How to disable warnings and error messages in Firefox

Firefox is a great choice for Autosurfing: It is stable and fast, includes a pop-up blocker and it does not choke on bad html pages or malicious javascript tags.
But there is one pretty major downside of Firefox which aint good for use with autosurf programs at all: It keeps displaying error messages and warning popups! These message windows ("Could not be loaded... Timed out... Authorization failed...") slow down surfing tremendously and can even prevent the autosurf bar from loading the next website, thus costing you lots of pageviews.
So how do you disable these windows?

Start Firefox and change the URL to say "about:config". A list of Firefox configuration preferences will come up.
Now scroll down until you see the entry "browser.xul.error_pages.enabled" and change this entry to state "True".
Now you can continue surfing. From now on, Firefox will display a warning page instead of popping up an error message.

Additionally, you can mess with the timeout settings since there are always a few slower websites in the rotations. If you choose to do this, set the filter in your Firefox config dialog to say "timeout", then modify all "network.http" values.

These small config changes make Firefox an even better browser to use with autosurf programs!

StudioTraffic 2nd year Anniversary

StudioTraffic is celebrating its 2nd anniversary. ST is definately the most solid paid to surf program on the web and is still growing.

Read on:
<<
This is a joyous month. Before StudioWalker, we were providing internet services for nearly 6 years. We realized that there was a need for a cheaper and faster solution and thus StudioWalker was born. The concept was to provide ready made business packages and advertising which everyone could afford. We aimed to provide complete business and advertising solutions under one roof. This is why we named everything under ‘Studio’. Though it is all compact and under one roof, we will walk to every corner of the world.

We started gathering people to watch our StudioWalker customers’ sites. The result was so good that popularity soared. All of a sudden, our advertisers asked to be surfers too and surfers wanted to be advertisers. 100 members increased to 1000 members in no time. We need to stress that we never did any advertising campaign for StudioWalker in the early stage up till now. Our memberships just keep on increasing through word of mouth. The potential was so great that we felt this new concept needed its own name - StudioTraffic was born three months later. Right after we moved to StudioTraffic’s very own dedicated server, business just kept flowing in. In fact, it was so popular that StudioTraffic now needs a cluster of 5 servers to keep up with the traffic. We are ranked in the top 1200 most popular site among billions of websites worldwide according to a popular statistics company. We have already exceeded our forecast sales of $5 million dollars with a membership base of hundreds of thousands.

In the past 2 years, StudioTraffic has gone through challenging times. Critics say we wouldn’t make it past 6 months. Did we? Yes, our business is still flourishing and our membership is increasing everyday.

Critics then said that we are lucky and we wouldn’t make it past a year. Did we? We did it with flying colors.

Critics then said that the typical failure period is 18 months. Did we survive? Yes, but we did run into problems. Our traffic was so high that our servers couldn’t handle the load. We worked day in and day out to fix the problem. We were unable to do any surfing for nearly 2 months. Did we survive? We sure did and we emerged stronger than ever. We have overcome all sorts of difficulties.

Time has passed so fast and now we are celebrating our 2nd year anniversary. Cheers!

How is it possible that we can survive 730 days or 17,520 hours?

Our greatest asset lies in our people, our members, our very own StudioTraffic members! Yes, it is you that has kept us at the top.

During challenging times, not one single member deserted us. Our members believed in us and supported us all the way. To this, please accept our deepest gratitude and salutation. With you, our members, behind us we can do anything.

We are in for a wild exciting ride. Later this month, we will start running StudioBlogger.com, StudioHug.com (first phrase), StudioRocks.com and StudioShopper.com. If you have been following our newsletter, we have mentioned that by getting 20,000 subscribers at one site, we will achieve $1 million dollars of revenue in a month from 5 sites. Is it difficult to get that number of subscribers for a site?

No, it is easy. If every member of StudioTraffic subscribes to any one of the sites they are interested in, we will achieve that number of subscribers in no time.

Based on the current performance, StudioPay will make approximately a half a million dollars in revenue this year. With the introduction of debit cards and launching of our other programs which will also use StudioPay as their account manager, we are confident we can hit a million dollars profit within a year. If StudioPay starts doing business with the public, the earning potential will increase ten fold.

Our conservative forecast in the first quarter of next year will be approximately $2 million dollars in profit (minus operating expenses) a month from all Studio Programs combined, based on minimum of $30 million dollars in sales in a year.

