Promotional Period: February 8 - March 7, 2009

All RoyalSurf members, whether you are a brand new citizen, been here a week, a month or years, you are eligible for the prizes and bonuses occurring each of these four weeks.

I am excited to announce that we have several sponsors who are generously donating prizes (upgrades, e-books, etc) to be awarded during our big referral promotion as well. Please join me in thanking our sponsors for their generosity…

One of the best ways you can thank them is by being sure to join their programs if you aren’t already a member. For the traffic exchanges, there just might be some additional reasons why you want to join some of them.

Also, an email of “thanks” to them through their support I’m sure will be appreciated as well.

In no particular order…

Jon Olson, The Traffic Exchange Guy, owner and co-owner of several programs (here are only a couple)… I Love Hits, The Pizza Plan, Affiliate Funnel and “Hits, Clicks and Misses: The Traffic Exchange Experience” (A valuable read by the way)

William Brant, Owner of MaxTrafficPro and 13 Deadly Traffic Exchange Strategies

John Marks, Owner of eTraffic Freedom

Brett Philipps, Owner of the “New” Traffic Heroes

Scott Martin, Owner of Blue-Surf

Paul Conway, Owner of TrafficGoldRush

Guido Nussbaum, Owner of Traffic Witch

Here’s a hint you’ll appreciate… RoyalSurf and Blue-Surf (and perhaps some other surf) will be working together in the not too distant future and I’ll tell you, I’m pretty excited about what we are putting together for you. Sorry… I can’t say more than that yet but believe me you will want to be a member of Blue-Surf if you aren’t already.  So there’s no time like the present to join.

Okay, now to what this Big Referral Promotion means to you. Here’s a short synopsis of the benefits but you’ll have to keep reading to get the full scoop…

• You will earn $1 per active member you refer
• You will earn up to 75% commissions
• Surf 500 sites in the first week (all at once or spread it out) and you get a 100 credit bonus
• Each week you surf 500 sites you get a bigger bonus (up to 4 weeks in a row)
• Each week you surf your 500 you also become eligible for other prizes
• Reach the four week mark and new members and their sponsors receive cash in their RoyalSurf account and become eligible for even bigger prizes!

We have included some very special incentives for new members to “start” active and “stay” active. During the 4 week promotion, all members will enjoy a temporary increase in commissions as follows:

Royal Citizens (Free)
Upgrade Commission - Now 30%
Purchase Commission - Now 20%

Royal Squires
Upgrade Commission - Now 50%
Purchase Commission - Now 30%

Royal Knights
Upgrade Commission - Now 75%
Purchase Commission - Now 50%

Our members will earn $1 per active referral during the promotion as well.

Our new members who join during the promotional period, will receive an instant bonus of 25 traffic credits upon fully activating their accounts by surfing 25 sites, but the real opportunity to earn some really great bonuses begins immediately after our new members fully activate their accounts. Actually, the sites they surfed to get activated count too.

The following outlines activity that new surfers will be rewarded for over a 4 week period after they signup:

Week 1: If new member surfs 500 sites within 1st week of signup, they get 100 bonus credits and become eligible for that week’s drawing for some special prizes (upgrades, e-books, credits, cash, etc).

Week 2: If new member surfs 500 sites during 2nd week after signup, they get 125 credits and become eligible for that week’s drawing for some special prizes (upgrades, e-books, credits, cash, etc).

Week 3: If new member surfs 500 sites during 3rd week after signup, they get 150 credits and become eligible for that week’s drawing for some special prizes (upgrades, e-books, credits, cash, etc).

Week 4: If new member surfs 500 sites during 4th week after signup, they get…

a. an additional 200 credits

b. $2 ($3 if upgraded to Royal Squire, $5 if upgraded to Royal Knight) added to their account

c. entered in a special drawing for even bigger prizes

d. their sponsor gets an additional $1 added to their account

Important Note: All “New” member’s have 4 full weeks to participate and earn all bonuses identified above based on their signup day. This way, if a new member joins in the final week of our promotion they still have an equal chance to earn bonuses and win prizes. What this means is that while the official advertising for the promotion ends on March 7th, the activity for this promotion may continue an additional 4 weeks… that’s 8 weeks of bonuses, prizes, and traffic rewards for all our members.

Qualification Rules are listed further down but first let’s make sure that our loyal members who were part of RoyalSurf before this promotion began have not been left out.

The following outlines activity that these members will be rewarded for over the 4 week period of our promotion:

Week 1: If member surfs 500 sites within 1st week of promotion, they get 100 bonus credits and become eligible for that week’s drawing for some special prizes (upgrades, e-books, credits, cash, etc).

Week 2: If member surfs 500 sites during 2nd week of promotion, they get 125 credits and become eligible for that week’s drawing for some special prizes (upgrades, e-books, credits, cash, etc).

Week 3: If member surfs 500 sites during 3rd week of promotion, they get 150 credits and become eligible for that week’s drawing for some special prizes (upgrades, e-books, credits, cash, etc).

