It is always sad when a company closes their doors, I have been part of quite a few of them over the past two years and I can safely say that pretty much all of them I have not really missed (apart from the ones that owed me money!).

That was until I found out today that TweetROI has closed down.

TweetROI were one of the many companies who offered to pay you money to post sponsored tweets on your Twitter account from advertisers. I personally did not earn a terrific amount from them but I found them to be a very friendly and somewhat efficient company.

Apparently the writing was on the wall for the company when Twitter threw their dummy out of the pram several months ago and tried to block people from posting sponsored tweets on their accounts.

A lot of the companies tried to find ways around this (some of them were successful and some were forced into resorting to manually inserting tweets) but for some reason TweetROI decided instead to just shut down the operation and walk away.

They have promised to payout to anyone who has met the $20 payout requirement. If, like me, you have not hit the payout requirement then I’m afraid to report that you will not see a penny of it. The owner even confesses this on the video on their home page.

It is sad to see because it is one less company in the market, which means less opportunities to earn money by posting sponsored tweets. But on the plus side maybe I’ll be able to attract some private advertisers to take advantage of my sponsored tweet advertising rates.

I joined Sky CPM about two months ago and I must admit that when I first joined this network I was feeling very pleased at the kind of results I was getting. OK, they were not making huge sums of money for me but they were easily out performing Adsdaq, Smowtion and Underdog combined.

Sadly, as with many such networks, this did not last.

I soon noticed that my income was not going up at all, not even a cent.

I did not worry about it and continued to serve their ads but then I was checking one day and saw the following announcement on the control panel:

IMPORTANT: BANNERS ARE CURRENTLY NOT MAKING REVENUE DUE TO THE ADVERTISEMENT DELIVERY PROBLEMS. PLEASE REMOVE OUR ADVERTISEMENTS.
We are not sure, If SkyCPM will even return back, payments will be paid as soon as possible. We will try to solve the situation and choose the best way.

There was no email informing any members of this, which I found very unprofessional.

That message has been there for the past month or so and nobody’s income is going up so I think we can petty much come the conclusion that SkyCPM is dead and buried.

Their tag line is : SkyCPM.com – Welcome in CPM heaven.

The people who created this have no idea how fitting that tag line really would be.

I was not even expecting it, but last night Google updated their Page Rank system. I was not expecting it because they only recently updated it about a month ago and they normally do it every four months or so.

Still, you will not hear me complaining because I received some very nice results.

Although there was no change in the page rank of this blog I did see the following changes:

bethnalgreenceltic.com = 2
deansaliba.com = 2
eastlondonhosting.co.uk = 2
footballreloaded.com = 1

I am very happy as they all went from zero to their current numbers in one jump.

Did you do better than me?
