It seems like my blog entry about the Gremlins has caused some concern on a Traffic Exchange called Traffic Era. One of their team leaders wrote to me, asking if I was referring to their team and telling me he would report the blog because he is taking it personally.
This was my response
Hi
Why would I be referring to your team? I have not even said which Traffic Exchange I am referring to, it is a fairy tale.
Once upon a time I surfed in a team that was highly successful because we had a computer wizard who put our team URLs in his rotator and we had a huge referral pv, so we ruled the exchange. However, that was against the rules of that exchange and a couple of our team members got suspended and we had to promise never to do this again, which we did.
On that traffic exchange there is a rule against advertising someone else's referral url.
If your team are doing that, then of course the fairy tale could apply to your team, if they are not doing it then you have nothing to worry about. So I don't understand why you think I am referring to your team, surely you are not putting your referral URLs into a rotator?
Anyway, thanks for reading the blog

Truly strange when fiction becomes more real than fact. However, as they say in England, if the cap fits, wear it

My current attitude is 'maybe the sh*t could happen to the Gremlins this week'. Maybe, just maybe, the Sleeping Giant will wake up and realize what is happening. Then again, maybe he won't and we will all have to put up with their cheating sh*t for another week.

New service offered by a friend of mine
I am having a break from surfing much this week, as I have friends from England staying and we have been visiting some of the local sites of beauty. Sad to see that the Gremlins are still cheating their way to the top (see previous entry).
On a more positive note however, my good friend John is now offering a free spell-checking service for those wanting to post blogs or websites. He and I have always had a good time whilst surfing together, observing some of the more obvious errors in websites and blogs. You can find his log here go visit it and submit your site to his professional scrutiny - do not forget, it is FREE.
One of the things that used to make me laugh most was a hover-surfing site that proudly proclaimed they now had No Click Manuel surfing. I had an immediate vision of an old British sit-com called 'Fawlty Towers' which featured a Spanish waiter called Manuel. Poor Manuel not only did not have to click, he was obviously having to surf 24 hours a day too :) Unfortunately, the traffic exchange that advertised this has now changed its advertising - thus depriving me of a little laugh.
Other things that made me laugh were that I could earn a 'substatial' income, this matrix was 'defently one to join' and how would I like to have an 'eye-earn cling-on'. Bring that last one on for the fans of StarTrek.
More obvious faults were things like 'what could be easier/better then' (than) and fed up of/from, when it should be fed up with.
There are many other examples. Some of them obvious, some not so clear. Some of them are just differences between UK English and US English, as in humour -v- humor, but that is just spelling relating to country differences.
I guess it would be better if things were written properly, but I have to admit that the sites that made me laugh are also the sites whose names I remember, therefore there might be something to be said for making the occasional spelling error in order to be memorable.
If you do not want to be memorable for that reason, and you are not sure about your spelling then I would heartily recommend you contact John on his link above.
I did and he has compeetly fetted this blog and fownd it to be fre of any mistakens.

The Cheating Gremlins at the Traffic Exchange
A Modern Day Fairy Tale
Once upon a time there was a team of surfers, let's call them the Gremlins. They surfed together on a traffic exchange and they were quite nice really. But one day they became greedy. They could not win enough points just doing things in an honest way, so they started to cheat. There was one Gremlin who had a lot of very expensive equipment in his laboratory - of which he was so proud that he even wrote about it to a member of another team and said
'My secret to getting good PV is by running a 64-bit system, and running 14 autosurfs 24/7 in Internet Explorer x64 - I max out my ref PV within 6 hours every day'
Well of course the other Gremlins wanted to do that too, so they asked him to help them with their ref pv, and since that meant that as a team they would win more points, he was only too happy to help his team mates. He even wrote to the Traffic Exchange and asked them if they would be able to spot such a scam, and they said they probably would not. He then advertised this on the Traffic Exchange, because he wanted everyone to know how clever he and his team were.
What the little Gremlins did not realise is that every other team on that Exchange knew exactly what the Gremlins were doing and that one day the sleeping Giant (which is the Support Team of that Exchange) would wake up and probably eat up all the little cheating Gremlins.
And a good time was had by all and they all lived happily ever after...
