Warning: This is a problem I have had this week and it may be something everyone should be aware of. There is a new trend starting up where people are signing me up for traffic exchanges and trying to get me to confirm my account.

This has happened so far at Ad Ventures 4 U and most recently Tunnel Rat Traffic.

I did not sign up for either of these programs but someone who is looking to get me in their downline at these two programs has signed me up. I sent a reply to Ad Ventures 4 U to alert them of the problem, of course my email was not answered and I’m still getting marketing messages from them.

If you have been a victim of this practice, let the owners know. I’m sure they will take care of it and get rid of the member who is doing this kind of abuse. Also, please post your experience below or in Net Marketing Forum.

This kind of practice is bogus. It hurts not only the surfer who didn’t ask to be a member of that program, but also the traffic exchange that it is happening to.

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

The News

- Now that was a launch! Tezak Traffic Power launched a week ago and within 7 days, it’s almost hit 9000 members! This has been remarkable and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. On top of that, the results have been pouring in, especially with it’s ‘List Ads’. Get involved folks, this is one for the ages…

- Top Tier Traffic announced this past week that they have hit the 22,000 member mark. This is an amazing number for such a new traffic exchange. They did it in 6 months, will Tezak Traffic Power beat that?

- Easy Hits 4 U just added a brand new splash page builder to their system. The best part? It’s 100% free to use. I have to say kudos for this not only because it adds massive value, but it’s teaching new exchange surfers the importance of splash page marketing.

Question: Hey Jon, how come I Love Hits and SWAT Traffic 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

The Perfect System Is Profit Rally????

K let me explain that headline before the lynch mob comes after me. This past week I got quite a surprise in my inbox. I have referred two new members to a little program called Profit Rally…

Now for those that may be in the dark, Profit Rally was THE best downline building program on the internet in 2003 to 2005. This thing had everything, a great payment structure, amazing features, quality design and one of the most complete ‘set it and forget it’ systems ever in place. It’s was as easy as promote one link, the system did the rest for you…

What happened to Profit Rally? That’s up for debate but essentially the owner went M.I.A. and has not been heard of since. But what’s even more remarkable is that this system is so well designed, even after years, it’s still working on automatic pilot and STILL, people are using the services provided.

Here’s the thing, I HIGHLY recommend you do not touch Profit Rally with a ten foot pole. If you are looking for a little history, Affiliate Funnel was created as a younger brother to Profit Rally. A lot of the same ‘systems’ are in place there.

Why am I even writing about this? To show you how important it is to have a system in place. Systems are what makes this business work so well. Once your ‘system’ is place you can focus all your energy on it and let everything else happen naturally. That is what we try to teach at Affiliate Funnel….

Promote => Squeeze Page => Marketing Takes Place => Repeat

Now of course, lots more goes into each part of that system, but you can see how simple and effective setting up the right system can be. All energy, focused on the promotion, send that traffic to a squeeze page (builds your list), you have your system set up after people join your list, and finally you repeat the process.

I fought the ‘system’ for years before I embraced it. Once you do get it in place, your marketing is much easier and the results are on auto pilot…

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

- The first T.E. Town Hall meeting took place last week. We had a HUGE turn out…Be sure to look out for the next one in a few weeks perhaps?

- Did I ever mention how much I love Tim Linden’s blog?

- Special ‘get well soon’ to Mr. Robert Puddy…Nasty spill in the shower for Uncle Bob. Hope you heal quick so you can start surfing again =)

It’s been a little over 8 hours now since Tony Tezak launched his first traffic exchange, Tezak Traffic Power. I’ve been lucky enough to not only help launch it, but sit in the SWAT Traffic training room all day and hear the wonderful stories from Tony about how this program is being received.

This launch, as it is right now, could be considered one of the best launches in history. Over 2000 members and climbing and remember, this is only 8 hours into the launch.

How did he do it?

One, he built his name in the industry for years. People know ‘Tony Tezak’. He became a brand in his own right and was the pioneer for personal branding in the traffic exchanges. He built lists, he built his network, he had a great reputation and was known as the voice of the traffic exchange surfer.

Two, he got Paul Kinder and Tim Rash to joint venture with him and be the first program to get on the KR-TCNTE script. That means right now, this is a completely UNIQUE script. He waited patiently for the cards to be dealt to him and launched it with a bang.

Paul, Tony and Tim had a game plan and executed it perfectly. They approached top traffic exchange users, owners and surfers and got them on board their JV team. One look at the top 25 list of referrers and you see not only a few surprises (Never ever doubt Mr. Kinder’s ability to find the best people for the job!) but you see the who’s who of the traffic exchange industry.

And design? Wow, I mean the thing looks like a million bucks, it’s fun, it’s got a mascot (the TEZ robot) and it sticks out like a sore thumb. And the name? I mean even as a program owner, Mr. Tezak is all over the site AND the name of the program has his name in the domain. Brilliant!

But this all wouldn’t have been possible without the key ingredient, and that being Mr. Tezak. Remember, for years we have been showing people the power of personal branding and getting your name out there first before trying to launch a program, here is the proof.

As for the program, it’s rock solid and it’s got some very cool new features. I’m going out on a limb here but knowing the track record of the guys behind this, it’s not a stretch. This program is going to be a powerhouse for years to come and it’s only getting started.

8 hours in, 2000 members….Heh, that’s what I call a success!
