You need to login to all 'Account' and 'Profile' sections regularly...timespans vary..
...just to let them know you're still alive and actively participating in their program!
Just remember, when you're setup you need to access Startblaze and a number of other programs regularly or you could get cut off. Most will reactivate your account if that happens and you request it. When you access your account, check all your profiles and website details to make sure nothing has changed. Also check Rules, Referral Bonuses, Surf Times and the rates for click credits for any changes.
TrafficJumbo is a bit different to the other surf programs and they have their own section further down this page.

BroadPage MultiBrowser
This web browser lets you display several web pages in a single window. There are several layouts available and you can save any
combination of URLs as individual layouts. The layouts can be of various styles.
If you want a layout for 6 panels to hold your surf URLs, go to the top toolbar and click on the "close all panels" logo. It looks like a parcel tied with ribbon. This will bring up a blank full screen panel.
Then go to the "open new panel logo" which looks like an envelope with the top right corner bent over.
Click on this five times to add 5 panels to the original panel.
Then click "Arrange" and click on your choice of layout to give you your 6 panels.
Next, insert the URLs from your start page programs, one at a time, into the address bars. Make sure to check your URL's are correct
with YOUR start codes.
After you enter each start page URL, hit "enter". This activates the URLs and you must do this before saving the layout.
Then click on "Layouts" in the menu bar at the top of the page , followed by "Save Current Layout" in the drop-down menu. Call it something you will remember and be able to identify it by.
The name of the layout you just saved will appear on the drop-down menu under "Layouts" in the top menu bar.
There is another menu bar on the left which you can open, resize and close by clicking on the dot and arrows in the bottom left on
the taskbar.
Panels can be resized by dragging and dropping
the top, bottom, left or right frame bars. You can also maximize and restore each individual panel.
After setting your layouts, every time you start BroadPage you just click on "Layouts" to select your layout or get it from the menu bar on the left.
Close the left menu bar before surfing to gain maximum panel size.
Wait for the pages to finish loading and you're ready to roll.
The number of windows you use will be governed by the speed of your connection and the ability of your PC. Six pages may be too much. Some people can comfortably surf eight. You'll just have to try it and do whatever you and your computer are happy with. My own preference is to use a maximum of 6 horizontal windows so that I can keep an eye on the full address bar.
BroadPage has a built-in popup killer. Click on "Options" in the top menu bar, then on "Popups" in the drop-down menu.
KillAd does not work in conjunction with Broadpage.
If you don't have BroadPage and want to try it, you can get it FREE from
http://www.broadpage.com
Hints and Tips
If your computer is slow you might find 4 startpages is enough for it to handle.
When things start to go very slowly, DONT surf too fast.
Be patient, give the pages time to load or you will crash.
You will have to enlarge the window for TrafficG occasionally in order to see the surf button. Restore it and the surf button remains in view until it decides to move again.
You will likely get 'script error' messages popping up. Just hit 'yes' or 'no' to get rid of it. It doesn't seem to matter which and nothing changes. Be warned, they can come thick and fast sometimes. I have not been able to find a way of preventing it.
Very occasionally a startpage from another program creeps into the wrong window or just seems to appear. Most times it goes back to normal but don't allow 2 of the same URL to show at the same time. Either quit one or use the down arrow on the address bar or the back arrow to restore the correct URL.
Some sites require a login before you can start surfing. Enlarge the window, login, switch on the surf facility and shrink it
back down again.

Browser Windows
To reduce the size of your browser window, launch IntExplorer.
Put your mouse pointer in any corner or on any edge of the
window and it changes into a double-headed arrow.
Hold down the left mouse button and drag the window to
the required size by compressing it in height and width.
Put your mouse pointer in the top Title bar, hold down left
mouse button and drag the window to where you want it.
Launch another browser to repeat the above process until you have the
required number of browsers on your desktop.
If you find the mouse pointer does not change into a
double-headed arrow, go to the Task bar and do a right click
on the browser icon.
In the popup menu select "Size" and your mouse pointer will
change into a four-headed arrow.
Take that to the corner of the
window and it changes into a double-headed arrow.
Now you can follow the instructions given above.
I resize my windows to roughly half the width of the screen.
Drag that window to the top left of the screen and make it about 50mm deep.
Do the same with your other windows and park them alongside and below the first.
This way you can get 4 or 6 on the screen easily.
Some programs need long windows, so I use 3 of those instead of 4 oblong ones.
My monitor will only take 3 long ones comfortably.
If I use 4, which can be done, I can't see what's going on in
all of them. Important messages sometimes come up from
click exchange companies and you must be able to see them.
Keep your eye on the address bars as you surf to make sure
they have your ID in them each time you click. With some of these programs the details in the address bar will change as the browser locates the site you are surfing.
This is OK as it will change back to your ID after you click.
If you see another ID and it doesn't change back to your own after a couple of clicks you should follow the instructions given
in the later notes on Surfing Interruptions

