The pulse of the traffic exchange industry and the random ramblings of Jon Olson (that's me!)
I've been writing Hit Exchange News since 2003 and have been involved in the traffic exchanges for over a decade. Enjoy the 'news', and thank you so much for making this THE must-read traffic exchange blog on the internet!
So we did something ‘different’ this weekend. We ‘kind of’ launched ClickTrackProfit.com around midnight on Saturday. It wasn’t really planned to be launched but something we wanted to do with this program is NOT have JV’s, etc. Reason? For years people have complained about it ‘not being fair’ that JV’s got all the referrals when a new program launched so for us, it was very important to give everyone an equal shot. No one ‘preferred’, no one got the jump on this before you, this was built for everyone.
What is ClickTrackProfit? Is it a new downline builder? Yup. What makes it different than any other downline builder? Simplicity. We wanted to take the idea of downline building in the traffic exchanges and simplify it like never before. So simple, so straight forward that all people had to do is copy and paste one link, and then click…
We wanted to create something that people understood the moment they joined it and saw how simple it would be, all they had to do was promote one link. Keeping things simple from the start allows us to ‘drip feed’ more content down the road. Yes, it looks bare right now but this is actually the plan for the program. The more people get into this, the more they will learn, the more they will understand and we always meant for this to be ‘slow’ and steady.
Splash page multiplex, pass through technology, referral maximizer, commission multiplier? We will be giving people some introductions to ClickTrackProfit today in T.E. Live and T.E. Toolbox at 3pm and 7pm Eastern.
I’ve been singing the praises of Downline Builder Direct over the past few days. I know people are used to the latest program to be shoved in front of them, and only ‘new releases’ discussed and promoted, but this is different…
Being that it’s not a new program but a few months old, really gets you noticing it. Seems weird, in an industry that loves ‘fresh and new’ that we are continuing to discuss a program that was launched months ago.
The reason? Results.
We talk about results each and every day in the training rooms I hang out in, whether it’s SWAT Traffic’s or Affiliate Funnel’s. The fact is, while results are a very important topic, rarely do we see emphasis on results, instead we focus on the ‘new’.
Can you blame us though? I mean, anything flashy and hyped will be the talk of the town until something newer is released. It’s part of the business, just like the internet and technology, our industry is always moving forward.
So while it’s great to jump on new programs and get excited about them, maybe we should remember some of the best performing programs out there, that are NOT new, and have paved the way for the new ones to be launched in the first place.
Hey, I am a dreamer…
Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a wonderful week!
- TE Launch Forumla’s first client is about to launch their traffic exchange in the coming days. Get ready for some big promotions but here’s the best part, the new owner is from ‘outside’ of the traffic exchanges, so he plans on bringing thousands of new surfers into the industry. Ahhh the power of building your list first….

The Famous Hit Exchange News Top 10 (Disclaimer: These are my top performing exchanges for the past week. Alexa rankings and fancy numbers have nothing to do with how I rank my list. This is based on my results and my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.)

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
Why We Need Your Votes…
So the top ranked traffic exchanges at Affiliate Funnel are being voted on each and every week and we are now well into week 2 of our little re-launch of the Surfer’s Choice. It’s a very exciting time at A.F. and for good reason.
You see, we are firm believers in ‘giving the members a voice’. We feel this is the ultimate way to gauge how well a traffic exchange is performing on an industry scale because the more people who vote for a traffic exchange, the happier the surfers are at said program. Point being, the more votes, the higher the votes, the better the traffic exchange is in it’s member’s eyes.
But it’s only two weeks into this thing…It’s very important that we continue the momentum and keep people voting. It’s got to turn into a habit if it’s going to succeed. Like what Hit Safari did this week? Give them a 10. Didn’t like an e-mail I sent to SWAT Traffic, give it a 5. Can’t stand a program, give it a 1. The main idea though, is to vote. And vote daily.
Sure, we’ve already heard the remarks about people ‘begging for votes’ but I don’t buy it. I’m a member of 99% of the traffic exchanges out there and I read EVERY email update and no where did I see people begging for votes. i saw owners asking for votes, and that’s what we want. We want people to get into the habit of voting and creating the ultimate top traffic exchange list on the net.
So what are you waiting for? Be sure to cast your vote here today and let the industry know, what you think should be the top 20 traffic exchanges on the internet!

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
- Blogclicker is back. Blog only exchanges, are they still relevant?
- Why on earth is Traffic Heroes asking their members to give Dragon Surf a low rank? BTW Heroes is not banned at D.S….
