Mike's Notes and Ramblings
5 July 2008
Hello to you all,
Hello from sunny (yet cold) Brisbane. It has been an interesting week, not one that I want to repeat very often. I was down with a cold for most of the week so if my replies have been slow or garbled please forgive me. I am on the improve now so things should pick up.
Our membership is growing steadily and I am happy with where we are sitting at the moment. Our page views are increasing, but more importantly than that, it is not one or two super surfers that are doing it. There a quite a number of members surfing average amounts which gives you more sets of eyes looking at your web site and much better coverage for your ads.
It is just under a week now until some major changes happen in River of Traffic. An overview of the changes appears in the sections below. As I have mentioned before, these changes are to facilitate in the sustained growth of River of Traffic so that everyone benefits. Please read the outline below

Important notice: The above changes come into effect at midnight July 18 2008 Australian Eastern Standard Time. All current free (bronze) and trial pro members have the opportunity to gain the lifetime basic pro level free of charge by submitting a support ticket requesting it BEFORE the change over deadline. For the trial pro members the basic pro will come into effect after the trial pro period finishes. Anyone wishing to upgrade to basic pro after this friday at midnight will need to pay the fee. All current paid subscriptions will continue unchanged.
Remember we are up to a day ahead of some of you so it would pay not to leave it until the last minute, you may be too late.
Current Specials
We currently have a special on all purchased web site hits, banner, or text impressions. When you buy a quantity of the above items, we will match the quantity 2 for 1. There is no limit to the amount you purchase or the amount of times you purchase. In other words if you buy 500 we will give you 1000 extra, if you buy 10,0000 we will give you 20,000 extra. This will be done manually so please allow up to 24 hours for your bonuses to be added. This promotion will end midnight July 18, same time as the above changes
Until next time...
Happy Surfing,
Mike