Clicks4U
This is a traffic program with a difference. It involves guessing the quality of websites on a scale of 5, Poor to Great. Correct guesses are rewarded by activating 1 of 30 tickets for a daily Lottery draw. Random prizes are awarded in the form of Banner or Traffic credits for correct guesses on some sites. Lottery prizes are in the form of Traffic credits and are awarded for 1, 2 or 3 correct numbers on a 3 number ticket. Numbers can be random selection or you can choose your own.
All credits are accumulated in your account and Traffic credits can be auctioned for cash in a daily auction. These must be in blocks of 100 credits. The rate varies daily but is usually in the region of $0.70 to $0.90 ($7 to $9 per thousand). At the same time they expect you to pay $9.95 for 300 credits which they say will give 600 hits. Now that's what I call a good deal.....for them, not for us. As far as I can tell, the best way seems to be to store up your Traffic credits. That way you get a decent amount of traffic to your site, rather than using the Traffic credits as they are earned. You can "spend" them in the "Trades" section where you can also buy Traffic credits. The price is $24.95 for 1500 credits (=3000 hits) which happens to be the same as 1 month membership.
Banner credits can only be used by Executive or PRO members and 1 month membership costs $24.95 or you can trade in 1500 Traffic credits. What initially confused me was in the "Trades" section where Traffic credits are only referred to as Credits in the Trade box.
So, that's what it's all about.....now how does it work?
After you register and complete the usual details, login to the members' page. Select the tab "Win Credits" and you get a screen with 30 Lottery tickets. Click on the first (or any?) ticket to activate it. The fresh screen pops up with the first website to be evaluated. After it loads you have time to look it over before being asked to judge it. Your chosen answer may or may not be in keeping with what they call the "Popular Guess". If it is, you win.....if it ain't, you lose.
If you think it's worth staying (or if you have the time), activate another website when asked. When all 30 tickets are activated, that's it for the day. If this has been your first time and you activate all the tickets they pay $5 to your account.
Sadly they only pay this the first time you activate all the tickets.
What are the results likely to be? Like everything else, it depends largely on the degree of participation. After 8 weeks of almost daily working the system I accumulated 20,000 Banner credits. Weekly totals have been between 1040 and 5200. Traffic credits are 816 and when I have 1500 I will trade them for 1 month Executive membership. Then I will be able to trade my Banner credits for Banner impressions.
That way the program gets tested at no cash outlay.....only time. Banner credits must be used within 10 weeks or they are lost. How these credits are reflected in the site logs will determine whether or not I continue to use this system to any large degree.
That's the only way I can see FD getting exposure through this program. Either buy the exposure, use the Traffic credits in decent size blocks, buy the membership to use the Banner credits or trade Traffic Credits for membership in order to use the Banner credits gained from Lottery.

Computer Crashes.
What do you do when your PC crashes? What causes it?
How does a PC crash manifest itself?
So many questions and just as many answers.
These are two of the common ones.
1. Everything just stops. The screen freezes. You've got a picture but no sound. All you can hear is the sound of the fan. You can hear the fan, can't you? If not, that's another problem requiring a solution that's not offered here.
2. Your PC screen goes black, text flashes up so fast you don't get chance to read it. Then the screen goes blue with some more text that you probably won't understand, even if it stays long enough to be read. And then you're told to hit any key to continue.
Ever had one of those?
Even after doing what you're told, either nothing happens or you get a black screen giving you yet another message you probably won't
understand concerning some fault or other.
Ain't life fun in cyberspace?
Don't worry about it. Neither of the above is unusual behaviour for a PC!! It's what's known as a crash.
Both can be dealt with in the same way. Try to reboot by holding down both the Ctrl key and Alt key and then hitting Delete...do it twice.
If this doesn't work, and it doesn't always, the only thing to do is just turn the PC off. Wait for a few seconds and when it comes back on again it'll be OK.(hopefully)
Common causes are:
1. The processor is overheating due to the fan being stuck or broken, or insufficient ventilation.
2. You're surfing too fast so slow down. Wait until one site has loaded before clicking on the next one.
3. There's a bug in the system. Try housecall antivirus for an online virus scan. Always assuming you will eventually get back online.
4. System's clogged up with rubbish from all that clicking you've been doing. Run a full maintenance check, empty the Recycle Bin, clear the History folder and delete cookies
5. Maybe your PC is losing its memory. What if it could be re-charged?
What if you could set a danger level that kicks your PC in gear to recover spare memory when a critical level is reached?
Try using MaxMem. Click to download and give it a try.
Or you might fancy clicking here to download and try Mem Turbo.

