AdTitans added to PTS List
Posted by rabbit on June 25th, 2006
I joined Adtitans and added it to my Paid to Surf list this past week. This program has some controversy surrounding it as many believe that they are owned / operated by Phoenixsurf. It was the Phoenixsurf administration that first introduced the program to the world about 2 months ago. Their setup is also similar to the way Phoenixsurf was setup with a fast track option (for payment within 48 hours). A few days ago their fees for fast-tracking was raised to 9% across the board. This was done to stem the amount of members choosing the fast track option. According to the Edward the admin, their business model is based on 30% of members choosing the fast-track option, and right now a lot more members are doing this. Some folks are jittery about the change (and rightfully so given the shakeouts the past few weeks). However, I do not see the change as anything to worry about personally. I think it is a good thing that the admin is being proactive in making the program work. I also think it was a good thing for the admin to offer a refund to those who were no longer comfortable with the program as a result of the change (apparently 6 members took him up on the offer).
From my own checks with a source that claim to be in the know, AdTitans is not in anyway affiliated with Phoenixsurf. I also understand that the admins of Phoenixsurf and the AdTitans no longer have a good relationship with each other (sounds like a soap opera eh?). Still, Adtitans was able to grow its membership base at a rapid pace based on Phoenixsurf's original endorsement. At last check, they had over 11,000 members. Like Nowdollar, the admin of AdTitans is claiming that the program is backed (at least partially) by outside investments. The source that claim to be in the know also told me this, which is why I decided to join the program. I have given it a B rating for now.

I like yr blog it gives me a lot of useful information, I too lost in compact surf of $ 120, but that is how we live and grow learn and unlearn. I believe the money lost will be more worth than the experience i learn it will give me a better six sense.

Zulk it is never fun to learn money no matter what the amount. I am totally disgusted by these people running away like this. But then I realize that it goes with the territory …sigh. I wish there was something I could do to change this.
