Say bye bye to Norton Antivirus
Hi,
Today I have a non-web-marketing story, but because it's yet another story about how software companies try to chase away their customers, I thought you might be interested to read it.
I don't like viruses on my PC, so I bought (yes BOUGHT) Norton System Works 2003. Some weeks ago my dear friend Bill G. sent me XP SP2 (for free!).
After updating Microsoft® Windows® XP to Service Pack 2, the message "Your computer might be at risk. Your virus protection status is unknown" appears periodically. Just frequently enough to make me stinking nervous. Imagine you think you're safe and then suddenly a little devil jumps out of the black right before your face :"I've GOT YOU!!! Huaaaahhh!"
I thought that Symantec would have a solution for this: I missed again ... (my sense of failure goes far beyond web marketing).
When I started looking at
the support pages of Symantec I indeed discovered that they knew there was a problem. But as I understood their message: it's not really their problem, it's just of problem of their clients, and what do they hate their clients.
This is what they say:
"
Will this be fixed? Symantec is planning an update, which will be available by LiveUpdate. The update allows the Windows Security Center to correctly identify the status of your Norton 2002/2003 security products and give you the option of configuring how Norton security products and the Windows Security Center alerts you. When the update is available, this page will be updated." This message is now for more than 2 weeks on their site. I've asked about 10 times about their planning, no response.
But even without their answer I know what their update (if it should come one day) will do, it will simply send a fake signal to XP security center telling all is running well, even if it isn't. That's how Symantic works.
On my other PC I have installed
Avast virus scanner: it's free, it works and no bogus. So I say bye bye to Symantec.
Eric
PS: I give a free ebook to every one who can find the support email address of Symantec.
SafePartner saves your site.
Hi,
By now you should know me, and also by now I should have been stinking rich. Unfortunately I have not yet succeeded to hit the jack-pot, how hard I have tried, no success so far. But yes, I'll keep on trying. In case you want to start a similar experience as I did, then I can give you some advice (for free): Stay away from
SafePartner.com
I bought their Bronze package of 10.000 page views, $8.99 out of my pocket.
Result nihil (for those who don't understand nihil means zero, null, nothing, ...)
When I checked their FAQ I was surprised to read:
"
11. IMPORTANT: Because different tracking systems measure traffic differently, we will go ONLY by our tracking system to measure the total amount of visitors we have delivered to your website. "
Read: we don't even promise page views, we only promise that
our stats will indicate that you have received 10.000 visitors . So you should not worry that your hoster complains that you receive to many hits, this will not occur with SafePartner, you're completely safe, not one visitors will be able to mesh around on your site, or spoil your stats.
I like these guys.

Black Hole discovered
Hello,
I think I have made a most spectacular discovery: I have discovered a Black Hole on the web! For those who are not familiar with stellar matters: a black hole is a kind of giant waste bin, everything that you put in, disappears and will never ever re-appear. Gone for ever.
Well I found such a Black Hole on the web, yes, indeed on the web. It's called "
adblaster".
"AdBlaster submits automatically and instantly to over 1000 Advertising Networks and 2,500,000+ Websites and Engines across the net, day after day, throughout the year !"
And of course, Captain Eric on Star ship Web Explorer 1, has tested this wonderful tool (to go boldly go where none has gone before...).
I have been firing day after day for about 6 months dozens of ads into cyberspace. Yet it remained quiet from the other site: all my ads must have disappeared in a giant Black Hole somewhere in the web. Most probably it will explode one of these days, and then you’ll see my wonderful ads like falling stars blink on the web. I’m looking forward to this explosion.
Captain Eric, beam us up Scotty.

Premium traffic, nada Sales
Hello,
Once more I couldn't resist the incredible offer: "10000 English Language Premium Visitors Targeted Jewelry 30 DAY visitors" from adbuytraffic.com for the price of $20.
Not only do you get 10000 visitors, you also get lots of free ebooks.
Whow, I like free ebooks because you don't have to read them, cause you know they only contain bullsh-t. (If you want some free ebooks check
here)
So when I checked my stats, I saw the hits coming in. Yes, HITS, not one single visitor. My web logging systems counts the pages for each visitor, and indeed an average of ZERO pages seen by 'visitors' coming from adbuytraffic. (I think these visitors came from Mars or so, cause they didn't leave any trace).
Anyhow, gone are my 20 bucks, and sales ? Alas, none.
Eric
Shalom Peace be with You
Hello,
I'm desperate.
I've been working hard to get traffic to my site (with success!) but even with lots of traffic I'm not selling a single piece. Not a dime comes in (lots of dimes went out to all these wonder traffic generators).
So what do you do when you're desperate? You become religious again, you direct your questions to the Lord him self. And so did I.
Well not directly to the Lord but to ShalomAutoHits - the Automatic Traffic Generator for Peace of Mind! What I like the most is 'For Peace of Mind', please don't read peace of your mind. The only thing that stays peaceful is your site: it will not be disturbed by a singles sales.
Oooooh Lord is it my curse to fail? To build failure upon failure? Please give me sign (eg. some sales on my web site) that you have not abandoned your humble servant. Amen.
I'm curious if this pledge will work ...
See you in web heaven,
Eric
1MillionVisitors
Hello,
Have you seen the stampede on the web? These are the 1 million visitors send to my site by my dear friends from
1MillionVisitors .
Well I hope these 1 million visitors are on their way to my site. So far I have only seen about 2.800 coming from 1MV in the past 3 months. Maybe I have to put up some additional signs to show people the way to my site: "Hey this way, here is my site, oehoe, OVER HERE !!"
I surfed (well to be honest I put my computer in autosurf during the coffee breaks ...) about 14.800 pages on 1MV, and in return some other computers in auto surf visited my site: 3 pages for 1 page. A fair deal isn't it: how to be productive during your coffee breaks.
Yet, my sales didn't go up. So I suppose the system is not perfect yet, not sure where the pitfall is.
But you know me by now: I will not give up.
And in case you want to speed up my Make Me Rich program, don't hesitate, it's

I am disappointed
Yes dear friend, I'm disappointed.
After my last blog, I really had hoped to be by now a multi billion dollar billionaire. But you let me down... (violins please) ... snif snif ... Hour after hour I checked my paypal account, and ... nothing, not a single penny. Yes the world can be cruel to people like me. Nobody wants to support me. HOW DO YOU THINK I CAN BECOME A MILLIONAIRE IF YOU KEEP ON SITTING ON YOUR MONEY?
But I will not give up. No tomorrow I'll try 1milliondollarhits.com, this will work, and then I'll laugh with you POOR GUYS.
Eric, multi billion dollar billionaire in spe.

Dollar Empire or maybe dollar village ...
Hello friends,
By now I think I can call you friends (watch your wallet ...) ...
Today my experiences with a mind blowing easy get rich scheme: Rob a bank !
No, serious, I will share you my deepest feelings about
Dollar Empire.
http://www.knowhowshop.com/traffic/dollar_empire.htm
How it works:
You buy a website copy of Dollar Empire, you pay $2.95 to the owner of this copy and $1.95 set-up fee to the inventor of this scheme (His Royal Highness Emperor Quazolou 1st).
In return you get a copy of the website and you can start selling this page to other idiots. (Did I said idiots? Shame on me)
Does it work?
To my BIG SUPRISE: YES, in no-time I sold 4 copies of my copy of the DE-website. So I earned 4x$2.95-$2.95 -$1.95= $6.9. Or
a R.O.I. of 240%, BE MY GUEST!
I'm now looking for some State or Country I can buy to become His Royal Highness Emperor Eric 1st.
If you have some tips, please send me the info (you know what my budget is).
Eric