CrazyBrowser
You have read, in the section above, about BroadPage. Some people are happy with it and many are happier with this alternative. Download for FREE from
http://www.crazybrowser.com
Benefits of CrazyBrowser over BroadPage
NO separate windows. Load as many pages as you like in a single window with each as a full page view on a separate Tab. Much better than fiddling with multiple windows. No resizing to make the windows fit your monitor screen. No layouts to mess with as in BroadPage. Click the tab, click for credit then repeat for the next tab. Complete the cycle and start over.
Exchange owners don't like the use of multiple minimized windows for obvious reasons. CrazyBrowser allows full page views. This is great because some programs give warnings, some give rewards. You can't see either when using small windows and could end up in trouble or miss bonuses. WebMasterQuest and others give quite regular bonus points. Also, there's that difficult Mensa test on FastFreeway.
There are also programs that move the surf bar around or only allow full page views.
Personal Opinion
I find CrazyBrowser to be smoother and much less trouble than BroadPage.
Highly recommended.
What it is and how to use it.
Without going into all the technical stuff which you can read for yourself when you get it, I'll just cover the basics for getting the thing set up.
CrazyBrowser is a powerful web browser and can be used just like any other browser. But it can do much more than a normal browser for traffic generation.
Crazy Browser has the ability to open multiple sites and windows inside a single browser framework by the use of tabs. It also has a Smart Inbuilt Popup Filter to block annoying popups automatically.
It works with Windows XP and has P3P privacy policy and handles JavaScript error suppression. It can handle multiple monitors and has tab status indicators. Annoying ad windows can be removed automatically and multiple pages can be saved in groups and reopened together.
That's what it does. Here's how you set it up.
Download from the link given above and save to disc. If you don't know how to do that, see the section on "Downloading Files And Applications". I suggest saving it to your "Accessories" folder and putting a shortcut on your desktop.
Double-click your desktop icon to launch CrazyBrowser. It loads and asks if you want it set as default. Suggest you answer "No" for the time being.
You will notice there is a blank browser page in front of you. Paste into the address bar the surf URL for the first program and hit "Return" or click the green arrow to the right of the address bar. This loads your first page.
Copy the surf URL for your second program and right click within the address bar to hilite the existing address from URL #1. Don't worry about the first page still being live. This is the way it works. Right click within the address bar to paste your second program URL into the address bar. Hit "Return" or click the green arrow as before. A new tab appears behind the previous page when the new page loads.
This will happen with each subsequent page. To see the pages and click for credits you have to click on each tab in sequence as you navigate along the row of tabs.
Repeat the procedure for as many URLs as you wish to use. Six is a convenient number, although the ability is there to greatly exceed that number. If you load more than six you will need to use the arrows at the end of the tabs bar to shuffle them along. Otherwise you will not be able to open the pages and click for credits.
When you have your chosen number of pages loaded you can click on "Groups" in the menu bar. In the dropdown menu there is an option to save these pages as a Group. You will be asked to give the Group a name. Keep it simple and memorable as you will likely be setting up several Groups. There is an option to "Organize Groups" where you can rename them, rearrange the order of pages within a Group, add a page to, or delete a page from, a Group.
If you have a sticky page while using the system you can use the "Back" arrow as normal. If a page has broken the frame and you need to exit that particular page, just double-click on the tab to close it.
If you load too many pages you will find when you get to the last page, that the tab for the first page has "dropped off the left hand end". To get back to the first page at the end of each cycle use the pair of arrows to the right of the "Tabs" bar. The left arrow moves all the pages to the right in one mass. The right arrow moves them to the left. This way you can shunt the pages to get either end back into view.
Popup filter is activated by going to "Options", then "Advanced Options" from the dropdown menu, then select "Popup Filter". KillAd or any other popup killer is not necessary with the built-in killer activated and KillAd will not work in conjunction with CrazyBrowser's own Popup filter.
Another tip when you first access CrazyBrowser is to go to Options, then select "Advanced Options" and then click on "Browser Tabs". Check the box for "Close tabs on double click" if it's not already checked. This is handy for when you get extra pages loading. These will probably be frame-breakers. It appears CrazyBrowser does not treat frame-breakers as popups.
After you finish with CrazyBrowser and before you close it down, go to the menu bar and select "Tools". From the dropdown menu select "Clear History".
Then click on "Temporary Internet Files".
After they have cleared, go back over the same path and click on "Cookies".
This will stop your PC accumulating unwanted garbage.
This covers all I can think of to get you up and running. Play around with the items on the top menu bar. They are all quite straight forward. If there are any points that are not clear or if there is something you think should be added, please mail me.
Meanwhile.....enjoy. I think you'll like this CrazyBrowser.

