Update :
Admin Neobux notify that:

Today at 00:43Automatic Recycling
Automatic Recycling is now fully automatic.
There's no need to visit the referral's listing page anymore for it work nor it will work there again.
Now
all referrals that have reached their inactivity period will be
automatically recycled throughout the day. If you have a pack with
vacation mode, it will be great. If you don't it will be great as well
as you'll never lose the benefits of having a new referral when the
previous one is inactive and you missed the manual triggering.
Undoubtedly this is an excellent and transparent profit increase not to
mention that it removes the hassle of having to remember to do it once
in a while.
The fully automatic recycling works for all memberships.

Automatic Recycling Chart
Since
you won't get a message anymore when the referrals are automatically
recycled, you'll now have a chart indicating the daily total of
recycled referrals. This chart is only available for Golden Members.
Since
referrals will be automatically recycled throughout the day instead
of being bulk-recycled, the value you see for "Today" will change as
the day goes by and more referrals are recycled.

Transfer to the Golden Pack Balance Chart
Now,
will have a chart that will show you all transfers you've made to the
Golden Pack Balance. This chart works exactly as the Rental Balance
Transfers chart. Obviously only available to Golden Members.

Edit:
Just to answer a few questions made in this thread:
- The lock still works and will still prevent a referral from being automatically recycled.
- As explained above, referrals are recycled throughout
the day. This means that after they've been marked as inactive
(depending on each user's inactivity period) they'll be recycled during
the day. Instead of seeing blocks of referrals being recycled in a
few hours you'll see a few each minute.

2010 was an amazing year. Here are some of the changes we had:

FORUM

More Sub-Forums
The "Everything Else" section was split into several sub-forums allowing for a more organized and clean general section.
Activity Rewards
Introduced
an activity reward based on user's help throughout the forum. This
allows us to reward users that help other users with their replies.
Online Indicator
Added
an online indicator to show if the user has been online or not in the
past 10 minutes which is very useful if you're expecting a reply from
that particular user.
TOP 10
A
monthly, weekly, and daily TOP 10 was introduced which shows the top
users who have been most active in those periods. A tag in the forum
also shows their status in the TOP 10.
External Link Indicator
Whenever
a link points somewhere else other than NeoBux, you'll see an
indicator preceding it which allows you to decide if you want to follow
the link or not. As every forum link, the new page will always open in
a new window.
Automatic URL Detection
Links
are now automatically converted even if users forget to use the URL
tag. This simplifies overall posting and makes URL navigation easier.
YouTube Video Preview
This is an unannounced feature that automatically previews 3 parts of a YouTube video in a URL. No special tag is required.
Strikethrough Text
Just a simple way to strikethrough a particular string.
NeoBux Tags and Icons
A way to use our icons and tags in your messages to better illustrate them. Makes it simpler for who reads it.
Multi-Colored Quotes
Provides
each sequential quote with a different background color. Not only it
provides a more beautiful layout but it also makes multi-quoting
messages easier to read.
Color Tag
Enables users to color their message's text.

GENERAL

NeoBux Full Rebranding
The
NeoBux trademarked brand went through a careful and precise
rebranding. This made the NeoBux brand stand out of everything else by
proving a concise, rememberable and professional logo and overall
branding. The website went through the same changes to become more
simple to use and to look professional as to match the services we
provide. This was another huge change in the Paid-to-Click industry
which is full of eye-candy styles that aren't suitable for our target
audience.
This was our first big growth in the past year where everything went up and didn't stop.
$30 million withdrawn
Back
on May we had reached the $20 million withdraw milestone. Since our
growth since then, we've made another milestone in just a few months.
Given the amount of permanent discounts and ways to purchase using your
Main Balance that were introduced later, this last milestone seemed
harder to reach but the non-stopping exponential growth helped us reach
there and, according to predictions, the next milestone is just a few
months away.