StudioBlogger will be the next big thing on the net. Just how good is it? Imagine writing on StudioBlogger, your daily thoughts. Allow others to really know you, share tips and interest. Most importantly, promote StudioTraffic on it. All you have to do is to promote your own blog and voila, you can make money. And if you subscribe to a higher plan, you can advertise your blog at our forum. Now, I am sure we will see a big interest here. The only difference between our blog and our competitors is that we will share our advertising revenue from your blog with you. We will bring the advertising opportunities to you.

StudioShopper will not just be a site selling StudioTraffic merchandise. It will be a worldwide merchandise sourcing site. It will work both ways. We will do wholesale and partnering with members to sell millions of products both online and offline.

StudioRocks will be like Sony, BMG and American Idol all combined. You get to submit your work, to be aired on StudioRocks radio. Listeners will vote for you. Every month, we will give free $200 ST upgrade to the most popular artists/group/comedian. We will partner with you and sell your submission (mp3) at StudioRocks. We will even distribute to other popular mp3 sites such as iTunes. Statistics have shown that 50% of downloads at Napster are not your usual Eminiem but rather tunes from independent artists you never heard before. If you are popular with our members, we will even offer you a recording contract worth $60,000. We will be one of the first sites to introduce ‘open source’ work. If you like writing lyrics, you can pen your work at StudioRocks. If you like to compose and someone’s lyrics caught your eye, you can help them compose the tune for it. Need a singer? Members at StudioRocks can participate and offer their vocal talents. The final results rock! We will collect royalties by marketing your work, these will also be shared with the member.

Advertising is the core of everything. We will start doing PPC (pay per click) and searches at StudioTraffic. We will even extend PPC services to all our websites. We are sure we will have an advertisers target market no matter which industry they are in. We will also start doing targeted ads where advertisers can choose which account level they want their ads to be shown to.

Members will start receiving a free toolbar from us. The toolbar will rest nicely on your desktop with full search capabilities. You will have easy access to all of our websites too. All it takes is a click on the toolbar and you will be automatically logged in at any of our websites. Advertisers can place their buttons on the toolbar too but it will be expensive. We aim to increase our advertising revenue tenfold. Someone at the forum remarked that the advertising market has increased and is a billion dollar market now. We will get a slice of that market.

We will not stop here. We will start programming work for a gaming site in a month’s time. We will hold tournaments and capture the gaming industry. As you can see, we plan to do any kind of business online and offline. The potential is so huge, we have barely started. All of these, we will share with you. Ultimately, all Studio Programs will be managed by all our StudioTraffic members.

Looking forward to a prosperous year with you,

John Horan

TS25.com still going strong

1,000,000 bonus credits per week is a mark which aint bad... read on.

<<
After several weeks of watching Syndicate #1 walk away with over 1,000,000 credits, Syndicate #2 has stepped up to the plate and answered back! We would like to officially congratulate those members that were in Syndicate #2 last week for an incredible performance resulting in a total reward of over 1,000,000 credits for the week! In fact, it worked out that all members in that syndicate received OVER 35,000 credits EACH … and that was just for a single week! Of course, this doesn't even count all the credits they earned from their regular surfing.

We would like to take this opportunity to put the whole thing into perspective so that all members can truly see the value in getting to the top few syndicates. We will use Syndicate #2 and their impressive effort to highlight this point.

If you were a Platinum member in Syndicate #2 last week and you surfed a total of 10,000 pages (although a lot of them surfed far more!), you would have received on average nearly 80,000 credits just for your surfing effort. You would then have received an additional 35,000 credits from your syndicate earnings. This totals up to be a whopping 115,000 credits! Incredibly, this works out to be over 11 credits per page surfed which is better than a 1:2 ratio. And the best part is that you don't even have to refer a single person to get this amount of traffic (although it is very hard to keep quiet about something this amazing).

And the best part about this program is that we actually deliver the traffic you earn and we deliver it FAST!!! In fact, a single traffic campaign can currently deliver over 2,000 hits per day! And remember, all upgraded members can set up multiple campaigns at the same time and literally receive tens of thousands of hits every single day!

As always, we are deeply thankful for all the effort that you and the thousands of other members are putting in each day. It is due to your tireless dedication that ts25 is among the most respected and desirable traffic exchanges in this industry. Keep up the great work! You are truly part of something incredible!

Sincerely,

TS25 Administration
Logiscape Technologies Inc.
