Well, it is that time again. A time when we end one year...and begin anew. We here at Black Cat Enterprises would like to wish each and every one of our friends a very Happy New Year. May this new year bring you all the health and happiness that you deserve.

To help welcome in the new year, I would like to announce our New Year's membership drive promotion. Starting on January 1st, 2008: the top three members who bring in the most referrals to LetsGetSomeTraffic.com, will get credits as follows:



1st Place: 5000 Credits
2nd Place: 3000 Credits
3rd Place: 1000 Credits




This promotion will run to at least January 31st, 2008...but we may keep it active on a monthly basis...depending on participation. We will be adding new promotions during the next year, as well as modifying or eliminating current promos as well.

Please be safe as you responsibly celebrate the coming of 2008.

Thank you in advance for your understanding during this holiday season.

A LIttle House Cleaning

I have gone through our membership list, and have painfully (in my heart) "deactivated" all members who have not visited our site since before November (about 8 memberships). If a member has not visited the site in that amount of time, then it is unlikely that they will return to the site. Still, I have only deactivated the accounts, and not removed them completely. If you have had your account deactivated, then just send me a trouble ticket, and I can re-activate it should you not be able to do it yourself (I am not sure how this works...yet). The next step (in another month or so) will be to remove the memberships altogether. I am not looking forward to doing that...so I will probably delay for as long a possible.

Deactivate member's sites will not be a part of the normal rotation (this includes banners & hotlinks as well). To avoid this in the future, it is a good idea to try to visit our site at least once a week; even if you don't surf other sites. If you have visited our site in November or later, your site will remain active; but you should visit again soon so as to not jeopordize your status, and assure your membership stays active. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate in contacting me at once from the Contacts page on our site.

Downline Builder/Downline Club

Did you know that besides the "normal" promotion methods available to you on our site (site, banner & hotlink ads); you also have another option available to you? Well it is true...but most people over-look this important marketing tool. So what is this fantastic advertising option you might ask? Simply put...it is the Downline Builder/Downline Club that is available to all of our members.

So perhaps you might ask where you can find this? When you log in to your account; just scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to the Downline Builder/Downline Club section. Clicking on the URL Maintenance link, will bring you to the main page that lists all of the current catagories of sites. If you click on any of the catagory links; you will be given the opotion to add a new site to the list. And if there are already sites under that catagory: you will be able to view the information of the site(s); view the sites; add/edit your referral url; and even add/edit/view comments for the site(s).

And now for a limited time, if you add new sites to the downline builder, we will give you 50 credits for each unique site that you add here: and this is in addition to the normal 10 credits you normally get. Just add the site, and send us a trouble ticket with the catagory and site name. We will issue the credit on a first come, first serve basis; as determined by the time/date information in our e-mail from you. But you will need to act now, and get your site(s) submitted: as this is a limited time offer; and can expire at any time without notice.

Going Out Of Town This Week

I will be leaving for out of town in an hour or so for Indiana, Ohio & Michigan (to start). I have not worked for a while now, and I need to get some extra funds...especially for the holiday season. I will be gone for a couple of weeks, as it stands now...so I will not be in the office. I will be bringing my laptop with me; however, I cannot be sure if I can get on...so things may look a little static for a while. I will be sure to get back as soon as possible.

In the mean time, if you need to get in touch with me...just leave a message for me through the Contact Page; and I will try to get it as soon as possible. I will try to get to a location to read my e-mails.

PBS & GH Back Up & Running

Our friends at Pooh Bear Surf & Global Hits have completed the major part of their conversions to new scripts and servers. If you have any sites, banners or links pointing to these two Traffic Exchanges from prior to the conversion...then you will need to edit your ads from the URL Maintenance page. All of these sites and banners had been previously disabled during the conversion. You will need the appropriate corrections to your ads, in order to avoid having your site ads sitting without being promoted.

Also, each of these sites each have a new banner (at the time of this writing); so you may want (or need) to change yours. I am not completely sure, but your old banners may or may not still work (the image part at least). You will still probably need to change the forwarding URL though.

If you have any other questions concerning the sites themselves, contact Bonnie at Global Hits, or Earl at Pooh Bear Surf for further information. You can reach them directly from their respective web sites.

One last thing: don't forget about our current promotion. When you signu up for a free membership on our Forum or Wiki, we will credit your account 100 points for each site that you sign up on. See here for more information.

