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 viral 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 realize 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 URL cloaker, a personal list-builder, a traffic generator, a member promotion 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, Craig has really pulled out all the stops. But thenagain, who better to design a bulletproof tracking service than the guy who brought you the very first free 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 that visitors first have to go through (who click on a free
members' tracking link). To be honest, it won't satisfy you if you're looking for a top professional tracking service with fine detail, but you have to pay good money for those! This is as good
as you'll find for a free, low-budget tracking service with more details and features than anywhere else.
Pro members on the other hand get a tracking service better than anything else I have seen
for the low investment. 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. (I think they're working on this, but to be honest, the colors are not easy to distinquish in the pie charts).
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.
Example:
I put "ldc" on the end of one to indicate the link came from ListDotCom, (or atc to indicate from a credit link) and "lj" to indicate it came from ListJoe. You can then see which gives you the most hits. (the Pro version of ListJoe usually beats the Diamond version of ListDotCom hands down)

It is no wonder with Craig being the owner of TrackThatAd that I cannot fault him on the tracking service. It's even better than the pro TrackThatAd.com
Personal List Builder
I'm 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 - reputable responder companies will not allow importing of leads, to protect from spam complaints)
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
So how does MVS bring you traffic? 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. For free members, these ads are randomly pulled out of the database on a 1 to 1rotational 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 much 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 be 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. See one thing I don't like about this feature below.
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 once 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 practically means that pro members can reach 18,000 random prospects a month without even building up mailing credits.
Furthermore, pro members' ads do 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 likely 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 things you will see on your homepage is 7 links to the day's recommended programs. This will actually 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 have passed and their homepage is rebuilt. Once rebuilt, it will show 7 other links for the
next 24 hours, etc...
Your homepage also includes a good variety 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 be aware of regarding the homepage... only active homepage members will be authorized to have their "page-Behind" sites, text ads and downline programs displayed.
Also, you can only earn mailing credits by following a link from your own homepage.
This is to rule out freeloaders who think they can just join MVS for free advertising and contribute nothing to the community. Over all, I think this is a good feature as it ensures only
serious business people advertise to each other and the outside world.
This feature will increase the value of your viral traffic as compared to other viral sites.
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 beyond the typical.
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 realize 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 favor 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 realize the extent 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. (Frankly, I upgraded mainly for the mailer)
What's Wrong With MyViralSurfer?
Seriously, the main 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 five minutes out of my day and this is a once-off procedure. I can see the value of a payment service like Plimus, in that emerging internet marketers from large-populcation countries are currently not allowed to use Paypal or even Clickbank - that leaves out a huge potential market. Plimus offers more ways to get those
typically untapped people a way to pay & receive commissions they otherwise wouldn't have had.
Regarding the Page-behind feature? One negative thing I noticed: If someone actually tries to click on a link of that page of yours to submit email or to order, it is "leaving" that page to get to the next page - so the "page-behind" kicks in and can interupt that process. Just be prepared for that - so just use pages that get them to click to an outside page to get around it. Perhaps this is something MVS will work on.
This isn't a negative feature, just a personal preference thing: the viral cloaking bar? It's a little too big & distracting for my taste, so I don't use it on all of my sites, but not all will have the same opinion. I like the more unobtrusive style bar that LeadsLeap uses in their cloaker. See example: http://www.leadsleap.com/go/16275
Other than that I really can't fault Craig on anything else. It's actually quite easy to use and definitely viral.
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. Click here to see some of my favorite features in action, and you will see why you want to grab the OTO to upgrade before you regret it later.
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. I sometimes think , "Nah, I can't afford it", but personally, I feel that I cannot afford NOT getting the one-time-offer since it will dramatically increase my viral traffic and profit.
Click here to visit MyViralSurfer.
Don't get it from any other link. Why?
Click here to grab my big Bonus for those who get the Pro version in the OTO through my link only. Add some traffic credits to that bonus by grabbing it from HERE instead! You don't have to grab the PLR videos, I give this bonus to anyone getting the paid version of any program from my link.
