One To Click On by Jon

Welcome to the new issue of Hit Exchange News!

I missed last week's issue of Hit Exchange News as I was preparing for a very informative interview / seminar about traffic exchanges that I was asked to host. It was a blast and I hope to have a download link very soon for the entire seminar. I will be sure to let everyone know when it becomes available.

There is HUGE news this week and I'm not sure how much longer this offer will be valid. My little marketing hub, Affiliate Funnel is giving away free one month upgrades to every new member that joins the program. This special has been going on for almost a week and will be pulled very soon. I wanted to make sure all readers of H.E.N. got a chance to take advantage of this offer by joining AF today!

We're running this promotion along with the 'Greedy Giveaway' promotion that has been taking place online during the past week and so far we have added hundreds of new members into the system. Be sure to grab your free Gold account by joining here!

Thank you very much for being a subscriber and enjoy Hit Exchange News!

The News

• Hit Safari moved from a 20 second timer to a 10 second timer this past week. So it begs the question, why are some of the older traffic exchanges still holding onto the idea that you need a 30 second timer to get 'good traffic'. If people are using these programs properly they should be promoting a squeeze or splash page which loads in half a second. No need for long timers anymore in my opinion.
• Smiley Traffic hit 25,000 members recently. A congratulations must go out to Vern and his membership. I'm not going to comment on anything you have written about me or my businesses in your newsletter, I know that just feeds your fire lol. Congrats though, 25k is a very big number!
• I get a kick out of this industry. It seems every few months some new 'fad' with claims of get rich overnight seems to pop up. The randomizers, the doublers, the triplers, the money games, Agloco, the auto investment surfs...Here you go folks, if it sounds too good to be true, it is!
• I wanted to send some thoughts and prayers to everyone in Southern California this week, especially two for the best traffic exchanges owners on the net William Brant and Ryan Hogan. We're all hoping that fires steer clear from your homes guys!
• This Week's Splash Page Hall of Fame Entry is this page! While it's still a big long and doesn't fit into the fold, it's simple! And simple works in the traffic exchanges very well.

  
  
  

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!

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

I Love Hits....Web 2.0....Huh?

I've got two brand new mods added to I Love Hits today and will soon be added to my other traffic exchange as well. The first script mod is that a 'Tell A Friend' script has been added to the members area as well as the surf bar of the traffic exchange. Here’s the cool part.

In the member's area, a simple tell a friend script can let your friends know about I Love Hits and help build your down line in the system. But the fun part is the Tell A Friend script that’s embedded into the surf bar. Let people know about sites you see and like while surfing AND build your ILH down line all at once. It's a fun little tool to help spread the word about the system and the sites in rotation.

Here's my little gem though, it's our brand new 'ranking system' and 'Top 10 ILH Sites'. Essentially it works like this. See a page you like while surfing, rate it! Let the owner of the page know if you like or do not like the site. After that, the rank of that site is stored and the Top 10 sites that are ranked the highest in ILH each week will be shown to the entire membership via the weekly update.

This is a great way to get your site some extra promotion and will allow the people who really do great site design to get the recognition they deserve. I really hope you enjoy these new additions to the ILH system and have a blast using the system!

Program Review - Instant Buzz

The big boy of the traffic exchanges! The biggest name in internet marketing's 'top of the funnel' and quite possibly one of the biggest membership sites on the internet. Yes, Instant Buzz can be considered a traffic exchange and while it's not in the traditional format of other exchanges, you cannot deny it's importance to this industry.

Does it work? Absolutely and it's a great testing ground for all your 'shock and awe' headlines that really grab people's attention. The idea behind IB is to earn traffic while you are doing something else, so click through rates tend to be lower than other text ad based exchanges.

Regardless, this is a must join for anyone looking for free traffic and a great program to use along with all your traffic exchange advertising.

Overall Rating: 4.5 Mouse Clicks (Rating out of 5.0)
