Mars Slider Submitted to GoofyGamer
I've finally remembered to submit the Mars Slider game to GoofyGamer. This should increase its' distribution (currently, according to MochiBot, it's present on 28 hosts) and therefore its' MochiAds revenues.

NeoBux Update
It's been slightly over a week since a rented another 10 referrals from NeoBux, this time with AutoPay switched on. Here's where things currently stand:
Money invested: $5
Money received to AlertPay (after fees): $1.80
Renting balance (can only be used to rent referrals and AutoPay): $0.505
Main balance (can be cashed out or transferred to renting balance): $1.54
Total money owed/received: $3.845
Now, currently, this is showing a loss of $1.155, however, I believe this will be made back from the new batch of referrals. Although the last lot didn't pay for themselves, with AutoPay switched on the length of the referrals is extended every day they click an ad, for a fee of course, but a lower fee than renting a new one from scratch would be.
Currently, of the 10 referrals I rented, each of which originally started with 31 days of rental, they all still have at least 27 days of rental left, and one of them has 30 days.

GetRef
I've decided to be a lot less generous with rewarding GetRef signup credits to people who join my programs. I've noticed with an awful lot of people, there entire activity in your program is join, then make credit claim. This pretty much defeats the object of getting them to join, and is also short sighted in their case.
I'd assume that the reason they are joining a program in these cases is merely to get credits and to be allowed to promote their own program, in order to get referrals. Are they wanting people to do exactly the same with them as they are doing with programs they join? I doubt it, I think they expect their referrals to be active. So, I think they should do what they expect others to do, and only join a program if they intend to at least try to be active.
I've put in my myLot program description at GetRef that, if you aren't active, you won't be credited. Still, either people aren't reading that, or they think merely joining a program - and that's the first, last and only time they visit it - counts as being active.

NeoBux Referral Update
Well, my rented referrals from NeoBux have now expired. Total credited referral clicks was 404, earning $2.02. This was less than the $3 invested in purchasing them, however there were a number of factors that probably decreased their worth. During the Christmas period, there was probably at least 1 week in total where I was unable to click ads. This decreased referral earnings. Secondly, this more than likely applied to the referrals also. Finally, I hadn't activated the AutoPay feature, as I didn't know what it did. It apparently extends the life of referrals who are clicking, by automatically deducting a daily payment - less than the cost of renting a referral from new.
I am going to give the rented referrals another go to see how it goes.
Stats to date:
Received: $2.10
AlertPay charges: $0.30
Invested: $5.00 of which $3 has been spent on referrals
Owed: $2.205

How to Study Birds
I've set up yet another ebook site, "How to Study Birds", which is designed to sell an ebook of the same name, plus a free bonus ebook. There's also an affiliate program, run by PayDotCom, which pays affiliates 50% on each $14.97 sale made.
This is my third site so far this year, and my aim is to make one a week.

"How to Grow Beautiful Roses" Update
It's a bit over a week since I launched the "How to Grow Beautiful Roses" site. Although no sales have been made yet - and I really didn't expect to have made any - here's what I've done so far.
PayDotCom: Affiliate program has been added there.
Affiliate Directories: Submitted site to directories from that list.
3 affiliates signed up so far.
Article Marketing: Made one article,"Preparing to Grow Roses, or Laying the Foundation" , using material extracted from the book. Submitted it to Article Marketer.
Link Promotion: Submitted the site to General Free list from the Vilesilencer site.
The site is already in Google. According to Google Webmaster Tools, it currently ranks at 9 for the search term how to grow beautiful roses. Not bad going in about a week.
Promotion has gone fairly well, now to see how well the site does.

PayDotCom
I've just started using PayDotCom to promote some affiliate programs. PayDotCom is in many ways very similar to ClickBank, although it does have a number of advantages.
Firstly, ClickBank requires a separate account for every different URL. In other words, you can't sell one product on http://www.firstsite.com and a second one on http://www.secondsite.com. You can sell a selection of products on one site though. Each account requires a setup fee too.
Secondly, until an account has paid out $100 three times on ClickBank, you can't request payments by direct transfer to your bank account. This is a fairly serious (expensive) disadvantage to anyone without a US$ bank account. I would need to either set up a bank account that deals with US$ with my bank, which I would need to have regular monthly cheques in order to justify the expense, or pay a substantial cost each time I banked a cheque, say $20-30. Once these costs start accumulating for every new account set up, it would get fairly expensive. PayDotCom pays directly to your PayPal account, which can often be transferred to a bank account for no extra cost.
Now, I'm sure PayDotCom has disadvantages too, I just don't know what they are yet. I've also added the PayDotCom widget to the blog which promotes popular products from both PayDotCom and ClickBank (see below for example).
