August Prize Draw
This one got away again so we did a total of FIVE draws this time around. The winners were Peter Hechtermans, Jose Anchito Lacanaria, Angela Poole, Andrew Minshall and Mike Cosma, who all received one extra link slot, one extra banner and one extra login ad. This was Jose’s second visit to the winners circle, so it pays to checkout a couple of extra ads each time you login!
Checklist Reminder
We’ve had some great feedback on the new Account Checklist, but unfortunately most people are yet to activate it. I don’t want to nag everyone about this… but I’m going to! Most people here are only getting a fraction of the value from their AdCardz account that they could be. Many people still have AdBoards they could set up, and many of the existing AdBoards are only partially set up. The new Account Checklist will let you see what you’ve…
Missing Payment Preferences
One thing we did notice when importing everyone’s data to the new system, was that several people had no payment options set up at all. This means any of your visitors who try to create a paid AdCard will be getting stuck… unable to pay, so unable to complete the process. This hurts everyone here so we need to correct it ASAP. We’ve already modified the AdBoard Creation process, so that new AdBoards can’t be created until you save at…
AdCardz DFY Payment Processing Is Now Live!
We’ve just activated our new Done-For-You Payment Processing option for all AdCardz Members. If you choose to activate this, we’ll collect payments on your behalf for Add-ons and the OTO, and forward the proceeds on to you once a month. This uses Stripe Payments to offer your customers easy/instant card payments and gives everyone a simple option to accept payments with no technical set up or new accounts required. I’m pretty excited about this upgrade as I think it will…
All AdCardz Affiliates… and Owners!
We are currently in the process of moving the AdCardz affiliate program over to WarriorPlus. If you are sending traffic to Clickbank affiliate links, you should look to get those updated ASAP. We will be paying a higher commission in WarriorPlus, so it will be worth your while to swap to the new platform. AdBoard owners can save their WarriorPlus link in their Members Area, and we will redirect your referral traffic automatically. Any referrals you have made through the Clickbank…
Additional AdCardz Updates
First up, thanks for all the feedback on the new look Member’s Area. We’ve still got a lot we want to do, but your comments and support are all much appreciated, thank you. If you’ve missed it, I’d recommend you have a look once you’ve read this update… Account Checklist: We’ve now added a step-by-step checklist to help everyone get through the set up a whole lot faster and easier. You’ll also be able to see at a glance what…
AdCardz Affiliates – Action Required!
We’ve just moved the AdCardz Affiliate Program over to WarriorPlus. We’ve updated the packages and prices, and increased your commission, so it will be worth your time to read this and act on it ASAP! All AdBoard Owners should login and view the Affiliates Info page under the Resources menu. https://adcardz.com/Members/affiliates.asp You’ll find step by step instructions for requesting and saving your new WarriorPlus link. Once you save it on that page, we will automatically include it in your AdBoards,…
Server Updates
Hopefully you’ve already experienced this yourself, but just in case you missed it… we finally finished migrating our websites to the new server last week. Thanks for your patience with all the moves… it was a big job that mostly went quite smoothly, but where there were a few issues, we had a lot of quick input from Members and were able to get it all sorted quickly. Now that the move is done and dusted, we also loaded up…
AdCards Move & Updates
The website has now been moved and activated on the new server, so you will be shown to the new site as soon as the nameservers update around the network. Usually that’s an hour or two but it can take a bit longer in some places, so please be patient. When you next login, you’ll be shown to a new-look Member’s Dashboard. We’ve taken advantage of the move to update that for you, and to (finally) get started on some…
AdCardz Is On The Move
We’ll be moving AdCardz across to the new server tomorrow… Tues July 25th… so the Member’s Area will be unavailable for a few hours in the morning. This is the last of our website migrations, but it’s also going to be the most complicated, so it might take a little bit longer. As with our other moves, we’re doing our best to ensure minimal downtime for AdBoard owners, and it should be fairly seamless for other website users. We will…
EzAdz is on the move…
Just a heads-up that we’ll be migrating EzAdz to our new server first thing tomorrow morning… Tues 11th July, Australian time… so there might be a short downtime for some of your ads. The website move itself will be quite seamless, but we then need to reconnect a few of the third-party apps we use, which can only be done manually after the move. We’ve got everything well-tested and ready to go though, so I’m not expecting any issues. As…
File Uploads Are Back!
Apologies for the interruption… the problem here has been found and corrected, so image uplaods are good to go for site previews, banners, profile pics and offer images. Thanks for your patience!
