Traffic Exchanges Don’t Work…

Here’s a newsflash, the ‘experts’ at the Warrior Forum are telling everyone that traffic exchanges don’t work…Wow, is it 2006 all over again?

Let me rewind my rant and explain. Jared Silver decided to pose the question this weekend in the Warrior Forum (the big bad internet marketing forum) if traffic exchanges work…The post was meant to stir things up and highlight some of the better aspects of the business (a.k.a. you, the members of these programs and the lifeblood of the communities).

Well, how did it go? We were the most popular thread this weekend in the forum and well, let’s just say Jon Olson didn’t win over any fans from the thread. Why was I defensive? Because this is the same argument I’ve been having for over a decade about traffic exchanges.

Let’s put it this way…SEO people HATE the thought of traffic exchanges because their numbers may not be up to par with their SEO game plan. I’ve had my issues with SEO ‘claims’ for years but I have changed my way of thinking these past few months. I have woken up to the fact that there are MANY ways to generate traffic, neither is better than the other.

So when people call my life’s work ‘junk’ and ‘a complete waste of time’…Sorry, Papa Jon comes out to defend his businesses. But I should have known better…LOL Anyways…

Traffic exchanges DO work and work better than they ever have. Combined with the social surfing element, which many including myself, think is the biggest improvement this industry has seen in a decade, the numbers are there. The members keep surfing, the members keep joining, the members keep purchasing and the results continue to speak for themselves.

All in all, there was great people in the Warrior Forum this weekend like John Guanzon and others who made strong points for the traffic exchanges (without the Jon Olson-esque emotions lol) and I think it was a bright spotlight pointed again, at our industry.

Fun times but I know my place and where I do my best work. I will stick around the communities built for the traffic exchange industry! It’s a great business to be in and after 13 years, it’s only getting better…

P.S. Speaking of communities, remember T3 is tonight! At 7pm Eastern. It should be a good one!

Your Own Badges…S.O.L.A.S.T.

Well, now we’re really going to upset some people LOL Tim just created a code for people to purchase their own badges. Either a single badge or a complete set that you can have for your business and give them away as you see fit.

Here’s how you purchase your own custom badges to give away…

1. Log into CTP here: ClickTrackProfit Log In

2. Now click on this link to see the order page!

Now you must realize a few things. First the people that get badges’ and know how powerful they can be have already taken some steps to get their own badges. People like Shane from SiteXplosion, William from SurfSkeleton, Smith from LiveTrafficNetwork, John from ThumbVu…And many others. These people know how powerful these can be for their business and their traffic exchanges.

Second, you do not need to own a traffic exchange to benefit from your own badge. You can hide the links to your badges in your thank you letters on your autoresponder lists. You can hide them in your splash pages. In blog comments. Forum posts. Anywhere you can copy and paste the Badge Code, you can give a badge away.

Talk about customer loyalty and potential HUGE windfall’s for people actually LOOKING for your pages in rotation. Site owner or a traffic exchange surfer looking to build their brand…The badges can be huge for you.

Now of course, a bunch of people will hate it. They’ll say they are juvenile. They’ll say they are too expensive. They’ll say TimTech sucks. Hey, whatever makes them sleep better at night =)

For those of you that want to experience the huge power of the Great TimTech Badge Hunt…We look forward to working with you!

P.S. S.O.L.A.S.T. stands for ‘stick out like a sore thumb’…. B0708B19D6
