Traffic Exchanges

One of the problems with traffic exchanges is information overload. After talking about it in TE Live we decided we wanted to make a simple 3 step system to get people started in the right direction. As we were talking about it, we started noticing people really digged being on a team. There is this [...]

Many people under estimate the importance of building a list. It takes work and sometimes a bit of trial and error to get it right, but once you're in the groove it's way easy and way better than other methods. If you look at instant results, building a list isn't there. I think that might [...]

I've seen an increase in the number of Traffic Wave teams. It's really interesting to watch. But at the core there is one goal: Building downlines. The way it's done seems to differ. Does everyone promote the same link? Do we take turns getting the benefits? How do you get paid? Is there a fee [...]

I usually forget about banners, but Steve Ayling recently launched a site called Buckets Of Banners. He was just in Affiliate Funnel talking about how important banners are. I totally forgot.. So I of course grabbed the imagery from my splash page and made a banner with it to match. It's not the best banner, [...]

It's kinda funny that I posted the whole "Who's Job is it Anyway" post. Shortly after making that post I received feedback from two people on two different sites. The first one was a rather unhelpful comment on the blog saying TEList wouldn't let them unsubscribe. Unhelpful because they put a fake email and name, [...]

There are so many toolbars, browsers, computers, etc that your big monster screen might trick you into thinking your advertisements are great. In realitiy, there's lots of wasted space happening: See, out of my huge monitor only about half of it is showing your advertisement. OK so I don't really surf with that many toolbars [...]

I'm in the process of joining an exchange, I read the Privacy Policy and it all seems normal to me: We will not sell, share, or rent personal information to others. Sounds good right? Until you look above it where your referrer's email address is. Oh, but guess what, I didn't have a referrer. It [...]

There are literally hundreds of exchanges online today. Which means there are hundreds of owners out there too. I've tried my best to offer services to owners that will help them be better owners. The more quality exchanges we have online, the better our industry will look to those coming in. #1 Traffic Exchange Owner [...]

It's common in the traffic exchange industry for an exchange to die. It's really easy to get a script, so it's really easy for an exchange to open. When it's that easy, the number of exchanges dieing (or maybe never even being "born") is going to be high. The exchange was mis-managed. This can happen [...]
