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 a few weeks ago Tim Linden, Austin Hallock, John Guanzon and myself had this crazy idea…How do we benefit from the concept of team downline building and bring a simple system into the market that allows members to build their downlines easily and creates massive networking opportunities…

We’ve seen the massive success of programs like Ocean Swell, TE Profits and other easy to use programs and to be honest we’re really trying to build something special at both Traffic Wave and TE Toolbox, so we bumped heads together and came up with TE Teams.

There was no JV launch, no special announcements, it just got released (and it made quite a few people scratch their head). This is a surfer-centric system where teams are created, team owners are born and complete control is given to the individual team. It’s got a total of 7 programs in it to join, so this isn’t going to build your downlines in a huge number of programs…Remember, this system was created to be a kick start, a smart start into building downlines mostly in Traffic Wave and TE Toolbox.

The idea is there, the concept and belief in the team building way is in place, now we just need to go to town with it. A team can be set up and managed as the team members and owner sees fit. Want to have a structured downline? No problem, you can. Want to make it a straight downline builder, no complicated math, you can. Want to just have a place where you can hang out with your networking associates? You can do that here too.

It’s a new twist on a age old concept, good things happen when we work together. So which TE Team will you be on?

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

The News

- The Traffic Exchange Wonder Kid, Mike Gartner launched something VERY cool that I have not done a good enough job talking about this week (don’t worry Mike, I’ll get it out there). It’s called List Getting and it’s an all in one list building system complete with rebrandable downloads ot give your list of subscribers and the plug and play simplicity of this system is second to none. You’ve got to see this puppy in action, it’s amazing…But of course, it’s from Mike Gartner. Awesome!

- With all the madness going on at I Love Hits these past few weeks, I got some new splash pages created to promote both Bracket Surfing and the new commissions being offered. There are also a few new banners to help promote ILH and *gasp* now there is actually a reason to promote it. I know, I know, I’m about 4 years late to the party…

- Speaking of I Love Hits, we’ve come up with the top prize for this week’s Bracket Surfing contest and it’s a brand new Logitech Wireless Headset. Be sure to surf for your chance to win at the new and improved I Love Hits…Yeah, we’ll keep giving away prizes like this to spread the word that we’re BACK!

HEN Top 10

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.)

1. StartXChange
2. Traffic Splash
3. Max Traffic Pro
4. Hit Safari
5. Tezak Traffic Power

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 Ramblings

The ‘Lazy Way’ Usually Sucks

Seeing T.E. Teams get released about 36 hours ago has really woke me up to a big problem facing the traffic exchange industry. Now before some people come to my house to lynch me, please allow me some time to explain my point here…When people hear that ‘a team’ will build their downlines, they usually get very lazy, don’t promote themselves, give up and then cuss the entire traffic exchange industry claiming they don’t work.

One look at the sheer size of one of the teams in T.E. Teams and you can see a big chunk of those people are gravitating towards it simply because of the names in the team and the thought they they can sit back and get results from doing nothing themselves.

Now if you are new to this industry and are struggling to see results, the idea and concept behind T.E. Teams is perfect for you. It’s true that team work helps everyone but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pull your own weight.

I know, this is nothing new in the traffic exchanges as for years we have seen the latest greatest money makers come and go but it’s a cycle I think we can all do without. Here’s the scoop, if you want to take advantage of something like T.E. Teams, get ready to put in effort. If you are going to get into list building? Get ready to not have an exciting life for a few months while you learn the ropes. If you want to get into traffic exchange brand awareness, you better have your patience in check.

Fact is, it does not matter what side of the industry you are on, this stuff takes effort and a lot of hard work. There are great tools and services out there that help you along the way but here it is folks, and some people may not like me after I say this but you are going to have to….Work for it.

Are you a member of I Love Hits?

If so, I need your help this week and I promised I will make this as easy as possible. Basically I’m changing email services for the ENTIRE traffic exchange and I’m attempting to move everyone over to the new list.

So far, it’s been smooth with just one little hiccup. This will not change your account information, it’s just an easier way for me to manage my communication with members using the service provided by Traffic Wave.

I know it’s a bit of a hassle and I do appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. This will NOT be a habit and I won’t be changing things any time soon. But after 9 years, it’s time for I Love Hits to have a reliable email provider.

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

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Ramblings

I’m sitting in front of my computer today, preparing another issue of Hit Exchange News and I’ve got to admit something, this week it’s been VERY tough to find things to write about.

Usually I can find tidbits here and there, but during the past 7 days the traffic exchange industry has been, well, dull.

There’s usually some kind of promotion, some new feature, something of note. This week, it was very tough to find news. And I’m not pointing fingers at all, just trying to give us all a kick in the rear end.

We need innovation. We need stuff that will keep us surfing, keep us talking, keep us focused. Where are they? Where are the owners who are stepping up and creating something to rave about in this industry. We need more of them!

And don’t get me wrong, I think I’m writing this to remind myself that I can’t be ‘comfortable’ with what my programs are. I need to keep them growing, keep them in front of people. This is industry wide, not one or two owners, all of us.

Are you a surfer? Demand to see changes. Make your ideas known. Let the owners know what you want to see. If you are an owner, get in touch with your members and ask their opinions.

We all benefit when we see innovation, the industry grows and more people get excited about the potential these programs can bring. Let’s get busy!
