20/01/2011. PositiveSurf Review and Daily News from the Industry

BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM HAS STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DO NOT INVEST!

Hi all! It’s been pretty difficult to avoid noticing a recent upsurge in the surfing side of the online investments industry over the last couple of months and this mini revival has seen for the first time in two years multiple surfing sites monitored by MNO at the same time. The latest of these is a program called PositiveSurf, which is at least a fairly optimistic name. It’s also the newest of the recent crop of surfing websites so hopefully it might prove to be a welcome addition. Fingers crossed anyway but first let’s see what PositiveSurf are offering and what exactly sets them apart from the others.

The first thing you’ll probably want to see is the investment plans but first let me give a brief recap on what exactly joining a surfing site means. It’s probably less necessary to go into a detailed explanation anymore as there are a couple of other surfing sites on my monitoring page where the process is already explained, but basically it’s not an online HYIP. Yes, there are certain similarities in the way the payments work, ie you make an online investment and after a short period hopefully get back more than what you paid, but it’s not the total passive ponzi style operation we see in most HYIPs. If you’re an experienced industry player and already know this then skip ahead, but for those of you as yet unfamiliar with the ways of the autosurf, here you will be required to log into your account with PositiveSurf every day and view a certain number of ads for a certain period of time before then getting paid for your trouble. Of course in addition to you viewing the ads of others as a paid member you are also entitled to advertise your own website if you have one, or indeed your own ref link to some other investment program you might like.

PositiveSurf have two investment plans based on how much you can afford to invest. Their first one is called The Silver Account and carries a very affordable minimum price tag of just $7 and runs for a 12 day cycle. During that time you will be required to log into your account everyday and view 12 paid advertisements for a duration of ten seconds each. The surfing process itself is automatic up to the point when you have viewed ten ads, ie just click the tab in your member’s area that says “view ads” and your computer does the rest for you. Once you have vied ten ads you will then be asked if you wish to continue. Of course if you wish to get paid then yes, you will need to say yes. Continue to view another two ads to fulfill your surfing commitments for the day. In return for this PositiveSurf will reward you with 12% interest on your investment everyday. That will add up to a total return of 144% by the end of the cycle which includes your profit giving you a clear profit of 44%. Please note however that unlike other surfing sites you will not actually be able to withdraw every day, but only at limited intervals. I’ll get to the payment schedule in just a moment but first take a look at the next plan.

To encourage bigger investments PositiveSurf then have The Gold Account. It has many similarities with the previous plan, it runs for 12 days, it requires you to log in and do some surfing every day, and it makes payments at irregular intervals. But for one thing it will cost you a $350 minimum to join. In return however you can earn an increased rate of 12.5% interest per day. This includes your principal and will add up to a total of 150% for your total return. That’s 50% clear profit or 6% better than the previous offer. Surfing requirements are identical to the previous plan by the way, so it’s another 12 sites for ten seconds each. Maximum upgrade is $7,000.

The interesting thing about PositiveSurf is their unique payment schedule that says during the 12 day cycle you have the opportunity to request your withdrawals only 3 to 4 times, depending on the plan. The exact time frame is entirely up to you but it’s important to remember about these withdrawals being limited so it’s a good idea to do it properly. Silver Account members are allowed a total of three withdrawals during the 12 day cycle so for best results I would suggest you request your payout after 4, 8, and 12 days. Gold Account holders have the luxury of 4 withdrawals within a 12 day period so for them I suggest doing so after 3, 6, 9, and 12 days. It’s entirely up to yourself but that’s just a suggestion. Do whatever suits you best but it’s in your own best interests not to leave money accumulate for too long, this being a high risk industry and all. You can also withdraw all your earnings to one single payment processor if you wish, but as your payouts are limited to three to four per cycle you’d be best advised to do so.

There’s an excellent selection of payment processors available with most of the popular ones in use including AlertPay, LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, and SolidTrustPay. Payments are made manually so will need to be requested. You will need to allow the admin up to 48 hours to get your payment processed but do keep in mind that this will not be done at the weekend. Also if you miss a day’s surfing for whatever reason your cycle just gets extended by a day, so you will still have to surf for 12 days though not necessarily 12 consecutive days. Though you hardly need reminding that the faster you complete the process the better.

PositiveSurf is a fairly secure website as well and with hosting on a dedicated Enterprise level server provided by BlackLotus. From their own news page in fact you can see that the first DDoS attacks on them were successfully mitigated by BlackLotus a few days ago so at least you know it’s dependable in that sense. The script was often used by surfing sites in the past and features an optional IP address sensitivity detector so you can be sure no one is trying to access your account from another computer. If you have any questions or support related issues for the admin you can contact PositiveSurf by filling out the support ticketing form on the contacts page. There is also a step by step illustrated guide to joining the program as well so that should prove useful to any readers not that familiar with surfing based sites.

