I just got back from a nice little run around the Canadian Rockies with my family and have been looking forward to writing this issue of Hit Exchange News for quite sometime. It’s great to get away but there is something I love about this business and being able to comment on it each and every week…

Traffic exchanges have come a long way. What’s remarkable about this business model is that for years, people have over looked them and they still perform. While some internet marketers swear by PPC and search engine optimization, others like myself, prefer the ‘free route’.

We STILL have thousands of new surfers coming online each and every week, one look at the list at Affiliate Funnel’s Top Traffic Exchanges and you can add up and see thousands upon thousands of new surfers.

The fact is traffic exchanges continue to grow by leaps and bounds, each and every week.

Are you grabbing your slice of the pie? Are you creating traffic exchange specific splash and squeeze pages that target these movers and shakers? Are you tracking and testing your results?

Make sure your exchange campaigns are performing because there is a LOT of new people coming online and they will be looking for good advice from good people. You may be new too, but think about this, every day if you are learning something new in this business, you know more about it then someone who will join in a day or so…

Keep your name in front of these new surfers, constantly and over a period of time and you will see some great results!

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

The News

- Some are calling it the IM Success Formula of 2009 and I tend to agree. Guido Nussbaum’s Guru Ambush has been very well received since it was released a few days ago. This is the blue print to the Traffic Witch owner’s rise from zero income to over six figures in less than a year. It’s some pretty powerful stuff and you can grab the blueprint for free right now!

- Super Surf was back…Kinda! Last week I Love Hits, Traffic Splash, StartXChange and Tezak Traffic Power had a soft run of a new Super Surf script that we are going to implement in the future. It was a smashing success and get ready because when this puppy is all set up, surfing will never be the same again!

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Rambling

More Things I’ve Noticed…

Folks, if you make any money by promoting or surfing a traffic exchange…It’s a bonus!

Something that has got me scratching my head lately is this new wave of surfer that feels they are owed commissions and surfing bonuses just from using the exchanges. It’s the only reason people seem to surf at all these days.

It’s not for what you promote anymore, it’s not about building your own business, it’s all about making money from surfing. Wow.

Are you building your own list? No I’m surfing for a penny.

Are you branding your own name? No I’ve decided to only surf the exchanges that pay me cash.

It’s getting crazy. I know I stated a few issues ago that I’m done trying to fight this new movement, but wow folks, when did how much money you can make from promoting a traffic exchange decide how effective it was?

I’m living in the past, I know, but I miss the days when we judged a traffic exchange on how it performed first, and everything else was a bonus. There is nothing wrong with commissions, I love getting them, but our focus has shifted…Big time.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- Are you a member of CB Pirate? If so, please do NOT promote the main link in the traffic exchanges…Use the squeeze pages!

- Tim Linden’s blog rocks, but I’ve been really enjoying this one from Jerry Iannucci!

Clickbank Pirate was launched a few days ago, and of course the first sign that this program is going to be absolutely massive is the amount of traffic being sent to it at launch time…The server was running at full speed it was hard to even get to the site. Put it simply, Soren and Cindy KNOW how to launch a program!

Do not worry, things have smoothed out and from what I have heard the program sold over $100,000 in sales in a little over 17 hours. Wow!

Why do I think everyone should be using this system?

Is all the hype worth it?

Can it really help your bottom lime?

Yes, yes and yes…Sure Soren and Cindy are my buddies, and of course I will go to war for them anytime they need me. But I had the pleasure of seeing this idea being conceived (in the middle of the Caribbean sea no less) to being built in front of my eyes. The amount of care, dedication and effort that has gone into this system is truly remarkable.

What makes it so special?

The ease of use!

I mean it’s no secret that I suck at things technical, I have trouble turning on my computer every few weeks, so I appreciate ease of use and well, Clickbank Pirate is EASY…1,2,3…A,B,C…

How does it work? Well, how’s this for simple. Add your Clickbank user name to the system, let the ‘Pirates’ do all the work. They promote amazing Clickbank products, using the most effective squeeze pages I’ve ever seen. Promote your squeeze page, let the Pirate marketing system do the rest.

I love it. It’s everything you could imagine it to be and the sky is the limit for the potential of the program. You are going to see LOADS of people talking about it for the months to come and for good reason.

Clickbank Pirate is quite possibly the best income generation system I have ever seen!

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Rambling

Things I’ve Noticed…

Yes, I know Clickbank Pirate is obviously the topic of the week. Regardless of the program though, I tend to notice some alarming yet almost comical trends that happen when a big program is launched.

First, the complainers start to say things like ‘it’s not fair’ or ‘this program sucks’ or ‘the guru’s are making all the money’. It’s always negative, it’s never positive. It never seems to be like ‘wow, look at all the effort and thought that has gone into this, good job and good luck’. Heaven forbid we are positive and support the drive and determination of the guys and gals that are actually rolling up their sleeves and doing work.

You see, I applaud success. I like nothing more then to see guys and gals that I work with on a daily basis, blow the roof off and deliver something very special. There is a lot of success to be had, and it’s great to see people I know and work with, excel at what they are doing.

But guess what, I am also hoping for their success for ‘selfish’ reasons too. Sounds creepy? Let me explain. You see when someone like Soren Jordansen or Cindy Battye become the talk of the internet marketing world, they have these little programs in Clickbank Pirate called ‘traffic exchanges’ that they are sharing with everyone that joins their new program.

On top of that, the ‘trickle down’ effect is so huge for something like this, it’s a benefit that is industry wide. Think of all the outside people, coming into a program that features traffic exchanges as a form of advertising. This helps us all.

So yeah, I’m happy for them. And yes, I laugh at everyone that has nothing positive to say about the success this program or any big launch is having. I know we ALL benefit when things like this are released, and that folks is another reason I will support any massive launch that helps bring traffic exchange users and owners (two of the top five promoters of CB Pirate are TE owners) to the rest of the industry.
