Sponzai a paid guest post system allowing a blogger to earn income inviting guest to add content to their weblog is another new way to monetize a blog from Izea. Izea is the parent company to such sites as Social Spark, Pay Per Post, Sponsored Tweets and you guessed it Sponzai.

We welcome them  to our advertising sponsors list.

Now for the random phrase they use to verify the ownership of the blog by the blogger. Please understand the next line will make zero sense.

Velocity Marketer Company moving forward.

With the hard hit on such services as our website hosting system and the announced retirement or semi retirement of CEO Dave Gilbert, new leadership in Sr. Partner Andy Anderson has stepped forward to consolidate and advance our business.

Velocity Marketer currently holds over 20 domains and websites with most either marked for future website development or used in a manner to generate traffic and buzz about our programs.

Several of these domains will soon be placed for sale via SEDO, the leading resource for Domain Name sales. Currently offered for sale is PR5 Easy Search Live search engine which has been decided no longer meets our future development goals and has been placed on the back burner the last couple of months.

Easy Search Live was established on the domain easysearch.com.au in 2003 and mover to easysearchlive.com in 2005 and is a high traffic, well ranked website and domain name that has built a great reputation in the alternative search engine category.

UPDATE: We have pulled our listing for Easy Search Live and redirected that domain to send immediate traffic to our new and drastically improved search engine AZ Locate. The new search engine has such major features as mobile search, and social media search tools and expands our service beyond it’s former limits.

Our business model moving forward will be laser targeted on our growing wordpress theme, CMS templates, and prepackages website themes, tools and training resources through My Viral Business. In addition we will remain active and moving forward with My Viral Blog . We have also just launched AZ Locate Internet Search Engine with social media search and quick view for comparison shopping. We are also in development of a micro blogging system at Hot Spot Social which has entered Beta Testing and is awaiting a upgrade to the current RSS output before being released.

Over the next couple of days a total changing of the guard will be completed, all reference to our former hosting services will be removed or modified to reflect the end of that program. At that point we will begin to add new designs and products to My Viral Business and expand promotion of our affiliate program and discount club operations.

Please bear with us during this time of change and growth,

It is with sad hearts that we are announcing the official close to Velocity Marketer Hosting.

Due to the Global Economic Crisis our client base has dropped sharply and does not allow for the hiring of new support staff to continue offering the high level of service we have provided since inception. With that in mind we as a company will not offer a service that does not reflect our promise of rapid experienced support and client promotion.

No new clients will be taken:

Existing clients have been issued a notice that they will have until the end of February to find new hosting service to migrate their websites to prior to our closing of the c-panel system and access to accounts. Clients who have moved their service prior to the end dates of their current contract will be refunded the remainder of un-used service as per the site terms you agreed to at the beginning of your contract. Full details have been e-mailed to you at your account e-mail address.

Existing hosting clients in need of support related to their moving of websites and domains from our system may place a support ticket in your user back office..

Velocity Marketer and Velocity Marketer Hosting in conjunction with DG Innovations / Pyrium of Australia have been proud to serve you, and have valued every client. This was a tough call but a much needed move to save resources and consolidate our business.

It is with further sadness we announce the retirement or semi retirement of CEO and Hosting admin Dave Gilbert. His technical skills in design and SEO, had him in high demand among clients and made Velocity Marketer Hosting work.

Dave has reached a time in his life where 10 years of late nights and early mornings has demanded he now focus a majority of his time to family and living life. His grand children demand his presence and we wish him the absolute best in his at least scaled back workload.

Dave has been asked to remain a periodic author for My Viral Blog sharing his wealth of knowledge and has offered limited consulting to Dale and Myself. He may also be available for outsourced work on design projects in the future, but his services will not be a daily part of Velocity Marketer moving forward.

Dave has been friend and mentor to me for the better part of 5 years. a true friend in success and trials alike and his efforts have resulted in a strong business model that has survived where others have failed. I am proud to have had him as a business partner for so long.. I am even more proud of our friendship which knows no bounds, even the thousands of miles of land and water between Australia and my home in Yuma Arizona. Dave and his family will always be a part of our extended family and a door will always be open to his return.

