It’s really a shame but here’s the email I received. It was a good MoneyMaker :(

Dear Sava Alexandru Stefan,

Below is some information regarding your matched.co.uk account.
Please read this information carefully and, if necessary, carry out any action that is requested.

MATCHED HAS CLOSED
==================

It is with much regret that we announce that Matched.co.uk has closed.

Matched has been running as a beta experiment for some time and, after much careful consideration, it has been decided not to progress the project to the next stage.

As a result, Matched will not be accepting new sign-ups and will no longer be assigning adverts to its current publisher base.

If you completed your last payment run before November 19th 2008, you will still be paid, but please note that no future payments will be made after this. Therefore, we recommend that you remove any Matched ads from your websites.

Thank you very much for being part of the Matched.co.uk experience and we wish you the best of luck for the future success of your websites.

Thanks,
Matched.co.uk
=============

What would you be? There are 5 kinds of billionaires according to Which Billionaire.com:

  • The Investor Billionaire
  • The Philanthropist Billionaire
  • The Idealist Billionaire
  • The Mastermind Billionaire
  • The Megalomaniac Billionaire

So … which type are you ?

Increase your online earnings with Bux.to

Posted by Sava on July 10th, 2008

Another great way to increase your online earnings is Bux.to.

Bux.to is the best PayPerClick website on the internet right now in my opinion.
The thing is that if you wanna make real money on Bux.to you need to invest some first.

Just look at my stats:

Bux to Stats

As you can see I bought 30 referrals which cost about $30. Bux.to managed to triple my investment.

Ain’t that great ?

Entrecard Updates: Quick Drop Pages Will Get You Banned

Posted by Sava on June 27th, 2008

I just got an email from Entrecard. It looks like they hate the idea of people making a lot of credits with quick drop pages.

Here’s the email:

——————————
Greetings,

This message is to inform you that effective July 1, 2008, Entrecard will be purging from its system the accounts of all members currently operating “Quick Drop Pages”. We have assembled a massive list of all quick drop pages, and starting on the above mentioned date, we are going to go through the entire list and close the accounts of all the owners.

To avoid having your account with Entrecard permanently removed, you must take down your quick drop page before July 1. If we open a quick drop page with your widget on it, your account will be removed from Entrecard without warning.

What is a Quick Drop Page?
Here is an example:
http://entrecard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/screenhunter_02-jun-26-1736.gif
Quick drop pages are single pages with your Entrecard widget, made to load quickly and display your widget and not much else. Many quick drop pages have just a widget, and maybe an ad or some other type of widget. If you have a quick drop page, you must take it down immediately.

Why are Quick Drop Pages bad?
Quick drop pages devalue our network as a whole, by motivating members to drop on the same, quick loading pages, en masse to gain credits quickly and efficiently. Their traffic is going to these quick drop pages instead of being dispersed among quality blogs. It goes against the spirit of Entrecard, and is essentially a scheme to gain credits quickly.

How will you find them?
Luckily for us, people running “quick drop”, or “powerdrop” pages have listed themselves all over the internet, and we’ve amassed a list that we believe includes every power drop page in existence. Additionally, members dropping on “quick drop pages” may start receiving stiff credit penalties for every drop they do on quick drop pages, as it is not a visit to a blog and thus an illegal drop.

For more info see our blog:
http://entrecard.com/blog/?p=399
——————————

Looks like you’ll have to delete your quick drop page if you have one. If you don’t … then earnings entrecard credits will be much harder.
Anyway, Entrecard is a good way to get targeted traffic to your blog. I suggest you continue using it.

Talent Earns you Money

Posted by Sava on June 21st, 2008

We all know that people make money because they are talented at something.
But sometimes that talent can earn you more money than you ever thought.
This is why me and one of my friends which is very talented with a pencil in his hand will start a new sketch website, logo designing and graphics and so on.

Here are a few drawings he made yesterday while we were drinking coffee and catching up on things (I didn’t see him in a while).

Sketch 1

Sketch 2

Sketch 3

He has talent right ?
What do you think of this sketches ?

Matched.co.uk Payment – Just received it

Posted by Sava on June 16th, 2008

My week started out just great. I just received my May 2008 payment from Matched.co.uk.

Matched Payment

As you can see I received 52 pounds which I converted to US dollars and I ended up with $96.18.
Ah … but the best thing that happened is that this is the first time I manage to request 2 cashouts from PayPal in just 1 day.

Paypal Cashout

As you can see I cashed out my Matched.co.uk payment and some leftovers I had in my PayPal account ( $33.52 )

Cheers friends, I will drink a beer for you to :D