Downloading Files And Applications
Files and eBooks.
Downloading files and eBooks is straight forward. All you have to do is
click on "Download". When asked if you want to open it or save it to disk, click whichever option is appropriate. If you click on "Open" it does just that and when you close the file or book you no longer have it. If you want to save it, click on "Save".
You will then get a "Save As" window where you select the location for
where you want to save it.
Beside the address bar for the "Save In" window you need to
navigate by way of the arrow to the right of the address bar
until you arrive at the location for your storage and access of the file or book.
You might want to save it to your desktop. If so, click the Desktop icon to the right of the address bar. A window will open with all the desktop icons on display. If you want to save it as a stand-alone item, just click "Save". You might want to put it in an existing folder. If so, double-click the required Folder icon and then click "Save".
If you want to create a special folder for it, click the Folder icon to the right of the address bar window next to the Desktop icon.
This will create a "New Folder" icon on your desktop.
Give the new folder a name and double-click the folder icon to take it to the "Save In" section of the address bar. Click "Save".
You will be told when download is complete. If you want to access it immediately, click on "Open", otherwise click on "Close" and access it whenever you choose.
If you saved it to your Desktop you will get an icon on your screen when download is done.
Double click on the icon with your left mouse button whenever
you want to access the file or book.
You might need to be connected to the 'Net for that.
Programs and Applications.
When you find a program or application that you want to download, just
click on "Download". Sometimes you may be offered several options of
download sites.
Click on any one of those links.
When asked if you want to open it or save it to disk, click "Save".
You will then get a "Save As" window where you select the location for

HomePage...To Set or Not To Set?
A lot of the programs say that you have to configure your browser so that their start page will be selected when you open the browser. If you are following MPAM and using the rotate.html
program you do not have to do this.
Make sure to keep a log of all the login URLs, the surf/startpage URLs and the referral URLs. As well as keeping these in a text file, I keep a copy in MS Word as it makes them all "active" links.
It takes a while for Word to load but if you're going to be accessing a few URLs it saves time on all the copy and paste.
Some programs tell you to set their site as homepage but they don't display the URL text. Look for a link to "Codes" on the signup page and get your codes from there. Failing that, set your homepage as instructed to get the link text, then copy it and file it before resetting your homepage to whatever you want.
Personal Opinion and Preferred Homepage Setting
TrafficSwarm works differently to the other traffic exchanges and gives average of 3 credits per click. It displays a page of multiple text ads when you load your browser and each ad gives a credit of 1 to 5. This gives you an advance notice of what the page contains behind the ad.
You can click on all the ads in sequence after the timer runs down and build up credits to place your own ads. A good ad will pull a decent response rate.
Some people are content to just get the extra credit for opening their browser and clicking the one ad before moving on. The choice is yours. There's a more detailed account on TrafficSwarm elsewhere within this site.

Maintenance
How often do you carry out system maintenance?
When was the last time you did a "Defrag"?
Defrag should be done regularly as it puts everything back into its proper place on your drives.
With things being added and deleted, the drives get in a muddle and "defrag" tidies it all up and restores performance to optimum level.
If you want to see how mucked up things become (and you've got 3 hours to waste) sit and watch the "defrag" in operation.
All the white space represents *holes* in the filing system. "Defrag" repairs the holes by re-shuffling.
I do a complete Maintenance routine every week.
If it's been a while since you did one, go to Start...Programs...Accessories...System Tools.
Select Maintenance Wizard and follow the simple instructions, but be warned......it takes a fair time.
Mine takes about 3 hours and I run it when I go to bed.
Time taken will depend on the size of your drive(s).
All the above is routine stuff which I've done many times and you should do a complete Maintenance routine every week.
If you're nervous about doing this, check out the tutorial when you Click Here for The Newbie Club. My PC is set up to defragment its hard drive, check for new email and launch programs automatically. I used the Newbie Club tutorial to do it. It was simple, easy to understand, and really frees up your time for more productive activities.

