Your Questions About Internet Marketing Inc

Michael asks…
Do you think that Apple Inc. is breaking the law with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad?
Now before I begin, let me say that I love Apple products, however Apple seriously limits the functionality with all three of their touch devices.
Back in the day, I believe with windows 95 or 98 a lawsuit was filed against Microsoft because it only allowed the Internet Explorer browser on their computers. It was ruled that it was unlawful for that to happen. Is Apple not doing almost the same thing now? You are not allowed to install any software not “approved” by Apple itself, and to do that you must jailbreak your device and “void” your warranty. Apple constantly updates its iOS software to patch “security loopholes” that allows people to jailbreak their devices. But that is aside from the point. If you make a device that is mass produced, don’t you have to allow the consumer to install whatever software their heart desires? It seems as if Apple is censoring out any application that it does not like or does not “approve”. And along with that, AT&T and Apple are creating a sort of a monopoly with its iPhone exclusivity contract. Apple and AT&T know that the iPhone is just about the most popular phone on the market, and it is understandable to use it as a selling point, but I think that it has gone too far. It would be different if AT&T created its own phone and used it as a selling point and did not allow it onto other carriers, but to pay another company for exclusive rights to its products is a monopolistic move. Do you think what I am saying is true? Leave your answer and feedback.

Jere answers:
It’s totally different because Apple not only provides the operating system, it also manufactures the products. From what I understand, the Microsoft case was illegal because attempting to remove Internet Explorer crashed the computer, which essentially meant that Microsoft was intentionally sabotaging another company’s product.

As a Mac user I am excited that Mac users will not have to wait the usual 6-9 months after everyone else (PC users) has the game and is talking about it. As a Sims fan, I hate to wait!

George asks…
Who’s behind ASDCASHGENERATOR?
ASD Cash Generator is a “profit/revenue- share” type internet advertising company that allows you to generate money by viewing websites. I’m using ASD to advertise 5 of my sites and have received real traffic and leads from it.
Each day a paid member views ads, they get a share in the profits of the company paid directly to their accounts until the member pockets 25% more than they spent. At the time of this writing, their current daily interest rate has been averaging about 0.50% – 2% per day, and is primarily based on the total the number of ad package sales for the previous day. The daily rebate rate will vary and is not fixed.
All you have to do is view 24 web sites each day for 15 seconds each to receive your daily rebate that equals to about 6 minutes.
Who’s running the show?
The company was founded over a year ago by CEO, Andy Bowdoin. In doing my due diligence and searching over 9 pages of information on Google on him (all positive), I found that he has quite an extraordinary reputation, not only as a career Advertising man, but as a man of exceptional integrity.
He has over 40 years experience in sales and marketing, and has had success in everything he’s done. He started his sales career working with the Dale Carnegie Courses in the early sixties and later worked with the Napoleon Hill Leadership Program. Andy has trained thousands of sales people during his career and started several companies.
He expanded a 60-minute dry cleaning franchise throughout the Southeast and Midwest. He developed a company that sold wireless communication franchises throughout the U.S. and then started a company to market credit card processing for merchants.
In 1999, Andy did research and discovered a need for GPS Tracking for fleet vehicles and GPS Tech was created. In 2006, Andy again saw a new opportunity – the need for a new way to deliver advertising to the masses and Ad Surf Daily, Inc. was born.
He modified his marketing strategies for the internet and attracted over 5,000 members in 120 days and sold over $1,200,000 in services. He now teaches his ASD members his strategies to help them build their internet businesses.
ASD has a physical office located in Quincy Florida, a state of the art online support ticketing system and real telephone support where customer service reps handle all support questions or inquiries.
One of the big perks with this program is they have an account with Bank of America where you can make direct deposits. They withstood a rigorous Verification Process (common sense will tell you Bank of America doesn’t do business with scams).
* Sustainable Payout Structure, NO guarantee of earnings in a set time.
* Daily Payouts fluctuate with daily sales – true Profit Sharing, NOT a Ponzi.
* Daily sales posted each day with your exact payout percentage.
* Zero Cost Membership.
* Structured like a REAL business with CEO, Executive Officers, Chief Administrator
* Full information on CEO, not some ‘anonymous’ admin
How is the company revenue distributed?
The ASD Cash Generator business plan pays 50% of all daily ad buys back to the advertisers, 15% in referral commissions (on two levels) and 25% for expenses and corporate profits.
By never paying out more than they take in, ASD will never encounter the cash-flow problems that have plagued other paid-to-surf programs. You’ll receive a variable percentage daily of that 50% revenue, for surfing 24 sites daily, until you reach 125% of your ad purchase (25% profit), and then you’ll re-cycle.
Members in the US are sent 1099s for any net profits (not advertising purchases) earned each year from ASD, but you can write off anything you purchase in advertising packages, and in turn, save money on your taxes!
Note: ASD Cash Generator is actually the 3rd get-paid-to-surf type program Andy has created. The first two programs were discontinued last year due to programming script problems. All the previous members had their balances transferred over to the new restructured ASD Cash Generator program or were refunded. ASD Cash Generator launched in July 2007.
Speak Spanish?
ASD also has a Spanish version of the English ASD website for those wishing to either view Spanish-based websites or know people who would like to earn money surfing a Spanish site. It’s set to be available for surfing and advertising in the beginning of February.
No sponsoring or recruiting is required, but for those that wish to refer others to ASD, they have a referral program that pays up to a 10% commission from the ad credits purchased that you personally refer, and up to a 5% commission from the ad credits of those referred by your direct referrals for a total of 15% total referral commission paid on 2 levels.
What’s the maximum number of Ad Packages I can purchase?
Twelve thousand (12000). Ad Packages are $1.00 each, so the maximum you can own at any one time is $12,000 USD. ASD requires that you have a product, service, program or opportunity that includes a web site to advertise in order to be an advertiser.
Note: If you don’t have a website to advertise, you can contact me for one to use.
3 Membership Levels: (Optional monthly subscription)
You can join ASD for FREE to advertise your site, or you can upgrade and advertise your business and earn cash-back rebates at the same time. The free membership will always be there and advertisers can get FREE advertising by viewing other web sites on the ASD Cash Generator Web Site.
An advertiser can pay a monthly membership fee and reduce cash out fees, increase referral commissions and decrease the number of sites to view on a daily basis. The amount of your monthly membership fee determines the number of times you can cash out each week, the amount of your referral commissions and the number of sites you must view each day to receive your rebates.
Monthly Memberships:
* $10 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays Only and 5% referral commission for 1st level and 3% on 2nd level,
* $25 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays and 7% referral commission for 1st level and 4% on 2nd level,
* $100 per mo. fee = Exec. VIP Plan, Cashout DAILY and 10% referral commission on 1st level and 5% on 2nd level.
Special Promotion through Tuesday, January 22, 2008.
If you purchase $500 – $999 in Ad Package purchases, you’ll receive 3 month Exec. VIP membership level upgrade. For $1,000- $1,999 in Ad Package purchases, you’ll receive 6 months Exec. VIP membership level, and for $2000 or more in Ad Package purchases, you’ll receive 1 year Exec. VIP membership level upgrade.
Do I have to pay a membership fee?
No. If you just want to be a passive member in ASD and receive cash back rebates from your ad purchases, you don’t need to pay a monthly membership fee. It’s primarily for people who choose to refer other advertisers or want to increase the frequency that they can withdraw their profits. If you don’t pay a membership fee and you decide to refer others (optional), you’ll be paid a 3% referral commission on all of your personal referrals only.
What payment processors are available?
Currently Alert Pay, Solid Trust Pay ,direct deposit into Bank of America account, cashier checks and mail in money order. Soon to come will be an International Debit card
What happens if I’m unable to view and rate websites on any given day?
If you miss a day and you’re unable to view and rate ads (for any reason) you don’t lose anything, it just freezes and extends the time line until you come back.
Personal opinion: From everything I’ve researched, Andy Bowdoin is a man of integrity who does what he says he’s going to do. He has a rock-solid business plan and experience based on verifiable and publicly available information. Everything is very transparent.
His business model is a win win for everyone and very lucrative for both passive and active members. Advertisers who simply want to be sure their website get seen, get exactly what they pay for.
Entrepreneurs who want a passive way of growing their money, get the ability of doing so for simply viewing ads daily. They get quality prospects visiting their websites which will ultimately turn into sign ups, sales, or more business partners.
You can get a 25% bonus on your advertising dollars spent for simply investing 10 minutes per day to view others sites. So if you purchase $1,000 in advertising from ASD, you’ll get paid daily until you receive $1,250 back. It doesn’t matter if you purchase an ad for $10 or $500… if you do nothing else but view ads, the results are the same and you’ll eventually earn 125% of what you spend (25% net profit).
If you look at their Alexa traffic ranking in the chart below, you’ll see that there’s tremendous momentum with this program right now.