Pooh Bear Surf & Global Hits Ads

Attention all www.letsgetsometraffic.com surfers with Site ads, Banners &/or Hotlinks for Pooh Bear Surf &/or Global Hits. After speaking with Earl (via e-mail) from Pooh Bear Surf: I have been advised that both his site, as well as Bonnie's (Stormspotter) site (Global Hits), are being upgraded with new scripts and also are being moved to another host. In the mean time, I have disabled all current ads going to these two sites, until such time as the new (and improved) sites are back up and running.

I will try to make an announcement once I have confirmed the conversion of the sites, and when they are open up for business again. If you wish to list one of these two sites (as a new ad): please verify that their sites are working prior to posting. This will help us so that we don't have to disable your ad as well.

Additionally, I was also informed that I was using some outdated splash pages for my own referral advertising (yes...I too use my own service, and that of others). I will update mine as soon as the sites open back up again. Please verify that you are using the most up to date splash pages for these sites (as well as any other sites you belong to), to make sure that your ads are displaying properly. I have gone through all of our sites to check to make sure they are all working now...but I don't do this all the time...so I ask that you help by checking your own ads from time to time to make sure all is working well.

Happy Thanks Giving To All

During this time of year, we have been given the opportunity to reflect of all those things we have to be thankful for. So as we prepare to sit down with our families and friends, and give thanks for all of our many blessings...let us also remember all of those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Let us pray that they too might have the things that they need to live, prosper and grow.

So from our family here at Black Cat Enterprises & LetsGetSomeTraffic.com: we wish you and yours the very best and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

Minor Updates To Member's Agreement

I just made a few changes to the member's agreement. Most of what I was doing was just correcting my lousy spelling. But I did add a few lines of text (especially in the etcetera section); and also changed some formatting in a few places. If you haven't had the chance to review the member's agreement...now would be a good time to do so. I am not going to put the entire Member's Agreement here as last time: just navigate to http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/agreements2.php to view the current rendition.

Let's Get A Forum Started Quickly

Forumer.com - Free Forum Hosting

I have been having a lot of fun this past week in establishing our new forum (LGST-Forum) for www.LetsGetSomeTraffic.com. It has been very interesting, indeed, as I really don't know that much about forums. I have been lucky in the sense, that my brother, on the other hand, has extensive experience with working with forums. He has worked with me a little, and is going to be my first (part time) MODerator.

If you too would like to get your own forum, just click on the banner above, or you can also click HERE in case the banner is not displayed.

American Traffic Exchanges

We have now added one more way for people to be a part of our traffic exchange family. Besides the forum that we added yesterday; we now have a Wiki: a site where not only can you comment on traffic exchanges (in general) - but you can also be a part of this community by helping to create and propel the site forward.

You can find the site by navigating to http://americantrafficexchanges.wetpaint.com/. Sorry, but I don't have a banner or other image generated for this new site. I will work on that when I have some extra time (like that is going to happen...lol).

Comming Soon...A New Forum For LGST

We are in the process of adding a new forum for the members and friends of http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/. We found a fairly nice (and free) service to provide our forum, but it seems that it will be a little more complicated that at first believed. I am hoping that we will have this up in place & fully operational by the end of this weekend; or at latest by the end of next weekend (11/11/07).

I will keep you apprised as to the status as we go along in getting this set up.

Update: Member's Agreement & TOS

I have just updated the Member's Agreement and Terms of Service on our web site. However, I will repost the document, in it's entirity here for future reference; or in case our site goes down. I know that this is boring stuff, but please read through it so that you are familar with all the changes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate in contacting us right away so that we can answer all of your questions. Contact should be made through our Contacts or Support page on the site.

So, here goes...







Member's Agreement & Terms Of Service

Updated October 31, 2007



Personally Identifiable Information

When you become a Member, we do NOT sell, rent or otherwise give out any of your submitted personal information for any reason; except where mandated by proper

courts of jurisdiction or other law enforcement entities with proper authority.




Should we be required to forward your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to any of the previous mentioned authorities; we will notify you of such an event: and provide the following

information to you:


  • The date the request was made

  • The date the information was sent

  • The governing body, law enforcement agency or judicial authority requesting your information

  • And the information that was requested and sent to such authority




Your Information will always be treated with the utmost care and privacy. We protect the information that we have both physically with locks; as well as electronically with passwords,

encryption schemes, firewalls and/or other electonic means available to us at the time to secure your information.


