    What is your view to those?

    I've seen quite a few but this one takes the cake for me:

    http://www.studiotraffic.com/index.php

    I know I know I was a sucker and joined up. But I want to know everyone elses views are.

    It is essentially a pyramid-like scheme but its not. I reckon its ingenius. It is a self sustaining system feeding off people's greed for more money.

    Examine the system yourself - you'll see what i mean.

    They've got forums with people - the members raving about how good it is.

    It probably is - if you want to surf 1-2 hours a day to earn 5 bucks.

    GREED. The people who wrote designed this site is probably rolling in it. Just as long there are people who are greedy. Its basically a transfer of money from the suckers to: (in order of priority)

    1) the people who developed the system
    2) the other suckers who surf 1-2 hours a day for $5 a day (yes you are forced to surf for that long - or just leave your browser open fo rthat long and it will "autosurf" for you. You can also pay other people to surf for you)

    And these suckers need to "invest" money - the more you "invest" the more you get paid per hour.

    I wonder how long this will last for.

    sorry - I was just venting... I was getting into the program this arvo and nearly got sucked into putting $100 into it. But no... after writing this - getting my thoughts on paper - its a no go. i'm not greedy.


    Anyway - off topic... did anyone hear about some dude buying a virtual island for $22,000 last year? what happend to that I wonder. I think it was off some online game. Another ingenius internet "business" - but i think this one is better than the other one. This one provided entertainment while the other - false dreams.

    Let me know what you think! :eek:

    Isn't this post just a spam for you to get people to click your affiliate link?

    Good catch, I just noticed the refid in the url. No wonder why he wanted to hide it.

    I wonder too what your motives were to use an affiliate ID. It seemed a genuine post but by doing that you cast quite a different light on your motives...

    Care to explain?

    Studiotraffic is so far a good program. Hope it can last longer. I am also in it.

    Those programs like studio traffic are full of crap if you ask me. I know they pay etc. but if you think about it eventually their will be so many people that they won't be able to payout and newcomers will be screwed.

    I just think of what elders usually say. It is always great if you earn something out of sincere hard work and sacrifice.

    That's the ultimate problem with pyramid schemes. Eventually they collapse and leave a lot of people without their money and a few very happy ones who started it and are now rolling in cash.

    I don't know about this program in general. But a lot of these deals are suckering people from outside the pyramid to drive traffic to their sites - "we can deliver lazer targetted traffic - prospects just slavering at the bit with credit card in hand to GIVE YOU ALL THEIR MONEY".

    When if fact, their sites are just popping up in somebodies screen somewhere whilst they've left the room to boil the kettle.

    So just think where some of that money that you're getting for "surfing" comes from.
