Royal Messenger to the Kingdom

Congratulations are in order for the following members who won credits in the daily drawings on the dates shown:

Login, surf and find out.

And something else worthy of note: We now have the Hits Connect Site checker on RoyalSurf. What does this mean to you? We’ve begun allowing Royal Citizens to approve their own sites again. So they no longer have to wait for the King, me or one of my staff to handle that.

We have, however, set it up so that text links and banners must be approved by one of us. Seems we had too many naughty citizens who were submitting text links and banners that were against the Terms of Service. Go figure.

Happy Easter, to those who celebrate!

We increased all member surf ratios for the weekend only:
* Citizens: up from 0.40 to 0.54 credits per page viewed
* Squires: up from 0.66 to 0.76 credits per page viewed
* Knights: up from 1.00 to 1.10 credits per page viewed

Check out our earlier posts Here, Here and Here to learn about our daily surf contest and $400 referral contest.

You only have to surf 50 sites in a day to qualify in our surf contest running through April 10th so be sure to spend a few minutes to surf each day.

It’s Easter weekend and so we’ve made this weekend extra special at RoyalSurf.

1. We’d like to see a whole lot more banners and text links in rotation, so all this weekend you will find that your conversion of credits to impressions has been greatly increased:

Citizens: 65 impressions per credit
Scribes: 80 impressions per credit
Knights: 100 impressions per credit

2. For every webpage you show us that you’ve added our banner exchange code to, we’ll give you 2,000 banner impressions. Let us know what banner you want them assigned to.

3. Weekly StartPage Rotation Sale: Only $39.97 - Limited availability so hurry. We’ll throw in 10,000 each of banner AND text link impressions. Just let us know which banners and links to assign your impressions to.

4. Purchase any credits package and we’ll add 20% extra credits PLUS 20% in BOTH banner and text link impressions.

And here are our Winners of the Daily Surf Contest:

Congratulations to all of you. The King has added your credits to your accounts. Be sure to go and Login to RoyalSurf now and assign those to your sites.

Now, more than ever, is the time to make RoyalSurf part of your normal weekly surf routine… you will be glad you did.

That’s it for this time. Stay tuned. There are more exciting things to come in the near future.

Along with our $400 Referral Contest, during which you can win cash and surf bonuses for both yourself and your referrals, we are adding another great daily surf bonus!

But first, I want to let you know we’ve greatly improved the surf bonus you can earn in our referral contest.  Be sure to read about our $400 Referral Contest that ends 10 April 2008 for all the details.

Now, for this new special surf contest…

We want you to learn for yourself just how beneficial surfing RoyalSurf on a consistent basis can really be to your goals and success. The post prior to this explains the many great routine bonuses you can earn at RoyalSurf but reading is not the same as experiencing, is it?

Contest Dates:  Every Day 21 Mar 08 - 10 Apr 08

Qualification:  View Minimum of 50 Sites

Number of Winners:  Three (3) Randomly Choosen Daily

Prizes:  1st - 500 credits, 2nd - 300 credits, 3rd - 150 credits

You may win multiple times.

RoyalSurf has many surf bonuses (credits and cash) that you can earn each and every day, and you don’t have to surf your life away to earn them either.

Our daily surf bonuses are easy to earn. No special hoops to jump through… just surf as you normally would, watch for links that display, and if you choose, play our Joust game.

1. Watch for text link bonuses appearing on our surfbar:

    a.  Credits bonus links worth at least 4 credits, appear every 21 sites that you view. You must click on these to get the bonus so be sure to keep your eye out for them.

     b. Cash bonus links worth at least $0.01, usually appear every 30 - 50 sites viewed. However, our Credits bonus links and the Joust game pages take presedence if their display happens to come up on the same number of sites viewed.

2.  If you view just 50 sites in a day, you receive both a Strength Bonus and a Surf Ratio Bonus.  This bonus comes only once per day and is automatically awarded once you view 50 sites.  Every page you view after this  bonus is awarded earns you more credits for the remainder of your surf week (ending midnight Sunday morning, Eastern time).  The bonus is reset back to zero each week, but during the week your surf ratio increases each day that you surf at least 50 sites.

Your increasing Strength Bonus helps you successfully complete game Quests.

3. By playing the game Quests that display after every 15 sites viewed, can earn you a lot of bonus credits. The key to remember is that your credits bonuses from the Quests are based on the number of Bronze Coins you find. There are 10 Bronze Coins to every Quest and each one is worth at least 5 credits to you.  If you win your Quest, you receive an additional bonus which is based upon the number of total Bronze Coins you found.

Important: If you don’t take the time to find at least 1 Bronze Coin, then your credits bonus will be a big fat zero (0). :(

4. Complete all 10 Quests for a chance to be one of 25 winners in our Joust Tournament for an additional credits bonus of anywhere from a few 100 credits to several 1000 credits, depending on overall surf activity for the week. 

Our Joust Tournament is designed so anyone can play and win, and not just the mega-surfers.  The criteria to place highest in the tournament is based first on number of Quests successfully completed, second on least number of defeats, and then if there is a tie, on the number of sites viewed.

