You Can Join TagVillage By Invitation Only - JOIN NOW!!

Think of Facebook, Kooday and Google all rolled into ONE!!.

Why do you have to leave FB to find things on the web? We will stay in FB and access other Websites. This is a social platform and Search Engine all in one.

We will have not just ability to offer ads to searches but to social traffic as well. SE doesn’t captivate you. You search and leave. Social media does. Average person spends hours on SM sites. Doing all sorts of things.

Every time they refresh a page there is opportunity for advertisers.

Greatest part of TagVillage.

Our vision and goal is to create a website that does 2 major things;

1. Income opportunity that is 2nd to none. Can potentially earn huge $$$.. Bless our members with revenue. Bless when they use and when they buy keywords.

2. Charities. We want to generate millions of $$ that are donated to charities. 10% of gross sales go to charities on a weekly basis. Minimum 10%. You tell us where to donate that money.

What is Tagvillage.

It will integrate with major Social Networks. Primarily FB. It has all the FB, Google, and Bing have. Plus a profit mechanism.

Search – similar to other SEs.

Can give sites reviews or thumbs up. Directory already built – will be live the day we go live.

Social -you get points for everything you do.

Each week we take a portion of our profits and put them in 3 pools. They will be paid out to members. Distribute points to causes. Match your points and donate them to the cause of your choice. We want to generate millions of dollars and donate them. You will be proud to be a member of TagVillage.

Modes: When you add a friend you can add them to a mode. Friends, Family, Business. Assign people to multiple modes. Only see Posts from people in the mode you are currently viewing in. Segregate Friends and Family from Business.

Tag Trading – like keywords.

All your referrals and referers can be added as friends. Give you 10 related words – 5 owned and 5 unowned.

What’s going on – timeline Launchpad – open today 12/6/2010 – up to ONLY 5000 members – you earn commissions off your downline. Build a team and have them fund their accounts now. Get in now and be ahead of the titlewave. Everyone who registers and funds their account now gets their own homepage. Register and fund – you get 2 advantages.

1 Your home page.
2 Marketing package 24-48 hours before launch – blog, email, news articles, - database of prebuilt images. Only goes to pre-launch members.

Softlaunch – December 15. Activate a few assets on site. Refer, fund, tag trading with your funds, search engine live. It will be functioning from this day on.

Beta 1 – January 1 – few small things will be missing – major social aspect still not there. Only some FB integration.

Feb 1 – all social media functions will be working. Roll out cause platform. Point platform launch. Meantime there will be bonuses and profit sharing but not the full one.

March 1 – launch the advertiser platform. No advertisers until March. When Advertisers come in, they will see traffic and a fully functional site. Biggest boom of revenue coming at this time.

What is our edge?

It will be released as a FB API. It can be embedded in your FB account. FB has a viral marketing mechanism built in – the Newsfeed. Your FB Newsfeed will say xxx sold Tagword for $$$. Over 500,000,000 users on FB. Our ability to reach the market will be huge – on Jan 1.

What does it cost?

Nothing – it’s free forever. It’s social media. You make money and generate donations to charities. Participation in tag trading is what costs and what generates big money for you.

TAG TRADING COMMISSION PLAN

In short, the purpose of this pre-launch is to introduce people to the coneept, connect with a webinar (several scheduled for the next few days) build some teams, get some cash flow started, then hit the ground running on the “Soft launch” of Dec 15.

The concept is very familiar with tag trading (buying and selling of keywords). This will eventually connect tag owners with advertisers. The true power of this project is going to come from integration with Facebook, and the concept of of “My Cause”. In short, you select a “cause” that you want to donate money to. This can be any national organization such as Red Cross, Make A Wish, etc, or even something a bit closer to home – your Church, your kids little league or Scout troop, or your Kiwanis club. Anything you can think of that is your “cause”. Regular social actions (pictures, comments, thumbs up, links, etc) will generate revenue for your cause. All your social actions will give your cause money.

