What happens when you take a dose of ‘Traffic Exchange Guy’ and add a pinch of ‘Launch Formula Marketing master’ into the mix? You end up with TE Launch Formula.

As some of you know, my old Traffic Exchange Guy consulting has taken offline last month to relaunch this new service. Robert Puddy and myself have been creating this ‘traffic exchange business in a box’ for over a month now with one goal and one goal only, to find the best new traffic exchange owners on the net.

I have been doing this since 2004 and needed to switch things up a bit, so today I’m absolutely thrilled to announce TE Launch Formula to the traffic exchange community.

I’m not going to rave about it, I’m not going to say this is a limited offer. This is the new ‘bottom of my funnel’ and the last time I did this I met owners like Paul Kinder, William Brant, Soren Jordansen and so many others. I can’t wait to see who Robert and I will work with in the future!

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

The News

- Promo Lotto has a new owner! Steve Ayling has joined Ryan Hogan to partner up and run this new and very exciting traffic exchange. I really enjoy Promo Lotto, it’s one of the better new exchanges to be launched in recent memory. And knowing Steve, this thing is about to get a whole lot better.

- SWAT Traffic’s re-launch last week was a wonderful experience and very successful. We had a little contest running this past week to ‘Name The Rottie’, and thanks to the members we have got a name. Our little pooch is now called ‘P.A.W.S. The SWAT Dog’. Congratulations to Jerry Iannucci for winning the contest and thanks to everyone who took part!

- 30,000 members have now joined Traffic Era as they sent out a notice this past week. Not too shabby for the popular Logiscape program, and one of the fastest growing traffic exchanges in the past few years.

- 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!

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

Traffic Exchanges Don’t Work? Don’t Use Them.

This drives me absolutely nuts. There was a new program that launched this past week that had a bit of support around the traffic exchange industry and was shown a lot while surfing. It claimed to be the next level in online promotion and the best way to get traffic to your site.

O.K., that’s fine but here’s the kicker. On the ad copy they essentially said ‘don’t use traffic exchanges, but it’s a lot of effort for minimal results’. Really? So how come this program is getting mention in this newsletter if traffic exchanges aren’t effective. Yeah, I’m writing about it, but not for positive reasons.

If you are going to make bold statements on your ad copy about how ineffective traffic exchanges are, put your money where your mouth is and make your affiliate pages a frame breaker. Problem solved. You won’t get all that ‘nasty ineffective’ traffic exchange traffic.

You know what I think? I think they KNOW traffic exchanges work and are using scare tactics in their ad copy. Nothing wrong with that, however a few years ago I may have went on a tirade about ‘saving the industry’ *lol*. Folks, it’s very simple. These programs work. They have worked for a decade. And companies will use every tactic they can to try to get surfers into their business model.

Know the marketing, know why they do what they do! I still say, traffic exchange users are the best people on the net, and other companies know this…

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- Rumor has it that Virtual Traffic Jam is making a comeback. I swear, Click Silo is up next…

- Did you know that Click Crazey had over 230 new members join last week. Seems to me like a place you may want to advertise in…

- Useless video game news, I had my XBOX Live ID suspended last night. No more video games for Olson…So sad…

The News

- The Super Surfer script continues to push forward and our latest addition was a brand new e-book written by Sunny Suggs and it focuses on giving members a complete A to Z guide to using the script. What’s even better? You can re-brand the entire report for free and give it away as a promotion tool. Be sure to grab your copy here!

- Fresh off the press, Promo Lotto has just added a brand new ‘chat feature’ to their surf bar. This is very similar to Lords of Traffic’s in which members can chit chat while surfing. I love these things, it gives a real sense of community to the traffic exchange. And hey, these are in fact advertising communities. Very cool new feature!

- Justin Ledvina’s Shark Frenzy graphic package has been the talk of many traffic exchange users and owners during the past few days. Mainly, because of the funniest video in the history of pre-sale videos that can be found on the one time offer when you join. As for the product? Well, if you know Justin’s Shark Studios, you know it screams quality. Oh yeah, and it’s free, that’s always a good thing.

Deep Thoughts – Jon’s Weekly Rambling

Don’t Wanna Update Your Members? You Lose A Subscriber!

Interesting situation arose this past month. I have put in place a strict way of doing business when it comes to traffic exchanges and upgrading in them. You see, I love this business and REALLY love spending money with other traffic exchange owners. I’m from the school of thought that if we all make a lot of money, we will all benefit down the road and the industry will grow.

Here’s the problem, when exchange owners completely abandon their program and do not send updates, re-design the site, are active in the industry, or promote their own business in the other traffic exchanges.

I recently downgraded in a few traffic exchanges that I feel aren’t at the levels they used to be, some of these programs were a one time the most innovative in the industry but for whatever reason, the owners have abandoned them. No updates, no new features, nothing. If you are reading this, are an exchange owner and I have recently downgraded…This article is about you.

Want to keep my money in your pocket? Update your members, promote your traffic exchange and be visible in this industry. As more and more educated owners come into the business, some of the old work horses need to step their game up to compete…

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- Top 1 Surf’s ad copy sure does look like I Love Hits’? Hmmm…

- Sneaky sneaky! Affiliate Funnel is about to blow the roof off the traffic exchanges!

- Had a hard time with splash page of the week, but this has got to be squeeze page of the year!