Thanks to Dave for his service and our clients for their business,

Andy Anderson

Rare for us to promote and offer from a traffic exchange here with the exception of our own Traffic Fire Storm but this news must get out to all those seeking traffic and visitors on a limited to non existent budget.

Deep Space Traffic sent me a little message today.

They are celebrating several new features and for a limited time are paying $1 per active referral, and up to 70% commissions to recruit people to this highly active Manual traffic exchange. Yes that's $1 per free members referral when they become active and surf at DST but this offer is limited time only.

A traffic exchange for those who don't know is a system where you earn visitors for your website by visiting other websites in a surf window. DST offers huge bonuses, great contest, and pays cash money on both upgraded memberships and credit sales to your downline. Their team surfs are a lot of fun and have had me personally earn over 13,000 credits in my first 5 days at Deep Space Traffic.

Best yet, my first referral upgraded on the one time offer for $19.99 a month and my commission off that sale is $13.77 a month. I am hoping to see a lot more sales by the end of the day.

Like I said above we normally don't promote other traffic exchange systems on My Viral Blog but this one is paying out some huge cash to get rolling and is brought to you by Kjell Skogsoy from Lords of Traffic.

Visit DST today!!

Thanks for your time,

Andy Zeus Anderson

One of the most important tools in a marketers toolbox is the microblog, no other form of free promotion can get visitors to your site faster than a microblog.

Now there are many sites on the net offering microblogging apart from twitter and sometimes using one of these other sites can be more beneficial than posting on twitter alone.

Some of the other microbloggers deal only with certain niches and for targeting these are ideal places to launch your product or service that fall into a certain niche (most products and services belong to one niche or another) SPNBabble for instance deals mainly with search and advertising while Hot Spot Social is focused on the Internet Business community and social media as a whole and deals mainly with business networking and link building.

Most of the Microblogging sites allow you to place a URL within your post but you have to remember a microblog is small normally between 160 and 200 characters so keep the text short and link to the information rather than try posting all you need to say in the microblog, most will have found this post simply because it is linked to my microblog demonstrating the power a microblog has.

When joining a microblogging community it is important you read their rules in order to avoid being banned for spamming, be sure to fill in your profile giving as much detail about yourself as possible (the more people know about you the more they are likely to accept you in the community), be honest never try to embellish your abilities as you will quickly get found out and be shunned as a fraud.

Be active in the community never just post and leave, your post will quickly disappear from the activity feed so you will need to re-post daily, you may also receive some comments about your post, be polite and answer them even if the comment is upsetting replying with a thank-you for your input can be more upsetting for the commenter who probably just wanted to get a reaction from you.

Follow people, the fastest way to get followers is to actually start following people you come across in the community, most times they will reciprocate and follow you also, following a person means when they post you should be notified of a new post most times you will receive an email notification likewise when you post your followers will all be notified providing instant  promotion of your new post.

Your Avatar is important it should reflect who you are, personally i prefer to use a good head shot photograph of myself but you could also use your brand or logo as effectively.

Check your spelling when making a post and use proper language skills, if people can't understand what your saying they are going to dismiss your post as rubbish.

Don't forget to check out all the facilities offered at the microblogging site, some are pretty cool and can be a great tool for promotion .

Most of all remember microblogging works and if your not already using them then you are missing out on a ton of free traffic not to mention the links your posts will provide back to your main site.

My Viral Blog will no longer be offering free blog hosting services.

When Initially launched the intent of My Viral Blog was to offer free hosting for online bloggers interested in for profit blogging and owning a home based business. In the past several months though, what was hoped to be a well received project adding value to our systems and sites has turned into an attention and money pit with massive attacks from blog spammers and link sellers using illegal methods to rip off the webmasters of the world.

My average week since inception has revolved around deleting around 2500 spam accounts per week including fake blogs designed only to create a back link. This process takes around 5-6 hours per week alone, another 6-10 hours per week has been spent to research and improve blog security and blacklist attacking domains and IP strings.

