All About PayPal the Online Pseudo Bank – It’s How You Get Paid !
 |
PayPal, an eBay property, is no doubt the preferred way by those in the know to pay and get paid online with the best of convenience, simplicity, power options, and security. PayPal is not exactly an online bank but not exactly just a simple online payment processor. PayPal members can choose among a myriad of options, bells, and whistles when it comes to sending and receiving payments online.
Most all legitimate and popular get paid to (GPT) sites (with few exceptions) offer PayPal as a premier cash out / withdrawal option. Many of the best, most modern GPT sites even offer to pay you via PayPal instantly which means that you’ll be receiving your PayPal deposit from them anywhere from one to fifteen minutes flat!
Instant PayPal with no minimum cash out GPTs coupled with a premier or business PayPal account linked to a (optionally available after some time with an account in good standing – the option to apply will appear when “it’s time”) PayPal Debit Card (“Get cash from your PayPal account or any ATM or use it anywhere MasterCard is accepted.“) make the ideal combination of convenience, simplicity, and speed in getting paid (truly instant gratification!) The PayPal Debit Card can be used just like most any other debit card issued by a brick-and-mortar bank at stores (online and offline) along with cash back if desired and at ATMs for an instant cash fix.
PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.
PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with more than 153 million accounts worldwide. Available in 190 markets and 24 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global ecommerce by making payments possible across different locations, currencies, and languages.
PayPal has received more than 20 awards for excellence from the internet industry and the business community -most recently the 2006 Webby Award for Best Financial Services Site and the 2006 Webby People’s Voice Award for Best Financial Services Site.
Located in San Jose, California, PayPal was founded in 1998 and was acquired by eBay in 2002.

Gamevance, Let the Sucker beware ! Malware Alert !
Gamevance, a wildly popular offer on GPT / survey sites has emerged to show its true colors. Offer site members are urged to download docile sounding video games to earn pennies only to discover after the fact that these downloads contain some pretty apparently deliberately nasty code which has the potential to be an annoyance in the least while packing a good punch while bringing your system security to its knees with a compromising payload of malware carrying out an unstated agenda.
I, myself, (a seasoned IT professional) recently had the unfortunate luck to discover that these seemingly harmless downloads disguised deliberately as an elaborate ruse to apparently 1) spy on your internet activities while giving the source a play-by-play of all your internet secrets at will (to what extent? Unknown by me at this time), 2) conspire to divert legitimate browser commands while redirecting the viewer to the web site of the source’s best and most lucrative profit based choice (damn free will), and 3) illegally install software that effectively yields any and all established personal / business administration system security measures useless in the face of complete dominance of the victim’s PC by means of a 100% complete and final hijack (root kit) of the victim system!

How to Maximize Your Online Referral Link Marketing Efforts
Coming from an information technology / web site development background and having discovered the wealth that can be earned several years ago from marketing incentive / reward / get paid to / paid survey (GPT) sites such as GreedyClicks. I have discovered several simple and little-known strategies, tips, and tricks for maximizing online marketing efforts:
1. Many search engines and indices (plural for index) will allow you to submit your whole referral or affiliate link (though most wont.) Most notably Google and MSN Live Search ( I knew someone that got his referral link for another site posted on the FIRST PAGE of Google and made a killing in referrals!) One quick way to test a search provider if you have been promoting your referral links for some time would be to do a search for your username (usually present at the end of your referral link) and see what the results show. Look for your own referral links listed in the search results. If your referral link shows in its entirety then you know to add that search provider to your list for periodically submitting all of your raw referral or affiliate links directly.
2. Buy or earn yourself a snappy new domain name and have it redirect (the whole domain) to your referral or affiliate link (you don’t even need hosting – just use domain forwarding.) Then promote your new domain to the search engines, indices, forums, and blogs. It helps not having the obvious referral link look. Cheap domain names start at just $1.99 or can be FREE if you know where to look (below):

