Update from Admin:

More Payouts & Ghost Surfing /09 May 2007/

Hello Members,

We are proud to announce that we have now completed our 6th round of payouts. All members who were eligible to cashout on Friday have been paid. All payments were completed ahead of schedule. If you received a payment from us or are otherwise satisfied with FirstComeFirstSurf, you can support the program by taking a moment to vote on the monitor listings below to help increase exposure and awareness of our program. Remember, voting is only optional but can help generate more ad sales for us.

We have now released a special new membership add-on called "Ghost Surfer". This add-on is available to all members regardless of their subscription level and does not cancel out any current subscriptions. This enhancement allows you to have a "Ghost" surf all your required pages on your account for 10 consecutive days! This way, you can go on vacation, take a break from surfing, or use it as an insurance policy for days you could possibly miss surfing. This add-on is only $5 for ten days.

Check out "Ghost Surfer" here

Our preliminary poll results are showing a strong favoring towards AlertPay and e-Bullion. Combined, 87% of our members have voted for us to add one of these payment processors. Only 14% of our members do not hold accounts in either AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, or e-Bullion. The results of the polls provide information needed to move forward with a new processor. At this time, it still seems feasible to add at least one more processor and simultaneously maintain the ability to accept e-gold for purchases and payments. Once we have made some script adjustments for payment processors, we will be adding at least one more.

Don't forget to request cashout or purchase new ad packs from your cash balance this Friday!

Good morning FirstComeFirstSurf members!

Everything continues to operate almost flawlessly with all projected outside and inside revenue streams on target, payments are going out twice weekly, and program growth is where we want it to be. We can confidently say that our program has not been adversely affected by recent high profile program closures and abrupt term changes or by e-gold litigation. Although we may not be within the top one or two programs in surfing monitors, we are content with our current momentum which allows us to carefully manage the program and funds.

Cashout Requests Open:

Today is Friday which means all members who are eligible to request cashouts will have the option today. Members can also purchase new ad packs from cash balance today as well. Payments will be made as scheduled (within 3 days for members with membership subscriptions and within 7 days for normal members)

2 Month Anniversary, Raffles, VIP Memberships,more /23 June 2007/

Dear Members,

It's time for a long overdue update about FirstComeFirstSurf and just in time for our two month anniversary to explain some new things that are happening at the site. Some may ask, why hasn't their been any updates for the past few weeks? Well you know the saying no news is good news. Everything continues to operate almost flawlessly. Members have taken advantage of our recently added payment processor options, AlertPay and SolidTrustPay. E-Gold is still an option on the site and the only issues we have encountered with this processor is the high expense involved of moving funds in and out of e-gold as needed along with the daily value fluctuations. We will explain how we plan to help offset increased expenses below. For fun, we have now added some new raffles for great prizes including Permanent Ghost Surfer, Ms. Pac Man / Galaga real arcade machine, Xbox 360, Front Page advertising, and more!

Advertising:

We are proud to announce that FirstComeFirstSurf has now served over 4 million ad impressions and visits to our advertiser's sites. A huge jump over the last update that will continue to increase over time. This is a great time to purchase your banner and text link advertising as rates are super low for the amount of exposure you will get in a short period of time.

VIP Memberships:

We have now made subscription based VIP Memberships more prominent in the member's area and have also adjusted the script so that members are able to purchase VIP subscriptions using their existing cash balance. All VIP Memberships will now also earn surf rotator credits for surfing as an added bonus. Be sure to take advantage of the VIP Membership that suites your advertising and surfing needs.

High Volume Hosting Solutions:

Ever wanted to host your site or program with the best hosting solution in the world but don't want to pay full price? FirstComeFirstSurf now offers hosting through RackSpace for a discounted rate. RackSpace hosting offers world class protection from hackers, DDoS, and has no downtime!. If you are interested in hassle free hosting for your high volume site, please submit an inquiry for more details.

Two Month Anniversary Raffles:

We have now launched new raffles in celebration of our two month anniversary and will be giving away thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. Be sure to purchase your tickets to the raffles of your choice using your cash balance or payment processor. We have some nice prizes including Xbox 360, Ms. Pac Man / Galaga real arcade machine, advertising, cash, and more. Purchase your ticket for as low as $0.25 to win. Once all tickets are sold within a particular raffle, a drawing will be held. Other prizes to be added soon.

E-Gold:

Even though we have not encountered any functionality problems with e-gold, USD value fluctuations coupled with expenses involved for moving funds in and out remain high. In order to offset these expenses, it is necessary to adjust Ad Pack and other purchase fees associated with using e-gold. While e-gold will still remain an option, we encourage members to start using other processors we have available such as SolidTrustPay and AlertPay. Instructions for switching processors are available here. SolidTrustPay will now be the processor with the lowest fees. We are currently working on a alternate solution that may be more appealing to all members including those in international locations. We will let everyone know when we have more information.

FastPay Option:

We are testing out a new limited time option for non-VIP members to give them a taste of faster payouts. Normal members will be able to receive a Sunday payment with this one time option. Promotion will be open till the end of the day.

From Admin:

Update about earnings corrections /06 July 2007/

Dear Members,

We have now completed the removal of accidental overpayment for members who purchased ad packs on June 15th. Each ad pack expires once it reaches 115% in rebate earnings. With the current daily earnings trend, this equals 20 days worth of surfing. During this last audit, we found that members who purchased ad packs on June 15th were credited an extra day of surfing. It was necessary to remove this extra day to make sure all earnings remain accurate.

Members who have been holding off on requesting cash out in order to get their accounts corrected may go ahead and request cash out now.

