Issue 253 – No More Excuses, You Are In The Perfect Position…
Congratulations to my friend, my business partner and one of, if not the best, traffic exchange owner in history. Paul Kinder and his entire team at Traffic Splash celebrated a huge milestone this past week with the announcement that they had reached the 50,000 member plateau.
There is only a handful of traffic exchanges online that can claim 50,000 members and while this is a remarkable feat, the biggest jaw dropper is how Paul, Tim and the T.S. team took a dying traffic exchange, flipped it, put a ‘Dolphin’ theme to it and transformed it into a powerhouse in about two years.
Think about that for a minute if you will. 50,000 members in about 2 years. Remarkable and I think I speak for everyone who has ever surfed a single page in Traffic Splash, congratulations and a job well done.
Here is a perfect example of someone coming online, being a sponge for the first little bit, learning the in’s and out’s, aligning himself with the right people and then creating his own brand. Above all that, Paul prides himself of customer service and goes above and beyond when it comes to customer support…This has translated into loyal customers, incredible reputation and a very successful money making empire. Way to go man, it’s been a joy to watch!
Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a wonderful week!

The News
- According to some surfers, Clicks Matrix is telling their members that eMazing Hits is a scam in their opinion. In my years of working online in the traffic exchanges, I have never seen owners tell their members directly that a legit traffic exchange is a scam. Very scary that people would do this, but alas, the cream with rise. It always does!
- *Golden Nugget* Did some searching the other day and did you know that Traffic G is the number one site that shows up in Google if you type in ‘free website traffic’. If I was an advertising guy who spent time in the traffic exchanges, I would sure like to get my site in rotation there. It would be a pretty good bet that this program generates a LOT of new surfers looking for ways to make money online and generate free traffic…. */Golden Nugget*

Question: Hey Jon, how come I Love Hits, SWAT Traffic and Click Crazey 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. (But we all know how great they are anyways lol)

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Rambling
I Want To Make Money Online….How Do I Do It?
In these uncertain times, a roller coaster economy and the ever changing world of technology, internet business is in a very unique position. You see, when times are great, people look to make extra money online. When times are bad, people look to the internet for potential revenue. There is a mass migration to the internet right now, as more and more news outlets spread the word about how millions of people make money from home.
Lots of people come online, very few get the right advice sadly. Does this sound familiar?
“Join XYZ Program, grab your affiliate link, find ways to drive traffic to that affiliate link.”
Not the most in depth training, but sadly this is not a rare thing online. The number one problem that I think people are not being trained to do, is to build their mailing list from the get go. Sure they hear the popular saying that ‘the money is in the list’ but after that, nada. I also noticed that people get scared of deciding what to write about and what to send their contacts as far as content goes. This is a daunting task and has been for years, because most of us are not Pulitzer prize authors, however it’s always force fed to us….You need to write about something.
So along comes a program called Daily Niche Idea, and some of you may have heard about it already. I started to call this thing the ‘No Excuse’ tool because this was the great equalizer. Each and every week, Daily Niche Idea gave you the content, they gave you what to write about and best of all is free to join.
Content and knowing what to write about is a tricky thing. You need to have passion for it, find a topic that holds true to your heart and constantly provide solid content for your subscribers. Daily Niche Idea does this for you. Sure it’s only one step, but it’s quickly becoming a must have tool for internet marketers. Turn the excuse into action and get ready to embrace the massive influx of new people, coming online everyday!

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
- Anyone know what’s going on with the owner of Traffic Planets or the program itself?
- Rockstar Platinum event is happening next week, there will be no issue of Hit Exchange News next week, but I’ll be back the following week.
- Speaking of which, any H.E.N. reader that shows up to the event next week, gets a free dinner courtesy of yours truly. And no, that does not mean a Big Mac and fries…

Good Post. Paul at Traffic Splash has proven that good customer service (what you don’t find a lot of online) still works.
You need to be different to stand out from the crowd and customer service is one of the ways that has little competition.
50,000 sign ups in two years is quite a feat.
Thanks

Hi Jon.
I want to also congratulate Paul, Tim and the Traffic-Splash team for a great accomplishment. It’s a great model to follow!
Kudos to you for shining your spotlight on them and all other traffic exchange owners doing right by the people spending their money and time at these kick-ass TE’s.

I had no idea the dolphin was new when Paul took over the exchange. I joined Traffic Splash as my first traffic exchange just because of the dolphin!
I agree that great customer service is part of the reason for the continued success of Traffic Splash.
Hi Jon,
When I first started to use Traffic Exchanges, I was told to use TrafficHoopla.
From all of the traffic exchanges listed inside, I enjoyed surfing at Traffic-Splash the most, because of the fast loading surfbar.
After I finished surfing, I sent in ticket to claim my reward and guess who was writing me back – Paul Kinder!
It was such a nice feeling that I will never forget!
Congratulations to “Dolphin Dude!”
Andrew Levin
Thanks for the kind words everyone. Much appreciated. Just goes to show – teamwork works!
Hey Andrew, the days of me working in support for 16-18 hours or more a day are long gone but I do still sneak in there several times most days and answer some. Just can’t resist! lol
I’m really proud of all we’ve done together at Traffic-Splash and last Friday was especially cool when I saw both Jon and Tony Tezak mailing about us, no JV deal, nothing much in it for them. The top two guys in TE history (imho) just mailed because they wanted to celebrate our 50k. It really doesn’t get better than that.
Thanks to everyone who’s helped Traffic-Splash reach the 50k. Now can we get to 100k before year end? Let’s see!
I want to Congratulate Paul Kinder for doing the impossible and getting 50,000 members in less then 2 years. Paul was one of my closest friends online when he purchased Trafflic Splash and to watch him from a unknown marketer who we traded signups with in different marketing programs to become the success he has is simply amazing and well deserved. I am honored to have Paul as a friend. Paul did what several previous owners of Traffic Splash couldn’t do and no one else except Paul could have done it with the drive and dedication that he put into Traffic Splash.
Let me not overlook the great support team that Paul put into place and his association with Tim Rush who took a buggy script and fixed all the problems that TCNTE scripts have. I also want to thank Paul from taking my close hometown friend Jamison Raymond and hiring him to help in Traffic Splash support and to design all those award winning Splash Pages. James is really a star just like Paul.
Here’s to the next 50,000 members and beyond. Keep making history my friend, you have really done your part in less then two years to make the big time marketers take notice of Traffic Exchanges and give them a whole new positive outlook on the Traffic Exchange industry.
Jon:
I joined Traffic Splash a few years ago and have seen the continuous progress of this great traffic exchange. No wonder whey they already reached and surpassed the 50,000 members. My sincere congratulations to Paul and partners. When the 100,000 will come?