Week 4: If member surfs 500 sites during 4th week of promotion, they get 200 credits and are entered in a special drawing for even bigger prizes - drawing to take place when all “New” members who joined during promotional period have completed their 4th week (in other words, on the 8th week).

We have some rules that must be followed for the simple fact that we are giving away valuable prizes that include upgrades, traffic credits, and cash. These rules must be observed exactly as written unless we specifically amend them or you will be disqualified from receiving bonuses or prizes.

Qualification Rules:

1. Absolutely No Spamming Will Be Tolerated! The consequences of such is thoroughly covered in our Terms

2. You are not allowed to pay for signups.

3. Violations of our Terms and/or cheating in any form will result in accounts being terminated and all monies earned will be forfeit.

4. If someone you refer has their account suspended any monies earned from that referral will be removed as well, but no penalty will be imposed on the sponsor.

5. The exception to number 4 above is if we notice a pattern that many people referred by the sponsor ends up with their accounts suspended. This may result in the sponsor’s account being suspended and monies earned forfeited as well.

6. Member MUST surf 500 sites each week to continue to qualify for bonuses. If a week is missed you will NOT be able to qualify for the following week!

7. Member MUST claim their first bonus “within” 7 days of joining based on RoyalSurf’s server time - the 8th day it will NOT be counted so be sure to watch for server turnover which is based on Central Time. This is because beyond 7 days our system purges data.

Now that the referral contest period is over, we need to hear from any members who participated and wish to claim the prizes. Those are still pretty much up for grabs, since we have not heard from any of the participants yet.

And something that all members can appreciate, the surfing ratios have been raised. In spite of the fact that, with the dynamic surfing ratio and other ways to win credits in place, members actually earn more credits - even with the lower surfing credits rates that we had before - many members were complaining that they felt cheated by RoyalSurf. So the view to credit ratio was raised all across the board. Enjoy.

The Strength Bonus accreditation has been changed to 100 page views. So you must now surf 100 pages to receive that daily. If any of you did not get Saturday’s (12 April 2008) Strength Bonus, please know that this is why. The change will go into affect fully at server changeover this evening. So expect to see the full change this week, and prepare for it.

RoyalSurf continues to grow at a rapid pace. We are now over 11,500 members strong! And our daily page view average is still in excess of 56,000. So we are really doing pretty well. Keep up the good work, Loyal Citizens. We appreciate your efforts!

And one final note, actually two:

1) With the new site verification system in place, Royal Citizens (free members) are once again being allowed to check their own sites. So please do not wait on us to take care of that.

2) We now check the banners and text links for our Royal Citizens. We had too many members who were abusing those features, so the King had a checker installed that allows us to check those from the admin area.  While we do try to check the banners and links two or more times daily, we may not always get to yours as quickly as you think we should. Remember, we are human beings too. And we do not sit in front of our computers 24 hours a day seven days a week. So bear with us and we will get those checked just as quickly as we are able.

One side note here is that you cannot add impressions to a banner or text link until it has been approved. I promise, the system ain’t broke.

That’s it for now, Loyal Citizens. Now go check your sites, banners and text links. And assign those credits and impressions where needed.

It’s past time to once again welcome all the new citizens of our growing kingdom… you are now one among over 10,750 of your fellow Royal citizens.

Welcome one and all! Be sure to read all of this post and you will learn how you could earn gold from the King’s Royal Treasure, and other tidbits valued as much as gold.

There are many things that need to be related to you and so little room for it all. Rather than send you one giant missive, my scribe advises we send several different ones over the course of the next few days. He advises that you will tire of reading so much but my suspicion is that his hand doth tire of writing so much.

So, please forgive that you shall be receiving several missives over the course of these coming days. I’m sure you will find them useful to thy happiness as a Royal Citizen of this great and mighty kingdom.

1. Entering Web Site URLs at RoyalSurf

When entering your site URLs, please take note that by default the “http://” portion is supplied for you. If you are doing a Copy & Paste of your URL be sure not to duplicate the “http://” or your site will not be seen.

HINT: If you want to maximize your traffic delivery, enter each site’s URL multiple times so that it will appear in rotation more.

2. Web Sites on “Hold”

If your site is on “Hold” and you do not recall placing the Hold yourself, it could be that we did so for you because there “is” or “was” something wrong with the site. We often do this to protect our citizens from wasting their hard earned or purchased credits.

Test the site and if it loads properly, try to return it to “Rotating” yourself. Normally, you should be able to change the status yourself as long as the site has not be “Suspended.” If you cannot restore it yourself, please contact us to let us know.

Our system will also sometimes place a site on Hold if it detects that it’s not loading within a set amount of time.

3. Dynamic Surf Ratio

The surf ratio bonus you get for surfing 50 sites daily is more significant than ever as it has been QUADRUPLED! That’s right, your surf ratio bonus is now 4 Times more than it was.

