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 always seem to be complaining about something or another in the traffic exchange industry. I’m the first one to whine about the lack of creativity and cry foul when someone doesn’t agree with me right away (I’m working on that…Really I am). Yes folks, I’m a bit of a head case…But hey, I wear my emotions on my sleeve…
Something I LOVE to do is give high fives to people that make a difference in this business and today I want to focus on 3 people (groups of people) who have in the past few days, made my world a little better in this business.
Jeff Parker at Traffic Fugitive who on Monday decided to keep the momentum going with our little charity (check the last blog post below for more information on that…) So what Jeff did, which was great he said for every 100 page views that the membership does at Fugitive, he would donate a buck. I love it! It created awareness for his program, the charity and for an owner doing good in this business.
Tony Tezak came up with one of the coolest ideas I have seen in recent memory this week as well. His ‘Letter Ads’ at Tezak Traffic Power are a very smart idea simply because he is using a ‘game’ in his surf bar for an advertising opportunity. Everyone, program owner, advertiser and surfer, all benefit from this and I love seeing these kind of new additions to the business. Great stuff man!
And finally…The people at Traffic Exchange Live who dealt with a grumpy Jon on Monday afternoon but then got to talking yesterday and I think the first ever ‘T.E. Summit’ is now in the works. These people are the cream of the crop in this business and I love seeing their ideas come together. We’ll see where the ‘Summit’ goes but I’m excited…And it all happened from people ‘networking’ and discussing things. Funny how that works huh?
Even though I’ve been kind of glum this week (offline stuff, trying to close on my house sale, etc…) it’s been a GREAT 3 days in the traffic exchange industry. Let’s keep it going and see what other cool things we can come up with!