Popup Killers
You would be well advised to get yourself a popup killer, otherwise you will get blasted with popups. You will be glad you got KillAd. It's FREE and available from
http://wwwwin.wplus.net/pp/fsc/
Save it on your Desktop. Double click to open the folder and double click to launch.
Nothing seems to happen but when you check the bottom of your monitor, you'll find it beside the clock in the corner. Right click for the menu to create/edit your own choice of URLs to be killed, also to set size of browsers for killing. Manual entry of pops to kill, or allow, is available. It's a mammoth task trying to enter a kill list manually when operating in Standard mode, so Terminator is the way to go.
Right click the icon on the taskbar and select Terminator mode. That will kill everything. You must disable it if you want to open another browser, do an email or open something from your desktop.
To do this, you need to set KillAd to Watch mode and reset it back to Kill when you're ready to resume surfing.
You can disable KillAd in two ways. Either, right click and set it to Watch, or double click to set it to Watch. Double click is easier for disabling and resetting.You might still find a few pops but nothing significant. Overall, you should not get any real problem with KillAd and Terminator mode is the best way to use it.
Alternatives
There is a little NoAds program tucked into the MPAM setup program.
It's in the Extra Hits section just before the banner for MassiveHits4U

Or try Tootoo.com FREE download
Q: Ever since I downloaded Tooto's Pop-up Killer, some parts of my favorite websites aren't working. Did I do something wrong, or is Tooto's Pop-up Killer causing more problems than it is solving?
A: No, you did nothing wrong, and no, Tooto's Pop-up Killer is not destroying your computer. Some websites use pop-up windows for legitimate functions; good examples are many WebMail sites. Since Pop-up Killer literally eliminates all pop-ups, it is possible that certain parts of websites using pop-ups--even ones that actually serve a useful purpose--are affected. Fortunately, Pop-up Killer can be easily turned on and off at any time. Simply right-click on the Pop-up Killer icon located on the bottom-right-hand corner of your screen (it will look like a green circle with a red slash through it). When the menu comes up, select "Pop-up Windows--Allow" while you are using a website that needs pop-ups to work properly. When you are done with that site, simply go back into that same menu and select "Disallow."

Rotators.
There is a difference between the eBiz Rotator from MPAM Lesson 1 and rotate.htm and expanded_rotate from Lessons 3 & 5, which are Java code.
Some people are getting the two of them mixed up.
What's the difference?
The eBizRotator from MPAM Lesson 1 automatically rotates your MPAM page and the Free-Downlines page, and it rotates them evenly.
The rotate.htm page is java code. It rotates your startpages but is not automatic. This code is free. To make it automatic could be expensive unless we have a Team member to do it for ourselves.
Expanded_rotate.htm is at the end of MPAM lesson 5, complete with instructions.
rotate.html
To prepare either/both the javascripts, copy the whole script into Notepad, from html to /html (don't forget the brackets).
Enter your IDs without any spaces at either end.
Save this Notepad file as rotate.html (and later Expanded_rotate.htm) and save to your desktop.
Open your Desktop and double click the icon for rotate.html or the expanded version. When your browser opens, go to Tools/Internet Options/General.
In the homepage area, there is an address field for your default homepge.
Click where it says "Use Current".
You could do it another way.
Highlite the current address in the address field and replace it with your new rotate address.
This should be C:\Windows\Desktop\rotate.html
If you don't like long path names, create a folder on C drive and call it Rotate. Save your file in this folder and put a shortcut on the desktop. Your file name is now C:\Rotate\rotate.html
Whichever way you choose, click on "Apply" then click OK.
You can now automatically run your rotate file as your default home page.
After changing your default homepage, if you click "Home" or the IE logo and get a warning " Can't find file ... ", or you're taken to www.msn.com, you need to check the path to the file.
Operating systems vary in the way they list the path.
The easy way to find the path is to do a search. Click on
Start/Find/Files.
Then enter "rotate.html" in the search box and tell the PC to find it.
When found, you can copy the exact path and paste it in the home page
address section of the Internet Options page.
Once the rotate.html is set as your start page, you only have to open your Internet browser once. Every time you open your browser you should get a different startpage. Sometimes the same program comes back on.
Don't worry about it...they're all hits.
When you're ready to move on to another program just click on 'Home' or the little house icon in your Browser bar.
Don't click on that 'x' to close it all down. It's not necessary.
To get your hits for any particular program you have to keep clicking.
Some you have to be logged in to. Just log in and click for a while. These include EzHits4U, Clixswap and iLoveClicks.
They are in the Extra Hits section with AskMiky and Clicks4u, both of which are different to the other click programs.
TrafficJumbo is different. See seperate note.

