Hey Jon,

I love it! Incorporating the Web 2.0 concept into the traffic exchanges is pure genius. Wish I had thought of it being a huge Web 2.0 fan as I am. Hat’s off to you. I believe as well in personal branding and give ILoveHits a community look and feel is really a great addition.

I love it when someone like you who has done more for traffic exchanges then anyone else thinks outside of the box and brings innovations to the industry. It should prove to bring in a wider audience not only to ILH but to the entire traffic exchange Community by making more people more aware of traffic exchanges.

Jon I strongly disagree about branding your self does Coke band them selves they have a reg name and logo that is what should be branded on line not people faces etc.

This is the internet why try and turn it into the offline world where meeting face to face does the deal where online I feel and know this is not needed.

I would not go as far to say people show there faces for there ego but I think branding a good name or logo is the way to go.

Sorry, not ‘TE model’ but the randomness of it, that’s what I mean.

How is StumbleUpon a TE model? I don’t have to view your sites for you to view mine. It’s more like a social voting model.

Hey Jon,

I VERY MUCH believe that web 2.0 is the way to go with TE’s. It really is a system (the sharing thing) that encourages people to view what other people are doing.. but it’s missing the interaction in the current system.

I think what you have done is a good first step – and what traffic era did, was great too. Hock mentioned stickiness, which is SO important with any onine venture – and something that we want to develop in our own te’s – I think your profile pages are just a bit of extra glue Mr O I hope that people will use them and stop their whining!

Keep up the great work!
Cindy

Thanks for picking a “Splash Page Hall of Fame” that wasn’t created by a fancy graphic designer. It’s good to show that you don’t need a lot of money or crazy design skills to create an effective splash page.

Hock – Interesting point. You know, when I heard of StumbleUpon I couldnt help but laugh.

Why? This is essentially a traffic exchange model LOL Random sites…
