Changes to our Terms of Service September 6, 2006

Well, it has been a long time since we have made any changes to our terms of service. After some discussion, Suzette and I have decided to make some changes to the sites that we will allow to be rotated. The internet is growing in foriegn countries and we are starting to get more members join from other countries. Because of this, we decided to allow sites in other languages. However, these sites still must follow our terms of service. Also, we will be more lax about internet marketing sites. The amount of mlm and other internet marketing programs have grown, and it is getting difficult to figure out which programs are based on sound business strategies or based on some ponzi structure. Members are also wanting to use blind lead pages to increase their e-mail lists. If you submit these type of sites, they must be put under the network marketing category (not business). Remember you can choose which categories you would like to view by clicking and adding a checkmark to the categories you wish to see. Always remember it is important to research any program that you join (especially if you have to invest money). The old adage is still true today, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” We still do not accept doublers, triplers, randomizers, traffic exchanges where earnings or based upon investment, ptp’s, gambling, pornography, alcohol, tobacco, or anything else that is considered illegal. I will gradually go through suspended sites and put them in rotation if they meet our new terms of service. However, this may take a long time. If you believe your site meets our new terms of service, it will be put into rotation quicker if you just resubmit it. Also, I will be deleting suspended sites that still don’t meet terms of service. Please make sure you have at least on site in rotation. We still want to have a lot of sites with real content and products. We also love to see sites that go along with the theme of Surf4theEarth. Suzette and I will give out 25 credits to members for the first site we see each day that has original content, sells real products, or promotes ecology or charities.