eBizRotator
To test your eBizRotator, go to it and go to the top bar.
Click on "My next ebiz" in the top right hand corner and the next page will load. Hopefully if you do it 5 times you will have your MPAM come up 3 times and the FD page twice!
The Pro Rotator has 15 slots and the Coop Rotator has 40 slots for websites.
The Coop has to have 15 URLs (minimum) entered or it won't work properly.
Coop pages show without the eBiz graphics top and bottom, so all of the pages you show are viewed just as they are meant to be viewed. Whilst some might prefer this, don't forget the potential revenue you are missing by not promoting your Rotator while you are promoting your other business.
Check your rotator once in a while to make sure it's OK. You should only have to update your FREE rotator if you change any of the URLs. As we're only interested in MPAM for the long term and Free-Downlines for the immediate future, it would make sense to set it and forget it.
Follow the MPAM guide so that slot numbers 1,3 and 5 have your MPAM link. Slots 2 and 4 should have the special link for Free-Downlines start pages.
Whilst I'm all in favour of keeping things as simple and as cheap as possible,
it's a matter of personal choice whether or not you go for the Pro paid Rotator. Something to consider as you see your downline growing.

Rotator Downtime and Errors.
We use our eBizRotators so we can keep an eye on our own
progress and make sure the hits we click in order to get traffic
are being passed and rotating our sites.
That's why you MUST go to your Rotator BEFORE doing your clicking session to make sure there is a target for the credits to hit. While you are there you should login and check your latest total for
hits received by the Rotator. You will find that in your Members' Area at the foot of the page where you enter/edit your URLs.
If the Rotator is out of action you have 3 choices.
- Go to NoMoreHits and ClickSilo and change the target URL
to point at a specific target. That way you
can carry on clicking with NoMoreHits and ClickSilo ONLY
and credits will get through to your chosen target. I suggest NoMoreHits and ClickSilo because they are 2 of the best traffic exchanges. They both have high traffic volume, give good rates of exchange, are short surf time, smooth to operate and pass credits quickly.
Now......is that a good recommendation or what?
- Alter your site status at NoMoreHits and ClickSilo to put your Rotator on "Hold" or "Inactive". Then you can continue clicking on
NoMoreHits and ClickSilo ONLY. Credits will accumulate and will get used when the Rotator is back online and after you Re-activate your target URLs at NMH and ClickSilo or change them back to the Rotator URL.
- Do nothing and waste a day's clicking credits.
Personal choice would be Option #1.
Second choice would be Option #2.
Only comment required on Option #3 ..... No Comment.
I know Options #1 and #2 are a pain but it's easy to do and
does not take long to nip in and change them or to nip in
when ready and change them back again.
In theory, and because some exchanges do not pass credit when earned,
(they let them trickle through even when you are not
clicking or even online)
ALL exchanges that point at your Rotator SHOULD be put on hold until your Rotator is back online.
That way NO credits are wasted by being used on a target
that temporarily does not exist.
There is another way to get around the problem. On a previous occasion when eBizRotator went wobbly, Michael Russell created this URL to cater for it.
This is a live link to my Rotator. Click it and you get my Rotator page if everything is online. Should the Rotator be out of action my MPAM page will display instead. Copy and paste this to your URLs file. Don't forget to change the ID to your own.
http://rotator.10000hits.net/default.asp?userid=161505
This will display your MPAM page IF and WHEN the eBizRotator goes haywire.
Don't forget...this is the URL to use for promoting your MPAM page on traffic exchanges that do NOT allow popups.
http://10000hits.net/promo/toc.asp?userid=YOURid
And this is the URL for the standard MPAM page where popups are not an issue.
http://10000hits.net/promo/introduction.asp?userid=YOURid
One other thing.
Don't forget to empty the Temporary Internet Files
before logging off the Internet.
- Go to your browser menu bar and select "Tools"
- Select "Internet Options" from the dropdown menu
- Find the section for "Temporary Internet Files"
- Click on "Delete Files".
- Click OK when asked and click again on OK when finished.
You will know when the job is finished because you will either get a confirmation message or the appearance of your mouse pointer will change. In IE6 it changes from an arrow to an hour glass when it starts and reverts to an arrow when finished.

