30/10/08. Frogress Review and Other News

Today I would like to review Frogress autosurf. It seems that there’s nothing special about this program and there are hundreds of similar autosurfs out there. But there is something that really catches the eye when you first visit Frogress website.

First it’s all about the name. It consists of the words “frog” and “progress” and it’s quite logical to describe the autosurf site that strives to become a successful one. Frogs are animals that can only move by leaps, and usually they leap forward (at least I have never seen a backwards one – and I’m a known animal lover). The word” progress” also means ” moving or going forward”. So there’s really nothing too strange about the name Frogress.

The theme of the site also reminds us of the progress the site obviously wants to achieve as you can see running people and jumping frogs. And I quite like this layout – it seems quite fresh and original after all these standard layouts with flashy banners and quasi-businessmen images in suits. It proves that the man who is behind Frogress autosurf program has good taste and a natural flair for marketing. So in this way Frogress really stands out from the crowd.

Other features of Frogress website are quite standard and it’s not difficult to figure out how to surf and earn as the site is based on the well-known Neversay script. Frogress gives you an opportunity to earn 12% for 12 days with cashouts being processed on expiry. You should surf 12 pages daily with 20 seconds per page to earn your 12% daily rebate.

The minimum to upgrade in Frogress is $6 which is the price of 1 ad unit. You can buy up to 1,000 units (total of up to $6,000). Currently three e-currencies are accepted by Frogress: LibertyReserve, AlertPay and SolidTrustPay. I advised the admin of Frogress, Jake, to add StrictPay as well and he’s now working on verification with them. So hopefully, StrictPay will soon be another option to upgrade there as well.

The site is hosted on a dedicated server by iWeb hosting which will be good when the y start to experience massive traffic. I don’t know anything about DDoS-protection implemented to avoid unnecessary downtimes. But I’m going to find out in my upcoming interview with Jake.

But I will conduct the interview only after the first payouts from the current upgrades are processed. I hope you understand that before recommending the program we must make sure that the admin has serious intentions and is paying to his members.

So since Frogress was launched only a couple of days ago the first payouts should be processed approximately in 10 days from now. I will conduct the interview then because in my opinion Frogress should first prove that they are here for the long haul because we saw many examples in the past that a program’s admin can vanish into thin air even before the first payouts are processed.

Although in my opinion Jake is not such a man as I chatted with him for quite a long time. He seemed to me a dedicated and committed person who can make his program successful. Of course, I can’t predict how long Frogress will last but so far it looks very good and I can recommend you to try it out.

Other news for today.

Some good news came today from the admin of 8DailyForever – one of the oldest programs in the industry that has been running smoothly since May 2008 (you can read the detailed review of the program here). First thing: SolidTrustPay has been integrated and now you can buy upgrades via LibertyReserve, AlertPay and SolidTrustPay. This already caused some difficulties and some members reported that their upgrades were not showing in their accounts. So the admin of 8DailyForever Susan notified everybody that she would credit all the accounts manually. This is an update regarding this:
“The STP processor is now fully integrated, so you may use it via your members area!
Both AlertPay and STP have slipped back to manual upgrading, and it seems that happened immediately after STP was integrated last night.
This just means that we have record of all your upgrades in AP and STP, but these will have to be manually added to your accounts till the issue is corrected. This isn’t a problem, as I will begin to work on doing that now. But since over 100 upgrades accumulated overnight, it will take me a little time to catch up. Your patience will be MUCH appreciated.”
Another piece of good news connected to 8DailyForever program is that from now on participation in the Lucky 13% for 13 days plan is no longer limited and you can participate even if you don’t have an active running upgrade in the Phase 1 plan. So grab this opportunity because Susan can withdraw it very soon (I remind you that the Lucky 13 plan was established to celebrate 8DailyForever‘s 5 months online). This is what Susan told the members regarding this:
“Just a quick update to let you know that although we had planned that members must have 1 RUNNING (not expired) Phase 1 adpack to purchase a Lucky 13 , it seems the system won’t allow it. I have tried to find a way around it, but nothing seems to work. So I will simply remove the option to have the system monitor this. I think that will work ok!
I have been absolutely snowed under by members cashing out to buy Lucky 13 adpacks!!! WOW…..talk about excitement these past 2 days! Folks, it would really help me if you could limit your requests to one daily. I would appreciate that very much.”

The admin of another popular autosurf AggeroInvestment which is online for more than two months now, Roger, (read my interview with him here) confirmed once more that AggeroInvestment would go private on November, 27. So you have the last couple of weeks to join this wonderful program that is paying 8.5% daily for 15 days of surfing with cashouts processed on expiry. I believe this is just the beginning of the rapid growth for AggeroInvestment and advise you all to join up and start earning. The site is based on a totally different autosurfing script but you will not have any difficulties as everything is perfectly explained on the site which is also translated into 5 languages (Russian translation has just been added) and it’s made by professional translators and not Google or similar online tools. By the way, AggeroInvestment accepts many payment processors but I suggest you use LR or SP because LibertyReserve and StrictPay members are getting paid their cashouts instantly. The conclusion: AggeroInvestment is great and you should definitely check it out!

