The primary task of any HYIP monitoring website is based upon the reflection of the investment projects’ functioning as well as determining their statuses and levels of sustainability. In this article we aim to describe some of the best monitoring websites, currently available on the Internet.

HYIP-Navigator.com is by far the most comprehensive web-resource in the HYIP industry. Created by an international team of online investing specialists, it has quickly gained extreme popularity both among program admins and investors. The concept of its monitoring consists of a few listings. The Premium List contains the most popular programs on the web at the moment. The rating’s Best List includes programs with a maximal payout rate. Those programs placed on the Best Rated List are the ones which have collected the biggest number of positive votes from the website’s visitors (a vote can be placed by clicking on the “Rate Now” button, choosing “Paid” or “Not Paid”, and adding comments on a particular program). HYIP-Navigator.com also has a Free List, where anyone can add a link to his website free of charge.

The green stars on the right-hand side of a program’s listing stand for “Navigator’s Independent Rating”. This rating depends on the quality of a program and is a reflection of the team’s opinion on it. The more successful a program turns out to be in the future, the more stars are granted to its rating.

Every rating indicates the date a program was added to the monitor, its current status, minimal deposit, and interest rates. In addition, the website is offering a “Program Review” feature, with a professional review accompanying a program’s position on the list.

On the left-hand side of the website you will find sections for every category of visitors. The section “For Investors” consists of interesting interviews with experienced investors and program owners, reviews of investment programs, a WHOIS checkup, an article on E-gold security, a scam report feature, and a black list of programs, which do not pay. HYIP-navigator.com also publishes its own E-Magazine on a monthly basis with recent news and other useful information – a link to its previous issues can be found in that section as well. The project’s team has established friendly relations with the HYIPDiscussion.com forum whose address can be found in the above-mentioned section. In addition, HYIP-Navigator.com has its own subsection on the TalkGold forum. The last section “For Partners” offers logo exchange with other HYIP rating websites with a purpose of attracting new visitors.

Another major monitoring web-resource, HYIPInvestment, has formed an extensive network of web-resources, related to the area of high-yield investing. HYIPInvestment.com is the main website of this network, serving over 100,000 unique visitors monthly. Program rankings contain the period, for which a particular program is listed, its current status, the minimum amount of investment, comments (if needed), payout rates, the amount invested by the website’s administration, and the date the program was added to the list.

Members’ ratings offer the following options: “Paying”, “Not paying”, “Concern”, and “Statement”. All ratings are edited manually on a daily basis to prevent cases of spam and abusive posts.

The website also contains an extensive database of HYIP articles, altogether with an introductory part on high-yield investing as well as on E-gold use and security recommendations.

A separate section of the website is dedicated to general investment advice. It also includes HYIP Calculators, HYIP Scam List (to prevent investors from losing their money in not paying programs), and archives of the HI Newsletter.

The HI Network contains its own forum at HYIPDiscussion.com , where investors can discuss various aspects of high-yield online investing, altogether with recent major scams and most popular programs, for which special subsections have been opened. The forum is moderated by an international team of experienced online investors who will be more than happy to provide newbies with a valuable piece of advice and assistance on any HYIP-related matter.

Speaking of the other websites of the HI Network, HYIPList.com is worth mentioning in the first place. It is a completely automated monitoring, where the rank of a program depends on the number of votes for it. HYIPServices.com contains information on the staff members, altogether with a description of the technical and consulting services the Network is offering. Finally, HYIPAdvertising.com includes price-lists on the most effective advertising services in the HYIP industry, provided by the Network.

HYIPMonitor.com is one of the oldest and the most reputable model of a full automated monitoring website. It contains an informative section of latest news, additions, payouts, and feedback, altogether with brief description of programs and various payment systems.

RankHYIPs.com and Gold-Hosting.com have a somewhat similar concept to the one of HYIPMonitor.com. Bother Bryan, the owner and administrator of TalkGold forum, has created both of these websites. He is known as an experienced online investor who has developed an outstanding model of automated monitoring, accompanied by an excellent design and data protection.

Another interesting monitoring is GoldPoll.com. It contains great number of programs, forum GoldenTalk and good links Directory.

Great number of fresh HYIP News can be found on Invest Navigator (HYIPNews.com). It also includes monitoring, rating, forum and Reading Resources.

One monitoring to be avoided by all means is MinistryOfGold.com. It contains a bunch of fake ratings, with all of its programs sooner or later turning to be mere scams. In addition, the admin has set up a ridiculous forum, run in a hostile manner with heavily biased censorship. It is considered to be a sign of bad tone to have one’s program listed on that website.

In conclusion, we would like to point out one common misconception among high-yield investors: some of them view old programs as the safest and the most reliable ones. We would like to emphasize that quite often investing in new programs can be even more profitable than relying on the old ones only. As a result, we view wide diversification as a key to success on the HYIP arena, where monitoring websites are of a great help in terms of choosing the right programs for investing.
