things even worst this website allows its visitors to submit their own “Oo” to the list. This website is totally useless, incredibly difficult to explain and worthy of its place on this list.

7.

This website is the perfect place to find stupid gifts, gags and goodies that are as bizarre as this website is. Imagine the expression on your love ones face when they receive a Tattoo Sleeve, a Hillary Nutcracker or an electronic yodeling pickle as a gift from you. Just remember to remove the receipt, because payback is hell and there are plenty of odd, stupid and bizarre gift ideas to choose from and worst yet you might receive one of them as some kind of bizarre gift-giving payback.

8.

Finally a website that I can get behind even though it is bizarre. The Darwin Awards are awarded individuals who improve the world by accidentally removing themselves from it. Within the pages of the Darwin Awards are hilarious stories and events that chronicle the enterprising the demises of people doing some really bizarre things. Warning: Some people may realize that they can do two things at once; laugh and pee at the same time.

9.

Who farted? Rule number one should be, whosoever farts in a crowded elevator should have to endure fart jokes for the rest of the ride. Being the butt of jokes should make one think twice before cutting the cheese after the elevator door closes. Seriously, this is a bizarre website that outlines proper elevator etiquette especially when not riding alone.

10.

Have you ever wondered? I know I sure have. This website is the prefect ending to this article, because, well…Click if you dare. Believe me, it is a liberating feeling to have closure, finally.

]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 03:20:50 PST How to Make Money Online http://www.webupon.com/Money-Making/How-to-Make-Money-Online.40395 I have written this article to help you make money online! That's right! Follow this guide to start earning money from the comfort and safety of your own home!!

Before you can earn any money online, you need to get yourself a free Paypal Account. You may also find it useful to sign up for a free E-gold account. There are many different ways to earn money online, and I will cover the most common ways in this guide. So... lets begin!

PTC Sites

PTC stands for Paid To Click. These are sites that well… pay you to click on things! Usually, it involves clicking on a link or and advertisement, and viewing the resulting webpage for a certain amount of time. When this time is up, the money in your account on the site goes up by the standard rate (this varies from site to site). You can often click on many of these ads every day, therefore giving you potential to earn several times the standard rate each day.

Some good PTC sites you could try are:

Some of these sites also have PTR functions on them, so we will cover these next.

PTR Sites

PTR stands for Paid To Read. These are sites that email you a few times every day, and pay you to read (and click on the link) in each email. Then, like the PTC sites, when you have viewed the link in the email for long enough, your account will be credited with the standard rate (which changes from site to site).

Some PTR sites you could try are:

Both of the above types of websites may also have PTS features on them, so this will be our next topic.

PTS Sites

PTS stands for Paid to Sign-up. This is a website pays you to sign-up for accounts and promotional offers on other websites. Every time you successfully complete a sign-up, your account will get credited for the offers worth (just like the PTC and PTR sites). The reward for each sign-up is generally fairly larger than the rewards offered for PTC and PTS features (probably because they take more time). The reward for each PTS offer can vary from offer to offer.

A few of the earlier sites that I linked to had PTS features on them, so you could give those a go. Matrixmails is another site that (in my opinion) is a good "all-rounder".

Paid To Write Sites

This is my favorite way to earn money online. There are several sites out there that pay you to write stuff for them, such as articles, or posts in forums. The reward can vary greatly, but is usually more than the other sites I have mentioned so far (because it takes time to write your own article).

Here are a few sites you could try:

Paid Survey Sites

Paid survey sites are exactly what they sound like - sites that pay you to take online surveys. The surveys you get to take are selected for you based on the details and interests you input into the site when you sign up. The time each survey takes can vary from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. Generally, the longer the survey, the more you get paid.

Here are some survey sites that you could try:

Paid to Search Sites

There are some search engines and search sites out there that actually pay you to make a search! Some examples of these sites are ZotSpot and SlashMySearch.

And that concludes this article. However, stay tuned as I might add further methods to this article in the future!

]]> Thu, 16 Aug 2007 08:34:43 PST How to Not Get Scammed Online http://www.webupon.com/Security/How-to-Not-Get-Scammed-Online.31715 As you know there are like so many scamming companies out there. Most of them you won't or would never think are scam. Well I have done re-search about this. I have an online community and well I made a Scam Sites board on the forum. Well I had lots and lots of website that members have tried.

I checked the website out. Some of the website were about people getting paid to click, paid to read mail, and well the limit payout for one of the website was 5555$ when I saw the members post I thought that well that has to be scam because that is a really random price like someone just typed it in fast or it is the default for the script they are using. Well the member reached the payout in a week and then kept on reaching the payout.

The website said that they pay every week, but one of member who reached the payout like 5 times waited 5 months and never got paid. They tried to contact the company may ways but no reply and after 1 year they still have never got in contact, also never been paid. Well that was paid to click, read mail website.

Let me tell about those get rich quick program, they is no real one, all are scam. Well even the guy who says that I have been scammed over 36 times and these are the program that I didn't get scammed with, that is all lies. There is no such thing as get rich quick the only was to get rich is not quick but to earn it and build the earning by your self. There is such thing as get rich but no get rich quick. It takes time and hard work to get rich.
