In some of the Discussions and Comments some words come up in BLUE (highlighted).

Now this looks as though its a lead to something else.

For those who use this, PLease tell this DUMMY what it is and how do I use it and do I earn from it..............

OK, now SPILL WHAT YOU HAVE TO ME.............

I have not run across anyone who knows for sure. When we had these words before, it seemed if you incorporated them in your discussion you earned more. With these, if you direct your cursor towards them you get a pop up link to an ad. I do not know if doing this earns for you or not. If it earns for MyLot, though, in the long run it earns for you.

The BLUE words have a link to myspace.

Hi GardenGerty...
Yeah this is something that I think all of us are wanting to know. I know I have see this color coded words on other sites and it leads to ads for other sites. When you click on them and go visit that site it gave you more earnings in your account. That is how it worked on other sites. Maybe that is what mylot is trying to get started. I think once they see all the questions they will alert us on what is going on. One thing for sure...mylot is making something from this. Don't you think..

Then a myspace user must have bid for a certain keyword that happened to be a part of a sentence. This link will lead to a myspace profile (probably a band profile promoting their music) when clicked.

From what I've read, these are key words used by advertisers. I'm not sure if it is true or not because I've only seen it once and didn't click on it. I heard that, if you hover your cursor over it, you'll see the ad's IP address or something... not sure.

It is bothersome since no one has explained this newest feature. I hope an alert goes out to all of us so that we all know what they are.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20417)   ranked 64 out of 1,159 in computing  3 months ago

In your response, both key and advertiser are underlined in blue. Yes, they pop up some ads or links to ads. It would be helpful to know how to optimize this feature.

In my Discvussion the word BLUE is high lighted, but in my responce comment I used the word BLUE and it is not high lighted.

Scatch head and try to work this out,

myLot reputation of 98/100. mentalward (4337)   ranked 67 out of 1,159 in computing  3 months ago

Neither one is highlighted from my end! This truly is strange. Maybe they are key words directed specifically at us, personally, when we type them. But, that doesn't explain why BLUE was highlighted once and not both times.

This truly is baffling!!! confusedblink


myLot reputation of 82/100. hiccup (6588)   ranked 30 out of 1,159 in computing  3 months ago

I did not look at the E-mail but from the room (myLot)
Maybe it's only in myLot this happens???

myLot reputation of 98/100. mentalward (4337)   ranked 67 out of 1,159 in computing  3 months ago

I think it is only here that we see those lines. I looked in myLot's FAQs and rules and regulations to see if they've added anything that might explain this but I couldn't find anything. I hope they will explain this to us soon!

hiccup that seems to be the question of the day and
not too many people know a darned thing about it.
The nearest I have come is they all lead to some
sort of ads, and I suppose those blasted stupid
one cent a click things so many mylotters are all
gung ho about. I haven't patience to sit and click'
some blasted thing for peanuts, not my style.I like
mylotting,and I make about thirty dollars a month
so that's okay


myLot reputation of 82/100. hiccup (6588)   ranked 30 out of 1,159 in computing  3 months ago

Hatley,
Your word PEOPLE was in BLUE????

I do hope there is some form of earnings in that, be nice if it is,

Hi, Hatley! "People" isn't blue when I read your reply, just like Hiccup said.

I've never seen a website that made such drastic changes without notifying their subscribers/"earners who make it possible for them to make a profit". It seems that myLot thinks we're a bunch of mushrooms--they keep us in the dark and feed us bull crap until enough people ask what's going on!

These words are links to advertisers and to my knowledge there is no way we can earn more money from them. I think this is just the way mylot is earning money to pay us.

Be nice if we were told what it does.

I have no idea but it's so irritating!! I hate things popping up when I'm moving my cursor around accidentally. I've begun to read things AFTER making sure my cursor is off the page!

I think it's probably more advertising revenue for myLot. I think they should compensate us for the irritation, maybe a monthly bonus or something, or pay us to click on the darned things.

I hate advertising so much. I know it serves a purpose but I'm not a consumer--I ascertain what I need, think about it, then go get it. I don't fall for advertising and I think there are a lot more like me every day in this stinking economy.

Oh yeah, sorry I couldn't answer your question but thanks for letting me rant like the madwoman I am! lol

I'd just like to know why a discussion I started on the subject got deleted! It may depend on your browser and operating system if you can see these blue links..I'm running Vista with IE8..I was getting a "processing" timer at one point the other day when hovering on these links,but today I was getting a little popup ad when I did so..I have yet to figure out the earning possibilities,Hiccup..I'll let you know once I get paid! happy

I think once you click on that word, it leads you to an advertisement related to that word. So for instance, you see 'debt' underlined, and you just press 'debt' it could take you to a site that tells you how to get rid of your debt. Or it might take you to a site that asks you to subscribe to a free e-letter each week about financial management.
