All About This Blog

BEST VIEWED: | 1024 x 768 | Mozilla Firefox | Internet Explorer |

First and foremost, the layout. I love the combination of purple, pink and white, so I decided to change my layout for good (unless I plan to switch again). Anyways, let's talk about this site and what's in here.

The navigation:

HOME - You will see here my recent posts and updates about myself, this blog, and the programs I joined. Basically it's the blog itself. I placed this link for readers like you to be able to navigate properly around my blog.
GET PAID TO (GPT) - When you click on this tab, you will notice several kinds of GPT sites. To narrow them down, here is a list of the types of GPT sites:

Get Paid to Read - Some people call them Paid To Read (PTR) sites. These sites focus mainly on paying the members to READ the ads that advertisers put up to gain either traffic or referrals.
Get Paid to Blog - I guess the name says it all. You get paid to post on your blog, of course subject to approval.
Get Paid to Socialize - OK. Ever heard of Friendster? Or even MySpace? Well, there are sites that pay you to do exactly what you are doing in the aforementioned sites, SOCIALIZE!
Get Paid to - No, it's not a typo. Get Paid To sites are sites that pay you to do more than just reading ads, or blogging, or socializing. They pay you to read ads and emails, take surveys, try offers, sign up for something, play games etc.

MLM & Networking - MLM stands for Multi-Level Marketing. These sites requires people to pay a certain amount of fee to join in exchange of products and services. People earn more with these programs through referring people to join under their referral link. Earnings in this kind of online business is potentially big but is risky due to frauds and scams, so beware.
Others - Anything that is not under the 3 categories are found here.

Payment Processors - eg. PayPal, AlertPay, Liberty Reserve, Ms. Merchant Account
Tips and Tricks - for E-Gold Game
E-Curencies - E-Gold

Alternative Payment Processors For PTR Sites

PayPal no longer accepts Paid-To-Read (PTR) sites. This is, from my opinion, a big loss for their company. I do not really know why they ban PTR sites but if PayPal thinks that it is best for their company, then let it be.

With PayPal out of the picture, other payment processors are starting to become famous to all thus increasing PayPal's competition. Here are the list of alternative payment processors that most PTR sites are using right now (note: e-currencies are included in this list).

1. AlertPay - Their system is similar to PayPal but they their fees are extremely higher compared to PayPal.
2. MoneyBookers - Also similar to PayPal and fees are not half as bad. But there are rumors from other forums that MoneyBookers hates PTR sites. Rumors do spread like wildfire and I'd better be safe than sorry. Although I managed to make myself an account, but I wouldn't risk using this payment processor to process my payments from a PTR site. Maybe I'll just use it for my own personal sake.
3. Google Checkout - I don't think that there are fees for this service, but I haven't really tried this out yet. Anyone who knows more about this payment processor, please enlighten me.
4. E-Gold and Liberty Reserve - These are an internet currencies and the money received here cannot be transfered directly to your bank account, instead, a member should transact with a legit e-currency exchanger like PinoyGoldExchange (for egold) and AsianaGold (for egold and liberty reserve).

For me, I guess the best one so far is e-gold, only because I'm used to using the said internet currency, but I'll give the others a try as well. I might also consult others for this as well, especially here in the Philippines, to know which is more efficient and effective for a PTR site member like me.

If you guys have any comments and suggestions for me to look at and ponder, don't hesitate to drop one! I would appreciate them so much.
