Traffic Exchanges: Who has the best Credit Deals?

May 01, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Traffic Exchanges

Typically, credit deals go on for only a short time -however these deals will be going on for some time. Also watch for specials when credit deals will be doubled.

Topping out at #1, and for good reason, is my buddy Jon Olson’s exchange… I Love Hits. He’s know around town as ‘the TE guy’ or maybe even the ‘Pizza Man’. I Love Hits is a great traffic exchange and you can get great results there, especially with these great credit deals…

I Love Hits
April Traffic Showers
|  $0.004/hit
10,000 credits for $37

The Ultimate Ad | $0.006/hit
5,600 credits, 50,000 banner & text ads for $35

Double credits are available during ‘HENry Hour’ - usually this is Friday

Coming in at #2, Hitsafari is a traffic exchange that usually stays in my personal top 5 best converting TE’s. Paula Zuehlke does a great job with this exchange and offers generous surfing bonuses. - You can win 500 credits with 1 click!

Hitsafari
Hitsafari Special Deal | $0.006/hit
5,000 credits for $30

I’ve only found the powersurf a few times here, it might not be advertised!

Coming in at #3 is Paul Kinder’s Traffic Splash. This exchange ALWAYS converts really well for me and stays in my top 3 best performing TE’s.  The surf rewards are great here; surf 100 pages and get 1,000 text or 500 banner ads; surf 250 pages and get 4,000 text or 2,000 banner impressions - all you have to do is send in a support ticket to claim your impressions. Look at the ‘Surf Reward’ tab when you log in for more details.

Traffic Splash
Brand New Special | $0.007/hit
3,000 credits for $19.99
bonus: 7,000 text ads free

So, as you can see, getting targeted traffic to your site is both cheap and easy when you take advantage of these credit deals. At just around 1/2 cent per page view, you pretty much can’t NOT take advantage of these deals.

Remember… to get the best results, advertise a squeeze page/ capture page to add visitors to your list. Throw in an OTO in the signup process and offer something of value - keep you subscribers happy!  Hope this helps.

Additional note: Using text and banner impressions for ‘personal branding’ is a great way to get yourself noticed.

Traffic Exchanges: Do they Work?

May 01, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Traffic Exchanges

Well, I think this topic is up for debate by many people.
For some reason, which I’ve still to discover, believe that
they DON’T work.

I can say, honestly, they work just fine!

Well, that is if you know what you’re doing :)

If you’re busy doing other things, like product creation or
developing or enhancing your website(s)… or going to your
“job” grrrr   You might not have time to surf for credits, so
just buy them.

Traffic Exchange traffic is SO cheap it’s crazy, look for the
credit deals and buy credits so you don’t have to surf!

I personally like to surf, of course not every day, but some
days yes… everyday. I look at it as a way to see what your
ad competitors are doing.

Sadly, most are not getting it right. Either they advertise a
product or service that doesn’t belong in a TE or they promote
generic affiliate pages - just like everyone else. And then they
wonder why they don’t get any results.

Over they last month, I have added over 120 new subscribers
to my list with ONLY traffic exchange advertising!

You might be asking “How did you do that?”

Easily… create a  product or service of your own, something
that TE surfers are interested in or that they need to help
them in some way or another.

Some people might think, ‘well, I’ll just promote my health
product or energy drink - TE surfers need these things’ Wrong!
You might think they do… but they don’t.

People are surfing the TE’s to earn credits to advertise. And
probably they’re …how do you say… ’slot machine marketers’

They try one thing, it doesn’t give them results, so they move
on to something else hoping for better results.

Oh “Golden Nugget Alert”

These people are desperately searching for something… so
give it to them! This is how you make traffic exchanges work
for you. Build your list of people looking for help, provide them
with what they need and you’ll be the hero.

There are so many new people joining the TE’s every day,
people who never heard of traffic exchanges, people who have
unfortunately lost their job in the bad economy or have decided
they will try to make a living in the world of Internet Marketing.

If you appeal to these people, you could likely have a subscriber
for life!

My suggestion is to use Affiliate Funnel and Traffic Hoopla to find
the best performing TE’s, and safelists for that matter. You should
really only be concerned with the top 10 to begin with.

And TRACK you ads -this is so important!!!

You need to know where your efforts should be focused.
If an exchange doesn’t give you results… drop it. It doesn’t matter
if it’s rated #1, if you don’t get the results you want… It’s not #1.

Now, I have to say that Traffic Splash has worked really, really well
for me. Maybe it will work for you, and maybe not. And NO, Paul
didn’t put me up to this, or give me kickback.  lol

But you should atleast try it for yourself, see if you get results too.

The Downsouth Diva

April 21, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Residual Income, Traffic Exchanges

Who is this Southern Gal who writes up a storm?

I guess it started in the Saturday Affiliate Funnel meeting about viral marketing with Soren Jordansen. You might know him better as the owner of the traffic exchange Dragonsurf, or author of Internet Marketing Success Formula and co-author of Ultimate Safelist Survival Guide.

Anyhoo… he knows his sh!t about internet marketing, and the seminar was awesome -like always. Thanks Jon Olson and Paul Kinder :) But I guess this gal got an idea for a new report. She pumped it out over the weekend, and had the LFM site up and running with rebrander and paypal all set up.

Way to Go Girl!  …or is gal in Texas?

So who is this Downsouth Diva? Well none other than Sunny Suggs! (c)

Luv Ya Sunny… Yay!(c)

You might know her better as the owner of the traffic exchange Bootscootin’ Traffic, or author of  the ‘All About Series’ ; She all about the All About stuff. All About Viral Marketing, All About Paypal, All About My Time and a few others.

If you’ve learned anything from this blog post, besides that I write like crap, is that YOU can create your own report in no time at all. If you don’t know how to manage your time to be able to get something like this done, read Sunny’s book All About My Time. Yay! (c)

If you don’t know the steps to take to start a project like this, check out my post of Marlon Sanders’ product creation in 1 week.

If you want to check out Sunny’s new report about Viral Marketing and can get it here: http://allaboutviralmarketing.com or you download it directly from here: http://modern-trends.info/likes/ViralMarketing

Some words of advice… Take it or leave it:

Stop just thinking about it… and just DO IT!

If it doesn’t work, oh well, just try something else.

I want to personally thank Jon Olson, Paul Kinder and Sunny Suggs! Yay!(c)
