It has been just a few days since I posted the high yield investment program. I was explaining about a program called pacforall. An advertising program that offers 12% daily for 12 days so a total of 144% at the end of 12 days.

But as I have stated in that post also, Im not really a fan of hyip. Because I have been burned out so many times in the past in these kinds of programs. Being here online for so many years so for sure I have encountered so much of these types of programs already. But sometimes risk taker people like me, just don’t learn the lesson. So when we see something that looks promising we just hop in hoping to earn a little here and there.  There are times that we earn but most of the times its a lose.

That’s what happened here now with this pacforall program. Its only more than a week since I joined since I joined. And today when I logged in to my account I saw their very important update telling all members that they are closing already.

Ouch. Thats a hard update to expect when a program is just new. Its not what we wanted to see, but its there so nothing we can do about it. It has never been stated if we will still get our money for those who have pending invests so I just have to wait until the investment expires and see what happens from there.

Although I give them a little credit for the announcement. Because normally when there is something wrong with a hyip like this what happens is they just disappear and don’t say a word anymore. So people don’t know where to go or what to do about their investments. But this one until now their site is still up until now. We just don’t know if we will still be paid but the site is still alive. So I have just to see in the next few days.

Anyway, this post is just to update everyone to not join this program anymore. I know there might still be some others who are promoting this so when you see one just help yourself and don’t join anymore. That will save you money and a lot of headache in the future.

Also, as I have stated in my other post, in this kind of programs most of the times its always a come and go programs. So whatever you do, either you are a risk taker like me or a new one who just want to try this out, just always make sure to spend what you are willing to loose. Because you can never know when a company or a site will be down and gone.

Being an online marketer for so many years now, I normally assume that people already know a lot about social bookmarking specially those who have been online for so many years now. But its not right to assume because sometimes I came in contact with some people that when ask if they have account in digg or stumbleupon or any other bookmarking site then they will just ask back what is that?

So for that reason I just want to explain in this post what are this bookmarking sites and what are their uses to us bloggers and website owners.

Social bookmarking sites are basically sites that allow users to post their favorite sites, using tags or keywords. When other users see this favorites they usually add them to their own favorites and then share with even more users. That in effect makes it viral and a site goes from one user to another thus giving more traffic to a particular website. Below are some of my favorite bookmarking sites that I personally use:

Digg

How it works: All users are in charge of whatever story to get to the frontpage. In a newspaper or magazine the editor is the one in charge on which story to put on front page but here its the people who are in charge on what they want to put on the front page. If an article or story gets the most digg then it will go to the front page thus giving the site more traffic.  If you want to know whats the most talked about issue at a present time then just go to digg and see whats on the front page. And if you want to have more traffic to your site you should start using digg.

Stumbleupon

This is another way to share websites to others. Also can be used as sharing your own sites. What this basically do is you have to give a site a thumbs up if you like it and thumbs down if you dont like it. The more thumbs up a site gets the more traffic it can have.

It has a toolbar that you can add to your browser. You just need to install it and when you find some interesting sites you will just press the thumbs up or thumbs down if you dont like it.

Reddit

This is a  social bookmarking website that works much like del.icio.us: you need to register and then start submitting and sharing your bookmarks. Reddit is similar to del.icio.us that encouraged users to vote on the links and stories that they feel deserves to be on top. It’s like a popularity contest, of some sort.

If you want to find something then you can just go to this site and see whats on top and for sure you will find a lot based on what you are looking for. This is a great way to get traffic to a site also just like the others.

There are so much more of this social bookmarking sites that we can find if you go to goggle and search. There are hundreds of them. This are just examples and you can search for more that you think will be beneficial to you also as a webmaster.

Everyone you can also post about your favorite social bookmarking sites here and lets share each others’ favorites.
