Issue 245 – The Best Year Yet For Traffic Exchanges!
It’s been a few weeks, but Hit Exchange News is back! After getting through the holidays, and then taking off to the Caribbean for a few weeks, I am glad to finally be behind my computer, writing H.E.N. again.
There is something big on the horizon and it’s potential to thrust traffic exchanges into the mainstream internet marketing spotlight is there…In a few days, Robert Puddy will release his much talked about home study course, Hidden Traffic Formula.
This will be the first ever offline home study course, jam packed with DVD’s, manuals and hours of audio training, all about traffic exchanges and how to get the best results from them. So what makes this so special?
It’s the scope of how Robert is promoting it. Take a look at the front page and you start to see some of the names that will be featured in the product as well as a who’s who of IM success. These people, got their start using traffic exchanges and Hidden Traffic Formula is going to let the industry know how powerful these things can be when used properly.
What’s better? You get a free copy of the first chapter just for registering today. Be sure to pay attention to the massive launch this program have, it’s going to be a great day when the entire internet marketing world will be talking about traffic exchanges…
Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a wonderful week!

Expect big things from this, especially if Tim keeps getting creative LOL

- Top Tier Traffic looks to have had quite a successful launch. With almost 7,000 members registered in about two weeks, you can see how this has the potential to be quite a big program. Been noticing a few server slow downs lately, but that should get fixed soon.

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
How Do You Measure Results In The T.E.’s?
I’ve got two answers to this question and while they are completely different, the message is very important, results matter and matter the most when working with traffic exchanges.
Results can be measured by using an ad tracker of choice. It’s a simple process that does take a bit of elbow grease to get started but once it does, you’ll see how easy it is to set up. I create a tracked link, and name it ‘ILH’ for example if I wanted to track results from I Love Hits. This tells me how many hits I’m getting to the site I am promoting and also with some ad trackers out there, by placing certain code on your site, you can see how many people it takes to view your page before you get a subscriber, new sign up or sale.
That’s the ‘company’ answer to ‘How Do You Measure Traffic Exchange Results?’ Here’s the ‘Jon Olson-Does-Things-Differently-Answer’….
If you have read any of my articles in the past, you’ll know I’m a big fan of branding. So much so that I coined a little term for traffic exchanges called ‘T.E. Brand Awareness’. Essentially it works like this, get your site seen as much in 6 months that you are getting it seen today. Far too many times, people go head first into this business and never stick to it.
HOWEVER, people come back. It’s a proven fact that so many people try the exchanges out, give up after a month or so, and then resurface in half a year or more. Now the power of ‘T.E.B.A.’ is imagine that person seeing your site when they started surfing and when they make their come back…
So how does this measure results? It’s not a scientific answer at all, it’s as easy as getting your site seen as much as you can, as often as you can and for as long as you can. So I measure ‘results’ by how many times my site gets seen. The end result, is that my brand gets built. My name and business are seen and the results come in…Slow and steady.
Both methods work, and it’s completely up to you on how to measure your results, but remember, you must be focused on those results and always be looking on how to improve them.
