Issue 298 – Social Browsing Is The Game, Sweeva Is It’s Name!
It’s been a few weeks since the last issue of Hit Exchange News because I’ve been way too busy it seems. First of all, I’m finally moving to Edmonton, Alberta and tomorrow is my last ‘full day’ in Saskatoon. I’m excited for the change and look forward to my new life…Speaking of which…
I guess it’s not a secret anymore what I have also been up to lately as on Tuesday May 4th, Tim Linden, Austin Hallock and myself (with the help of the best JV team in history!!!) launched the internet’s first ever ‘social browsing’ site… Sweeva.com!
What’s unique about this site? Why should you care about it? What’s all the hype about?
Social browsing is unlike anything you have experienced before. This takes everything that is good about traffic exchanges and mixes it together with the power of social networking like nothing before. At Sweeva, you don’t surf one site at a time by yourself, you surf the entire system with every other member using the program at that time.
Let’s put it this way, you and the entire membership will be surfing the exact same time. You all see the same thing but that’s where the ‘traffic exchange’ side of things ends. Now comes the social browsing / networking side of things….
While you browse, you are in chat with the other ‘Sweevers’, each of you commenting on what you like, and what you don’t like about the site. Are you the site owner? You get to connect directly with every view on that page and walk them through any questions, concerns or problems they may have. How powerful is this?
It’s live interaction with potential clients, customers and maybe even a future business partner or two. Since Sweeva launched, the raves have been coming in and just to give you an idea of how powerful this system can be, I’d like to share with you a story we got when we asked the membership for feedback…
“I ran 2 bid accepted campaigns on my first day as a member. On the first campaign I made 2 sales in only a few page views! Second campaign, more sales. And judging from the comments received, it was viewer comments and feedback that helped close the sales! I look forward to Sweeva’s further growth and development!”
Sales! Not leads. Not clicks. Sales…
We’ve been blown away from the reviews and we hope this is just the beginning.
Have a look, poke around and experience social browsing. We’re not claiming it to be ‘the next big thing’ we’re just enjoying the ride and loving the fact that people at networking and seeing massive results!
Thank you very much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News and have a wonderful week!

The News
- As you guessed it, this week’s Hit Exchange News is going to be very ‘Sweeva’-centric. It’s only been 48 hours since the program launched and already we are approaching 3500 members. It’s growing by leaps and bounds but the big thing to note, this is a traffic exchange (kinda) that isn’t limited to the traffic exchanges. Expect massive growth in the next few months as people catch the ‘Sweeva Fever’…
- I Love Hits, I haven’t forgotten about you! Starting next week at Bracket Surfing we are giving away another Flip HD camera to the winner. The next Brackets start on Monday May 17th, so mark that date down if you want to win a brand new camera…
- Huge congratulations goes out to Guido at Traffic Witch for hitting the 40,000 member mark in a little over 16 months…WOW! That is huge and a very very impressive stat. This goes to show every new traffic exchange owner out there, there IS a way to launch these programs and keep them viable. Guido mastered it and congratulations are in order.

2. StartXChange
3. Easy Hits 4 U
4. Traffic Witch

Question: Hey Jon, how come I Love Hits and SWAT Traffic or Sweeva 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 Ramblings
Creativity Is Alive…And It’s Found While Browsing Sweeva…
Yes, Sweeva.com has become extremely popular in a short amount of time, but this ‘Deep Thought’ is more about what I have seen while browsing the system for the first two days of it’s existence.
Something is happening at Sweeva and I’m absolutely LOVING what I have been seeing. We are seeing people use creative ways to build their brands like never before and promote in new ways that could have never been possible 49 hours ago…Want some examples?
Check out Darren Olander’s amazing LIVE promotion of his blog where he records himself promoting and captures it on screen. You get to see live interaction with web site viewers and well, Darren showing once again why he is a master at the game of personal branding.
Or how about Eric Goettman’s now famous squeeze page that became the RAGE on Sweeva yesterday. I mean I do not know the numbers, but I sure signed up for his list. That kind of creative branding, well, you cannot PAY for that kind of exposure.
That’s just two example of the dozens upon dozens of pages I’ve personally seen while browsing Sweeva that have left my jaw on the floor. I love it! I love the creativity this program has sparked and more importantly, I love that people are seeing results by…Yup, you guessed it…Being creative!

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
- Want to see something fun? Go do a search for the hash tag #Sweeva on Twitter. Now THAT is exciting stuff…
- I’m officially becoming a resident of Alberta in 24 hours…Funny ‘cycle of life’ story, I started with traffic exchanges and MPAM when I lived in Calgary a decade ago…
