How I change my Adsense payee name to get paid through Western Union

by drizad on October 9, 2007

I registered my Adsense check name as “Ruhaizad Daud” and have been receiving my monthly checks for the past 1 year, and I don’t have any problem with clearing the check through my Maybank2u.com account.

Until recently when Google Adsense announced that they are going to start paying publishers through Western Union, I was really excited as I don’t have to wait for 4 weeks anymore for the payment to get cleared!

If you’re serious about growing your online blogging business

by drizad on July 3, 2007

If you have been into internet marketing long enough, I bet you must have heard about Rich Schefren. I downloaded his latest report on Attention Age Doctrine. It really blew up my mind when I read about:

  1. How most of internet marketers failed nowadays NOT because of lack of information, but because of OVERLOADED and CONFUSED with all the information that are available in the internet.

Agloco Viewbar is on!

by drizad on June 7, 2007

At last… The long waited Agloco Viewbar is now available for download. There were mixed review about Agloco, some of it were negative, and some positive. The reviews were mostly based on previous performance of so-called the “original” Agloco, few years back, which were not so positive.

However, I downloaded and installed it anyway. I will run it for a certain period of time, and test it. Hopefully this rebranded and reformed new “Paid to Surf” program will do better and have learned from their mistakes in the past.

Successful money transfer from PayPal to my E*Trade account

by drizad on May 30, 2007

Unending (or non ending?) challenge for Malaysian citizen who have (have to!) PayPal account – unable to withdraw the money from PayPal account directly – unless they do either:

  1. Have an E*Trade Brokerage account.
  2. Use Virtual Money Inc. debit card.

And to make it even worse, lately, PayPal have reviewed back the account which connected to VMI debit card. It seems that PayPal claimed that VMI is not a financial institution, and PayPal sniffed that most of Asian countries which is not certified and high fraudulent rate (like Malaysia) use it to take their money out. Hmmm…. it makes our life even more difficult eh?

I received my Platinum Visa Debit Card from E*Trade

by drizad on May 24, 2007

I received 3 parcels from FedEx couple of days back, which was separately loaded with 2 Platinum Visa Debit Card and 1 PIN number. I was really surprised, as I expect to receive the parcels in a month. But E*Trade send it in just 5 days!!!

I load USD4.50 on my E*Trade brokerage account from PayPal before I requested them to send me the card. It seems that the regulation for you to have USD1000 in the account before you can get the card is not quite correct. You CAN get the card although you only have less than USD10 in the account.

by drizad on May 20, 2007

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

Get paid to surf with Agloco!
Get paid to surf with Agloco!

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

Can Bidvertiser replace Adsense?

by drizad on May 5, 2007

Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser
Well, we actually have an obvious answer. Adsense is the gold standard of Pay Per Click advertisement campaign for almost any website. However, I just would like to highlight few Bidvertiser features that might be attractive to you!

  1. Good as an alternative and maybe replacement to Adsense, if you happen to be blacklisted by Google.
  2. The pay per click cost seems to be higher in some of the selected campaign theme that is run by Bidvertiser.

by drizad on February 16, 2007

I received an email from E*TRADE Hong Kong this morning, informing me about their Chinese New Year Customer Service Hours. Ironically, I have not get any formal reply from E*TRADE US about my application, which I sent 9 months ago. So, basically, I am in their database as one of their customer, but I did not get my account number and user ID.

MyeMoney – Change your Paypal money to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)

by drizad on February 10, 2007

It’s known that if you have money in Paypal account, and you are Malaysian, its difficult (almost impossible) for you to cash your money out. I have been using Paypal for the past 1 year, and I have to buy something in the net so that I get some benefit from the so called ‘frozen money’. It was not until I found a website owner which kind of ‘trade’ our Paypal money. His name is James, and he run the website http://www.myemoney.biz/
