Royal Messenger to the Kingdom

18-20 November 2008

A RoyalSurf, you will automatically earn $1 per new referral who activates their account simply by surfing 50 sites. Your new referrals earn a HUGE Bonus of 50 sites for their first 50 sites surfed during this time.

Additionally, we’ve tweeked the One-Time Offers too so we expect higher conversions to bring more commissions to our members too… up to 50% depending on your membership level.  HINT: Now’s a great time to upgrade!

If you want to rake in the cash during Referral Mania, I suggest you use our customized splash pages and utilize the customizable aspects to your advantage. Better still, I’m sure you will experience even better results by creating your own splash page using SplashPageMaker.

It was quite entertainingly to read the guesses of the good citizens of RoyalSurf. I’m not sure why so many citizens concentrated their guesses along the East Coast, but those guesses were way off base. Not a single soul guessed thy king’s birthplace… not even the state thy king was born in.

There were two citizens who guessed the day of birth and six others who were all within one day, making them tied for third place.

Ties were broken based on who guessed a birth location closest to the actual birthplace. The closest among these was 692 miles off, whereas most guesses were off on average, more than 950 miles.

And the winners are…

1st Place of a One-Year membership upgrade to Royal Knight (worth over $155) goes to Citizen katyscooter1… she correctly guessed the King’s birthday of October 12th and was closest to his birthplace

2nd Place of a Six-Month membership upgrade to Royal Knight goes to Citizen palmtree… she correctly guessed the King’s birthday but wasn’t quite as close to the birthplace

3rd Place of a Three-Month membership upgrade to Royal Knight goes to Citizen mburch… she guessed October 13th, and her birthplace guess was closer than the others

Your Royal Knight membership upgrade brings you many great benefits, such as…

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to all citizens who participated!

As you surf RoyalSurf Traffic Exchange this All Hallows Eve, October 31st, you may come upon the chance to choose between 3 Creepy Crypts.  This will appear on the usual prize pages that rotate regularly through the course of normal surfing…

But, what is normal on this eve…

If you dare to claim this prize, you will receive 20 RoyalSurf Traffic credits.

You may keep them…

OR…

Trade them for what’s within 1 of 3 Creepy Crypts… IF YOU DARE!

Behind these Creepy Crypts are ghouls, ghosts and foul creatures that will steal your every traffic credit…

There are 7 ghastly outcomes that may befall you…

1. You find nothing but bones and cobwebs, and narrowly avoid stepping in the Royal Poo… hmmm…. why is that here?

2. You find but 5 scattered traffic credits… this Creepy Crypt’s already been robbed!

3. You find a poor pauper with but 10 traffic credits… go ahead… he won’t miss them

4. You find a man… strangely twisted and recently killed… obviously a despicable Creepy Crypt Robber… clutching 50 traffic credits… but what killed him and how?

5. You find a fortune of 250 traffic credits… go ahead… take them… you Creepy Crypt Robber!

6. You find 7 shiney golden Royal Coins… but where’s the body… and what’s that shuffling sound behind you… and who’s hand is that on your…

7. You find 15 tarnished and ancient Royal Coins… tightly clutched in the now fleshless hands of the corpse… as you wrench the coins away you hear and feel the fingers snapping… when the skeletal corpse raises up reaching for you!

How to Play:

If you claim the 3 Creepy Crypts prize page while surfing at RoyalSurf, then place a comment to this post and include:

1. Your RoyalSurf Traffic Exchange Username

2. State whether you wish to keep your 20 traffic credits or risk them in trade, knowing you may get nothing in return?

3. If you wish to trade, state which do you wish to trade for. What’s behind Creepy Crypt #1, Creepy Crypt #2 or Creepy Crypt #3?

You may post once for each time you claim a 3 Creepy Crypt prize page!

We will respond here and tell you the results of your choices.  The results will be decided randomly using a random generator.

Surf just 30 sites today, October 31st, and then make a comment to this post including your RoyalSurf Traffic Exchange username, and I shall grant you the treat of a 24-hour upgrade to Royal Squire!

If you are already upgraded to either Royal Squire or Royal Knight, I shall grant you 30 free credits.

Do NOT forget to include your RoyalSurf username or I cannot treat you anything.

For another treat…

I shall pick the best comment made to any portion of this blog to receive the treat of either $5 Cash or 1,000 RoyalSurf traffic credits — winners choice! Make a comment appropriate to what you find on the blog, that has value other and is of interest to others to read, and you can win. 

If there are no such comments made, there will be no treat.

This offer passes quickly… with the passing of the Jack-O-Lantern.  When you login to RoyalSurf, you will see a Jack-O-Lantern in your members area.  When the Jack-O-Lantern fades away… your time shall pass.  It will pass from this world sometime on the eve of November 1st.

The King

Guess The King’s Birthday and Birthplace
Thy king hath a birthday during October and it is thy undertaking to guess what day. Ye need only guess the numeric day and do not need to guess the year, for I will not reveal the year other than to say I’ll be 38 again. We shall not discuss how many times I’ve been 38.

To break any possible ties, ye need to also guess where thy king was borne; it is a city and state within the United States.

What do ye win?

Closest guess wins a One-Year Upgrade to Royal Knight!

Second closest guess wins a Six-Month Upgrade to Royal Knight!

Third closest guess wins a Three-Month Upgrade to Royal Knight!

Ye may guess any time during the month of October.

Thy First Guess is Free.

Each citizen can guess up to 4 more times but Each Additional guess will Cost ye 500 credits. The credits will be removed immediately when we receive your guess and will NOT be returned if you don’t win. This way ye can guess multiple times but it helps control the number of entries we receive from nearly 16,000 citizens.

You may include all of you guesses in one email if you wish to.

To enter:

1. Email thy entries to: spt @ royalsurf.com

2. Enter “King’s Birthday/Birthplace” for the email Subject

3. In the body of the email include:

a. Guess of numeric Birth Day:
b. Guess of Birthplace (City and State):
c. Your username

4. If submitting guesses 2-4 make sure you have 500 credits in your account for each guess ye are submitting. If credits are not included your guess won’t count. Again, credits will be removed as soon as we record thy guess.

We will acknowledge your guess(es) within 3 days. If ye don’t receive acknowledgment within 3 days please let us know.
