Traffic Exchanges

There are some pretty cool changes being made to Traffic Exchange List that I wanted to talk about yesterday, but didn't get a chance to. Sometimes this daily blogging thing is alot harder than you'd think ;-) Surfers replaces Unique The reports have been changed and no longer include "Unique" traffic, but rather include "Surfers". [...]

Something I added to the Traffic Exchange List Reports was a "Change" field. Basically you can see how big a change an exchange has made in rankings over the previous week. The top exchanges tend to not move around too much, but when you get into the smaller exchanges you can see some big changes: [...]

A year has gone by, and a new one has begun. So what did we learn from last year? Well I want to know what YOU thought, before I go on to what I thought. In fact, now that I think of it I'll write the post tomorrow and include your thoughts as well. Sound [...]

I've got some great news today, because well we finally figured out what we were doing wrong with certain site scanner installs. You see I'm a custom exchange guy, and William Brant is a TCNTE guy, and so when we played with certain other scripts (primarily the "Walker / Ventrino" traffic exchange scripts) we weren't [...]

This month so far I've received almost 70,000 hits from about 90 different traffic exchanges. I tried to make sure there was at least 1,000 hits in each of the exchanges throughout the past week. It sure has made me wonder about all those claims for getting 10,000 hits a day out of traffic exchanges..  [...]

I've been hanging out in Traffic Exchange Live, weekdays from 3PM-5PM EST. It's where all the cool people hang out during the day =P It started when Jon Olson and I were planning on doing a live event during the TEtoolbox launch, and then we realized how fun it was and wanted to do it [...]

One of my biggest pet peeves over the years of telling people about branding on traffic exchanges was then telling them how to track their results. The problem is, tracking which exchange provides a signup doesn't show you the full picture. If we know it takes 7 views of an ad to get a signup, [...]

This is especially useful if you are an admin to any kind of site, but I've also found uses for it outside of the admin realm. With Google Chrome there is a "Incognito Mode" that starts a private session. It doesn't remember your history, cookies, etc. What I've found it most useful for is logging [...]

It's probably not amazing to know, but I did some heat map testing on my signup page, and it shows that people are checking off the "I agree to the TOS" check box, but only one person actually clicked it. Pretty funny if you ask me! Hey, I usually don't. But then sometimes I do [...]
