*) Friday Q&A Webinar
Chris Smith speaking:
Let's get rolling. Please look at the dashboard. We are starting to put some ads in the back office. The reason is that our site should also be able to earn ad revenue to add funds into the system. Also ads will show on the login page.
Click Incentive: We've edited it a little bit. People were using robots to click on the links and not giving the site enough time to be looked at. We have put something in place that does not allow robots. Only actual hits by you.
Articles: We do have software that will immediately detect if you have any text, paragraph etc that is already on the Internet. If you are caught plagurizing you will be banned for life from using article incentive.
Changing 50%/100% - Now you cannot change this percentage until the panel is qualified.
STP payout yesterday. It took longer than anticipated, but did go out. We have alot of positive comments from members. If you haven't received yours you will be on the next run.
Payza is coming up shortly. I hate to give definitive dates. But it will be soon.
Additional provider that we have contacted with for a new payout system. The new provider is aware of all the negative bloggers and have signed off on us and will be with us for a long term solution. We have strong leaders, BB is actually growing. BB is not going anywhere.. So we needed a long term solution for payouts.
Question: With the new reduction in TP bonuses, are people goign to be able to use purely TP's? <My answer is, I hope not. We need to move away from anything that seems to be passive income. The term for that is called "i,n,v,e,s,t,m,e,n,t". Of course, in order to sell investments you must be licensed. So we need to continually upgrade the program so it's less and less passive. That is why we are focusing on new ways to earn traffic.
Feedback and Comments on the dashboard. We want to hear from you.
Referrals are good for you and the company, but you do not have to do that. You can use other methods to earn traffic.
Question: There's a rumor that we said STP was the problem. I want to clear that up. STP has always been good to us and we have no problem. When STP receives our payout list, payouts go out right away. The problem was on the banking side, getting the 7 figure and 8 figure amounts transferred. The last few days STP contacted me and asked if we were saying STP was the problem, and we absolutely have not been saying that, so I wanted to make that clear. We have a very good relationship with STP.
Question: why do we have Google ads? I'm not sure waht you mean. We are not partnered with Google and do not get ads from Google.
Question: Niagara Falls - will BB Millionaire rings be given out? Yes.
Question: Someone saw an ad about a dating site and have complained. We do not allow porn, gambling, but dating sites are allowed. We apologize is any of you are offended by ladies in bikinis on the ads. We are cconstantly filtering the ads to remove any unwanted.
Questions: Panel speed? I will ask our programmer about that and see if anythign has changed on that side.
Most of the questions have been covered already.
I want to leave you with this. I see alot of positive comments in the scroll. We haver a solid team working hard behind the scenes. Sometimes this may be invisible to you guys, but we are doing everying we can to grow and we will be here for a long time. Change is never easy but can be good is it's for the better. We will continue to morph into what we need to be. We are delving more into the advertising side to help you with your marketing efforts.
Have a great weekend!!