REFERRALS AND ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

Better Filter for Manual Recycling
This
one was a real life saver for many users. Manual recycling's
pre-selection filter was improved over automated recycling to benefit
those users who actually manage their accounts. No harm was done to the
few that use the automated recycling which is even greater.
Toolbar Referrals Average
This
tool destined to Ultimate Pack members allows a quick and easy insight
of their referrals current and projected average without the need of
visiting the referrals statistics page over and over.
Automatic Vacation Mode
The
Holy Grail for all members that have a Golden Pack with vacation mode.
Now, if you forget or can't view advertisements in a particular day,
and have this option enabled, you'll still receive from your referrals
the next day because you'll be automatically given a vacation day for
the day you've missed. This can literally save hundreds of dollars for
our users.
Mini Charts for all Pages
Mini
Charts are now available for all pages regardless of the number of
referrals. This is one of the most useful tools an Ultimate Pack holder
can have and is now available freely on any amount of referrals per
page.
PayPal for Advertisement Purchases
To
help the incredible increase in click packs purchase we've been
having, PayPal was cleared for all users that need to purchase a click
pack.
Purchases Using Main Balance
Right
now users can purchase everything using their Main Balance funds. The
only thing missing was the Golden Membership purchase/renewal and the
Advertisement Click Packs. This has been added.
Filter for Locked Referrals
Now users can see only their locked referrals which provides a better management of their best referrals.
Locked Referral Recycling Prevention
To
avoid mistakes, users are now blocked from recycling locked referrals.
To recycle a locked referral, the user must unlock that referral
first.
Balances Merging
The
Rental and the Main Balance have been merged for referral renting and
renewal. This helps you to manage your referrals more efficiently if
you don't have enough Rental Balance but have enough in your Main
Balance.
Renewal Chart up to 720 days
Due
to the extended renewal period that was introduced, the renewal
schedule chart has been increased from 90 to 720 days so that you can
have a better understanding of the current renewal schedule of your
referrals.
Renewal Info
Below
the renewal chart, not only you'll find the number of referrals you
need to renew each month but you'll have have all the calculations made
for all the renewal periods available. This simplifies a lot your
management.
More Referral Packs
Currently
users can, and depending on their membership/pack, access 18 types of
referral packs. No more need to choose between a small and a big pack
when you have many in between.
Languages
NeoBux
was originally available only in English and Portuguese. Right now we
have 8 different languages and many more to come. This had an amazing
and unexpected increase in new users and new direct referrals gathered
by our users. Also helped increase the current global average. All of
this because it's all very simple when everyone understands it, right?

PRICE CHANGES AND PRIZES

Discounts for Renewals
This
was by far the most used and praised reduction we've ever had. New
renewal periods were introduced with discounts up to 30%. Users rapidly
adopted these new discounts to their account management being the 150
and 240 days the most popular ones. This decreased the break even point
to an amazing low value.
Hourly Prizes
Each hour 60 prizes of $0.50 each are randomly drawn to 60 lucky users and credited to their main balances.
This
had an incredible increase in user's activity and was the main reason
for the extremely low drop this holiday season. This also contributed
to stabilize activity throughout the day since many users started
viewing advertisements in the times we had a very low activity. Not
only are the users benefited from this but also we all are.
Rental Discount for Standard Members
An
amazing and permanent discount of 12% in Rentals and Renewals for
Standard members was introduced. The usual $0.25 price was dropped to
$0.22. This price reduction combined with the overall average increase
made and still makes all Standard members happy.
New AutoPay Discount
AutoPay's
discount had a 50% increase from 10% to 15% of the base rental price.
Needless to say that this was a major benefit for all of those that
used AutoPay and an obvious reason for many others to use it.

THOUGHTS FOR THE FUTURE
2010 was splendid in every possible way.
We've
reached new heights in several periods. The most remarkable were when
we've changed to a professional branding, when we introduced the hourly
prizes, and when we introduced more languages.

New users' registrations have increased in a way we didn't predicted. Advertisements are being sold like never before.
As
you know, we live mainly with the profits of the advertisements we and
our users expose. This has always been more than enough but never a
huge profit was made from it. Enough to pay our users and their
referral's advertisement visualization and still a bit more. That's the
reason why all our other services are channeled to pay all expenses
and backup balances. Last year this changed to an incredible level.
We've had lots of profit from advertisement sales/commission alone and
this is the best we can have as a Paid-To-Click service.
Not only
our advertisement space provides users with the currently best success
ratio but also provides the advertised sites with a huge increase in
traffic analytics. We still put sites to the top just by sending them
millions of hits per day.
Averages during all year were higher than
2009 and this holiday season we had the highest average ever compared
to previous years. Only reasons to celebrate.

We've always been
cautious about profits as you know. Currently we could increase click
amount value, for example, but we won't (at least for now). As you've
witnessed, all extra profits where distributed through new permanent
discounts and several outstanding bonuses.
This year, and counting
on the previous growth trend, seems that it will be a wonderful one. If
predictions are correct you can expect several new ways of earning
more. There are lots ways of doing so and they'll be given out
according to availability. Although we're still light-years away for
the low prices we provide, you haven't seen it all yet.

Regarding new features, we have very big ones planned for 2011. Some are really amazing.

Thank you for being who you are and I hope to have a bigger and even more satisfying retrospective to give you next year.
This could never be achieved without you! Thank you!

Update today 13th January, 2011
Admin neobux notify that:

Yesterday at 08:05

Our users have offered, throughout the years, wonderful profit calculators.
It was time for us to introduce our own.

I am proud to present you with the best, most reliable, most sophisticated profit calculator available:
The Projection Center!

You
can find a link for it at bottom of your rented referrals statistics
and in a few purchase pages. For now, you can click The Projection
Center .

This is the missing tool everyone needs.
This will
be the tool that will help you understand in great detail, with
perfect precision, what your account is capable of, what you can do and
also what you shouldn't do to make it as profitable as possible.

The
Projection Center was made using some of the finest tools we have
available internally and now we've combined them all into one and we
give you complete access to it for free.

This tool will take your
current account status and predict, according to your own
preferences, the ups and downs your account will have up to a period
of 6 years from now.