File Upload Issues
Apologies everyone, but looks like the server move wasn’t as smooth as I’d hoped and we’re seeing issues with file uploads to the new location. I’ve been through it as best I can and can’t spot the problem, so I’ve reached out to the developer of our uploader components. Hopefully I’ll get some direction from him after the weekend and get this sorted first thing Monday. It was all working perfectly in the test environment, so I’m sure it’s something…
EzAdz is on the move!
You’ll probably be aware we’ve been migrating our websites to a new server over the last couple of months. This time around it’s EzAdz’ turn… and we’ve scheduled the move for Monday 10th July. This should be quite seamless for everyone, except for a short closure of the Member’s Area. Everything else will continue to function normally, and the site will redirect to the new server once the DNS records update. We will lock down the Member’s Area though, to…
Changes To Your Profile/Logo Images
A number of people were having issues with the hosted option for avatar/logo images, so we’ve just enabled on-site uploads for these. In hindsight, it’s a much simpler process that we probably should have used from the beginning… This change does mean however, if you’ve saved a profile image already, it will no longer be visible. You will need to upload it directly to EzHitzs. Please check this next time you login… thanks!
EzClix Is Live on The New Server
The server migration is now complete and the EzClix Members Area has reopened on the ‘new server. Everything went quite well and quite fast, so most people had access back within an hour of the update starting. If anyone is still being redirected to the old server (and getting the locked-out message on the login page) this will likely update for you as well shortly. Unfortunately we can’t control this… it’s just a matter of waiting until your ISP updates…
EzClix Is On The Move…
Please note that the EzClix Member’s Area will be unavailable for a few hours tomorrow while we migrate the website to a new server. The public-facing website will continue to function normally, but we’ll be locking-down the Members Area while we move the database, to ensure no one loses any work. Most members will be aware that we recently set up a new server to host our websites, starting with EzHitzs a couple of months back. That move went very…
EzHitzs Solo Ads Update
Now we’ve been back up and running for a little while, we’re starting to see some really good results from this feature. I’ll get to those in a minute though. First up though, I want to remind everyone that this system uses Udimi exclusively. This way it consistently generates the high quality leads that make it all work. A number of people keep trying to use other traffic here… Solos and PPC etc… but none of that is tracked or…
Warrior Plus / Stripe Payment Issues
We’ve made some progress on this issue now, on a couple of fronts… Firstly, we’ve now got a whitelisting option available on our Stripe Account, so we can ‘force’ Stripe to accept payments that they’d otherwise consider too high a risk. This only works is Stripe is the one blocking your payment though. If your bank is doing the blocking, we can’t help directly with that. If a payment is declined when funds are available, please check with your bank…
Monthly Prize Draw Winners
The May prize draw winners have been drawn and awarded… Mohammed Alquraishi and Colin Flook both have a full pro upgrade waiting for them on EzHitzs. This puts them in the pool for a lifetime of hands-free referrals, plus a number of other great benefits. Well done to everyone, this was our highest points total so far, so things are really moving along nicely!
EzBannerz is on the move…
Just a heads-up for anyone is trying to set up EzBannerz… the site will be unavailable for an hour or so today. The relaunch of EzHitzs has been putting a lot of extra traffic through the site, so we decided to move it to our newer server before it became an issue. Everything is done now, and the standard links will take you to the new server just as soon as our DNS details update. That’s usually 1-2 hours max,…
Viral Lightning / ETB Payment Issues
Unfortunately we’ve been seeing some issues with this program. This is the one where you need to either purchase the Easy Traffic Blueprint product, or send 5 referrals to activate your Viral Lightning account. It turns out the ETB vendor is having problems with Stripe and is currently unable to accept payments that way. He tells me he’s working on resolving it, but has no timeline on when that will happen. I’ve reached out to the Viral Lightning owner as…
A few more EzHitzs updates…
We’ve made good progress this week on the last parts of the Network Manager. Each of the sections should now be right to go, except the Referrals tab, which should be done later today… if all goes well. There’s a few items to check for if you missed it… Your Extended Profile is now right to go, (except for the Portrait Image). This information will be readily available to your referrals, so please take some time to make it good….
Need a better offer for your traffic?
We had a traffic site suggestion recently for an interesting marketing product called Blox 2.0. It’s been around for a few years already but it’s recently had a major update. While Blox is not really suited to our system as a traffic service, it does look like an excellent monetisation option for your EzClix Traffic. It turns out a few others thought the same thing, as I’ve now had a couple of emails from Members asking about it. So I…