Because this is tied to Facebook, and the power of Tag trading, this looks to be a huge success. Early team building going on now. There are discounts and bonuses for funding the account now. Commission fees are waived, AlertPay and Paypal options available. And bonus as follows:

TAGVILLAGE CREDITS DISCOUNT SCHEDULE (pre-launch only)
$25 to $49.99 – receive an additional 5% in Credits
$50 to $99.99 – receive an additional 10% in Credits
$100 to $149.99 – receive an additional 15% in Credits
$150 to $199.99 – receive an additional 20% in Credits
$200 to $250.00 – receive an additional 25% in Credits

These credits will show up the day of the “soft launch” (Dec 15) so tag trading can begin in earnest.

Many things are unique to those familiar with some of the “troubles” we have come to love with Kooday and Kulesearch. One of the innovative features is tag “suggestions” when you purchase a word. This combines several randomly owned words and several un-owned words similar to the word you just purchased. This helps ensure new members words keep moving, and helps build vast word empires.

The search feature of the site is already indexing and will be available on or shortly after the soft-launch day of Dec 15 – so no waiting for the engine to index like we all enjoyed so much with Kooday.

Software integrations with Facebook have already been accomplished, it is just a matter of turning it on ont eh Beta launch at Jan 1, to let this thing go viral.

With national organizations seeing mass influxes of donations coming from this program, plus the 550+million user base of FB for Tag trading, this is a HUGE opportunity to see some real money.

Tag Village - The Best Of Both Worlds

Once in a great while something will come along and you will know when it is "just right" and you should just "GO FOR IT"

Everyone knows the power of Facebook and Kooday is proving to be a money-maker for those who saw the future and got on board. Tag Village is going to be the same way. Tag Village integrates the social platform of Facebook and the exciting buying and selling of keywords like Kooday.

This amazing new platform will allow you to connect with friends, relatives, and business associates that also networks with other major social media.

A Learning Experience

Tag Village will allow you to earn money just by using the site. I'm sure you have heard of PPC (pay per click) with Google and know that it can get really expensive, especially if you don't know what you are doing. Those clicks can EATthrough your advertising budget so fast it will make your head spin.

In Tag Village, much like Kooday, you can share in the earnings as the big money advertisers target keywords and phrases that YOU OWN.

As an added bonus, tell Tag Village what your favorite charity or cause is and donations will be distributed to those charities or causes in your name.

What Is Tag Village?

A summary of webinar notes from Ralph Lyon:

Tag Village will be a Facebook Integrated Application which is currently in the pre-Launch mode. The purpose of pre-launch is to build teams, get cash flow started and then hit the ground running on December 15, 2010.

INVESTMENT

You will need to invest at least $25 in the pre-launch mode in order to participate in purchasing keywords. As a bonus you will get some extra credits to compensate for the transaction fees.

Members joining after the pre-launch will not have this advantage.

PRE-LAUNCH MEMBERS

...will get their own homepage and are able to form teams to earn money quicker. They will also get a marketing package 24 to 48 hours prior to launch.

Pre-Launch is only open for 5000 people.

CHARITIES

The concept of Tag Village is familiar with tag trading (buying and selling of keywords). Eventually tag owners will connect with advertisers. The true power is going to come from integration with Facebook and the launch of "My Cause".

In short, you select a "charity or a cause" that you want to donate money to, such as Red Cross, Make A Wish Foundation, etc, or even something a bit closer to home - your Church, your kids little league or Scout troop, or your Kiwanis club.

All of your social actions will give your cause money.

Keyword Buying and Selling

Credits will show up the day of the "soft launch"(Dec 15, 2010) so tag trading can begin for real.

Many things are unique to Tag Village. One of the features is keyword "suggestions" when you purchase a word. This combines several randomly owned words and several words never owned before that are similar to the word you just purchased. This helps words to keep moving and helps build your word empire.

SEARCH ENGINE

The search feature of the site is already indexing and will be available on or shortly after the soft-launch day of Dec 15, 2010 - so no waiting for the engine to index.

Social Media and Networking

Software integrations with Facebook have already been accomplished, it is just a matter of turning it on Beta launch at Jan 1, 2011 to let this thing go viral.

