The Pulse of the Hit Exchange Industry!
April 27th, 2006

One To Click On by Jon

Welcome to the new issue of Hit Exchange News!

Where's the creativity? Has anyone else noticed what programs seem to do very well in this business? It's usually the unique scripts, or the professional designed sites, and the unique concepts...However, people still seem to copy ideas and never add their own touch to their business.

I'm not really trying to start this week's HEN off on a sour note, just want to stress the importance for us to embrace the creators and innovators in this business. If you see something that is unique, tell the owner you think it's a great idea. If you join a new program that has a great design, support the business!

This industry thrives when creative ideas get put into motion (case in point, the Focus 4 seminar in about 2 weeks). Need to get some creative ideas? Why not attend a live event? Why not come in to Net Marketing Forum and take part in discussions? Try going to a weekly TE information seminar. Build your network and exchange ideas!

Sure you can make money just doing what everyone else does, but why not leave your mark as a leader and an innovator!

Thanks for reading this week's issue of Hit Exchange News!

The News

  • Want $100? Traffic At The Races is having a month long referral contest and the lucky winner will get $100. This is not the first time a TE has given away this much cash in a contest, but all indications is that these type of promotions are very good signs that a TE is growing at a steady rate.
  • Blog Explosion has got a brand new owner, but it will be a familiar name. Steve Sartain, the owner of ClicksMatrix and CashClicking, as well as some private investors have taken ownership of this very popular traffic exchange. What's next for Thomas and Jeff? Hopefully that 'new T.E.' that was mentioned almost a year ago.
  • It's great to see new features come out on traffic exchanges! ClickinPeople has been releasing new features, almost on a weekly basis. This week's new feature is a brand new 'lottery script' which should increase user activity and add something new for members!
  • This Week's Splash Page Hall of Fame Entry are this page from a brand new site called Free Ad Blog. Simple, to the point and a clean look. Exactly what a splash page should be.


The HEN Top Ten results are based on traffic statistics (unique hits, traffic flow, hits delivered, traffic quality) and a touch of good old fashioned 'opinion'. The industry changes just like in the real world, so an exchange may not be on the list this week, but will be number 1 next week! Discuss this week's Top 10 list in the Net Marketing Forum!

Enjoy this week's list!

  1. TS 25
  2. Traffic Soldiers
  3. Max Traffic Pro
  4. WebmasterQuest
  5. StartXChange
  6. Traffic Roundup
  7. Hit Safari
  8. Mystical Maze
  9. Advertising Know How
  10. Traffic Swarm

Hey Jon, how come I Love Hits, Click Crazey and SWAT Traffic are never on the top 10 list? Since I own them, I feel it would be a conflict of interest to place it on any of my rankings. If you want to see how well they are performing each week, please check TestHoopla top 20 weekly ranking!

Deep Thoughts - Feature Articles

Deep Thoughts by Jon Olson

It's about 2 weeks away...

Arguably the most important weekend in the history of the traffic exchanges. Why is it so important? Well for the first time in history, traffic exchange owners from across the globe will be meeting in Dallas Texas for the Focus 4 The Future seminar.

I am very excited about this weekend. I mean, I have met some great people in this business from both of the live events I attended last year and earlier this year but this one has that special feeling to it. I really feel like the traffic exchange owners that will be attending this event have a like minded way of doing business. Finally, we will be able to all sit down, discuss and develop strategies on how to improve this industry.

It's funny, Rich Taylor (of Focus 4) and I 'dreamed' about this about 4 years ago in an MPAM seminar and to see this taking place is a wonderful thing. Way to go Rich (and Robert) you guys deserve all the credit in the world for getting these seminars off the ground. This will be a great event!

So for everyone that will be in Dallas, I look forward to meeting you. If you can, try to come because this will be an event for the ages! And if not, remember Seattle's seminar is only a few short months away as well.

Good things are happening in this business, jump on board and enjoy the ride!

Tony's Thoughts

Try a Pro Traffic Exchange?

As many of you know, I have not been a big fan of Pro Traffic Exchanges. Well, even an old guy can change his mind once in awhile.

I am going to give them another shot for the next 4-6 months and see what happens. The pro traffic exchanges will make a come back at my traffic exchange site in a category by themselves.

Yes, I know that traffic does not normally flow as fast as some of the more popular free traffic exchanges. But, it does flow. They do offer another stream of commissions and it all adds up. In my opinion there is room at the big table of traffic exchanges for pro traffic exchanges.

Appearing soon by way of your favorite traffic exchange, my list of pro traffic exchanges. You'll know its my site by that friendly guy smiling at you on the page....stop and take a look. I'll give them another test and let you know of the outcome.

Cheers!

Program Review - Lovell Technology

Mr. Pat Lovell has got to be one of the busiest people in this industry and for good reason. Lovell Technology offers both hosting and design, but I wanted to focus on the design side of things in this review.

A shameless plug, because they did the new design for ILoveHits and countless other traffic exchanges. Great design work is so important and a professional look can make or break a business.

Not only does this company do great web site design, but you can get banners and splash pages created as well, which are a must for your efforts in the TE's. A highly recommended design service!

Things That Make You Go...Hmmm? (A 'Different' Look at the Industry!)

  • A year later...TV Co-Op still owes me forty bucks! Hmmm....
  • For the hockey fans...Go Oilers! Hmmm....