Despite some naysayers VolcanoInvest program is still doing great after more than 3 weeks online. This is a great achievement for a program that is paying 105% after 1 day, 110% after 2 days and 120% after 3 days. You should definitely check it out if you like fast profits but be aware that the maximum deposits are limited to avoid “hit-n-runners” (you can read more info in my detailed review of VolcanoInvest published here). Of course, the program has suffered some obstacles along the way. First one was connected with continuous DDoS-attacks on their servers that made the admin upgrade their DDoS-protection to the highest level provided by BlackLotus. Now it’s an e-currency issue. The admin’s e-gold account was recently deleted from the system (NOTE: don’t use e-gold now, it’s practically suicidal!). This fact together with the AlterGold issue made the admin of VolcanoInvest sent out an update to all members where he offered the solution in exchanging e-gold and AlterGold deposits to other e-currencies with the ratio 5:1. In my opinion this is a positive step that indicates that the admin is thinking about his members. I had a couple of AlterGold deposits in the system myself so I will update you on how the converting process follows. This is the latest update from VolcanoInvest‘s admin Rob for your attention:
“The VolcanoInvest site is working fine and growing. I would like to thank to all members for trust.
1. So, about E-gold first.
After long discussion, E-gold did not give me a chance to recover my account. Account was deleted. You can easy check it, visit: http://4404304.e-gold.com and you will see error: Error: The PAYEE_ACCOUNT specified is not a valid account: 4404304.
Account was not LIMITED – account was deleted. All money are lost. If you need additional information or proofs, I can forward to you all e-mails from E-gold.
I decided to keep members which invested via E-gold by converting E-gold to LibertyReserve or V-Money or PerfectMoney.
How?
Exchange rate is $5 of E-gold = $1 of LebertyReserve or V-Money or PerfectMoney. All members (with E-gold account only) must provide other e-currency account on VI profile (LebertyReserve or V-Money or PerfectMoney). Every E-gold deposit will be converted with initial amount you invested.
2. About AlterGold.
Seems AlterGold is gone forever. Very bad. I also decided to keep members which invested via AlterGold by converting AlterGold to LibertyReserve or V-Money or PerfectMoney. Exchange rate is $5 of AlterGold = $1 of LibertyReserve or V-Money or PerfectMoney. All members (with AlterGold account only) must provide other e-currency account on VI profile (LibertyReserve or V-Money or PerfectMoney). Every AlterGold deposit will be converted with initial amount you invested.
Yes, the exchange rates are low, but much better than nothing.
I plan to start the converting process on next week. Now please check your VI profile and provide other e-currency account for converting.
That’s all. P. S. Spend several minutes for us. Post on Forums and Vote on Monitors“.

I would like to give you a warning regarding FxSlaughter. The program seems to have stopped paying a couple of days ago and I have three pendings now. Since the admin of FxSlaughter didn’t reply my email yet and didn’t provide any explanation I have to move the program to “Waiting” status on my monitoring page and warn you not to deposit in this program till further notice.

As you might be aware another program that is experiencing dificulties with payouts right now is GrandEarners. You may remember that the former co-admin of the program Mathew wasn’t aware of the problem and I had to report it to him last night. That was his answer that I have received today:
“I am really sorry for what is going on, I blame myself for starting what I don’t have time to manage, it looks like the problem is not just a hosting problem as I thought, I emailed Joseph just now and waiting for his explanation.”
So I’m still hoping for a positive outcome for GrandEarners investors and will let you know on my blog if I get some more information regarding GrandEarners issues.

Other programs seem to be performing quite well and I received payouts today from MegaLido, MutualForexFund, FastProfitSurf, SilverInvest, ResidualForexIncome, Tradelite, Commoditex, SurfExchange, VolcanoInvest, NoRiskInvestment, AggeroInvestment, GoldNuggetInvest, TopProfitWorld, PanaMoney, InoFund, SafeAtom, BlueBorgartFunds, MaxShare and 8DailyForever.

I would also like to let you know that I joined MajorBarter program today. MajorBarter is a low-ROI HYIP with a great design and licensed GoldCoders script hosted on a dedicated server. MajorBarter program started just two weeks ago but is already gaining popularity among online investors mostly due to an aggressive advertising campaign and sticky topics on major forums. MajorBarter is offering 2.0%-2.4% for 150 days with payouts only on business days. The principal is not returned at the end of your investment term. The majority of e-currencies are accepted by MajorBarter (LibertyReserve, AlertPay, PerfectMoney, V-Money and c-Gold) and quite a low minimum to invest of $7 make it worthwhile to try it out. I will prepare a review of it which will be published here earlier next week.

I would like to wish you a Happy Halloween if you celebrate it tomorrow as next time I will publish the news and updates on Sunday only (if something unexpected doesn’t happen of course). In the course of the next two days you will be provided with two interviews from the program admins which you may be familiar with. But let it be a Halloween surprise for you all and I will not disclose who it will be! So check out my blog tomorrow and I wish you all a very Happy (and scary!) Halloween!