Along the way we have developed a popular blog and are seeing increased back links, syndication of our articles and post, and support for our training in blog, social media, and search engine marketing. The efforts to improve on this have resulted in a PR4 ranking from Google which could be higher if it were not for the spammers who create pages we must later delete. The deleted pages and fake blogs with no unique content result in a penalty to our blog's Page Ranks and indexing by generating too many indexed and site mapped links that result in a 404 error page or blank blogs linking to the home that appear to search engines like gateway pages which are heavily penalized and can result in de-listing.

Dropping the free blogs and it's effect on users:

As a result we have shut off new blog creations and are giving notice to our bloggers to retrieve their SQL back ups in order to move their blogs to other hosting either self hosted or through other free services. Those seeking affordable blog hosting with large account space and unlimited bandwidth and unlimited domain names are welcome to check out Velocity Marketer Hosting. Pound for pound our hosting service offers features not found at comparable prices and service that is above and beyond expectations.

Velocity Marketer and My Viral Blog are making some minor and major changes this week to streamline business operations and focus our service and resources. Other major announcements will follow over the next few days as we return to a 100% blog at My Viral Blog and begin spending more time writing articles and less time consumed by blog security issues.

Thanks for all you do,

Seems 2010 is going to bring with it a fresh batch of sites making preposterous claims in order to scam web users out of their money, too often my business partner Andy and I come across these sites pretending to offer an unbelievable business opportunity when in fact there is nothing of the sort to be found.

One recent site we came across http://ismyblogs.name/ is one such site lets look at what makes this site a scam.

1. It makes a ridiculous opening statement "WATCH THIS VIDEO TO SEE HOW I USED THIS BLOGGING SERVICE TO
RANK IN THE NUMBER 1 SPOT IN GOOGLE IN UNDER 2 MINUTES".

Anyone with even a small amount of experience on the internet knows that this is just not possible (unless you own Google that is), even using the best submitters available it will still take the better part of the day for Google to visit and schedule your site/post for indexing it can then take several days even weeks before it appears in the search results .

2. This site claims to provide Free submission to 800,000 search engines 

This is another false claim as even the best submitters do not submit to that many engines or directories and if they did submission would take months as most require some form of manual submission and in a lot of cases confirmation via email.

3. potential signups through 5 levels.

Now if this were possible it would be great but most payment processors will not allow payment to multiple tiers, apart from this there is no clear product being sold, to be a legal business you need to have either a physical product or service, Paid Membership in the opportunity is not a qualifying factor for legal status.

further lets look at what the above site offers as it's affiliate payment system (this is copied direct from the site)

• POTENTIAL EARNINGS LEVEL 1 – 10 new sign ups = $10 to you each month (this covers your blogging service fee)
• LEVEL 2 Your 10 each sign up 10 = $100 to you each month
• LEVEL 3 These 100 each sign up 10 = $1,000 to you each month
• LEVEL 4 These 1000 each sign up 10 = $10,000 to you each month
• LEVEL 5 These 10,000 each sign up 10 = $100,000 to you each month

If this were possible don't you think every adult on the internet would be members after all $111,100.00 a month is far better than most company managers earn why everyone would give up their jobs and just do that , well they would until the power went out and the phone lines quit and the food became impossible to get because all the shops were closed and nobody is growing food or running the essential services like electricity or water, after all we would all be on $1,333,200.00 a year incomes that require little or no work , not that there would be anywhere to spend the money anyway making it valueless.

The Bottom line is don't be sucked in by these scams, sure they may pay out a few dollars to the few that get in on launch but for the majority of the members no such income is possible, they are mostly designed to be short lived with the owners pulling the plug as soon as they see membership tapering off and the number of complaints rising.

Look for the real product or service in an opportunity and do the maths remember there are only so many people on the internet and while some quote the world population they don't mention the figures include people in poorer countries where only a small percentage of the actual population can own a computer let alone connect to the internet.

Remember the old Adage "If it looks too good to be true it generally is"