After just two weeks online PositiveSurf have already been stepping up their advertising and promotional campaigns and they seem to be showing some results. Their recently launched referral contest hasn’t done them any harm either and if their own stats are to be believed over 1500 members are already on board. Not a bad result for 13 days in operation and something that’s bound to attract yet more advertisers, “much wants more” as the expression goes. It puts them in a fairly positive starting position and if this current renaissance in the surfing industry continues then hopefully PositiveSurf will be a profitable experience for all of us. The first cycle has already been successfully completed which is always a worthy milestone for any online investment program so I guess that will drum up a bit more notice around the industry too. So not a bad prospect here as long as you remember the usual rules about keep within strict spending guidelines and keeping a diverse portfolio for yourself to protect from heavy losses.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY.

I’m glad to report that the first ever MNO interactive chat that took place last night was an enormous success with so many questions flooding the poor admin of GoldenShoesVentures Grace but at the same time that she had to regrets about agreeing to take part. Grace told me afterwards that she thoroughly enjoyed replying every single questions from MNO readers and after the chat finished she generously rewarded six lucky winners with upgrades into the only plan offered by GoldenShoesVentures – 10% for 15 days – worth $100 total value. I noticed that unlike some other useless chats held by a ponzi-scheme with artificially inflated paid for Alexa ratings but no actual real readers, (that’s right, attended by one admin, two moderators, and zero readers. How embarrassing, lol!) MNO chat proved to be genuinely interactive with so many readers online that it simply exceeded all expectations. I think there were about 40 members logged in at the same time which reminded me of the golden days of PTVPartner when such regular live sessions with the admin were extremely popular with members. Since then I received a lot of requests from readers to make something similar on MNO and since December last year I was looking for the right software to make it possible. After several attempts all the software was rejected by me as not being suitable but finally I came across the right package and the rest you know already.

This is not the end as I’m not going to stop now – I’m planning to upgrade MNO chat to a more extensive version with multiple rooms and with the possibility to share your images and even YouTube videos. So it’s very possible that next week’s sessions will be in a much more professional environment and with more participants. I’m aware that MNO interactive chat sessions might become an extremely popular and useful tool for online investors to communicate with each other, to share their opinions, and ask the admins the questions they like in real time. So I’m looking forward to improving it further for you, guys. I have some requests for next week’s interactive chats already and hopefully we will be able to make them possible with two men named Chris: the admin of DollarCommerce and the recently interviewed on MNO admin from SureFireSurf. And I hope a regular feature will be some cash prizes and other incentives given away to the most active or interesting participants. So be sure to attend those meetings.

By the way, for those who weren’t able to access the latest live chat I have created a special thread on the MNO forum where I will post the full transcripts of the latest conversations so even if you were late or busy and were not able to attend the meetings you can still read. You can click here to see the full transcript of the recent chat with the admin of GoldenShoesVentures (reviewed here) and click here to see the most recent chat with the admin of GorgonProjectInvest (reviewed here).

By the way, after yesterday’s chat Grace is thinking of upgrading the layout of the site to make it look more professional, so I believe not only the members of GoldenShoesVentures found out something new about Grace (and even tested her Swedish language skills!) but also she herself took something useful from the suggestions made by readers which can be implemented on the site.

I’m really delighted to report that after several days without a cash contest on the MNO forum it looks we finally have a new sponsor, guys. And it means you will have the opportunity to earn $5 to your LibertyReserve by answering simple questions. This time the sponsor is UnicornInv (reviewed here) – the program that is growing slowly but paying steadily for over 50 days and offering two perpetual plans of 1% on every business day and 6% weekly. The minimum to invest in UnicornInv is $20 and the deposit can be made via three payment processors – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and SolidTrustPay. I have also sent some questions for the admin and he promised to answer by the beginning of next week. So stay tuned for more information in the upcoming interview on MNO! Meanwhile, enjoy the brand new cash contest on MNO sponsored by UnicornInv (click here to participate and earn some money).

The administration of Stanbec just sent me the answers to my interview with them. The interview will be published tomorrow and I hope it will be useful for you if consider joining one of their investment plans – 2.5% daily forever or 10% daily for 14 days. Stanbec currently accepts deposits via four popular e-currencies (AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney) and after being online for only two weeks managed somehow to climb to the #5 spot on MNO monitoring. And I think it still has some room for further growth. Without any doubt the interview will have some effect on the investors, be it positive or negative, depending on how the investors react to what was said. Will it be the usual lies about the real investments or will we hear a sincere and honest interview? Tune in here to find it out yourselves, guys! Here is the latest update from Stanbec (reviewed here) in which the admin also mentioned the pending interview:
“Welcome to Stanbec Inc today.