The best part about the surf ratio bonus is that it continues to increase each day you surf at least 50 sites, Sunday through Saturday. The surf ratio bonus is tied to the Strength Bonus you receive toward the Joust game. So not only are you earning progressively more credits per click, your odds of successfully completing your Quests is increasing too.

This Double Bonus resets each week when the Joust tournament resets on midnight Sunday morning, but during the week, it continues to benefit you. So that if you miss one or two days mid-week you don’t lose the accumulated Strength Bonus/Surf Ratio Bonus that you have up to that point.

The surf ratios you can earn by using this feature are…

Royal Citizen: 5:2 - 3:2+ (Each pageview earns .4 to .7 credits)

Royal Squire: 3:2 - 5:4+ (Each pageview earns .66 to .9 credits)

Royal Knight: 1:1 - 4:5+ (Each pageview earns 1 to 1.3 credits)

NOTE: These ratios assume you are clicking on the bonus credits link that appears on the surfbar every 22 sites viewed.

If you play our Joust game, your overall surf ratio will be even higher. Each time you complete a Quest, win or lose, you earn credits.. as long as you follow directions and make sure you collect Bronze Coins before you complete each Quest.

IMPORTANT: No Bronze Coins Equals No Credits!

Each Bronze Coin is worth 5 credits each AND your bonus for winning a Quest is based on the number of Bronze Coins you find during that Quest. The more coins you find the higher your credits bonus will be when you win.

A pleasant side-effect of searching for Bronze Coins is that you will typically find more magic and as a result be more likely to win your Quest. Though, there always remains a chance that you can lose, more magic does improve your odds.

4. Refer New “Active” Members to Earn and Win Cash

Finally, what you’ve been waiting for… to know how you can get your share of the King’s gold. This contest and opportunity starts Immediately and ends April 10, 2008, at 6:00 pm Eastern time.

a. Easy Part - Earn 50 Cents per New Referral

Every person you refer to RoyalSurf who fully activates their account by surfing 50 or more sites, will earn you $0.50. This will be automatically added to your RoyalSurf cash account the instant your referral fully activates their account.

b. Challenging Part - You and Your Referral Can Win $20 Each

This part of our referral contest has a 2 fold purpose:

(1) Help you Bring in new “Active” members thus earning more residual traffic for you from their surfing activity, and possibly cash rewards if they upgrade and/or purchase credits

(2) Help you establish valuable contacts, friendships, business relationships, and partnerships

For you to participate in this contest, you will need to become more active than perhaps you normally would with those your refer. You will need to be in contact with the person you refer to encourage them and coordinate activity in a way that could pay off in the way of $20 and lots of bonus credits for both you and your referral.

We will be awarding up to $400 in Prizes in $20 increments to 20 different members who qualify and enter this contest.

That’s 10 different prize groups with $20 going to the referrer and $20 going to the referred member.

To be entered to win, your referral must surf a total of 2400 sites before the end of our contest. This can be earned over all 30 days, 20 days, 12 days, or 5 days. It doesn’t have to be every day just so long as your referral completes 2400 sites by the end of the contest.

For each referral you have who does this, you are entered into the contest along with the referral who helped you qualify.

Just in case the possibility of winning $20 cash isn’t enough to motivate both you and your referral, we are going to give you each bonus credits for reaching certain surf thresholds. These bonus credits are in ADDITION to those you receive normally from surfing and playing our game.

This only pertains to “New” referrals starting from now through the contest end. It does NOT apply to referrals you had prior to the start of this contest.

If your referral surfs equivalent to 80 sites a day, in other words, 560 sites a week, we will award your referral 250 bonus credits. AND, if you match your referral during the same week, we will give you 250 bonus credits as well.

However, if your referral does not qualify for the bonus credits, you can’t get it either. Additionally, you are limited to only ONE 100 bonus credits award per week no matter how many of your referrals qualify.

We are predefining the weeks as follows:

* 12-18 March ending at 6:00 pm Eastern time
* 19-25 March ending at 6:00 pm Eastern time
* 26 March - 1 April ending at 6:00 pm Eastern time
* 2-8 April ending at 6:00 pm Eastern time

This means by 6:00 pm Eastern time on the final day of each week, your referrals (and you if you wish to participate) must have surfed 560 sites AND you must email this fact, along with
both your username and your referrals’ usernames to spt@royalsurf.com.

It’s very important, that you understand not only must the surfing be complete but that we receive your email no later than 6:00 pm Eastern time on the final day of each week as defined above. After 6:00 pm Eastern time you will be disqualified for that week.. and take note, we are not responsible for emails sent but not received.

The email may come from you or your referral, as long as it contains the correct information and is before the deadline.

Alright, this has still turned into a huge post, even though I’ve left so much out, so it is time to end this. I want to once again welcome all our new members and thank all of you who have been helping us grow. You are what makes RoyalSurf a great and fun place to advertise.
