It’s funny when I get asked these questions and I chuckle to myself – the first thought that pops in my head is because it is me just being Zaney hehehehe

password2But there is a reason why Zaney Clicks uses mixed character codes.  For all of you that don’t know or don’t like to copy and paste them in for a code – let me tell you the rest of the story and my thinking.

Zaney Clicks is not just a traffic exchange and if you have read other post about the site then you will know that Zaney Clicks is a teaching site.  In my own Zaney way there are things that you are learning and most of the time don’t even realize it but by routinely seeing and doing things YOU LEARN

What are you learning by seeing and using mixed character codes – you are learning that it is easy to use them, you are learning the crazy combos that can be used, you are learning to use some characters on your keyboard that you forget is there.

password3Now why in the world would I want you to learn to see, learn, and use these mixed character codes.  It’s to get comfortable with them enough that you will NOT be so scared to make them up and use them as passwords like I was when I first started.

When I first started online, I wanted something that was easy to remember and so I used something that I was going to remember for me and it was just 7 character word.  Then I learned how easy it was for hackers to crack passwords.

So then I started using letters and numbers and you guess it – there is actually Cracking Password Hacker Tools – I know crazy huh?  So now you know why Zaney Clicks uses mixed character codes.  If you want to read more about this then go read about it here Password Cracking

So the next time that you use one of Zaney Clicks mixed character codes – you know the rest of the story.  Yea I know what is going thru your head how do I keep track of all these mixed character passwords – well I use RoboForm

Saturday Nite at the Movies

saturdayAfter the last post, I decided to start a series about one of my sites as I know you have seen all over Why Zaney Clicks.  One of the features that I have add as a weekly event on the site is Saturday Nite at the Movies.

The reason that these daily event started was that a few years back I realized that doing so many promos with other sites that I just couldn’t keep up with them anymore – another lesson learned – the word NO

That one is a hard one when you have your own business and you like helping others so when another owner approaches you and wants to do a promo you add them on and what happened is that there were so many that Zaney was doing 4 and 5 a day – not healthy for the site and NOT healthy for the owner lolololol

So couple years ago, I thought enough was enough that I just couldn’t keep up with them all anymore and if I couldn’t how could I expect members to – so I canceled them and decided then to start a series of events for the members instead.

saturday3AND Saturday Nite at the movies came about as I love watching movies and people love trivia so putting the two together was a win win and it actually has worked out really great.

This is how it works each week I pick a movie and in the daily mail I add a new clue each day – there are 6 clues so that by Saturday the members can guess the movie by adding the title in  as a promo and earn a bonus.

Now here is the rest of the story on this event, I also remember years ago when I first started online that I was scared to death to get out of my comfort zone on this computer and even Google Search scared the crap out of me until I started using it.

googlesearch2Well this was my Zaney way of getting people to learn to use Google Search and is it working – yes as I hear from members that they are using Google Search more than they ever had and are loving this event.

So now you know the rest of the story on Saturday Nite at the Movies – in future posts I will let you know the rest of the story on the other events at Zaney Clicks.  If you are a new member or have wanted to test out a new traffic exchange – come try out our weekly events and find out that surfing can be fun, entertaining and rewarding.