I got a very good response for today’s Question and Answer session with the admin of SureFireSurf Chris compiled mostly from questions sent to me by readers and members of SureFireSurf. Most likely Chris will also join MNO Chat next week to answer more questions in a live setting. The day and time is still under discussion but when I get more details I’ll let you know. Apart from mentioning the recent interview published on MNO today (click here to read it) and the review which you can also find on MNO here Chris also reports on the successful advertising sales which form one of the revenue streams for SureFireSurf and encouraged the members to vote for SFS on forums and monitors after they receive their payments. Here is the latest newsletter from SureFireSurf – the program which is paying 10% for 12 days, 144% after 12 days and 8% for 15 days for over 80 days already:
“Hello. I hope you are doing great. Here is yet another e-mail newsletter from SureFireSurf. In the past newsletters, I asked you to send questions that you may have for me that you wanted me to answer in the interview of Money-News-Online blog with me. I was interviewed by Paul Abramson of Money-News-Online and the interview has been published today at the Money-News-Online blog. Here is a link to that interview: http://money-news-online.com/blog/2011/01/20/20012011-qa-session-with-the-admin-of-surefiresurf/
Take note that some questions were sent in by some SureFireSurf members and I answered them there. I hope that you are satisfied with my answers. I simply answered them straight from within. No editing, FYI. Just straight to the point answers. I really do hope that you appreciate the interview answers that I sent to Paul.

Another update I want to include in this newsletter is that, we have sold some advertisements again this week and everything is doing great with our advertisement services.

Thank you for your time reading this message from me. Have a wonderful day fellas!
Your SFS Admin, Christopher Linton”.

I found some news on the website of ReProFinance (reviewed here) which gave official confirmation to news already reported by me earlier. First was the redesign of the site and the second was the addition of AlertPay to the already accepted LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. I just wanted to remind you that ReProFinance has reached #8 on MNO monitoring by paying for over 7 months and it offers two investment plans with different variations -0.8%-1.5% for 90 business days, and 0.9%-1.9% for 180 business days with the principal returned on expiry. These are the two messages in the finally updated news section of the website:
“ReProFinance reveals its new image to customers
Dear investors!
We have redesigned our project and moved into a new level of work with clients worldwide.
Useful changes, improved website navigation, and other features have made the website of our project really convenient and professional investment tool for any investor.”
“New account loading opportunities with AlertPay
Dear Investors!
Now all holders of AlertPay e-currency have got an opportunity to load their accounts and make investment deposits. We plan to continue developing and expanding our account loading options to make use of our investment service more comfortable.”

Unfortunately, even the long payment history and perfect track record for several months couldn’t save such a popular program as PandaTrade as well as its less known counterpart FenixTrust from collapse. As I already reported on my blog last night the programs stopped instant payouts almost at the same time and joined the casualty list along with YamaFinance. These synchronized collapses look very suspicious to me and considering that the websites have a lot in common – unique scripts, instant payments to LR and PM and hosting with Dragonara I tend to believe that they might be somehow connected and even run by the same administration. It’s only speculation of course and such sudden a collapse at the same time preceded by announcing the 17th of January a non-trading day. On the following day the instant payouts were simply not resumed. This is a very interesting coincidence (if it’s a coincidence) and nobody knows what actually happened to the programs’ administration because (as usually happens) they stopped answering emails. I think there is almost no way they will be back to normal. I can’t help but notice that all three programs (PandaTrade, YamaFinance and FenixTrust) were of a very high standard and very well organized. I had no complaints about their payments till now and most of the investors who were in them from the beginning and invested wisely managed to be in good profits. Well, I will definitely look forward to more quality low-ROI programs in the coming year as I’m sure there will be many of them for sure.

I have been paid today by the following programs:
PositiveSurf (the first payment received), SureFireSurf, FxEconomy, BetBankFund, Stanbec, PrestigRev, ECashBroker, DollarCommerce, AllianceAdvantage, UnicornInv, 144CashAds, MutualTreaty, GainBucks, OilCapital, AmilloTrade, AccessTomorrow, FondosMayores, IncomeLadder, ReProFinance, FutureTrails, Escaliva, RevenueBuild, EasyCashGrowth, GoldenShoesVentures, GorgonProjectInvest, and ExtraIncome (the first payments received).

That’s it for today, guys. Stay tuned for the interview with Stanbec‘s admin tomorrow followed by the ExtraIncome review and the latest news from the industry. I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading MNO on a daily basis because I’m working hard for you, guys.
