Crazy few weeks in Jon Olson land. I’ve been having a ‘relaxed’ summer and because of that I’ve been very lazy when it comes to adding video content.

Not good. I know. I do apologize and WILL be more active in the coming weeks…

Here’s a quick little update to let you know what I’ve been up to and some very exciting news from SWAT Traffic coming soon…


Industry tidbits this week…

- Carl Bailey of Instant Splash released his brand new Banners & Bucks program today. Very cool new program that’s extremely simple to use. You guys should enjoy it very much!

- Surf 4 The Earth released it’s much anticipated ‘Eco Park’ social networking game. I see potential for the game itself but the tie in to the traffic exchange side of thins is a bit confusing. I really think this should be commended. I like the innovation but perhaps the execution could have been planned a bit better. Great to see people doing new things though!

- We’ve been busy little beavers at Sweeva these past few weeks. We introduced two brand new features, the 10 A Day feature and the ‘Tweet for Ribbons’ addition as well. People have been raving about both of them and we’re so glad to hear that results have been pouring in. Also, Tim just added a brand new ‘PM System’ to that site, ask requested by our members. Enjoy it folks!

And finally…Like I mentioned, get ready for a HUGE announcement at SWAT Traffic. I know I’ve let it slip this past year but it’ll be back with a bang. If you like Bracket Surfing and Sweeva, you’ll love the new direction that SWAT is about to take…

Thanks folks, I appreciate everyone’s comments and thank you so much for being a reader of Hit Exchange News!

The Past Week In Traffic Exchange Land Has Been…

So it’s official! I’m no longer a resident of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and I am finally moved into my new home in Edmonton, Alberta. It feels good to start a new life in a new province and hey it makes it all better when the city is home to your second favorite hockey team…

Let’s just put it this way though, moving SUCKS and I’m so glad to be done with it.

I didn’t get a chance to be as active as I usually am this past week but still there was plenty of news and trends happening in the traffic exchange industry. Here’s what I noticed during the past week or so…

- Sweeva hit 20,000 members! Boy oh boy was I pumped when I saw it click over. I’ve been a part of a lot of programs during my decade plus in this business but nothing has excited me more than seeing the growth of Sweeva and the massive potential it has. Special thanks to EVERYONE who has made this such an amazing experience…We are just getting started!

- We hit 20% of our goal at Traffic Exchanges Care. Over $1000 has been raised so far to fight water shortage around the world but we still need your help. Special thanks to Winter Perkins for creating that amazing new splash page. Please feel free to use it or download the image and use it wherever you can! We need your help, so please donate if you can spare a dollar or two =)

- T.E. Profits got a major overhaul and was relaunched this week. I’m upset that I didn’t get to give this the attention it deserved with my moving obligations. And Scott Douglas, in my opinion, is the perfect example of someone who ‘gets it’ when it comes to making money WITH traffic exchanges. He doesn’t own one but still manages to be one of the most popular and effective traffic exchange advertisers in history. T.E. Profits is a must join for any serious traffic exchange marketer.

- I was pretty upset this weekend too for getting a Pay Pal dispute filed against me from a FELLOW traffic exchange owner. This pretty much left me ranting away in NMF and caused me to potentially lose some business but to be honest, when someone files a false dispute against you, doesn’t attempt at all to call you and work the issue out and it’s from another traffic exchange owner…Well…Good riddance. Filing unwarranted Pay Pal disputes is BAD for our entire industry!

- And finally, I’m thrilled to see all the changes taking place at IM Faceplate. The guys at Logiscape are really trying to build something special here and slowly this is becoming a wonderful place to grow your network. Remember, all this internet marketing stuff is useless without a solid network of contacts. Get out there and meet your fellow surfers!

That’s it for this week. We’re also back every day at T.E. Live, so do stop by for some water cooler chit chat and maybe a Tim Linden ‘blend or two’…
