Traffic Exchanges

I made some posts about this in the past, making it a goal to point out the positive rather than the negative in other exchanges. I did the whole spotting bad traffic exchanges posts and focused on the negative, but realized maybe the best way is to raise the bar by pointing out who's doing [...]

Most TE's want banners with no html, how do I do that? What they need is the URL to your banner, and the URL to your link. If you have HTML from an affiliate toolbox chances are you've got these two items in there. Note that flash and javascript banners won't work this way, but [...]

Sometimes I wonder if Less is More with traffic exchanges. Keeping track of them is crazy. Check out my gmail account that only gets traffic exchange emails. This address is only given in the members area of an exchange, nowhere else. I've got 660 emails in my inbox, and 30 exchanges filtered (they get lables [...]

Well with my new video splash pages targetting specific exchanges, I've been getting great results. Here are my current top 10 exchanges: EasyHits4u ListSurfing StartXchange Traffic-Splash FastEasyTraffic Blue-Surf TrafficBunnies Hit2Hit FarmTraffic ILoveHits Note the two new exchanges in there..  FarmTraffic and ListSurfing..  Pretty cool seeing them in the top 10. Of course this my top [...]

The biggest reason people stop using any exchange is lack of results. I know, because I ask when members delete their accounts at StartXchange what their reason is. The most obvious reason they aren't getting results is failure to create targetted splash pages. Just dropping in an affiliate link everyone else is using is not [...]

In the Affiliate Funnel conference room yesturday afternoon, Jon Olson announced the top 10 exchanges brought in over 7,000 new members that week combined. I don't remember the exact number, but that's a big number. However, one must wonder how many of those 7,000 joined more than one of the top 10 that week, right? [...]

Does it even exist? =P LOL of course! I've been thinking of different ways to advertise StartXchange to non traffic exchange members. Search and Safelists come to mind, what do you think? It's the age old question, but when you provide traffic the pressure is on to bring in more and more new people every [...]

I regularly suspend accounts every day for doing this, and it's for doing something that many people believe is OK, and that nobody knows they are doing it. Unfortunately for them, it means they are permanently banned at StartXchange, and I do know they are doing it! What is it I'm talking about? Making spam [...]

Ok so obviously that splash page wasn't working. Is it time/branding, or is it the copy? I created 8 variations of the splash page using some advanced scripting and tracking, and I'm going to see the results. At the same time I'll still be testing which exchanges are bringing home the bacon. On Monday I'll [...]
