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!
Here is a list of my favorite traffic exchanges right now in the industry! Every single program owner on this list CARES about traffic exchanges and your results! You are in good hands with every program on this list…
Special Note: You may notice three programs not on this list… I Love Hits, StartXchange and Sweeva aren’t on my top 10 list because I own them. While they are fantastic programs, my Top 10 list since 2003 has highlighted OTHER owners in this business.
I’ve been sending a few emails out to various lists about Michael Rasmuseen’s ‘Get More Buyers‘ home study course. This massively popular program was released earlier this week to a very warm reception.
It’s rare that I really embrace new IM products and push them but I do feel that Michael’s new course is something every marketer (and specifically traffic exchange surfer) should learn. It has become THE challenge to the popular IM myth that the ‘money is in the list’…
Creepy huh?
Something we have been hearing for years is now getting challenged and rightfully so. This course is wonderful for all new traffic exchange surfers and experienced ones alike. Remember, if you are using the traffic exchanges properly you should be branding your name and building your list…ONLY!
Get More Buyers teaches you what to do with that list once you have branded your name AND started to build your list. It’s one of those programs that you should really check out, but like so many times before only a handful will act on it…
For those that do and HAVE received Michael’s course, let me know your thoughts on it below. be sure to post your feedback on the product and give me your input. I would love to hear success stories and even potential failures as well in the comment section.
Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a wonderful week!
- Hit Safari changed scripts this week. This is really strange because I thought the program was on a great script and it was working really well, but it has switched to an LJ environment (I Love Hits, Traffic At The Races, etc). This is not a bad thing, just strange because I did not think Hit Safari was broke or needed a new script. But it’s still trucking along an done of the best programs on the net.
- Logiscape released their new blog and support forum for all their family of traffic exchanges this past week. Not sure how active it will be, but given the resources this company has, there should be some high quality content on there very soon.
- StartXchange broke a little record this week. Get ready for this one. Tim Linden’s juggernaut program had over 318,000 page views in a single day earlier this week. That is just insane. I guess you can’t argue the fact that people love to surf there…Great stuff man!
- 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 ‘Kenny’ 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 – Splash Page Maker continues to lead the way when it comes to unique and eye grabbing splash pages. Note: Why do I focus on splash pages every week? Simple, you MUST be using them in the traffic exchanges to get results. Get a custom made splash page by clicking here!

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
Pitch Me or Leave Me Alone
I got kind of passionate this past week in Net Marketing Forum about emails I have been receiving of late from various traffic exchanges. I’ll go on a rant here about it but if you want to see the full blown ‘tiff’ about it, you can check out the thread about it at NMF.
Basically, some exchange owners are getting on my nerves. Why? Because of the absolute useless emails I have been getting about who won the surf competition for the previous day. Let me explain, I have no problem at all with you sending me a note with previous winners, in fact I think it’s a great idea…Here’s my beef though.
Sell me something! Get me to click something. Ask me to do something. I don’t care who won the contest, I don’t even care if I won, I want a special offer. i want to see something you are recommending. PITCH ME PLEASE!
Weird way of thinking huh? Not really if you are in the marketing arena and are trying to make a living from your traffic exchange. Very simple, we are in a sales environment, so sell me something. Doesn’t mean I’m going to buy every time, but I like the lessons. I enjoy seeing how people ‘sell’, I consider it part of my education in this business. I like nothing more than to see emails from Soren Jordansen and seeing how the guy is selling on a daily basis.
This is a sales business, whether people admit it or not. There is some science to selling and I do everything I can to get better at it each and every day. So please don’t tell me how many surfers surfed 2500 page views yesterday UNLESS you tell me I can get a 25% discount on purchased credits by logging in now.
Hmmm…Maybe some owners should think about ‘Get More Buyers‘ are in investment in their business….Maybe…