5.  Surf 200 sites during the week and play our Joust game (by making moves on the Quest gameboards, and you could winner a few 100 bonus credits.

Each week, our system automatically picks 20 members who surfed at least 200 sites during the week and played our game, but who didn’t place among the Joust Tournament’s 25 winners, and awards them on average between 150-350 credits (depending on surf activity).

This is to thank our members for supporting RoyalSurf and to show we value all our members who participate.

We’ve noticed that occasionally some other traffic exchanges reduce their timers as a reward and incentive to their members. Some of these exchanges are rather popular and their members appear to enjoy the reduced timer countdown from time to time. So, we thought we’d give it a shot for a few days and see what our citizens think of the idea. We definitely want to hear what you have to say about this subject, because we love to hear from our loyal subjects. Let us know whether you like it or not, and don’t hesitate to elaborate as to why you hold such an opinion.

Wow! With so many things happening, I almost forgot altogether that we’ve also added a website rotator to RoyalSurf that is personalized with your name and your photo. You will find a new link in your Members Area called Thy Rotators. Your name will be automatically pulled from your account to be put on your rotators. To add your photo, click on Promote Us then look for the link that reads These Splash Pages Are Customizable and click on that link. That is where you add the URL for your photo. The maximum size is 80×80 for any photo you enter, though it will appear smaller on the rotator.

Thanks to all of our great citizens, our kingdom grows ever larger each and every day. Our citizens now number over 10,900 and we expect this pace to quicken as more of you realize what a great referral contest we have going on through April 10th.

Over $400 in cash prizes are up for grabs, not to mention the fact that during the contest, you can earn $0.50 for each “active” referral.  This means that your referrals have to fully activate their accounts by surfing at least 50 sites before the end of the contest. 

There are lots of chances to win and great incentives to help you bring in new citizens to the kingdom. That’s because we are giving away 10 prizes of $20 for both the referrer and the referral.  That’s right, $20 for each of you but naturally there are some qualifying factors. After all, we want new citizens who will participate in the kingdom not just take up space.

The details of the contest and weekly bonus credits that can be earned are in the previous update. So be sure to get familar with the requirements and then grab your share of over $400 cash!  If you get busy with this referral contest it could very well pay you dividends for months and even years to come.

Onto other important topics:

1. RoyalSurf Free Media Player for Music, Videos, Radio and Games

We want to share with you our brand new custom media player that’s absolutely free for your download and enjoyment.  Listen to your favorite music, watch video clips, play games, or listen to more radio stations than is available on satellite.. and it will never cost you a penny! You’ll find a link to our very cool customized media player to the right. 

Please feel free to download it and share it with family and friends, and let us know how you like it.  I’m certain you’ll love it as much as we do!

2.  New RoyalSurf Splashpage and Banner

This new splashpage and banner has already been in use for some time now but we just never got the word out to you before.  Look for them in your members area under the Promote Us link so you have your proper referral id associated with them:

I Love RoyalSurf - You Will Too Splashpage

3. StartPage Advertising Sale

Now is a great time to take advantage of our great StartPage advertising where your site is the first site seen by every RoyalSurf member for an entire week. Especially right now while we are running a special promotional price of just $39.97 for a full week of unlimited pageviews.  The discounted price itself is reason enough to grab your slot quickly, but on top of that, you’re likely to get more fresh eyes viewing your site due to the referral contest that’s running right now. Just login to your Members Area and click on the Buy Credits link to select your week.

4. A Page Says I Don’t Have Credits Assigned

This feature ensures that all members are “exchanging” traffic, so that there are always plenty of sites to view. More importantly, it helps ensure steady traffic flow because if too many citizens horde their credits then traffic delivery slows down.

Please read the page displayed and it will tell you exactly what to do. Essentially, you cannot surf if you are not exchanging traffic. Such is the case if:

a. All of your sites are awaiting verification. Royal Citizens must await Admin approval, which normally occurs within 24 hours. Please contact us if your site hasn’t been verified within 24 hours (please allow a little extra time on weekends or holidays as occasionally we do like to spend some time with our families).

This helps reduce the number of frame-breakers and sites that otherwise violate our rules from being introduced in the first place. Most of our members are trustworthy citizens who always observe the rules, but unfortunately, there are always some who insist on ignoring our rules.

b. You have all of your sites either Suspended or on Hold. You can normally change a site on Hold to Rotating yourself, but if you find that you cannot, please contact us.

c. You have less auto-assigned than your required minimum.  For instance, if you are a Royal Citizen your auto-assign percentage is 75%. In that case, if you have less than a total of 75% assigned to sites whose status is “Rotating” then you will not be able to surf.

The key is that the total percentage must equal (or exceed) the minimum required for auto-assign AND the sites must have a status of “Rotating.” If a site’s status is anything other than Rotating then its auto-assign percentage does NOT count toward the minimum percentage that you must have Rotating.

Your website name should not contain any spaces or special characters, otherwise an error message will be displayed.

NO. Your privacy is important to us. We will not give anyone’s email address to anyone!

Various domains are set up to break out of frames when viewed. Some email domains do not receive email properly. If a domain causes a violation of our Terms of Service, it has been added to our banned Domains list.
