We will be installing some new server hardware Tuesday morning between 10 AM and 11 AM. Downtime should be no longer than 5-10 minutes.

Over 500 backorders for Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition (new formulation) began shipping last Friday. A small number of remaining backorders will be fulfilled over the next week.

6/17/09 UPDATE: Note that our new formulation has a new flavor (mixed berry) and thickness.

Commission checks for May 2009 volume were mailed out today.

We have been under attack for the last 48 hours from someone who is entering THOUSANDS of duplicate affiliate registrations and assigning them to random sponsors for reasons unknown. Be aware that you may receive one or more of these registrations. We have put new programming in place to quell the attacks and will be monitoring for further attempts.

Today we are debuting a new and very different login page for the SFI Affiliate Center.

It's MUCH "busier" than the previous login page, but we think you're going to like it. Here's why:

1. Many new affiliates join SFI every day but haven't yet been fully "sold" on SFI. With the text and images now included on the login screen, we can help further educate new affiliates about the broad scope of the SFI opportunity.

2. Enrollments and information on our growth adds credibility and excitement.

3. With the included text, we'll be giving search engines good information to spider. Consequently, people will start discovering SFI through search engine searches. And when they do, and when they decide to join SFI through the provided registration link, YOU can receive a share of the signups (provided you are participating in the EyeEarn Co-op).

Check out the new page now by going to www.sfimg.com.

We're pleased today to unveil a very cool new Power Rank (PR) Pointable Action. You can now earn a quick 50 PR points by letting your sponsor know you're committed to SFI and you're "ready to go."

Every SFI affiliate is welcome to complete this action and earn the 50 points, but we've designed it PRIMARILY for brand new affiliates. Hence, we've placed it on the PR Scoreboard in the "Getting Started" section (5th from the top).

The direct URL is: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/PRReadyToGo.sfi

For those of you active in sponsoring, this new action will be extremely valuable in identifying your "go-getters" –the kind of affiliates that can help you build a strong and thriving organization.

It works like this: Your new affiliates will be referred to the "Getting Started" PR actions and will be strongly encouraged to complete the "Commitment Message." Each time one of your affiliates completes this action, you'll receive a special "I'm ready to go" e-mail that includes their personal commitment to SFI and some other key data to help you begin working with them.

Receiving this e-mail tells you you have a new affiliate on your team who is serious about success with SFI.  And, of course, the more successful affiliates you have on your team, the more successful YOU will be.  So when you receive one of these special e-mails...respond to this new affiliate IMMEDIATELY!  Open wide the lines of communication, and begin the building of a mutually beneficial business relationship. Remember, it's this part of SFI–"Duplication"–that creates true WEALTH. See more on Duplication at: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Duplicate.sfi

Because MaxMalls Merchants have now been integrated into TripleClicks, we have set the domain MaxMalls.com to automatically redirect all traffic to TripleClicks.com.

All of our leaderboards are now sporting color coding to distinguish you, your sponsor, your upline Team Leaders, and your personally sponsored affiliates.

SFI makes its blog updates available to affiliates via RSS feeds. This helps you stay up to date on the latest SFI news and ensures you won't miss out on important information. Subscribing to RSS feeds is easy. Below are some simple instructions:

In Internet Explorer...Click the RSS icon in your IE toolbar. Click the arrow next to the RSS icon on your browser toolbar. In the dropdown menu, select “Get RSS 2.0 Feed.” You'll now see a feed page with directions on how to subscribe.

Via E-Mail Client:

The cool thing about subscribing to RSS feeds via your mail application is that you're notified in your e-mail inbox each time SFI updates its blog, so you're less likely to miss out on the latest posts.

To add an RSS feed in Mac's Mail app:

1. Choose "Add RSS Feeds" under File menu

2. Select the "Specify a custom feed URL" radio button at the top.

3. Enter http://news.sfimg.com/index.php

2. On the RSS Feeds tab, click New.

3. In the New RSS Feed dialog box, type http://news.sfimg.com/index.php.

4. Click Add.

5. Click OK.

After you have added the RSS Feed to Outlook, a folder is displayed for the RSS Feed in the Navigation Pane. When you open the folder, the latest items downloaded from the SFI blogs are displayed.

Just a reminder that the wait for the new Liquid Nutrition formula is over. Stop by the TripleClicks store and check out the new liquid vitamin, featuring an exclusive, healthful formula you'll find no where else!

Our new berry flavored formula now has Acai Berry Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Omegas 3 & 6, and Calcium! It's also Gluten free.

http://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=5169

From the Veriuni Liquid Nutrition page at TripleClicks.com:

Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition is a one-of-a-kind, all-natural liquid supplement designed to promote robust health. Our exclusive formula packs 13 vitamins, 9 herbs, 18 amino acids, and a variety of nutrients, minerals, and plant extracts for total body wellness in every delicious, mixed-berry-flavored, 1-ounce dose.

Why take a liquid nutrition? One word--ABSORPTION!!! The nutrients in Veriuni's Advanced Liquid Nutrition are up to 98% absorbable. Compare that to the less effective 5-10% absorption rate for capsules or hard-to-swallow compressed "horse pills" with unfavorable vitamin aftertastes. Advanced Liquid Nutrition's unique dietary supplement contains nearly every daily nutrient required for vigorous health in a 1-ounce dose.

You can't get this formula anywhere else online or in stores! Try Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition today and start noticing an improved sense of well-being and increased energy today!

Orders are being taken now, with shipments for the new formula beginning next week. Remember, 1 bottle of the Veriuni Liquid Nutrition is worth 10 SVP and is a great way to maintain your EA status each month.

And for even more healthful benefits, SVP, and possible commissions, check out these other Veriuni Liquid Nutrition product packages at TripleClicks.com:

Book of the Month: "There is More to the Secret: An Examination of Rhonda Byrne's Bestselling Book 'The Secret,'" by Ed Gungor--A core argument of Rhonda Byrne's best-selling book The Secret, the law of attraction says that thoughts are magnetic. Anyone can have whatever they want, be it good health, wealth, or even relationships. They need only train their minds to dwell on what they desire. But is this true? In this companion book to the media storm, author Ed Gungor believes there is more to the story. The list price for this book is $12.99, but IAHBE members get it FREE!

Magazine of the Month: "Shape" magazine is edited to deliver useful techniques and an understanding of fitness. Top experts from diverse fields of exercise, nutrition, psychology and beauty join forces with nationally known journalists to make each issue a how-to manual for a healthful lifestyle. The U.S. price for "Shape" is $59.88 for a one-year subscription (12 issues). An IAHBE membership fee includes a one-year subscription!

So that it's clearer to visitors at TripleClicks what the site is about, we've replaced the "Sell Your Stuff" panel with a new panel (shown above) that covers the three main components of TC.

This panel is also noteworthy because of its text which will be spidered by search engines. By the way, if you haven't done so already, grab 100 Power Rank points by placing a TC banner on your Website or blog. See: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/PRBanner.sfi

The combination of the new panel's "keywords" and a large number of SFI affiliates linking back to TripleClicks via banners can help TC achieve a valuable top tier search engine position. And provided you're an active EyeEarner, you'll receive a share of all the TC customers that find TC via search engines (and the Customer Commissions that come with them as well of course)!

One more note: You'll notice that the last sentence in the new panel talks about some upcoming TC features. Yes, we've got LOTS of things coming to TC that credits can be used for. Stay tuned for updates by setting up an RSS subscription to this SFI news blog.
