    I had a very strange DS experience today - got the Calvin Klein one which as others have said, kicked me off after basically the whole survey for not being transgender! ...then one about buying drinks in supermarkets / convenience stores (mainly squash, robinsons etc.) which took ages and then again, kicked me off when I'd done all the work! ...Then clicked for another DS and was told there were none for me, but then noticed I had another internet tab open, which was a survey... filled it out and it was the 5min soft drink one (coke, pepsi etc) which credited my 70SB. Very bizarre, it seemed like wither 2 opened at once or that one opened even though it said I wasn't suitable for any the 3rd time.

    Just a question about daily/weekly/monthly bonuses.

    Does anyone know if you can get say 2 times the 7 days bonus if you do to lots of 7 days in a month?

    I missed target yesterday so wont be able to get monthly or 21 days bonus, may manage 14 days. I'm sure it's only likely to be 1 of whichever the highest streak I get is but just wondering if anyone has experienced getting 2 seperate 7 day streaks and got a bonus for both?

    Aha, it's credited now. 170sb, it's a reputable company so I doubt there's any risk with them having your card details as long as you cancel within the 7 days. £12 MP3 credit as well.

  • Hi guys, I don't mean to be a pain by asking questions that have been asked before but I really couldn't find the answer to these:

    1) What are the stages to getting the Paypal? Under 'Order Status', mine is currently showing as 'Verified'. What are the next steps that have to happen before I can transfer the money from my Paypal account to my bank account?
    2) Roughly, how long does the process take from ordering Paypal on Swagbucks to having the money in your bank account? (I ordered one £10 on 6th Jan and one on 11th Jan and I know it takes some time. I'm not being impatient, I just wondered how long it usually takes.)
    3) Someone mentioned on the previous thread that Amazon vouchers are often delivered on Thursdays (and most of mine were delivered on Thursdays) - is there a specific day when Paypal is 'delivered'?

    Thanks for your help! I'm on 205/90 today thanks to a PL and TS. Yet another day goes by without a DS. :(

    I had the same problem with the soft drink one. It was very odd, at the end it asked me the usual profiling questions, and then seemed to take me to another survey site for the profile questions again. It felt like i was starting a new survey over again. At the end it thanked me for completing the survey before giving the dq screen! Very odd - put in a ticket but doubt anything will come of it.

    The Karmic gods then gave me a 59sb search win though! Highest ever!

    Exactly, creating niche microsites is very scalable, however,

    Google has recently released two updates, Panda & Penguin. These have proven to be crippling to many niche sites. The aim of these updates to the pagerank algorithm was to stop the spammy sites that employ blackhat seo tactics to increase pagerank. Content is now a huge factor in determining your pagerank.

    For that reason, you are much better of creating 1 brilliant site. Your niche doesn't have to be that small, but your content has to be really high quality, the best of the web.

    Once you have exceptional content, I wouldn't worry too much about your pagerank. Updating the site on a regular basis would definitely help, but it's not a necessity.

    Once you can continually drive traffic, you can earn passive income.

    If you are serious about monetizing your site, your going to need to know about SEO, and the different monetization methods available...as well as how to drive traffic. Either that or hire someone. However, this isn't nearly as important as it used to be. Now it's just about content.

    Content, content, content! :beer:

    I've always believed in quality content. My niche site has been up and running for about 7 years and has good traffic. Because it's a subject I'm passionate about, the content takes precedent over the monetising aspect and that's why it isn't earning me more. It has a good page rank and plenty of traffic for like minded people.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Wow, great search result, ihowar! Through sheer persistence I have managed to scrape 9sb and 7sb search wins today, and am over target now (just) so think I'll quit for the day as yesterday was like getting blood from a stone and was finishing with SBTV @ 1am so am thrilled I won't have that ordeal tinight. Yes, the same redircetion thing happened to me, but it then seemed to go back again to the original, then DQd me. Very odd!!!
