When Riviton Launched its first GoViral 1.0 plugin they had no clue how valuable it would really be until some further testing found that proves this plugin actually did provide incredible results!

Testing and plugin background:

A friend of the plugin owner had given a copy to the owner of a popular site UpVines.net and after he had installed the plugin his traffic and revenue quadrupled.  (You can see this proof if you look at his Alexa status and see when his traffic hit viral status) His revenue was then making over $10,000/day and increased from there until country specific Adsense policies hit him, but thankfully the full aprox. $81,434.00 was finalized and paid.  The site now utilizes Taboola monetization and continues to get huge amounts of traffic and ad revenue.

Since then the GoViral plugin has been implemented on many other sites including ViralFlood.com, Astoundable.com, MeaningFilled.com, ViralDoza.com, SmokingDesigners.com, and many others.

This plugin works especially well with content that is socially positive where sharing is most likely.  The popup makes the possibility of converting your visits into shares MUCH more likely as you will see below…

Thankfully we were able to get some stats of when the GoViral plugin was installed on Astoundable.com:

This specific plugin paid for itself within the first day of implementation. It all depends on the type of content you are creating and the share prompt, but after implementing the GoViral plugin we did see a jump in our overall share count and a huge jump in Fan page likes thanks to the second popup. —Paul, Astoundable.com

As you can see this plugin can increase the your shares which will translate into traffic, but then when something really goes viral, you’ll soon see why this plugin is MUCH more useful then other traditional share buttons.

The popup plugin uses 2 different popups.  The first is a Facebook share button, image and editable prompt text.  Then if the user shares, a fan page “LIKE” popup appears.

You can see the graphic we pulled from the SmokingDesigners blog below:

You can see how it works above and also see it in action at Astoundable.com, ViralFlood.com, or many others…

Full List Of GoViral 5.0 Popup Features:

Core Features:

1. Facebook Share popup & second Facebook “like” our page popup on end of post.
2. Facebook Share popup & second Facebook “like” our page popup on end of YouTube video play.
3. All the text is editable in admin.
4. NEW 5.0 FEATURES:
   1. Edit share prompt text on each post. (Perfect for leveraging your prompt text verbiage depending on the type of post. e.g. If you post a video post, then you could edit your prompt to “Thanks for watching” or “Enjoy Watching? Please Share”, however for a post this would not be appropriate so you can now edit this on each post.  For a post with cat abuse activism related content you could have the prompt say something like “Help stop this. Please Share!”)  We have found that this can generate AMAZING results depending on your audience, content, and current traffic.
   2. Edit Facebook Like prompt on each post.
   3. Edit Facebook Page URL to be displayed for the like PopUp on each post.  Easily build custom Facebook pages depending on the type of content you are creating.

   11. Facebook App ID integration.
   12. Extra fast VS original GoViral plugin
5. Delay time on post popup editable in admin.

This most recent Microsoft purchase seems to be one of the worst.  When Skype was purchased It was a great deal for Microsoft, because Microsoft didn’t just resolve to remove the name, but instead add it to its collection of good companies.  Its sad that Microsoft has decided to remove the name “NOKIA” and place “MICROSOFT”  in its place.  The value of the brand “NOKIA” itself isn’t worth deleting from the mobile phone competition and its sad to see it happening.  Microsoft isn’t that bad, but why would you buy a profitable and well-known company and then just take the name away?  The name “NOKIA” has been around for a long time and seeing it be removed and deleted is only a bad move for Microsoft in my mind!

Why Is It A Bad Move?

Its a bad idea because no one in there right mind would desolve a previously profitable and aged company for its own less-known for mobile phones name.  Its just unfortunate.  Microsoft doesn’t know as much of the mobile phone industry as Nokia did in the first place.  They think they can do it better?  Maybe Microsoft just has too much money on their hands and needs a place to throw it?

Its also a bad move because some previous employees plan on making new company.  The new company will be ironically called “Newkia.”  It doesn’t matter why its being called this name, but what matters is what “Newkia” is planning on doing.  Newkia’s plan is to make “better mobile phones.”  This should cause utter fright to the newest sellout of Nokia, because they most likely know the mobile-phone world better then Microsoft will.  This news was via RedmondPie.

Nokia could have had explosive possibilities had it not been for the stupid buyout.  Right now all the mobile phone companies are leveling their competition because everyone is catching up on the technology.  These companies are also lacking in major innovation.  This causes other companies to be left on a level playing field for major future developments.  Apple doesn’t have to be the only company that made historical breakthroughs in technology.  Its time for a new company like Nokia, or any other to come up with “the next big thing.”

The truth is that Nokia could have been a sustaining and incredible company!  Do you have any thoughts?  Please share them on our: VaultFeed Facebook Page.