Sharon asks…
Thmegamart???? IS IT FOR REAL?
Hi Guys, I need your views on the upcoming retail firm in india “Thmegamart” saying that they belongs to norway(FDI cft on their website says they will invest thru Hong Kong). Their is no contact details or address proof, as lots of candidates can not even find the Hybd address provided on their website. Try putting the address on google maps and you will get nothing. TE HUUR INC means nothing on internet. They are saying, we are retail giant in “Norway and Hong kong” so why their name is not coming in country retailers list for both the countries. I was amazed to see the owners on “http://stuffgate.com”{search for both ‘thmegamart.in’ and ‘corporate trainers.net.in'(the company provide retail cft)}. The corporatetrainers website is running on the name of founder and chairperson of thmegamart “Carol C.Aucoin”. even on the youtube video check the statement underneath the video “retail giant of NOWAYS(instead of Norway). Isn’t that funny how could a retail giant run a business if they are doing such mistakes for marketing. Check their numbers if u got a interview call, all are mbl numbers(I have got 3 times, even after I got offer letter in first call). few people(of course they are involve in this) are saying that, they visited their HYBD office but none of them putting their address so that other candidates can visit and check wether this company is for real. they are willing to open 138 stores, jus cz I was having spare time I counted the stores as per location they are just 127. Another big question ..big fishes like wall mart, tesco and few other from S.Africa are still waiting for FDI approval, how come this company which doesn’t even exist in Norway/Hong Kong can open 138 stores???? Guys stop playing with people carrier/future to make some $$. You guys are fraud, if you are running a scam u need to be very smart, you need to know through internet in just few hours anyone can search about existance of any company/business in any part of world from anywhere. All those candidates who are confused about this “RETAIL GIANT of NOWAY” 😉 can share their views here. Lets find out wether they belong to MARS or some other planet…LOL….CHEERS