You won't have to worry anymore about:

Scheduled referral extensions nor their incremental price (where applicable).
Membership renewals.
Golden Pack renewals.

You don't need to calculate on your own:

Profits for the different types of extensions.
Influences of averages in a specific period.

You don't need to purchase a thing to clearly and quickly discover:

The benefits of a membership upgrade.
The benefits of an Ultimate Golden Pack.
The benefits of renting referrals in any price range.

Basically, the Projection Center, does everything for you.
Not
only that, but you'll tell it what needs to be done and when it
should be done. You have complete control of your account's future
projection.

The projection itself is completely accurate and
everything needed (based on our prices and multiple overlapping rules)
has been taken into consideration to give you the best result you can
possibly have: The real one.

Although this tool is perfect in terms of calculation, there are still many options and features that will be added soon.

Currently you can:

Simulate a Golden Pack purchase if you're a standard member.
Simulate an Ultimate Golden Pack purchase if you're a Golden member without a Golden Pack.
Simulate
the rental of up to 2000 referrals renting 100 referral packs at a
time if you're a Golden member or a standard member simulating a
Golden Pack purchase with all incremental prices are calculated
throughout the timeline.
Simulate the same rental as above but
also going up to 4000 referrals renting 200 referral packs at a time
and renting from 4000 to 10000 referrals using 150 referral packs at a
time if you're a Golden member with an Ultimate Pack or a Golden
member simulating the Ultimate Golden Pack purchase with all
incremental prices are calculated throughout the timeline.
See your projected current balance from now up to 6 years from now in 1, 2, and 3 weeks increments.
See the projected profit at the end of the projected timeline with a yearly, monthly, weekly and daily average.
See
how much you'll spend, given your current account's status and all
simulated and selected options, in referral extensions and rentals,
membership purchases and renewals, Golden Pack purchases (only the
Ultimate one) and renewals.
See how much you'll earn, given
your current account's status and all simulated and selected options,
with your own advertisement visualizations (based on the minimum amount
for your account type or simulated membership/pack purchase), and the
amount you'll earn from your referrals' advertisement visualizations.

Nothing has been left uncertain or forgotten.
This is the tool that will display what many users mentally project but in a detailed and precise way.

It's now more simple than ever to make your account profitable.
Project and simulate before you make any unrecoverable mistake.

It's your account, it's your profit. Make it the best!

Neobux AutoRenew Is Here !

Update today 13th January, 2011
Admin neobux says that:

Today at 07:31
Back
on 2008, NeoBux invented referral renting (kindly referred to as
"Rent-a-Ref") but we've left so many things in the list that yet need to
be done. If we don't do it, no one will as you know.

We're now
introducing one of those pending additions which is a great new tool
not only to referral management but also to help you take care of all
the important things on your life as we do the hard work for you.

AutoRenew
This
is a great new tool that will help many of you that often forget to
renew referrals and learn the hard way that there's no turning back.
Now you can stop looking at the clock and enjoy what you're doing.

I'll leave you with the AutoRenew FAQ which is self-explanatory:
AutoRenew is the automatic renewal process of your rented referrals.
Contrary
to AutoPay which will work only when a referral makes his/her first
click for a day and will extend for one day the referral's deadline,
AutoRenew works every day (*) and prolongs your referral’s deadline
based on your chosen renewal period and time before expiration.

You can enable AutoRenew in your rented referrals listing page the same way you do with AutoPay.

Before enabling it the two following options will be given:

Period:
This will be the exact period for which the referral's rental will be
extended. You can choose any of the usual manual renewal periods (15,
30, 60, 90, 150, and 240 days) to receive the benefit from the
related discounts for each period (except for the 15 days one).
Before:
The time before the expiration when the automated renewal will be
triggered. You can choose any of the available number of days and your
referral will be extended if the rental deadline is the same or below
the chosen number of days.
(*) AutoRenew will only be
attempted for each referral once per day. If you have no funds in your
rental and / or main balance or some unexpected error occurs, the
referral(s) that weren't renewed will be only checked again
approximately 24 hours after. We advise you to choose a higher number of
days between the first renewal check and the referral's deadline, so
that you'll have the most chances of getting all referrals
automatically renewed. It's your responsibility to have enough funds
for the renewals and always check if any referral has failed to be
renewed automatically.

Point Your Referrals In The Right Direction At Neobux

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 12:08 AM PST
Today 18th January,2011
Admin neobux said that:

Today at 05:51
Now you can get your referral link pointing to any of the pages available to visitors.

This
way you can, for example, point your referral link to your forum
success story so that your potentially new referral may see your story
before registering.

It's quite simple to use.
You'll see an
icon on the top bar that will show blue when the page you're in can be
seen by a visitor and it will turn gray when it cannot. For example,
the account pages cannot be linked because no visitor would be able to
see them.

Click to see your referral link for the page your in.
The page you're in cannot have a referral link.

Another easy, unobtrusive, and helpful way for getting referrals.
Good luck!
