Congratulations Neobux 4th Anniversary

Posted by BobbyT | Monday, April 30, 2012 | 1 comments »

Just noticed Neobux's logo change today:


Yes, it is their 4th Anniversary and they are 4 years old. Wish them all the best and a great year ahead.

Read their post about them being in the 5th year and the discounts they are offering in conjunction with the celebration of their anniversary here:

We're officially in our 5th year

Neobux is no doubt a reliable PTC (paid-to-click) site. I would even go so far to say that it is THE reliable and honest PTC site. If there were any more such sites currently, they are pretty much inspired by Neobux. Correct me if I am wrong in the comments, but I believe Neobux is the pioneer in being an honest and reliable for the long-term PTC site.

I earned some small pocket money with them. You can too! These small change really helps at times. Others have even made hundreds and even thousands of dollars (some recurring monthly) from this site. Do you want to be one of them?

Let's embrace NewTwitter

Posted by BobbyT | Thursday, September 30, 2010 | , | 9 comments »

Apparently NewTwitter has been gradually rolled out since September 14 but I only get to play with it a few days ago. The improvement or upgrade is much welcome, considering that there were not many (major) innovations coming from the microblogging giant since day 1 of its launch.

Honestly, the upgrade is not revolutionary. Twitter just added features which have long been demanded by its loyal users or are pretty standard on other social networking sites. Nevertheless, I believe this represents the first step for it to bring many more innovations to the table to improve users' experience in the near future.

The new interface of #NewTwitter
New features
  • New design with multiple tabs (@mentions, retweets, searches, etc.) in the timeline, recent and suggested activities and actions on the right.
  • Embedded content such as pictures and videos can be previewed and viewed directly on Twitter.
  • Users are able to discover related content of a Tweet such as additional information about the author and subject.
  • Mini profiles allow previewing of users that you come across without leaving the page (their account information, bio, recent Tweets, etc.).
 Major concerns by users and developers alike
  • Old Twitter background will not be displayed correctly in the new design.
  • Twitter desktop client softwares such as TweetDeck and Seesmic Desktop are rendered less useful and relevant now that some of their features have been incorporated in #NewTwitter.
Same old same old (things we are glad did not change)
  • Tweet still consists of 140 characters or less. Duh!
  • #NewTwitter seems more like an interface upgrade and functionality addition rather than a complete revamp. Hence existing applications using Twitter API should still function perfectly.
What are the responses to #NewTwitter? 
At this initial stage, we can only conclude that there are mixed reactions to #NewTwitter. Some hate it, some adore it, others are indifferent. Of course, there are also thousands of Twitter users who plead to be given access to the new Twitter. Here are some Tweets in response to this upgrade.


Nobody is forced to have the #newtwitter at this point, it's only a preview.

Yes but won't all of us need to switch to #newtwitter, eventually?

#newtwitter so far very cool, but still missing some nice #Tweetdeck features
Tweeted by @BizTechMBA
Really? I'm not sure what are those missing features. But being able to view embedded medias on #newtwitter is pretty cool!

I don't like the #newtwitter! And it thinks I'm in #Poland :D Ok, that's kinda cool:D:D

I think you have to embrace #newtwitter, better sooner than later :D

WPWebHost Cheap Freedom Plan Hosting Up for Grabs (Limited Units!)

Posted by BobbyT | Tuesday, June 08, 2010 | | 5 comments »

In conjunction with the launch of its new website appearance (redesign), WPWebHost announced a crazy one time discount up to 90% for its WPWebHost Freedom Plan.

What is offered under WPWebHost Freedom Plan?

  • Total web space: 50GB
  • Monthly data transfer: 500GB
  • FREE lifetime domain name
  • Host up to 50 domain names per account
  • cPanel
  • Unlimited subdomains, MySQL database, FTP accounts
  • Nightly backups
  • One-click WordPress auto-installer
  • Extensive free WordPress tips and video tutorials
To summarize, this Freedom Plan is suitable for small and medium business and individual use especially if you do not expect more than 30,000 unique visitors per month. You can always upgrade to higher plans later on if you need to expand beyond that figure.

Unfortunately, there are limited units under this promotion (first come, first served, while stock lasts). As I am writing this post, the discount code for 90% (10 units), 80% (30 units) and 70% (50 units) discounts have been fully utilized and those units have sold out. There is currently less than 300 units remaining under this promotion for the 60% and 50% discounts.
As shown in the image above, you can save even more if you immediately sign up for 2 years hosting. Based on the features in Freedom Plan, it is almost impossible to find another quality web host which could offer a better price than $2 / month. This is truly affordable hosting at its best!

Don't wait any longer, lock in the offer at the 60% discounted price now. Click on the link below to sign up:

P.S. How about me? Did I grab this irresistible offer? Yes, I signed up for 60% discount for 2 years. Over to you now!

Just received $10 cashout from Project Wonderful, thank you!

Posted by BobbyT | Wednesday, January 20, 2010 | , , | 3 comments »

Yesterday when I logged into my Project Wonderful account, I noticed that I have accumulated enough funds to cash out or withdraw (the minimum amount before withdrawal is permitted is $10). Each withdrawal are charged $1 regardless of the amount withdrawn, I guess this is fair for the company, especially after the introduction of PayPal fee lately.

Project Wonderful is a good opportunity to make money for small publishers and also to gain exposure for advertisers who run a tight budget. Project Wonderful is a advertising network which automates the task of buying and selling ad spaces at their marketplace. Its unique system is based on auction of ad spaces, i.e. whoever bids the highest will get the ad space. You can start advertising for as low as FREE (due to default minimal bid value being set to $0.00 to promote initial bidding) to several cents a day up to the amount you are comfortable to pay for the ad space (the highest bid amount I have seen is about $45).

I think Project Wonderful is offering an advertising alternative which has not been made available before. There is no weekly or monthly commitment, you only bid for a particular day which you can cancel anytime. It also allows advertisers to display their ads on multiple sites at cheap rather than pool all their resources on a single site which may or may not bring desired traffic or attention. On the other hand, small advertisers benefit by being able to try out the efficacy of a campaign on a high traffic publisher site without being tied down for long term.

Other advantages/benefits offered by Project Wonderful:

  • easy to set up for publishers (select the ad types you want, copy and paste the code into your site)
  • payment by PayPal (minimum amount to cash out is $10 with $1 withdrawal fee)
  • no fixed payment dates (you can withdraw anytime, unlimited times per month provided have minimum cash out amount)
  • detailed statistics and reporting system (with export to spreadsheet capability!)
  • easy to use and effective marketplace (https://www.projectwonderful.com/adsearch.php)
  • multiple ad sizes supported
It took me quite a while to accumulate $10 with Project Wonderful because I was only serving their ads here on this blog, which is not very popular to be honest. However now having received payment from them, I can trust them, throw caution to the wind and use them on more websites. I look forward to having a pleasant time as a publisher with Project Wonderful.


P.S. At this moment I am also experimenting with Adgitize, will report back about my experience later on. Do you have experience with any of these advertising networks? Do share your experience with us.
