Rev Share Global Has Record Week
The Rev Share Global admin reported that this has been a record week in two areas.
1. GRS had the most new upgrades coming from new affiliates.
2. GRS had the most new upgrades from the existing affiliates.
We are very happy to see this happen. Breaking both these records in the same week shows the continued strength of this program.

Pay It Forward Traffic Hits 6,000 Members
Yesterday evening Pay It Forward Traffic reached the 6,000 member mark which is a great and well-deserved milestone for them. A contest was running until the 6,000 member goal was reached. We are on the leader board and unofficially it looks like we came in third. We are very happy with that since we have done ZERO advertising for this almostpassive.com website. We are going to start some free marketing in a week or so after our site is further along in its construction. I guess some people have been finding us anyway. I love the natural, organic traffic that comes when you try to provide quality and helpful information. We welcome all of you that have already found us and that are helping to spread the word.

15 Ads Daily Hits 29,087 At Alexa
Alexa ranks websites according to the volume of unique traffic it is getting. The lower the number the better. A site like google at #1 is unlikely to be replaced very soon. It is difficult for a new site to break 100,000 and even harder to get under 30,000. Today I see 15 Ads Daily is at 29,087. That is a great sign showing the popularity of the site. It also means that the admin may be able to start charging more for outside advertising. Companies are willing to pay more for targeted traffic especially as a site keeps growing. Of course, the more outside revenue that they bring in the better for us as members.

Ad Shares 4 U Banners Are Getting Clicks
I have never been a big fan of banner advertising. In most cases I get 1 click for about 2-3,000 views. I have had it as low as 1 click for about 10,000 views in some cases. It is hardly worth the cost or the effort. Like anything, of course, else it depends on where the banners are shown and what you are advertising. Since Ad Shares 4 U rotates banner ads instead of web pages I did not think it would be very affective for advertising. I have been pleasantly shocked so far. In just the week I have been a member I am averaging 1 click for every 366 views. That is an incredible statistic and I hope it continues. I have two referral sign ups already from these banner ads. I have heard some complaints about how fast you use all your credits on the Ad Shares 4 U site. If I keep getting good results you will not hear anything negative from me.

15AdsDaily Adds New Option
We like 15AdsDaily even though it has been one of the quieter of the revenue share programs. It is not flashy but it has been growing steadily and always pays on time. A new option was just announced minutes ago. Now members can use their available balance to purchase upgrades on any day. Previously you could only do this on Friday but now you can do it on any day that you prefer. This is a good example of the admin listening to the members and trying to make the site user friendly. It is not easy to alter the programming on complicated sites like revenue share programs. Just a few weeks ago they also changed to a flexible surfing schedule. This has been a big hit. Now you only need to surf 15 ads daily 4 times. Actually I just worded it that way because of the site’s name. You can surf all 60 at one time or in any combination you prefer. It is nice to see the commitment and forward thinking of the 15AdsDaily admin.

MegaTraffic4U has officially launched.
People have been signing up at MegaTraffic4U for almost two weeks but you could not purchase MegaPacks. The site is now officially launched and members can purchase advertising. This one looks very promising and we are adding it to our “Best Programs” list. There are some different rules at MegaTraffic4U that you may not have expected. We like the pay plan and the whole set up. It demonstrates that the admin is most concerned about long term growth which is best for all of us.

AdShares4U Is Almost 3,000 Members
This program is still going strong. It is incredible that it is almost 3,000 members already. I would not be surprised if they reach that number by Thursday. I think AdShares4U is going to be one of the very strong programs on our list.

Ad-Ventures4U Has Paid Out Many Members
After a few weeks of turmoil and confusion AV4U has paid out a lot of members. Members that were already in profit have received nothing additional. Most members that were not in profit have reported getting about 20% of their deficit paid this week. Apparently there are some payments still going out and some members say they have not been paid yet. The admin states he will not continue the revenue share from surfing but it will come from the new gold site. He states that if members keep surfing they will share some of the gold site revenue. Understandably there are many skeptical members. The admin is supposed to come out with more details about the new arrangements soon.

