Q. Please introduce yourself to our readers?
Hello,
My name is Mike I am the owner of GPTNetworks, I am mostly in the Paid to click industry, I php Program, Largest ptc host on the web to date. I web design, I am the co-owner of many many websites, we strive on doing our best to make the ptc and station site(s) community a better place for our members.
Q. What is Dr-Surf? How can users benefit from it?
Well Dr-surf, is a Station site program, it’s kind of like a randomizer, hyip ect. combined into one.. It also includes ptp, This time we spiced it up with autosurf, due to the station sites from the past they have’nt done all that great so, we figured an autosurf that pays to surf pages, would benefit the site and the members as well.
Q. Why did you decide to open Dr-Surf?
When we purchased the dr-network sites we wanted to branch off in other directions, and try new things. We launched station sites before that were unsuccessful and didn’t do so great, they do fine the first few days of launch then just die out. We wanted something bigger and better, we listened to our members, some were annoyed with previous results from the unsuccessful station sites, so we did our best to improve the program, and I’m hoping we did just that by adding autosurf into the mix.
Q. There are some members that when mentioned “Dr” network they did not liked. Why do you think so?
Good question, I for one cared about the dr-network sites even when I was just a member, but when they closed down I was upset about it myself, People had requested payouts, People bought ads, and referrals, and they were left hanging. We stepped in and purchased all the sites, and we are in process of getting it recovered STILL, its a long journey and we’re slowly making a comeback for it. I hope one day they all see that Dr network sites are better now that theres a stable network that can make the sites better than they were before.
Q. How do you intend to further promote your projects?
We advertise to our current members we have over 92,000 accounts combined on our sites, we promote very little. We do buy ads here and there, but not often. We’re getting a reputation built, and it seems to be doing better every time we launch a new site. We do however advertise at large member based sites, that have lots of active members, such as clixncash and donkeymails, we get great results with them all the time. When we launch a new program we have to think of something that the others don’t have or offer. So it can become the featured attraction of the site , to get people to join it.
Q. How can you ensure the longevity of your program?
By having autosurf and ptp enabled I’m pretty sure it’ll last longer than the ones previously. Station sites are based on “team work” between the members and site itself. As long as stations are purchased, the site is still doing good and can proccess payouts.
Q. Is Dr-Surf a Ponzi scheme? How do you plan to pay your ROI?
Hmm very interesting question, In ways it is. But with the autosurf added where once a station(s) is purchased the buyer has the ability to place an ad up. They also get banner credits with their purchase for a banner ad to be viewed on the site as well. So I guess it could be either way.
Q. What are your goals for Dr-Surf?
Well we do have a future for dr-surf believe it or not. My business partner and myself have decided to do a station purchase contest, something that has probably never been done due to the uniqueness to the contest. We do hope that their is alot of “team work” between the site and members. This is not our site, this is the members site, we listened to them on what they wanted in a station program, and our goal is to fulfill their needs and wants in this program. Dr-surf may be just that example.
Q. What are your future plans?
I plan to get an offline job, been offered a managers position at a resteraunt, I plan to expand my online business, it’s already doing just that, not just with dr-surf but with a few other programs. Haven’t really decided on what else I have planned in the near future other than those 2 things, I’m driven to make my online business better day by day.
Q. What can you tell us about GPT Networks?
We been around since 2004. Formerly known as PTCNetworks. Then I went solo and few months later I had a few business partners then went in and created GPTNetworks, then It just grew from there, We offer numerous types of online services, such as hosting, station/ptc design, site addons, site installs, and we provide other services as well.
Q. What kind of questions you often receive from your members?
O lord, we get dozens and dozens of support tickets daily. We normally get ones that are from foreigners who know very little english. We’ve had one not too long ago ask “Where me payout? I hehe for 5 minute!” and we’ve had ones where they demand that we proccess their order when its only been pending for 5 minutes. Orders are proccessed fairly quickly, and is 98% of the time automatic orders.Also some ask when do we do payouts.. ect.. usually normal basic questions.
Q. Some people sent us emaila asking why their station are not earning since 2 days ago. What explanation do you have for those kind of questions?
I have noticed today we didn’t do to well on income today, less income means less station earnings to the members, The higher the level of the station the more their station will be randomly chosen to receive earnings from the next station purchase from someone else. The site is based on “team work” members must continue to buy stations in order for it to work for everyone.
Q. What do you think about eTalkMoney.com in general eTalk Network?
I have glanced at the site(s) today, I am however a member of etalkclix. Mark notified me to tell me about EtalkMoney this morning and I checked it out and saw dr-surf almost all over the place, and was impressed with the articles, I think it’s a very nice up to date resource page anyone can find about surfing and hyip sorta stuff.
Q. Would you like to add anything?
We hope that we have a long lasting relationship with our members, and everything goes great with the program, we continue to watch for payout requests constantly, we try to pay asap so members can spread the word about dr-surf. Fortunately we haven’t heard one complaint yet about dr-surf.com since we launched, And hope it stays that way. And I thank you very much for this opportunity it’s been extremely exciting to get to do an interview with etalkmoney.
