Issue 244 – New Year, Same Vision And…Balloons?
Happy New Year to all the readers of Hit Exchange News!
I am writing this issue one day late, simply because I knew yesterday would not have been the best day to chit chat and talk about traffic exchanges. In my household, my son and mother were playing ‘Pokemon’ all day, and I was busy getting ready for the ‘Marketer’s Cruise’ that I will be embarking on in a few days.
Enough about that though, let’s talk traffic exchanges!
Just before the new year, the Super Surf owners came together and released what may prove top be one of the most exciting (and rewarding) features that has yet to come from the Super Surf exchanges.
We lovingly call it ‘Balloon Hunting’ and it’s a pretty simple concept really. Surf the Super Surf 5 traffic exchanges all at once, and keep your eyes peeled for ‘Balloons’. They will appear in the surf bar of a random Super Surf exchange while you are surfing, and when you see one…Pop em’!
The more balloons you pop (click), the higher you reach on the Top Poppers list. We have weekly ‘lists’ where from Monday to Sunday the top 10 ‘Poppers’ win CASH prizes and if you click just ONE balloon you also have a chance to win some cash prizes as well.
We are very proud of this new service and really hope everyone enjoys it. And please remember, not only are you surfing to find balloons now, but you also still get those big ‘bonus’ surf ratios for Super Surfing…
Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a very safe and prosperous New Year!

The News
- Late Breaking News: This just in…Matthew Graves from Web Biz Insider is ‘pre-launching’ his brand new traffic exchange Top Tier Traffic. This was announced just a short time ago…Apparently everyone is being moved from WBI into the new program but I am not sure yet…
- Do you own a traffic exchange? If so you will love this thread at Net Marketing Forum. We asked a simple question, what is your new year’s resolution for your traffic exchange? It’s been a lot of fun so far to see the responses, but what will be even more exciting is to see who follows through at the end of 2009! Stay the course…
- This may have flown under the radar (pardon the pun) but I have a good feeling about Jet Stream Traffic. Marc Eglon is the owner and he has been implementing some great stuff into this exchange and promises massive new features soon. This is one to watch for sure…
- Check out Blue Surf’s brand new Downline Builder for something very fun, quick and effective. While it doesn’t take away from the traffic exchange side of Blue Surf it offers some great ‘set it and forget it’ downline building. Very cool new feature.
- Be sure vote today for your favorite traffic exchanges at Affiliate Funnel’s Surfer’s Choice ranker. This has quickly become the most popular ranking service on the net as the surfer’s are finally getting their say. Combined with the stats to back it up and our exclusive ‘new members joining’ statistic, you can see which exchanges are showing and proving, each and every week!
- Want to win your own copy of the best selling traffic exchange book on Amazon.com, Hits, Clicks and Misses, (actually, it’s the only published book about T.E.’s on the planet), simply post a comment about this week’s issue of HEN! Congratulations to ‘Max’ for winning last week. Be sure to send your mailing address to me so that I can ship you a copy (hitexchangenews at yahoo dot com)!
- Splash Page Hall of Fame – It’s not really a splash page but DANG it sticks out…. The Top Poppers page has become my new favorite page to look at…Every hour LOL Note: Why do I focus on splash pages every week? Simple, you MUST be using them in the traffic exchanges to get results.

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
In 2009 – Stick With It!
Something pains me like nothing else in this industry, and seeing this is the first issue of 2009, I hope that people can read this and then in 12 months STILL be in this industry to re-visit this post. This industry is notorious for having lots of people come into it, and then just as quickly leave it…
This year alone, I saw massive potential in quite afew new traffic exchange surfers but as the year wore on, they disappeared. Oh I’m sure they will be back, talent like that does not come around every day but it’s going to be extra hard for them to make their mark once they get back into it.
So I’m begging every traffic exchange surfer and owner, to make a vow to themselves and to stay the course in 2009. This year marks my 10 year adventure in the traffic exchanges and I can’t even count the number of times that I felt like giving up and quitting this business…It’s tough at times, it doesn’t make sense at times and above all else, it takes patience.
If you stay the course….That is the greatest measuring stick for your success. I call it traffic exchange brand awareness, but you can call it whatever you want. Please note though, if you get involved with this business, the people who do the best at it, stay the course…
I wish you nothing but success in 2009 and let’s see where there traffic exchanges will take us this year…

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
- StartXchange had over 450,000 page viewed delivered yesterday….Wow!
- Just a note that I am away for the next few weeks on a little boat in the middle of the Caribbean. So internet access will be sparse at best…
- Speaking of which….Last time Super Surf owners got together, T.E.’s got included in affiliate tool boxes around the net…Wonder what will come of 8 days at sea with some of the biggest names in internet marketing….