E-Mail & E-Mail Accounts


You agree that the e-mail address used to sign up for service on this site is listed or registered in your own name; or that you have the permission and authority to transact business with the

e-mail address should it belong to another person or entity.

You also agree that the e-mail address you provide to us is a working e-mail address, and that it is not a catch all account that will fill up and bounce emails back to us.

You further understand that I should emails sent to you bounce back to us, you understand and accept that we may, at our option, delete your account without further recource. If that should

happen, any credits; banners; sites; links or memberships will also be cancled. If you have paid for additional advertising seperate from your account: said ads will continue untouched

according to the terms set forth in for the particular ad information page.



Further More...With regards to e-mails sent by us:

  • We will never SPAM you. By signing up and continuing a membership here, you agree to receive periodic e-mails from us.

  • We will send two types of e-mails: General & Personal. General e-mails are sent to all of our members; where as Personal e-mails are sent specifically to you or a specific group of

    people

  • General e-mails will normally occure only once per week (usually on Sunday/Monday): but we may need to send more often if there is a pressing need to do so.

  • Personal e-mails will only be sent as needed...but not more than once a day, unless we are working on a trouble ticket or other such pressing matter that requires more frequent

    communication.


Additionally, you agree that you will ONLY email your Direct Referrals once per week; and that you will NEVER send material that may be offensive (including

SPAM...see below) to them. If you do, then we may (at our option) delete your account, with no refunds for any monies paid.



SPAM

We do not tolerate any form of spam on or off of this site. Anyone caught or accused of sending spam, will have their account suspended pending our investigation.

If it has been found that you were spamming, your membership will be cancled; your IP & e-mail will be blocked; and any credits earned or monies paid for advertizing will be lost: without

reembursement.



Because we take such a strong stance against spam; please think twice before doing so. If you are unsure as to what constitutes spam, please visit the following sites for more information.



If you have received spam, you can file a complaint with the FTC by going to the FTC Consumer Complaint Form

(https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup), or you can justforward a spam letter you have received to SPAM@UCE.GOV, without the need to fill out the form.



Activation of Account & Bonuses

You can only hold one account: as there really is no need to have more than one anyways

Iin order for you to receive your bonus 'join' credits and for your account to be considered FULLY activated: I must surf a minimum of 50 sites.

Once fully activated your referrer will also receive their bonus credits for referring you.

IF YOU DO NOT fully activate your membership within 14 days, then it will be assumed that you are not interested in remaining with the site; and you understand that we may remove

me from the Site without further notice


Prohibited Sites

The following list of items are prohibited from this site. Any infraction of these rule may lead up to and including having your membership cancled, all credits, banners sites

and links erased; and no refunds given for monies paid. This list is just an short list, and is not exhaustive...nor should it be considered all inclusive. If you should have any questions on

whether or not a site is acceptable: please contact the webmaster by creating a Support Ticket to discuss your needs.



  • YOU WILL NOT put any Sites Pornographic in Nature, or of other Adult content ANYWHERE on the Site.

  • YOU WILL NOT put any Racial or Hate sites or topics; or sites with Vulgar Language, Warez, Illegal Content, and Violence

  • Additionally, websites will NOT be accepted here if they contain any of the following: Pop-Ups or Pop-Unders; The ability to break out of frames; virus or script downloads (including

    i-frame PPC sites)





Surfing & Cheating

I WILL NOT open multiple browser windows to surf. I know the reason that people join a surfing site is to get exposure to their various sites and offers and opening

multiple windows pretty much means I am not evergoing to really look at their sites and that wouldn't be right.. after all, I want them to look at mine right?

If caught cheating this way (or any other way) You understand that subject to the severity, frequency of your cheating: we may (at our option) suspend or cancle your membership: and your
sites/banners will be deleted; and you will forfeit any and all monies paid for advertizing.
Its only right after all.



I also understand that the speed of all Traffic Exchange Sites can be effected by the number of sites in their Database. Should your account show a negative balance and no

activity for a period of more than 3 months, the administrators will assume that you have abandoned your account; and remove it keep the active member surfing at the best possible

speed.