Ad Shares 4 U Changes Payout Schedule
I think it is the third time that the AS4U payout schedule has been changed. Most new sites go through this kind of tweaking. There are so many elements that need to be synced together. Then if one thing needs to be changed it may affect several other things that will also need to be changed. It looks to me like the admin are trying hard to get it right and to make it a smooth and productive site. Anyway, the new schedule is that both Rebates and Referral Commissions can be withdrawn on Mondays.

Rev Share Global Had Their LR Account Hacked Again
For the second time in two weeks GRS had their Liberty Reserve account hacked into. They lost funds last time that can't be recovered. I don't know if they had any funds stolen this time. If you have been using a LR account with GRS I would recommend deleting it from your profile and add another payment processor. I only use Alert Pay anymore. It is not perfect but it has fewer problems and is much less hassle than any of the others.

AdShares4U Is Paying
There have been lots of people posting in the forums that they were paid today. It is a good sign that Ad Shares 4 U was able to pay out on schedule this very first week. They activated a cashout button for both the rebate share and the referral commissions. I started with such a small amount I will just let it roll over for awhile and see how this program does.

15AdsDaily Is Starting New Streams of Income
An email today from 15AD states it is going to start bringing in revenues from outside sources. It mentions they will be announcing two new programs to generate more income. I don't know what they are but I will probably not be signing up. I like diversity but I also don't want to spread myself too thin. At the same time I think it is a good idea for the admin to do this and I hope it is successful. Even if just a small portion of the members participate it could bring in a sizable amount of income to increase the revenue share. It could also help increase the longevity of the program.

AdShares4U Reaches 2000 Members
It was reported today that AS4U reached 2000 members in just 5 days. That is one of the fastest growth spurts I can recall for a new revenue share program. There is a lot of buzz about this one. There is still some confusion and skepticism about when referral commissions will be paid. It says right on the site that Rebate Earnings can be withdrawn on Monday and Referral Commissions on Thursday. Like usual many people want to actually get paid before they believe it will actually happen. We will know for sure next week.

Will Ad-ventures4U Pay A Final Revenue Share?
For almost a week AV4U has been going back and forth on how they would make adjustments to their program. They have promised a final revenue share to all members that are not in profit. It will be an amazing thing if an admin actually follows through with something like this. Most members are taking a wait and see attitude. Steve has also said that members would be moved into the new gold site and could still share in the profit from that site. There haven't been any details about how this would work so many are not very enthused about those prospects. The latest email just minutes ago states that the payment processors have frozen the funds and the pay run will take place Tuesday if he can get the money freed. It seems more and more unlikely that anyone will see any money paid to them.

Ad Shares 4 U Has Over 1,500 Members
This revenue share program is really catching on and people are signing up quickly. The site still has some bugs to work out and it is not fully functional. There are still some details missing like when cash out requests can be made. Most people are reporting quick responses from support.

Ad Shares 4 U Already Has Over 1,000 Members
It has been a very fast start for this revenue share program. There are many people getting excited about this new site. The admin, Tony, at Pay It Forward Traffic provided a link to sign up under him so that all his commissions would be funneled back into that program. That is another example of his innovative and forward thinking actions to help his site members prosper. I had been studying the program and went ahead and signed up with his link. I like the idea that commissions from my purchases are going right back in to another program I participate in also.

Official Launch of Ad Shares 4 U
Today is the official launch for Ad Shares 4 U. Some key marketers got an early start so there are already in the hundreds of members signed up. It won't matter if you did not join today. Like other revenue share programs it does not really matter that much if you sign up early. There is no matrix to fill where it is essential to be on top. Even if you plan on recruiting there is still plenty of time since there are literally tens of thousands of potential prospects that have not heard of this yet.
