I'm in on this one and tend to agree that the Link Bucks advertisements are kind of a pain. I almost didn't upgrade because of them, and don't really look forward to 125 days (Hopefully a lot more!!!!) of those things.

Otherwise it looks like a great long-term site!!!!!!!!

Point taken guys and we do understand that there is a fine line when it comes to advertising. We previously had even more ads on the pages then we do now and have taken off the ones that don't work and we will continue to do so. There will always need to be some sort of paid advertising on the site as that is what pays our members, but we do agree that we don't want our members to be deterred to overexposure of advertisements as well. As the site evolves the amount and placement of advertisements will get less intrusive to our members because we will have seen what works and what doesn't.

Your criticism is graciously accepted and we thank you very much for your input on this matter as it is helping us change the site around to make it better for everyone involved.

Please bear with us for the time being and you will see many improvements and changes to the site and program within the next 2 weeks.

Thank you!

Pathwise admin i'm gonna share my opinions.

1. Shorten the length of viewing 1 ad to 15 secs from 30.
2. Increase no. of ads a member can surf.
3. get some monitors who are really good at getting referrals.
4. remove those ads. they are really annoying as per members view. better you place banner ads on your site than those popup ads.
5. Switch to Manual surf because if you want someone to use your advertising then its better to go with manual surf. Many of the people don't even bother looking on the ads of autosurf sites. they just start the autosurf & then proceed with their other works...

well these are some which will do some work for your program. And it would be better if you get custom script(optional) because this one doesn't look good...


i hope some of my points are useful for your site...

regards

Bucksreporter,

Thanks for your opinions and they are very much appreciated!


We will be releasing new changes to the program this week that are going to encompass a lot of the things that you listed so it's good to know we are on somewhat of the same page.

We've already changed the interstitial ads from linkbucks to just top loading banner ads over the weekend, so we hope that that makes things a little easier for everyone. We will continue to change up the ads to be less intrusive as time moves on.

The surfing, script and everything else will be addressed in our announcement later this week so stay tuned.

Thanks again!

Hey everyone!

We are happy to announce that we have now implemented several major changes to the program that we hope will make things even better here for our members at Pathwise Ads.

Please read our post over on our blog at http://news.pathwiseads.com for complete information, as this is a shortened version.

I’ll just get right into it and start listing the changes now to save you all reading time:

1) We have gotten rid of all of the linkbucks pop up banner ads. We are aware many members were unhappy dealing with them and they were causing issues with some of the parts of the script so those are now all gone.

2) We have now lowered the surf timer to 20 seconds for all sites. The minimum daily surfing requirements has now also been lowered to 20. So now instead of surfing for 15 minutes daily, that time has been cut down to 06:40.

3) We have kept the maximum surf limit for free members at 30 per day. We have raised the maximum surf limit for upgraded members to 120 sites per day.

4) We have implemented an added incentive for our upgraded members to stay focused while surfing. There will be credit and cash bonuses that will pop up at different times while surfing. In order to get these, you must click on them within 20 seconds or they will disappear. This will only be available for upgraded members only so you will need to upgrade to earn those.

5) We have now increased the value of a $1 upgrade unit. For every $1 upgrade unit that is purchased, members will receive the following:
- 100 surf credits
- 500 banner/text ad credits
- 10 PTC credits

Awesome upgrades. Thank you for listening to suggestions. I will join now.

Thanks for listening and making changes!!

I just finished surfing and everything ran smoothly, it was a much better experience. I only have a small upgrade right now and planned on increasing it today but screwed up. I had too many things going at once and started surfing before I upgraded again. I will give it a try again tomorrow.

Thanks again!!!

thank you,admin!

How's everyone doing here?

Autosurf Hell, are you still surfing here everyday?

Bucksreporter, what about you?

Admin any updates?

We know that we haven't posted anything up lately as we've been really busy working on some things that we hope to introduce in the future, but will post an update here in the next day or so to report on our progress and current plans. Everything is going very smoothly thus far though.

Thanks for checking in and you should see a release from us in the next couple days with more information.

Hello everyone!

It has been a little while since we have checked in with you all so we figured we would give you all a brief update with how things are going here.

The site is running great and we are constantly growing everyday. We add about 1-2 new members every single day and our Alexa ranking has now dropped down to 1.6 million worldwide. We imagine these numbers to just continue to improve as word of mouth gets around about us and we also still have many, many upgrades and plans we will be making to the site as we grow.

In the short term future, we will be raising the deposit maximum higher next month for those that wish to max out their earnings here as much as possible. We also hope to start adding more options into our PTC section of the site for you all to use as well.

We have started doing some video blogs on our news site at http://news.pathwiseads.com in addition to our regular posts so definitely check that out when you have a chance.

Other than that, we appreciate all of our members here and just want to thank you all again for your continued support.

All the best!

Hey everyone, just wanted to stop in quick and let you all know things are going great here! We now have over 120 members and are growing more and more everyday.

Also, Mr. Interesting if you get this, please pm me your email address as you sent me a message, but I can't respond because I don't have enough posts yet to do so.

Thanks again everyone for your support and hope you have a great weekend!

thank you,admin!

Sorry, I missed this post before. Everything is going very smooth with this program so I really don't check the thread that often. I would recommend joining this one. Good luck!!

Hello everyone!

It has been a short while since our last update so we have a few things to share with you all.

Firstly, we just want to thank everyone that has been an active member here at the site! We have now grown to over 140 members, our alexa rating is down to 1.4 million and we also now are Google PR 1! We know we still have a long ways to go, but this is much farther along than we expected the site to be at this point in time so we are quite pleased with the results thus far.

Because of this we now feel confident in raising the maximum deposit amount up to $75 from $50, so for the few of you that are currently maxed out you may now purchase more shares if you wish to do so. We expect to continue raising this amount every 4-6 weeks for quite awhile, just to give everyone an idea of how we see things going in the future as far as that is concerned.

Another update, is that we are now accepting purchases and payouts from the payment processor, OKPAY. We feel like this is a strong up and coming processor in the industry and they offer a lot of flexibility in the means of that they allow you to fund/withdraw to your account via credit/debit card, bank transfer or even by exchange to other e-currencies like Liberty Reserve, PayPal, etc.

If you don’t already have an OKPAY account, please sign up under us and we will send you 5% cashback immediately to the payment processor of your choice on any purchases you make with us. The sign up link can be found at our post in our blog at http://news.pathwiseads.com - We didn't post our referral link here due to forum rules!

Lastly, we have many things we are currently working on implementing into the program and news blog that should give everyone the ability to make a substantial increase in their daily earnings from us over time, so be on the lookout for that! We had planned to rollout some things this week, but am dealing with time constraints right now, but we will get that out ASAP.

We have been rolling out some video blogs on various other online money making opportunities at http://news.pathwiseads.com this week so check those out in the meantime and we will get back to you soon with much more!

Thanks again and all the best!
