My Favorite Blank

“Unbelievable the underhanded tactics and outright lies _______   ________ stoops to.
Dragon Surf gets a 10 from me every week !
Why? It always has and continues to give me results”

Patg (1945 – 2009)

I heard some sad news today that occured last week. One of the big time online internet marketers of our time is no longer with us. It appears from what I have been able to learn is that Patg (screen name) was taken to the hospital Wednesday (Dec.2) and would later pass away the next day on Thursday (Dec. 3rd). I wasn’t sure if she had been sick or what, since I really didn’t know her. I have learned now that her passing was an unexpected death and that does make the loss that much greater.

I did have one message from Patg and one small story I can share about her. I’m a member over at Max Traffic Pro and one day I got an email from them stating we could surf for referrals that day. I thought I could use some extra people in my downline, so I took off to do some surfing at the Max Traffic TE. I was able to win 1 of those referrals from Max Traffic Pro on that special promotion day. I’m sure you could probably guess who that referral would turn out to be? Yes, it was a member by the screen name Patg. I noticed that Patg was an upgraded referral, so that made me happy to know that I had won a referral that was a paid member. After getting in my downline, Patg did send me a message. She knew what was up and how she had arrived in my downline that day. She sent me a message and said something along the lines of “I guess you won me“. I’m not sure if I replied back to her or not. I went to Max Traffic Pro to see if my inbox or outbox still had the messages, but it was gone. She was right though, I did win her. She continued to be an upgraded member in my downline there and to this day, she has been the only upgraded member I have ever received there.  

I did have Patg as a contact at another traffic exchange called Trafficera. I have a team there called Google Ranked Us and Patg was a team leader of the Dragon Surf 2 team. Both of our teams are still very active and both are in the top 10 standings at Trafficera. I would like to say that the Google Surfing Team at Trafficera does send out our thoughts and prayers to the Dragon Surf 2 team. I’m sure you guys are missing Pat a lot right now and don’t expect to find a team leader like Pat anytime soon. They just don’t make them like her very much and I can only imagine the void that is in your team chat and not to see Patg finding a clock in chat anymore has to be really difficult.

It’s not only the Google Ranked Us surfing team that remembers Patg, but the Google search engine still remembers her well too. I decided to do a few searches at Google and for the term “Patg Pat Grilliot” I found a lot of traces of Pat still around. That’s the beauty of online marketing, some of the things we do today, we will never know what benefits we will get from them tomorrow. That’s why it’s always important to do as much as you can daily to succeed online, because you never know when your health may fail and your not able to have that energy anymore. Obviously in Pat’s case, her health failed in the worse way imaginable. I was able to track down things from 2006 where Pat was leaving her footprints on the Internet. I saw so many positive things from her and the amount of territory this woman covered is amazing. I’m not sure when Pat got the fever of online marketing pumping through her veins, but from 2006 all the way up to her untimely passing, she was as active as any one person could ever hope to be online.

An Example of Patg’s Activity Level

Trafficera opened up for business on January 20th, 2008. This is also the date Patg joined Trafficera. Did you join Trafficera the first day or in the beginning? If you didn’t, then try to find some of those top members that joined on January 20th in 2008 and see what their surfing PV was. Patg had a Lifetime Surfing PV of  2,857,406! You will have a hard time finding someone that surfed that much at Trafficera. Patg’s final numbers at Trafficera:

Those numbers are amazing! I can only imagine how often Patg’s name came up in team chat showing that she had found another clock. Since Pat had so many things going on online, her referring number is still moving at Trafficera. It is currently showing a 4 for her and this is a week after she has left us.

“I am a full time internet marketer,
spending so many hours online that even my dog
complains that he needs more attention!” ……Patg

I didn’t know Pat that well and I do reget it. After seeing all the things she was doing online, I would have loved to work with her and I think we would have got along great. Some of those footprints are still evident on message boards and here are a few links that I was able to dig up in a short amount of time. Most of her messages are in response to a question or where she thought she could have helped someone. I’m sure her legacy and beliefs will still live on, since so many different people had a chance to cross her path.

Another link I will pass along is the one the Dragon Surf 2 team is showing at Trafficera. They have a page that directs you to the Patg Obituary Page and you can click that link for more details. It’s hard to calculate how many people Pat came across in her online marketing efforts, but if you have been doing this gig for a couple of years; then I bet you have seen the name, picture, or seen one of her pages. If you are an interested in online marketing, then be sure you stay as active as Pat was and do all you can each day to leave your footprints behind, so others can learn from you. Pat may have not taught me anything while she was here, but after a little research online, she has taught me something tonight. I may be her last student or there could be a hundred after me. Regardless of where that next piece of knowledge comes from, you can bet they had some sort of contact to Patg.

Hey Pat? Your work is over now. It’s time we got a little elbow room now and although we may never fill the void you left, we will sure have a lot more room to market without ya here. Miss ya bunches and in loving memory from me (dishtv21), the Google Ranked Us Team, and everyone else that wishes you was still with us. I will close with your closing words and the one you have on your Patg Recommends Website:

To your success and prosperity,

Pat Grilliot