Surfing Interruptions
It's not unusual to experience interruptions when surfing for traffic credits.
Browsers get taken over with strange URLs or different user IDs.
Sometimes you don't realise anything's happened, other times things just stop.
This can happen in many surf programs, so whichever one you use, be sure to keep an eye on your browser address bar. MAKE SURE IT IS YOUR LINK.
Don't ask me how they do it but dishonest people with technical savvy can replace your valid link with their illegal one. Although there's no money involved, this activity amounts to nothing less than theft. These low-lifes are stealing your time and your traffic credits. All the time you're clicking away, oblivious to what's going on, you're giving hits to somebody else and getting nothing.
Some people use pages that break frames. Others load their pages with popups. This is not supposed to happen. Site owners don't want it. We don't want it. Instead of using your back button to replace your URL in the address bar, or clicking on the down arrow to replace your URL, do the proper thing. REPORT IT.
Site owners provide a report button on the site for this purpose. Cheats who break the rules are removed. If you report the offending site, highlight and copy the link for the email report. If you use your back button or click the down arrow to replace your URL, you will lose the link when you replace it with yours.
If you choose to reset without reporting and the program has a counter,
like ClickSilo, it might reset to Zero. Your account will still have been
credited for the clicks you already made before the switch.
This could be a technical problem or it might be someone trying to steal credits.
If you have the details of what happened you should notify the program owners.
You never know.....they might be grateful and give you a bonus for telling them.
This problem is currently being investigated. For the time being, keep a close eye on your URL and your MPAM accounts as you click. If these things happen to you, report it immediately to Michael Russell via email at mgr@mgrcentral.com.
Q: What should I do if any of my click programs don't work?
A: Friend...this is the Internet...these things happen!!
Carry on working with those programs that do work.
The others will probably be up again shortly.
If *everything* goes phut, go get a coffee or come back in an hour.
You deserve a break. You've been busy, haven't you?
.....at least, I hope you have!!

Traffic Exchanges
When you sign up for surf programs they will send you emails with 3 URLs for each program as follows:
Startpage (surfpage) URL--if they say to set this as your homepage...DON'T because we shall be joining many programs and deal with them in a different way.
Referral URL...this is what you give to other people so they sign up under you as you have joined under me or somone else.
Login URL.....this is where you login to your account which you need to do weekly with some programs.
The emails will tell you what to do next. Do what they say and save the emails in a folder on your hard drive. Call the folder "Surf Progs" and put the emails in it.
After reading each email and doing what is required, click on "File" at top of page.....then click on "Save As" from the dropdown menu.
Click the downward facing arrow to the right of the "Save in" box if there is "My Documents" or anything other than "Drive C" in the "Save in" box.
Select "Drive C" from the menu presented to you unless it is already in the "Save in" box.
In the next window that opens, "Drive C" will be in the "Save in" box.
Click the "Folder" icon to create a new folder.
The new folder will be shown hilited and you just type "Surf Progs" straight into the hilited new folder strip.
Double click on your new "Surf Progs" folder and you will then see it appear in the "Save in" box at the top.
At the bottom of the window there's a box for "File name". That is where the "Subject" line of the incoming email is automatically pre-printed. Usually this is "Welcome to------" but can be longer. It's best if you keep it short.
You only need type sufficient to be able to identify it at a later stage if necessary.
Call it what you like and click on "Save".
If your confirmation emails arrive at the same time, when you go to save them you will find that, after the first one has been saved, the subsequent
"Save in" boxes will have the "Surf Progs" folder already waiting and ready.
Check to make sure, rename if necessary and hit "Save".
I suggest you create a new folder on your desktop and call it "Traffic".
The tidiest way to keep this information in order and easy to find is to create 3 text files...one for each category.
To do this you need to open "Notepad" 3 times. Call them Startpage.txt--Referral.txt--Login.txt
Then copy the URLs from each email and paste them into their respective Notepad text files.
This is how you do it:
Double click on Notepad to open it. You will get a blank page.
Click on "File" at the top left.
Click on "Save As" from the dropdown menu.
Click the downward facing arrow to the right of the "Save in" box if there is "My Documents" in the "Save in" box.
Select "Desktop" from the menu presented to you or you can click the "Desktop" icon.
The next window that opens will show all the icons from your desktop. Click the "Folder" icon to create a new folder.
The new folder will be shown hilited and you just type "Traffic" straight into the hilited new folder strip.
Double click on your new "Traffic" folder and you will then see it appear in the "Save in" box at the top.
At the bottom of the window there's a box for "File name"
That is where you type "Login", "Startpage" or "Referral" for each of the new files you are about to create.
Hit "Save" and the job's done.
The documents you have just saved are empty documents or files and will still be open on your desktop.
Now you can go to each email in turn and copy the details, one at a time, and paste them into the empty Notepads.
When you have all 5 of each type in each of the 3 folders you must click on "File" and then click on "Save".
Do this for each of the 3 when you have completed them.
Before you close them I suggest you retrieve your "Welcome" email from any other surf programs you may have previously joined and extract the 3 URLs by copying them one at a time and pasting them into the respective text files. After you have done this you can close all 3 files.
Congratulations, only another 2 dozen or more to go!!

