My article got flagged. They said it was spam. But how can spam happen when the article is relevant to the group to which I published it? Ah, I really don't care.
Here's the deal: I have joined groups that would give heads up for any new ways to make money on the internet. I have posted a similar articles about a different programs but pretty much the same kind of program and it gets flagged. Ok, I can deal with that. I deleted my article and didn't take it personally. I think I know what made it get flagged. It was the only one that had a banner in the article. The others only had a link. But the ones that had a link, I deleted also, because they were the same type of article!
Now I am wondering something. What about these groups that I have joined that has a purpose to alert about making money on the internet and allows promotion of different types money makers? Gather's TOS restricts the content of what can be published to them.
I guess , to promote our programs, we will just publish an article about what it is without any banners or ads in them and if anyone wants to join, they can just email to inquire.
I have been doing the ptr (paid to read emails), ptc (paid to click), ptp (paid to promote), surfing and ptsu (paid to sign up) racket for so many years and I have seen tons programs come and go. I was even involved in surfing when a well known scandal broke out between a surfing site (that I had been a member of) with a online payment system (that I also had an account with). Can anyone guess what that was? Here's a clue "daily pro" & "storm".
Anyway, because I have been ptr'ing for so long, I am active in many programs and I have made my own webpage with all the programs I am a part of. Well, most of them which have been reliable, pays their members and hasn't closed up shop without a word are the ones that I feature on my website.
So for now on, I guess I will just mention that I have joined a new site and if anyone is interested in it, they can email me to find out the name. I have recently joined a slew of paid to click sites that pay from 1 cent to 25. I have doubts about the higher paying PTC sites. If they are anything like the PTR's that claim to pay more than a couple of pennies, they won't be paying and they will close up shop. But hey, I am an optimist and maybe I will get paid.... someday....?
How many of you out there do the PTR bit? Please don't list your sites, but if you can give a number for how many you do, that would be great. Thanks.
Currently I am a member of 37 PTR's, 30 PTC's and I am out of the surfing scams now. I got tired of trying to find the honest ones. As far as surf's go, they all turn into scams at some point, even if they have paid you! Before you ask, no, I really don't have time for all of them every day! LOL.
Just a little bit of advice, NEVER, join a HYIP. They are all scams. If anyone claims that one pays, they lied.

just hang in there
HYIP- High Yield Interest Plan. Most of these claim to give you 200% after a week or even more ridiculous 500% in 5 days, etc. They are require e-gold and take no other method to "deposit" to invest. They take your money and never deposit your return back into your e-gold account. Big scams.
PTR - paid to read, usually this is emails. many do pay but watch out for any that pay 5 cents or more. They are scams too.
PTC - paid to click, like clixsense. Same story.
PTP - paid to promote, most PTR's have this option for you to earn 1000th of a penny each time someone views your referral page. (this makes me giggle, it is so small it is worthless and I don't waste my time or energy with that.)
I am not worried about the flagging. There is other ways around it. I don't usually spend too much time with this site because when all is figured up. There is a lot of hours and writing and posting and commenting you have to do to earn the gift cards (which isn't real money anyway.) I prefer cash and not cash for points either.
I signed up for gather because once in a while, I like to write.
