Whatever you do, Don't Join

MyViralSurfer!!

Well, at least not until

you have read this review. My heading was not some ploy to

get you to find out what is wrong with MyViralSurfer.

Rather, it was meant to get your attention because there are

a few things I want you to know before you join.

Okay, so what is

MyViralSurfer?

MyViralSurfer is a website

comprised of many services. It was developed by Craig

Haywood (or the blue guy) who is also the owner of highly

successful sites like TrackThatAd.com and MyViralPopAds.

Please note: I do realise

that this review is a bit long, but it will soon become

clear when you see just how big MyViralSurfer is.

A quick summary of the MVS

homepage reveals that MVS is an ad tracking service or link

cloaker, a personal list builder, a traffic increaser, a

member advertising service and a downline builder for any

program of your choice. Let's look at all of these in

order...

Tracking Service

As a tracking service I

have to admit, Craig has really pulled out all the stops.

But then again, who better to design a bulletproof tracking

service than the guy who brought you the very first Viral

Tracking service (I will get to the viral aspect of MVS

later in this review).

What I really like about

the tracking service is that there is no apparent

restrictions for free users apart from the viral bar which

cannot be turned off by free users. Then again, why would

you want to turn it off anyway as this forms part of how

this well oiled machine does what it claims to do.

Free members can create

unlimited tracking campaigns and unlike what Craig has done

with TrackThatAd, there is no ad gateway visitors, who click

on a free members' tracking link, first have to go through.

For the budget constrained, this really is a free tracking

service with more bells and whistles you will see anywhere

else.

Pro members on the other

hand get a tracking service better than anything else I have

seen. You will not only have access to the textual data free

users get, but you also get a full graphical analysis on all

of your campaigns. This makes it very easy to spot trends at

a simple glance where you might otherwise have missed it by

just looking at the textual data.

Pro members can also use

the tracking by incorporating their own domain names into

the tracking link, turn the viral bar on or off and

something which I really like is that they can even track

sales and know exactly which advertising resource resulted

in the sale... all the while creating just one campaign.

What is nice about the

sales tracking is that you can use it on almost anything

where you want to test conversion. For instance, you can see

how many opt-ins you got to your list by advertising with

company xyz as apposed to how many you got by advertising

with company abc.

It is no wonder with Craig

being the owner of TrackThatAd that I cannot fault him on

the tracking service.

Personal List Builder

I am sure by now you are

sick of hearing how important a personal list is and "The

Money Is In The List". The sad truth is, this is all true. I

can lose all my online businesses today and I will already

be in profit again by tomorrow just because I have a list.

As a free member MVS will

build your list 3 levels deep. What this means is that you

will receive the name, surname, email address, signup ip

address and date of signup from all members you refer. Then

the same happens for members they refer and the members they

refer.

These leads are sent to

you at the address you use to join MVS in such a way that

you will not be able to join with an auto-responder email to

have the leads deposited onto your auto responder. (Believe

me, I tried)

As a pro member though,

you can specify an auto responder email address and MVS will

then deposit all your leads into your auto responder. For

pro members this happens a full 20 levels deep. This is very

important and will become apparent when I get to the Viral

aspects of MVS.

Traffic Generator - Increase Online Traffic

The traffic MVA generates

for you comes from three sources through two ads you create

in your members area. The first ad is a text ad which is

displayed on the viral bar of all tracking links. These ads

are randomly pulled out of the database on a 1 to 1

rotational basis.

Text ads are also

displayed on more than 2000 content pages throughout the MVS

network which is getting more and more organic traffic every

day. Once again, if you go with the pro option, you get a

better deal on the ad displays.

Pro members will have a 20

to 1 rotation on all text ads. These ads can point to any

website address, whether it is an affiliate site or your

very own product sales page.

Another way MVS creates

traffic is through a technology they like to call

"Page-Behind" sites. This you really have to see to believe

it! Whenever a tracking link is followed, the visitor will

get to the site being tracked just as if he or she would

have typed in the address directly with the exception of the

viral bar at the bottom of the site being tracked.

This in itself is nothing

new as we have all seen this before. In fact Craig

introduced this concept way back when he developed

TrackThatAd. Once the visitor lands on the page or site they

followed from the tracking link, they can go about their

browsing just as they normally do. They can even click

through to another site if the site they are viewing has a

link to an external website.

"Page-Behind" kicks in the

moment the visitor tries to close his or her browser by

showing an alert and asking the visitor to view one more

offer. What I really like about this is that the offer has

already loaded completely in the background while the

visitor was visiting the site being tracked.