When you add a friend you can add them to a mode: Friends, Family or Business. You can also assign people to multiple modes. You can decide to only see message of people in the mode you're currently viewing in.

TIME LINE

Soft launch - December 15, 2010 - Search engine will be live. People can be referred, tag trading with your funds, search engine is live.

Beta 1 - January 1, 2011 - Only some Facebook integration. Major social aspect still not there.

Feb 1, 2011 - All social media functions enabled. Meantime there will be bonuses and profit sharing but not the full one

March 1, 2011 - Live launch of advertiser platform. No advertisers until March 2011. When Advertisers come in, they will see traffic and a fully functional site. Biggest boom of revenue coming at this time.

Soft Launch is Here!
Saturday, January 8, 2011
OK. We know. THIS is the moment you have all been waiting for. We are happy to announce that at precisely:
12:00 PM USA Central Time on January 15, 2011, the soft launch of tagvillage will commence.
Several critical decisions have been made over the past few weeks. These decisions involved software priorities, development resources, membership experience, purpose of the site, company mission, and the input (majority vote) of the members with regard to the survey on the site. We have put a lot of time and energy into the future plans for tagvillage and have determined the following governing system for soft-launch through Beta:

Site will grow toward completion in stages

Membership earnings are first priority

Membership growth is second priority

Social network and enhanced membership experience is third priority

Search engine implementation is fourth priority

Cause platform is fifth priority

Tagvertiser platform is sixth priority

Please note, the order of priorities does not mean one item is more important than another, it simply means each item is required to be developed and implemented before the next item can be fully developed. So, to accomplish the task of getting us from Pre-Launch Registration to Soft Launch to Beta Stage to fully functional Live site, we will implement the following in this order:

Registration System (functional now)

Manual Funding System (functional now)

Referral System (functional now)

Weekly Profit Sharing (partial functional now)

Tag Trading (January 15, 2011)

Limited Transaction Reporting (January 15, 2011)

Automated Funding System (by January 20, 2011)

Facebook Integration (mid to late February)

Extended Transaction Reporting (mid to late February)

In-House Social Platform (early March)

Search Engine Integration (mid to late March)

Cause Platform (mid to late April)

Tagvertiser Platform (mid to late May)

Additional Social Integration with MySpace and other sites (mid to late June)

Upon completion of these stages, the site will be considered completely live and functional. At this point we will continue to enhance the member experience, add features, add social site integrations, and generally improve the site.
So what can I expect on January 15th?
First, you will notice a new design and layout for the site. This will not be the final version, but will be moving toward the final version. Then you will notice Tag Trading is live. You will be able to fund your account (manually until January 20th) and buy/sell Tags. You will also notice a new Activity Point system that is tracking activity. The site will keep much of the Pre-Launch features. We will keep the VillageTalk forum in place and the News Room.
The results of the survey overwhelmingly showed us that our members DID NOT want us to close registration or funding during the Soft Launch. So, you will still be able to refer members and fund your accounts during Soft Launch and through the Beta stages.
We hope you are ready to trade Tags! Get your lists ready. The platform will be here at noon (US Central Time) on Saturday.

Platform Migration and Apology for Delays

Wednesday, January 5, 2011
We migrated the entire pre-launch platform from an “alpha” stage server to a more robust server last night. Several key team members pulled an “all nighter” to make the migration seamless and glitch-free. We did have to take the site down for 30 minutes at 6:00 AM CST this morning to complete the migration. So, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience.
It is our mission to manage this site with as close to Zero down-time and as few lags and drains on the system as possible. We have world-class developers and sys-admins here which should be evident by the fact that tagvillage completely moved from one physical location (and root IP address) to another without anyone even noticing (or commenting). That even impressed our team!
The site is now on a “beta” phase server so we can watch the stress-levels and monitor the software. This is one step closer to the launch and will help us a HUGE bit when we get ready to migrate to the “Live” stage server clouds.
We apologize for the delay in activating memberships and processing payments. Due to the migration, there were some critical processes that had to be handled before we could resume normal operations. If anyone experienced unbearable wait time, please accept our sincere apology. We are striving to offer the best customer support ever before from a company of this nature.
We do want to congratulate the team! They successfully pulled off a “test phase” migration without any hiccups. The software, files, and IP routing transferred seamlessly and we didn’t even lose 1 bit (literally) of data. This is extremely impressive and telling of the talent here. Our experience tells us that many sites are down for hours when they perform a migration as massive as the one our guys pulled off last night without anyone noticing.
This successful excersise tells us 2 very important things. Our team has planned the migration of the site, files, database, and IP routing perfectly and is prepared to perform the Launch Migration when the time is right. Also, our guys look pretty funny and have really bad breath after 24-30 hours of non-stop sys-admin tasks and gallons of coffee!
Here’s to an incredibly successful project last night that nobody even noticed. And THAT is a GREAT THING!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #1