3. Choose a referral banner that doesn’t give up the whole site URL (or edit/make your own.) Many people will (for some reason) choose to type in the URL manually if they have the benefit of knowing it rather that clicking upon an obvious referral link. Leave them guessing a bit (make it a bit of a mystery) as to what site the banner is speaking of. When speaking of sites in text, refer to them in a way that doesn’t obviously or intuitively disclose the URL (for example, if I was writing about www.GreedyClicks.com, I would say “Greedy Clicks” rather than “GreedyClicks”, or “GreedyClicks.com”.
4. Start blogging about your referral sites / links at Blogger. Blogger is Google based and I’ve found is your best chance at a popular blog with a great Google rank. I’ve noticed that Google regularly favors their own blogs based on their own blog site interface (and it doesn’t hurt to promote this blog to other search engines and indices as well.) Blogger will also host your blog for free seamlessly on your own domain. Another good blog site with max exposure is the eBay based blog. Make an eBay blog and promote it as well.
5. Regularly do a search, as if you knew nothing at all about the subject of the type sites you are promoting. See what pops up. Notice the first site on the list. Notice what they are doing right? …and what you may be doing wrong? (meta tags, keywords, description, etc.) Notice keywords, etc. Improve the quality, quantity, and newness of your textual content regularly. Be honest and open, don’t resort to superlatives and hype wording like “Go to this site and make $500 in an hour” and “fire your boss” (a big turn off and one of the reasons why people may leave your site early.) Morph your site into a closer rendition of the top site and re-submit (another step up the ladder?) …just common sense.
6. If you run your own referral sites… do your homework on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques (freely available all over the web.) Learn about the proper use of META TAGS, robots.txt, and sitemap files. If you are going to do it, do it right! Oh, and don’t use “frames” when building your site (they are not search engine/index friendly – don’t shoot yourself in the foot.)
7. Purchase professional web site promotional services and/or software that will automate your site submission efforts. Don’t get fooled by software / services that say they will promote your site(s) to 30,000 search engines, etc. Chances are 95% of those sites will be Free For All (FFA) sites which likely no human ever looks at (at one time FFA sites increased your “link popularity” – which mattered then – but all respectable search engines and indices have learned to ignore the FFA sites now – seeing their obvious abuse and non-consequence.) Anyways, what’s the point? Most FFA sites want you to manually confirm your entry nowadays (want 80 or 90 emails to respond to personally – go ahead and submit to useless FFA sites.)
8. Be persistent, but DON’T SPAM the search engines/indices. A good interval for me (with good luck) has been to submit at least once a month (but NOT more.) A lot of engines/indices will quickly add you to their trashcan if you bug them more (not a good place to be.)
9. Join a link exchange network (thousands out there.) This may help significantly depending upon the quality (interest generated – staying power) of your own site (compared to others in the network.)
10. Take over an already popular web site domain that has expired (get them cheap if you know where to look) and post your referral links / banners there. Enjoy instant popularity with the twist of people not knowing what hit them once they’ve arrived.
11. Think of a unique niche of people that might appreciate the product, service, or site you are promoting and post to forums covering that niche. …for example, people with some sort of social anxiety (such as agoraphobia, etc.) or other homebound people might want to learn about online money making from home sites , etc. Post to social forums covering that niche topic.
12. Double or triple the impact of your message forum posts by promoting your posts to the search engines and indices as well… Yes, after writing posts to a particular forum I always try to go back, gather the “permalink”s (or URLs) of the specific posts I wrote in notepad and spend a bit of time afterwards adding them to the search providers to crawl.

Considerations in Choosing the Right GPT Site to Join and Frequent
Below are my suggested criteria to consider when evaluating which GPT sites to join and frequent. Also included are obvious red flags indicative of potential sites with issues that should be avoided. These criteria (below) are listed in the order in which I, myself, prefer to choose my favorite sites – your “order” may differ depending on your own preferences and requirements:
- Site Stability, Honesty, & Financial Health / Backing
Sites that look great and have great advertisements with superlative headlines boasting that they are the best site may not necessarily be the best choice. I will do you little good to join a nice looking site, spending time earning to reach a significant internal account points balance only to find that you’ve ultimately been duped into a basically unsupported long-forgotten stagnant site that never pays out not matter what you do – chances are such a site is being milked by an administrator that:- has lost interest in the site and rarely bothers to take the necessary steps to pay its members but leaves the site standing in the hopes that one day seen he/she may again suddenly start to care; and/or
- is disorganized or incompetent resulting in incessant excuses, delays, partial payments, and general headaches from the member’s perspective to such an extent that the site is basically useless as a reliable source of income; and/or
- has become financially insolvent though he/she may have every intention of eventually paying the site’s members, never seems to have enough money when the time comes; and/or
- tends to delete accounts, steal from (reduce) the member’s account balance, never (or rarely) approve or credit member’s offer completions, or ban members when they have or are about to reach the minimum cash out requirement amount (playing dirty tricks); and/or
- is unscrupulous (fraudulent to a criminal extent) by allowing new members to join and present members to continue completing surveys and offers without any intention of ever paying those members for the work they have done while still collecting regular payments from the sponsors and pocketing it.
How can you tell if the site you are evaluating may suffer from stability issues? Look for red flags that may merit further investigation such as:
- Sites offering only private support options (a BIG tip off!) such as “contact us” forms or a private “support ticket” system while providing no publicly visible support such as a proper open support forum where gripes from present members can be openly read and evaluated (or having an open support forum but suppressing (deleting posts / banning complaining members) all gripes/complaints regularly; and/or
- Sites with an excessive amount of scam complaints posted elsewhere on the internet. Take the time to Google the site name and take a look at what others are saying about the site. Granted even the most legitimate and stable sites will inevitably have a few gripes out there from people who will never be satisfied (such as former members banned for fraud, etc.) or past issues that have been dealt with and solved but remain public because they reside within Google’s cached results or the original complaint had never been removed from the source web site; and/or
- Sites listed on GPTBoycott.com‘s Watch List or worse, Boycott List. GPTBoycott is an industry standard member complaint based voluntary pseudo-accreditation program offering trusted credentials to stable, paying sites while revoking credentials and publicizing issues related to sites with serious stability problems and those with documented allegedly fraudulent activities perpertrated on members. GPTBoycott publishes a list of programs supporting their efforts and also has a rather informative and popular open discussion forum.