Different circumstances for members who purchased on June 15th:

1. If you surfed the full 20 days, the system gave you 21 days of credit (20 days at 6% and one final day credit) so the Ad Pack rebate for July 6th was removed to complete exactly 115%

2. If you surfed only 19 days, the system gave you 20 days of credit (20 at 6%) so the Ad Pack rebate for July 6th was removed, and after midnight, you will receive your credit for the final day to reach exactly 115%

3. If you surfed only 18 days, the system gave you 19 days of credit so the Ad Pack rebate for July 6th was removed and after tomorrow, your account will be adjusted to reflect correct earnings per day. Once you surf all remaining days, will receive exactly 115% earnings

4. If you surfed only 17 days or less days, the system gave you and extra day of credit so the Ad Pack rebate for July 6th was removed and after tomorrow, your account will be adjusted to reflect correct earnings per day. Once you surf all remaining days, will receive exactly 115% earnings

We also noticed a strange anomaly where members who purchased new ad packs directly from earnings balance early this morning, before the earnings corrections were made, have been credited for two days worth of earnings already. These only affected a few accounts and have already been corrected.

Please feel free to contact me or post to the MoneyMakerGroup or Money Talk Pro forums if you need any further clarification.

Update from site:

More payouts, and answered questions /09 September 2007/

Hello,

First in line, I would like to thank all of you for your continued support. Even though it is currently small, it is support nevertheless. I would also like to take this time to answer a few questions I have been getting multiples of in the ticket system. I figured if multiple people were asking, there were many more that were not asking.

#1 Are we closing? No, of course not! We have no reason to close with the revenue share model. Revenue sharing can work, and has been proven to work in other businesses outside of this industry. The Admin must not fear putting up the real numbers and daily payout percentages. Falsifying these numbers just leads to a nasty failure and lost trust. It is better to earn a lower percentage than no percentage at all. We will not continue to pay a percentage we can not maintain just to make the program appear better than it is, like other programs have done in the past. We are not going to tell you we need to evaluate anything, or turn off the cash out button to prevent you from getting money you have already earned. This is a revenue sharing model and you earn based on all combined revenue for the previous day. This includes not only ad pack sales, but also vip subscription sales, site advertising sales, revenue from ad publisher networks, affiliate revenue, revenue from our principle business, and any other revenue we can include to help the program. If sales are up, your percentage rebate earned will be up. If sales are down, your percentage will be down as well. There will not be any adjustments or hidden manipulation of money to make the program appear as anything else other than what it actually is. This is how a revenue sharing model is SUPPOSED to work. Remember in a true revenue sharing program, it is not possible to earn money if it hasn't been made yet. If you have a cash balance, that money is in the system and can be paid.

This being said, you should respect the fact I am honest with you with the percentages, and support the program that is going to be here long term.

#2 When will the percentages get higher again? Honestly, I don't know when, but they will. It depends a lot on the performance of the company and behavior of the members. Like I said in last week's announcement, if all members purchased $2.00 in site advertising, we would be at 6%, but only a handful of people actually did that. We do have some higher volume advertisers in the program that have slacked off and when there ad packs expire, the daily rebate percentages should make a dramatic jump. Remember in order for me to make revenue, I must have operating capital to use in order to make it happen. Understanding that the percentage has been low lately, I did reduce the surfing requirements approximately 50% for everyone. This brings me to the third most asked question I have been getting.

#3 Why don't I just make it no surf while the percentage is low? That is actually a very easy question to answer. We sell advertising to make money as well. If no one is surfing, then who will spend money on advertisement if there isn't a person to view it? Pretty simple. We have got to keep surfing, so we can sell the ads. In case anyone was wondering, we now have nearly 2000 members in our database . If you want to purchase a premium page ad, or email to all members you are getting a great deal. We are still serving tens of thousands of hits daily to the front page if you need some banner advertising. We are still a very viable advertising source.

Now there are another couple options if you don't feel like surfing while the percent is low. One option is you can take a break from surfing since your ad-packs do not expire until they reach 115%. So if you take a few days off in these low percentage days, you aren't going to miss much, and can make it up later when percents are a bit higher.

The other option is get in our sister program, 123SurfEasy : Welcome to 123SurfEasy!, that is a fixed 4.1% per day for each of 30 days that you AUTO-SURF (after premium pages). It offers a 123% possible rebate plus referral commissions. That program is completely separate from this one and that money is sent to an investment firm used to generate profits. Profits are then paid back to members when their ad-packs expire. We haven't started marketing heavy for this one yet, so it is still very early to start building your referrals since it is almost unknown at this time. This is a no-brainer to get in to. 123SurfEasy : Welcome to 123SurfEasy!

Another factor on lower percentage lately is my main business is slow in the summer. Arcades, bars, laundry mats ect, buy their new arcade machines before summer to make money off the kids out of school. The end of summer people don't buy new machines because there are not flocks of bored kids hanging around to make money off of. Now as it gets closer to other events that create sales (Halloween, school carnivals, Thanksgiving, Christmas), machine and part sales pick up again. More business = more profits.

Now that I have gone over those common questions, let me take a moment to bring to attention that we are still paying, and early as always. Please take a few moments to let the world know by posting in a forum, and placing a few votes on your favorite monitors. Another round of payments is going out in a few minutes after I finish writing this letter. To date we have made over 2,000 payments early and only have about 100 votes on our monitors. Please support your program.

As always I would like to remind everyone we provide Hosting: Any aspiring people that want to be an Admin of your own program, we can provide RackSpace hosting for you at a minimum 50% discount off their normal prices. Submit us a ticket with your contact info, and we will speak with you to guide and help you get set up.

I know this has been a lengthy letter, but anyone interested in knowing about their advertising program would take the time to read it.