Thursday, December 30, 2010
We are getting very close to the soft launch. It will begin sometime in the first part of January. One of the steps to the soft launch will be to migrate the members of the pre-launch to the official site and official database. This will be quite a task on our end. And, it includes the implementation of some very powerful anti-fraud and anti-scam tools.
If you are currently a member, it is IMPERATIVE that you make sure your Name, Email Address, and Country is accurate in our system. Please login and make sure this information is correct. We are shortly to begin a migration process that REQUIRES this information be correct. If this information is not correct, your account WILL NOT TRANSFER.
If you have referrals, please get this information out to them. Their accounts WILL NOT TRANSFER either if their Name, Email Address, and Country are not accurate in our system.

…

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #2

Friday, December 31, 2010
We got the official report from the software development team this morning. They are getting close, but not close enough to launch tomorrow. We were pretty much expecting that. The accounting software has been completely rewritten. Now they are tying it together with the Tag Trading platform. They said we need to expect 3-5 days to complete that process. Then, they asked for a few days of testing and implementation of code on the live servers. In addition to that, we need to migrate the pre-launch membership to the live launch platform. That will take time too.
So, the best estimate is that we will launch the site between 5 and 15 days from today. There is really no way to know the exact time because there are so many variables. However, they are very confident that the bugs are fixed, the accounting software is working correctly, and the Tag Trading is functioning. It is just a matter of tying it all together now and bringing it live on the servers.

…

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #3

Friday, December 31, 2010
We understand the inconvenience the programming issues have caused for many of our members. We know you are ready to start Tag Trading. We too are waiting in energized anticipation for the launch. However, we must trust our world-class programmers and their experience. They say it needs a few more days to be perfect, and perfect is necessary when interacting with Facebook and other platforms. So, we will give them the time they need.
So what does this mean for all of you who have already funded? Good question. And we think you are going to like the answer!
Until we get the site launched, you are going to be making money! Here is the plan for the next several days:

We will continue to pay 5 Credits per funded referral. These Credits will be deposited into your account every Monday.
We will continue to give 1 Profit Share Point per referral (even if they do not fund) and pay Profit Share Credits for these points every Monday.
EARLY BIRD BONUS: every member who funded their account before the 15th of December is going to get a nice Early Bird Bonus on New Years Day. These were the original members and they deserve something nice for waiting on us so long.
PRE-LAUNCH LOYALTY BONUS: since we know you are waiting on us, and to put some fire under our behinds to get the site launched, we are going to give every funded member a daily Loyalty Bonus. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT! Every single day, until we get the site launched, we will give every funded member a bonus. These Credits will be deposited into your account every Monday.

So, keep referring people to the site. You can earn a lot of extra Credits that way. And remember, if you are truly upset about the site not being ready yet, you can always request a 100% no-questions-asked refund at anytime. However, you must understand that requesting a refund means you will forfeit any bonus and referral Credits you have earned.

…

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #4

Friday, December 31, 2010
Matching Credits Bonus ends tonight at midnight. Please let your referrals, and those who are “on the fence” know they must purchase Credits by tonight at midnight if they wish to receive Matching Credits from tagvillage. As of January 1, 2010 there will be a 10% fee charged for Credit purchases. However, your referrals will still be able to activate their accounts for as little as $5.