This "page-Behind" offer

is actually a website address you specify in your

back-office and once again, it can be any site of your

choosing, whether it be an affiliate website or your own

product sales page.

As is the case with the

text ads, "Page-Behind" sites are randomly rotated on a 1 to

1 basis for free members and a 1 to 20 rotation for pro

members.

Member Advertising

Service

The member Advertising

service comes in the shape of a shared mailer where members

can send their offers to other members of MyViralSurfer.

What is really nice about MVS is that even free members can

mail to at least 1500 random prospects every week by simply

getting mailing credits from their MVS homepage (more on

this later)

Pro members on the other

hand can mail to 1500 members in addition to the mailing

credits they have built up since their last mailing 3 times

a week. That effectively gives pro members the ability of

reaching 18,000 random prospects a month without even

building up mailing credits. Furthermore, pro members' ads

does not contain any top sponsor ads.

Pro members will also not

receive mail sent by free members. This is something I

really like because we all know paid members are more like

to buy a product as they have already proven themselves as

buyers as opposed to free members.

Downline Building

MyViralSurfer has a unique

technology whereby each member of MVS gets a customized home

page which they are also required to set as their browser's

homepage. Every 24 hours your custom home page is rebuilt

and one of the many thing you will see on your homepage is 7

links to the days recommended programs. This will

effectively be your affiliate or downline programs.

Each time a member of MVS

opens up their browser, they will see these 7 links until 24

hours has passed and their homepage is rebuilt. Once

rebuilt, it will show 7 other links for the next 24 hours

etc, etc...

Your homepage also

includes a whole array of useful utilities. For instance,

you can see the results of your 5 newest tracking campaigns

without logging into your account first, there is a jokes of

the day section, a marketing tip of the day section where

top gurus shares information which is sure to help you in

your money making efforts.

You can also add up to 60

sites you visit on a regular basis which will be displayed

in the order of sites you visit most often. As for the other

utilities you get included with your homepage, there are

just too many to list them all here, but suffice to say

Craig has really done his homework to ensure you will be

happy to set your unique MVS homepage as your start-up page

in your browser.

Something to take note off

regarding the homepage... only active homepage members will

be authorised to have their "page-Behind" sites, text ads

and downline programs displayed. You can also only earn

mailing credits by following a link from your homepage.

This is to rule out

freeloaders who think they can just join MVS for free

advertising and contribute nothing to the community. All in

all, I think this is a good feature as it ensures only

serious business people advertise to each other and the

outside world.

Viral Marketing --

What's Wrong With MyViralSurfer -- Final Thoughts

A lot of people claim they

know what Viral Marketing is and... some of them actually

do. However, Craig Haywood has just rewritten the book on

Viral Marketing. The Viral elements he has in place with MVS

is something totally out of this world.

In the members area Craig

actually makes this bold statement:

"Every member will

refer new members to MyViralSurfer, whether they want to or

not. That is just the way we built the system."

This may seem like a

mouthful till you realise what Craig has done. Craig has

implemented Viral marketing in a way that has never been

done before and while I have to admit that not every member

will get referrals if they just join MVS, never to do

anything with it again, I can certainly understand that it

is almost impossible not to make money with this system.

I don't want to give away

too much, but should you decide to get an account, do

yourself a favour and check out the affiliate tools section.

You will see things there that you will see nowhere else.

This also brings me back

to the personal list-building feature. When you realise the

extend to which Craig has implemented viral marketing in

MyViralSurfer, it becomes quite clear that reaching 20

levels of referrals below you (who all end up on your list)

is really not that far-fetched of an idea.

What's Wrong With

MyViralSurfer?

Seriously, the only

drawback I can see is that there is a lot to go through when

you first join the service. A lot of people will leave a lot

of money on the table because they will not be willing to

spend 10 minutes to get to know the system.

My Advice: Once you have

joined, be sure to read the section under the tutorials menu

on how it all fits together. You might just find yourself

drooling by the time you finish it.

I also had a bit of a hard

time signing up to a free account with Plimus (MVS pays out

commissions through Plimus), but then again, it took two

minutes out of my day and this is a once-off procedure.

Other than that I really

can't fault Craig on anything else.

Final Thoughts

MyViralSurfer is a one

stop, all-in-one solution that caters to most of the things

we as marketers need every day. Throughout the whole members

area you get a sense of quality -- a rare quality as I feel

most product owners only apply the bells and whistles to the

sales page.

It offers everything you

will need whether you are a newbie or a seasoned veteran.

While this service offers

an incredible array of excellent benefits for free members,

I would highly recommend you take them up on the

one-time-offer as chances are extremely good you will just

do it anyway later on for a higher price.