Welcoming A New Member
This is provided, by request, as a guide for the wording of a Welcome letter to a new referral. Whatever business or program you're working, it's essential to be sure of the instructions if you are providing them and that you make them clear. If you are new and not too sure, it's better to be honest and say so. THEN - find the information, pass it on... and you might have a friend for life!
Do NOT use this for MPAM without first checking the facts.
Good Morning, **NAME**
**NAME**, this should have come to you last week, straight after you joined.
When I get real clever I'll have an autoresponder take care of it for me.
Better still....by that time I will be better organised.
Can't beat the personal touch, eh?
Read this and save it to use for welcoming your referrals when needed.....
like next month...or sooner!!
Hello **NAME**,
Welcome to the Massive Passive Advertising Machine (MPAM for short).
Or should I say "Welcome to the 10,000 Hits family"!
It's good to have you with us in this brilliant program.
My name is **Insert YOUR name**, I'm your upline sponsor.
Thank you for signing up for the free website.
Apologies for not getting in touch sooner, unavoidable I'm afraid.
As your sponsor in this program, I am only an email away.
I will be happy to assist you if you have any problems.
Setting up your MPAM page correctly is CRITICAL for your success.
Please don't take this lightly.
Give yourself a solid weekend to study each lesson and join the programs.
The 10,000 hits program (MPAM) is FREE but requires some
old-fashioned "elbow grease" to set it all up.
We have all made that commitment to the program.....and to each other.
Because we have never had contact before, I don't know your
level of experience on the computer or online.
If anything I've written seems like I'm talking down to you,
please understand that is not the case.
I always think if you tell people *everything* they need to know,
as if they were just starting, nothing gets missed.
I'd like to encourage you to sign up for as many programs as you can
within the MPAM system.
Especially TrafficSwarm, a particularly good program.
All the programs are free. Upgrading later is optional.
Make sure one of the first things you do is sign up for the Mailer.
Here is the link if you wish to do this now:
**Insert YOUR referral URL here so they join under you**
Your individual mailing list will be one of your greatest assets in this program.
I have noticed a few members who are missing this "all important step".
In 12 months, they will be in tears when they realize this!
Remember that after you sign up for each program you must
go back to your own MPAM site and enter your IDs.
Your MPAM site is where you access your MPAM page to add
all of your affiliate codes from each program you join.
Just click on "Admin"...scroll down the Admin page...
enter your ID against the program name... then update your site.
You'll find the Update button right at the foot of the page.
If you run into any problems, I am only an email away.
Also, the Forums are a good place to get some answers.
The Forum link is next to the Admin link on the front page.
Forum is where we all meet to share ideas and attempt to
solve problems.
You'll find these forums very valuable.
It's a wonderful group of people with a common goal.....to SUCCEED!
I will keep in touch to see if you need any assistance.
Like I said, I'm only ever an email away!
With everyone working together we can *all* build
a Massive Passive Advertising Machine. My email address is:-

change the ID to your own on any links before sending it.
Best of Luck!
