AdsXposed... I need your feedback

Look around, you'll notice several "AdsXposed" blocks. They are the latest alternative to Google AdSense. I'm using them as I feel they're more highly targeted, and have some security levels which help prevent click fraud. I need your help though, with some feedback. Here's the background for you. DXSynergy Business owners create ad campaigns very similar to how you would create an AdWords campaign. These ads are then seen on web pages created by DXSynergy members as well as on the DXSeeker search engine. The business owners pay "per click" and may enable a security feature which prevents "click bots". Here's what I need for you to do... Click on any of the ads on this page. Let me know in the comments section... did you get a security page or not? If so, did you answer the challenge and proceed to the ad? Did you find it a hassle to the point that you wouldn't click on any ads of this kind again? I appreciate your help as I will be providing the comments to DXSynergy. As business owners, we all want to prevent click fraud, but we also understand a certain anxiety from the viewer side, and how many clicks you'll perform before abandoning your quest. Looking forward to your feedback, Shari

Did you fall for the "Get Rich Quick" mentality?

I just love blogs! Especially when they're my own blog... As you can figure out, I'm pretty excited about DXSynergy and it's future. I'll be even more excited when we finally rid the membership of ever lazy, greedy, and otherwise mis-guided individual who ever bought a cheap e-book about DXInOne! What is it about the Internet, and Internet Marketing that makes people believe there's a free lunch in the fridge and a money tree in the back yard? Not to mention a rainbow with a pot of gold parked in the driveway. I've made my usual rounds of several forums related to DXSynergy. I'm not talking about the suspect ones, just the places that are reliable for information, and I've found more than one whiner who just doesn't get it. Now, I've had to sit on my hands in those forums, as it's not nice to write scathing posts about how I really feel about these folks. But not here. No, I can be honest about how I really feel about people who jump into things without doing due dilligence first and then hanging around to hold a pity party later. Here's my advice... Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out! If you're not happy with DXSynergy, leave. Go to an exchange forum and offer up your pittance at a 12 to 1 trade (if you can even get that). Or, better yet, leave your money there and at some yet to be determined date, you'll get some of your money back. For those of you who want to get out, but don't know how... You have two choices. You can beg someone to buy you out, or you do nothing. Now, I'm not interested in your whine about how the system made you inflate your portfolio, or how you were promised that if you put money in today, you could get more money out tomorrow, or how you've had OutExchanges listed for over a year, and they've not happened. I'm not interested because all that stupid activitiy nearly killed this incredible business. As for me, I'm here for the long haul. I see this as a real business allowing me to conduct my business with an International Business License, in a safe and secure fashion. Yes, it may be a couple of years before all the pieces really come together, but in the meantime, I'm more than happy to study, participate, and help make DXSynergy a truely successful business community.

Got a few minutes? DX Synergy Presents...

Grab a cup of coffee, or your other favorite beverage. It's break time... and time to explore DXSynergy. Watch the presentation. You'll get as excited as I am about this company. It's absolutely like anything you've ever seen before. DXSynergy Presents! Understand that many of the modules are still in development. However some are already functional, and new module rollouts are pending. While there is an affiliate opportunity with this business, the real power is the marriage of traditional business to regional/local information and advertising, as well as a properly functioning safe, secure shopping environment. I don't know what tickles your fancy when it comes to developing income. I do know what tickles mine. Here is what I am doing and what I will be doing very shortly within DXSynergy. I am currently a member. That means I have an account, and have established a portfolio. Shortly, I'll become part of a team which is establishing an International Business. I will become the DXMerchant for that business, operating their e-currency exchange console. Within the next year, I'll establish my own International Business and most likely move into the publishing arena along with functioning as a DXMerchant. I can tell you one thing for sure... The learning curve is steep, but when you study each day you learn. When you learn and apply, you get results. With DXSynergy, your results are always positive.

Confusion reigns... is DXSynergy a HYIP?

I've just been informed that this blog url was deleted from a manual traffic exchange. Now, I wouldn't be upset, except this is an exchange where I have been a member since very shortly after it's inception. This blog url was deleted becuase of an alleged violation of the TOS... they claim DXSynergy is a HYIP. Let's look at the facts, starting with definitions. HYIP means High Yield Investment Program. It can also mean High Yield Income Program. In looking at Wikipedia, here's what I've found... bit by bit with my comments listed directly below. "HYIP stands for High Yield Investment Program. HYIPs are purported investment programs normally offered via the Internet. HYIPs typically accept investments of $100 or less while promising high returns. The introduction of e-currencies such as e-gold and StormPay (although almost all HYIPs do not use StormPay as of February 2006, see StormPay article for why) has made it easy for HYIPs to operate across international boundaries, and to accept large numbers of small investments." DXSynergy is NOT an investment program. While it does offer a savings account, it is not, nor has it ever been a true investment program. Most deposits in DXSynergy are far in excess of $100. There has never been a promise of exceptionally high returns by DXSynergy. Those claims were made by a group of promoters who thought they could make a quick buck. As a result of those operators (selling cheap "How To Get Rich" e-books") those of us who are long-time members are now picking up the pieces of the testing phase and moving forward with the public release of the business community. The income derived through DXSnyergy comes from the sale of advertising to network members. In the future, income will also be generated when merchants utilize the e-currency exchange process. Also coming are shopping, classified ads, and auction portals as well as a travel portal. In regards to income claims, DXSynergy (formerly DXIO, or DXInOne) has never made specific income claims. Because the system is fee-based, you cannot lose original deposits except through negilgence, and/or severe currency fluctuations. What DXSyngery offers with all the services above is a secure escrow service which prevents fraudulent transactions, something that E-Bay and others have yet to achieve with high expense to the users. Granted, over the last year many folks have confused this program with a HYIP, when, in fact, they were totally wrong and have literally slandered the name.
