This is Hit Exchange News...

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!

I was on the road for about 3 weeks and got back last week to a bunch of private messages and emails from a few traffic exchange owners. They said they had something big and they wanted me on board.

The special project was completed about 30 seconds ago and I`m honored to announce it here today in Hit Exchange News. It`s called the `Super Surfer` script and the following 5 traffic exchanges have installed this unique and first of a kind script.

Advertising Know How
Traffic Splash
Dragon Surf
Magnify Traffic
I Love Hits

The concept is simple, surf these 5 traffic exchange at once at anytime of the day and get increased surf ratios across the board. This is on top of all the bonuses you would already get for surfing these traffic exchanges, but now when you surf them all at once, you get even more with the Super Surfer script.

This is a monumental day in the traffic exchanges because for the first time, we are seeing 5 different owners, with different scripts and business ideals, come together and create something EVERY single one of their members will benefit from.

This is a massive joint venture in the truest sense of the word and on behalf of Robert, Soren, Kyle and Dan, Paul and Tim and myself, we’d like to introduce you to the Super Surfer script.

Log into one of the traffic exchanges above, upload your usernames to the script once (and only once) and start surfing. Your bonuses are ready and the traffic will be flowing like never before!

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

- Speaking of Traffic Splash, Paul just let me know that they hit the 30,000 member mark a few minutes ago. This has been the success story of the traffic exchanges during the past year and a half. Congrats to Paul, Tim and the entire Splash family!

- Hit Pirate also celebrated a milestone this week and even though it’s not as high as Traffic Splash, it’s still a wonderful achievement for one of the hardest working traffic exchange owners on the planet. Congrats to Captain Jack for hitting 8,000 members this past week!

- The 31 Flavors of August promotion has started at both Clicks 4 Education and Surf 4 The Earth. Neat little promo where you get a bucket of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream for every 100 pages you surf in both exchanges. A ‘cool’ way to surf this summer and another promo to ‘tackle’ the legendary summer slow down.

- 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 ‘Jesus Moreno’ for winning last week. Be sure to send your mailing address to me so that I can ship you a copy!

- Splash Page Hall of Fame – Speaking of the Super Surfer script, check out the brand new splash page you will be seeing everywhere for the next few weeks here! 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

Working Together? Get It Done!

With the launch of the Super Surfer script today, I can finally say that the traffic exchanges as a community, has taken a wonderful leap forward.

What’s the big deal? A neat script to give you bonuses if you surf 5 exchanges at once? Yeah, that’s cool but the big thing for me, as an owner and surfer is the fact that 5 owners got together and made something happen as a whole.

Remember all the hype about the traffic exchange alliance, downline integrity brigade and associations of traffic exchanges coming together? Well this script did that PLUS showed trust and mutual respect between 5 different companies who do things their own way.

The end result? A wonderful new script with massive potential for future additions that benefits every user of every exchange taking part. I joked about getting ‘teary eyed’ earlier today in the SWAT Traffic seminar room but honestly, this has been a long time coming and I’m so honored to be a part of it.

Enjoy it folks, this is the first of many new advances in the traffic exchange industry and shows the maturity of it as a whole!

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- Downline Integrity Brigade? What ever happened to that?

- Traffic Dynamite Pro? Sure do like to ‘borrow’ images from Traffic Dynamite.

- Oh and before the haters start complaining, yes the top 10 this week includes every exchange in the super surfer script (except ILH of course). Why? Because it’s my opinion, and I love to showcase owners who do things differently!

I’m going to be giving away a copy of my book Hits, Clicks & Misses: The Traffic Exchange Experience every week to a reader of Hit Exchange News. It’s been a while since H.E.N. has had any kind of giveaway so I decided to do one every week from now on.

How do you win? Pretty simple really. Post a comment about the week’s issue. Agree, disagree, like something, hate something. I want to really get not only reader feedback from the newsletter but also get a feel for what people are thinking about traffic exchanges.

Already have a copy? No worries at all, we’ll be sure to get you something of similar value if you win. There is no science to this, as you know I’m very ‘opinionated’ and like to just do things at the drop of a dime. So get those comments posted and let’s talk traffic exchanges!

Have a great week and happy surfing!

- Robert Purcell has come on board to be the full time programmer at I Love Hits. You’d think that this would have happened earlier but being the tech savvy dude that I am, I didn’t get him on board when I should have. However, he’s on board now and we are going to do amazing things at our little traffic exchange that could! Welcome Mr. Purcell, your valuable input and skills are going to be a great asset.

- Magnify Traffic announced that they have some massive changes and a new design on the way. This should be a great bit of news for anyone that uses this program. It’s one of the best custom scripts out there and with the design and changes on the way, should help catapult this program into the traffic exchange elite.

- Get ready for the next massive traffic exchange launch in a few weeks. This is going to rival Traffic Era as the biggest launch of 2008 and I’ve already been test driving this for the past few weeks. It’s going to be a lot of fun and has the potential to become the biggest traffic exchange on the net. Two great guys are behind it, one that I owe a ton of credit to for helping me build my business and the other who has shared countless hours in a rental car with me, traveling from city to city on our way to various seminars. get ready to be IMPRESSED!

- Splash Page Hall of Fame – StartXchange has a new look and a very cool new splash page to go along with it…

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Rambling

I Love Spending Money…

In the traffic exchange industry that is. You know, this may sound corny and just plain silly but I love to pay other traffic exchange owners when I buy credits / page views or upgrade in their program.

Why? What’s with the warm and fuzzy feelings?

Simple, when we are investing in each other’s business, this proves a healthy and growing industry. Everyone benefits when we buy traffic, upgrade in a program or purchase a site of the week or two. You see, the more money that is spent, the more money that goes around in the business.

I used to have a very specific budget that I followed for the first two years of my business. I spent ONLY 75 dollars a month, and this paid for my ad tracking, my hosting, my rotator and mailing list provider. I was left over with a few extra bucks to spend on traffic. And I used it wisely!

After time, it grew and grew and the more money that my businesses earned, the more I spent in other people’s business. It takes the entire ‘co-op advertising’ angle to a whole new level. I scratch your back, you scratch mine I guess. But one thing is for sure, it sure does feel good to see these programs grow and grow…

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- I love the new look of Start Xchange. What a great new layout and color scheme.

- Why do I keep getting reminded that my Web Biz Insider upgrade expired…2 years ago? No matter, I get 100 credits every time I’m reminded…

- A quick reminder that I will be in Toronto next week. If anyone is around the G.T.A., drop me a line. Let’s try to hook up for a coffee and chit chat about…Yeah, traffic exchanges. =)