A few friends of mine are eBay entrepreneurs and have been for over 14 years, however in the recent past months eBay has been dealing very unfairly with sellers in particular.  This is not a rant because I am mad at eBay, but this is a simple, truthful review of how eBay is dealing unfairly, and supports those that are not doing business well.  eBay is truly a sad monopoly that could end soon if they don’t get their act together.

eBay is one of the biggest used market places on the internet where you can sell iPhones, smartphones, and generally anything from cars to fresh rocks from your back yard.  While eBay may be the biggest, they aren’t the nicest, and are defiantly dealing unfairly with sellers around the world.  You may ask WHY?  The answer lies in how they deal with sellers who they don’t think are “good” in there eyes.  Its sad, because eBay is a great place, but their policies ban users even if they are good!  Please read the story bellow:

The Story of a fellow eBay Seller:  “I have been a loyal eBay customer for over 14 years since 1990.  Not only have I been a good eBay customer, but I have paid fees in excess of $50,000 in the past 4 years alone!  Yes, I sold around $500K, but the fees are very high.  Not only that, I have lost over $5000 in scams led on by people claiming that I sent them an empty box.  However the box was defiantly not empty and the weight in the postal system did not change.  The main point is that eBay cares about the buyers and doesn’t care a lot about the seller.  What is seller protection if they don’t protect you?  Thats the question I have asked every time that they let a scammer do me in.  I wish this could stop, but eBay still doesn’t care.  eBay also is the only real place to sell used items, so you honestly have no choice other then to conform and work with the system or die.  Recently after all these problems I have encountered an even worse problem occurred!  I got an email stating that I was banned indefinitely!  After years and years of selling, and now I am banned FOREVER?  This must be madness I thought, however I thought it must be wrong.  So I called a representative to talk to them about the issue and the email.  She did some looking on her computer and after awhile and muttering of the vocal cords, she had no real answer.  She stated that even though I was improving my seller standing, I was not improving it enough?  I was very surprised because my feedback was not that bad at all compared to other people that were selling just fine and I did EVERY thing I could to keep everyone happy.  I even offered people the most ridiculous things to make them happy.  I remember one time sending a care package to a buyer that was unhappy because he didn’t receive a cord in the auction that I listed and said that was not included.  But because eBay is so HARDCORE about making the buyer happy, they fail to realize that they are actually making a unhealthy buying environment, where people will buy just because they know they can extort there way to anything they want after they buy it.  You are essentially controlled by the buyer.  If they don’t like ANYTHING, EVEN if it was listed down to the T, they can leave negative feedback that does not represent the seller.  The seller is then left with NO recourse other then to be indefinitely banned for NO reason, and FOREVER, on no actual terms.  Its a shame that such a great way to sell has to be the worst way to sell, however its the only way to sell.  Thats why I think its getting close to a selling outlet monopoly re-labeled as eBay. One time I sold a blackberry.  It was sold as “NEW-OTHER” and it was brand new.  It was never used, and it still had the plastic pieces from the factory on it, however I didn’t have the original box, or the headphones.  Obviously I wouldn’t say that I would include them, because they were not included.  I of coarse said how there was “NO original box, and NO headphones”  I also went on to state in the listing that everything in the picture you would receive is all that you would receive.  The picture only included the picture of the blackberry phone itself.  That is all!  Then I see that the seller has left a negative feedback because they say there was “no original box” and “no headphones”  I thought it was madness!  How can eBay let someone leave feedback for something that you disclosed perfectly?  It just doesn’t make sense!  Then I asked the buyer If I could do anything, and they wanted a partial refund of $40 so they could cover the cost of the things that they thought were missing but in the listing were actually not there.  Then I was VERY mad!  So I contacted eBay, and they cant do anything, because they say that I “opened the line of communication”  This gets crazier!  I have this same thing happen over and over, and because I cant make any money if I buy peoples happiness and positive feedback I will fail.  And this is about the time that I get an eBay saying that my account was “indefinitely suspended”  Do you think this was fair?  Because it is defiantly not fair!  In fact I am almost starving now due to the fact that I cant sell on eBay.  eBay just doesn’t care, and I called many times and they wont do ANYTHING about the  “indefinitely suspended” eBay account.”

eBay problems and possible solutions:

• People leave feedback for any reason and this is not monitored by eBay.  eBay needs to monitor buyers and their feedback to see if it is appropriate.
• eBay does not honor seller protection and DSR feedback protection on the behalf of the seller.  eBay needs to honor what they say they will.
• eBay wont reconsider “indefinitely suspended” accounts for any reason, even if it absolutely for no reason and no cause!
• eBay allows actual extortion through the ability of sellers to ask unreasonable things of you in return for “positive feedback”
• eBay allows other account users with lots of negative feedback which could be legitimate negative feedback with out a notice, because they are selling more quantity.  The little guy dies and the big one lives.  eBay isn’t fair fair and square!

Here is an account that has recently been banned for no good cause:

Here is an account that is STILL active with WAY more negative feedback:

As you can see, its unfair.  Many sellers don’t even have enough items and sales to really get a better negative-to-positive feedback ratio.  The truth is, that everyone would be happy if eBay didn’t encourage buyer’s to leave negative feedback for no reason through the huge marketing effort of eBay to advertise “Buyer Protection”

Summary:

eBay needs to treat all sellers the same, they need to treat incorrect feedback left on a seller as a bad nock.  Its a privilege to BUY on eBay, not only to sell.  eBay should ban users for leaving negative feedback for no reason.  eBay should also ban users for not communicating when the poor seller is doing everything he/she can to make the buyer happy.  It isn’t fair for eBay to treat sellers the way they do.  Its time for a change.  The only sad thing is that it wont change.  Most likely eBay will either piss a lot of people off, or they will continue to treat and abuse the small business sellers to the point that small business in the U.S. and other countries is stifled.