Site Location & Language

This site is owned, hosted and operated in the United States of America. As such, the language and content of this site is in English. Therefore, all sites submitted to this

site should have the majority of their site in the English language. By majority, we mean not less than 80% of the site should be written in English.

If you have audio with spoken dialog, it too must be in English.

If you have a foreign site, or are from a foreign country (outside of the USA); and your site has an English translated page: you must use that page. You can provide links to other language

based sites; as long as the site listed here is in English.




Eccettera

There will be NO refunds for upgrades and or purchases. All sales are final.



THIS IS NOT A MONEY/CASH EXCHANGE AND NO PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN OUT AS CASH. PRIZES ARE CREDITS OR NON-CASH EQUIVELENTS

ONLY
Any dollar amount expressed is for illustrative purpose only to give value to a particular prize: and not for tax purposes.



If any part of this agreement is found to be illegal, for the sake of the site, the rest of this agreement will stand on it's own, and be fully enforceable.






We reserve the right to make changes to this agreement at any time: with or without notice. We will attempt to post notice of the changes both on this site, as well as our

blog at http://bce-lgst.blogspot.com/. However, it is still YOUR responsibility to check out these terms from time to time as

they may change without notification.


Additionally, the LGST Blog will be a good place to keep up to date to all of our activities. We will post all of our

Member News from this site, as well as other item of relevance or importance there as well. Please bookmark that site for easy navigation on your next trip. And don't forget to check back often!!

A Little Housekeeping

I just want to take the time to quickly do a little house keeping. I have a couple of short items that I want to post; and now is the best time to do so.


  1. In order for your site to be viewed by others, we need to have others to view your site. The more people that we have in our membership; the more people who can potentially see your web site(s). Even though we are still a new site, we really should have more people than we have. We need everybody's help in obtaining more members to this site. Our October drive is almost over, and we are way behind where we should be. If you don't like that your site is not being rotated enough; then the reason would be that there still are not enough users who are viewing the site. But that is okay...we DO have a solution.

    Very simply...get more members to the site. And we are not even talking about upgraded memberships (at this time). NO...we just need members...each viewing the sites...a little at a time. We are not even talking about being super surfer...just someone who views perhaps 50 sites a few times a week. And if you are on our site...you are also probably on other sites as well. Don't forget to use your referral URL or splash page when advertising this site.



  2. Slow loading sites may not display properly: if at all. Be careful with sites that take a long time to load. If the site doesn't load, or load fully by the time the clock runs down, then it will be a wasted effort for your promotion. Additionally, people are less likely to click on these sites: especially if they cannot see them. We have noticed Agloco is notoriously slow in loading: but perhaps that is just on our system.



  3. Don't forget our hotlinks & banners. It is easy to just post your web pages here in LetsGetSomeTraffic.com; but did you know that we have two other ways for you to promote your sites? In addition to the full page web pages, you can also promote your sites through our banner exchange and hotlinks. As long as you have credits in your account; you can promote your sites using the banners and hotlinks: and it doesn't cost you anything more: not in money or credits. This is just another way to give our members more ad space to promote their sites.


And one last thing...there is just a little more than a day left before the end of this months Referral Contest. We now have two members who have referrals:

  • 1005 - 5 Referrals
  • 1019 - 1 Referral

There is still time left to get your referrals so you can win one of our fine awards. See our entry post on 10/7/07 for more information about this month's promotion.

Welcome To The Let's Get Some Traffic Blog

Dear Friends:

I just wanted to take a moment to welcome everyone to our new blog specifically geared to the members and friends of http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/ (LGST). It is kind of unusual that my welcome entry is not the first entry in this blog. The reason for this is because I had been making entries for LGST under our company's main blog at Black Cat Enterprises Blog.


So the first four "entries" that you will see below, are actually links to the entries at our other blog. However, now that I have created this site, I will be able to much better manage the entries that are specific to LGST. I will be using this site to post not only the entries from our Member's New section on LGST; but other items and issues that are of interest to our members and investigators/visitors alike.


I hope that you enjoy your time in reading our blog here, and that you will also check out our many other sites as we make them available. You can also have an active part here by posting replies and also by becoming a registered contributor to the blog. Go to http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/ and click on the support link at the top of the page to send us an e-mail. You can request information on how to become a contributor, or get more information about what we here at Black Cat Enterprises do on the web.


Until then....Happy Surfing!!
