Well, while I could write this out, I figured it would be much faster (and pretty cool) to do an audio blog. I found this widget on another users profile (thanks Delila) and decided it was a pretty good idea so I wouldn’t have t write everything out and could just speak…much easier I think.


Why the 1 Billion Page Views message is SPAM and a Chain Letter

¨ Requesting it to be sent to 10 other people

¨ There are only 125,000 active members out of 500,000 (25%)

¨ To get to 1 billion page views:

o 10 people add you

o 100 people add you

o 1000 people add you (1110)

o 10,000 people add you (11,110)

o 100,000 people add you (111,110) 5th level.

¨ Let’s say that all 125,000 active members do take part in this and all 125,000 members are friends with the other 124,999 members on the site (pretty big friends lists). So we still want that 1 Billion Page Views right?

¨ Well all 125,000 members are going to have to visit the each of the other 124,999 profiles 8,000 times per month (or at least give 8,000 page views one way or another).

¨ That’s every single profile that you have give 8000 page views to…124,999 times!

¨ That’s 267 page views, per day (given a 30 day standard month) per profile/person/friend.

¨ Now there are only 24 hours in a day, and lets say (however unrealistic it is) that all members do not work and do not sleep for a total of 30 days and spend that entire time on Yuwie…nonstop. 267/24 hours = 11.125 page views each hour to all 125,000 members…that’s 1,390,625 page views you have to give to the rest of the Yuwie community every hour!!

¨ Let’s take this a bit further, there are 60 minutes in each hour, so that’s 23,177.08 page views you need to give out every minute.

¨ Ok, but every page view has to be 3 seconds apart from the last one to count, right? So let’s divide this # by 20 as that’s the total page views per minute we can give out. 23,177.08/20 = 1,158.85 page views every 3 seconds that you PERSONALLY are responsible for giving out. Now when you can only give out 1 page view every 3 seconds…how do you expect to fulfill that?

Let’s also talk about how this will lower the RSR and (even if you could reach 1 billion page views) why you will never see that massive amount of money you think you’ll be getting. Korry pays users based on several factors. One being the $ amount he receives from advertisers, and we users get a % of that (which is SUPPOSED to be 50%). So what Korry does is takes the total page views for the site, and figures out how much the RSR should be based on the Total Page Views accumulated by All Yuwie members so as to spread it around evenly. Now here you are sitting with 1 billion page views. That RSR is going to drop really really low to accommodate you because your page views are so high, you’re going to make more than Korry did from the advertisers if he didn’t lower the RSR. Remember, Yuwie/Korry is not making $20 million/month right now. Yuwie is still pretty small. In time it will grow as the user base grows, the content grows, and then the RSR will follow suit as more and bigger advertisers will come to Yuwie to advertise. But if Yuwie’s getting over 1 billion page views (and that’s just for one person) then the advertisers are going to leave if their not getting any traffic because everyone skips past the ads just to give/get page views and don’t take the time to pay attention to the ads! So the advertisers leave because they’re not getting their money’s worth, so the RSR takes a dive, and that’s after your 1 billion page views which took the RSR for a dive as well, so now the RSR is at an all time low of just $0.01 - $0.10 max….and you didn’t make squat, and neither did the rest of Yuwie. Congratulations. All that spamming and chain letters for what…a few pennies and possible running Yuwie straight into the ground?

Feel good about yourself yet?

If you want to have more friends and increase your page views, why not just add more friends. Download linky, Browse Friends at the top, and add a couple hundred a day, talk to them, get to know them. Read their blogs, they’ll read yours. We all grow on here by mutually helping each other out. In due time we will all grow (if you so choose to get referrals) and make some money, but you have to remember that Yuwie is NOT a get rich quick scheme!

Oh yea, and if you do pass that Chain Letter around, and it comes to me, I will report it like the other 20-30 I’ve gotten thus far. I’ll get the free referrals from it while you get locked down and possibly deleted for a breach of TOS (terms of service for Yuwie).

I hope you all realize now that this 1 Billion Page Views chain letter is not going to help you and if anything will end up hurting you, me, and everyone else on Yuwie. Please do not do it.

Hey wassup Bones, great blog. I knew that 1 billion had to be impossible. But being a newbie it was still inticing. I did it. Of course that was a while back when I had like fifty sumthing friends. Dam that sukkd. I dont even look at those things now. I kinda cheated cuz I took off all the other profiles and put my friends on there. HAHA I didnt have any referrals then, I just felt like helping out my top friends. lol Chainmail sucks! Glad to know its against the ToS. I will be reporting and notifying the poor folks now. So yeah, if it aint good for Yuwie, Lets get it outta here!
Pce,
Jimmi

Hey Embones, great blog bro. I love the audio ad idea. And very well put I must say. I hate the 1 Billion page view idea myself. When I first joined in Oct last year, I was swamped with these so-called chain letters. Obviously out of curiousity I tried it once but soon realised it was a complete and absolute waste of time. I think the major problem is that a small minority of previous and current members (who should know better by now) are spamming these 1 billion page view chain letters to newly joined members. These new members end up being deceived, thinking that it would work and give it a try. It's these previous members who are perpetuating the problem and re-fuelling the 'dead loss' idea into new members' minds. And as you said, Yuwie is a baby site with approx on 25% of its members being active so such a ploy would rather damage the RSR levels rather than improve it. So what I do now is to ignore any spam letters I receive. Good job!!!

I agree 100% . All this would do if it was possible, is drive the rsr way, way down! Great blog Bones, and I will send the next culprit to read and listen to you blog!
