We’re a little bit early this week for the new issue of Hit Exchange News, mainly because I’m trying to buy a home 500 kilometers from where I presently live. This means lots of travel, road trips and headaches abound. So I thought I better write this week’s issue early instead of trying to get it done in the hotel room…

Anyways, enough about my offline life, let’s get down to business…

I’m going to be sending a special email tomorrow about a very cool new program being launched by Darren Olander. For those that don’t recognize the name, Darren launched one of the most unique and fascinating traffic exchanges of the year, List Surfing.

This program not only combined everything good about a traffic exchange, he incorporated a ‘safelist’ model into the program that essentially let you earn traffic without any effort at all. Seems crazy but it worked and is still working extremely well.

What Darren (and his new program) will focus on is something very near and dear to my heart….List building. Heck, one of his first programs is called List Surfing so you know this guy is all about the power of building solid lists.

Look for a special update tomorrow and I know you are going to love what Darren has in store, I’ve been playing with the program all day today and I was hooked from the first minute….It’s going to rock =)

Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a wonderful week!

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

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Rambling

Are We Destroying The Traffic Exchange Industry?

I’ve been talking about this topic for quite some time now, but today I wanted to speak directly to the owners of these programs that are training their members not to surf. Obviously, I’m not naive enough to think that surfing the traffic exchanges for hours on end is ‘sexy’. In fact some days it can be down right boring, but how much harm are we doing when we create an entire culture of people against surfing?

Here’s what will happen owners, if you continue to tell people not to surf. You will hurt the same business (the traffic exchanges) that has CREATED and feed your programs. These things need a healthy mix of paying members and free members. If you have too much of either, your traffic exchange cannot survive.

So by running around, creating splash and squeeze pages that train people not to surf you are in fact, biting the hand that feeds you.

I know, I know…It’s all about marketing, and getting your message across. That’s cool, I know a lot of T.E. owners appreciate very much the business you have brought them. But perhaps you should attack this from another angle. How about instead of saying ‘Stop Surfing’, how about something like ‘Learn to surf 30 minutes a day and finally see the results you want…” or something along those lines.

Folks, if the traffic exchanges are to survive, we need a healthy community of surfers. I’m still in these things daily, surfing as much as I can and I’ve been doing this for a decade. Surfing can be very informative and very beneficial to your business…If you do it properly.

So I say, keep surfing! Enjoy it, learn from it and prosper. Maximize your results by surfing smarter!
