The most confusing part about Sweeva is the bidding process. People don't always get why they bid on specific days or times. It's so you can be there!
Sweeva adds a 3rd dimension to your advertisements. You no longer are sending out a page and hoping people notice. You can be there with the viewers and interact with them.. LIVE!
So when you add a bid, select the hours you'll be online, and download the toolbar. That way if you have to go check your email you'll be able to see your site's title when it comes up.
Then when you browse your page on Sweeva, be ready! If you get critisism don't worry, not everyone will love your page. But if you get good at it, you can turn that critisism into buyers or feedback to improve your page for next go around. That's the remarkable thing about Sweeva!
Seriously, I saw a few times where owners of the pages being shown were able to turn the negative comments into positive ones and get people raving about it. When have you been able to do that with advertising?

You are right, Tim… this is something we have NEVER been able to do, prior to Sweeva!
Here are prospects that you can talk to AND clear up any gray areas… ON THE SPOT!
Yes I got some valuable feedback on my pages and got positive comments after making changes.
And so far conversion rate is better than any other Traffic Exchange.
OK,
1. Toolbar?? you hid that feature so well I did not know it existed!
2. Toolbar – ummm a certain TE owner penalises members if their browser window drops below a certain size. the more toolbars we add the less visible space is left (yes this is now the second toolbar said owner wishes us to add)
3. since placing a bid is no guarantee of having site shown there is an element of randomness – you could choose to have a bid timed for when you are online, but be out-bid – many members are limited in how much they can bid
4. EVEN if you are online, AND surfing Sweeva when your bid is displayed you can miss your site – it happened to me several times.
The concept is good, but the actual implementation is still fairly hit-and-miss
What I hate is the canned emails sent by so many- it is so full of bull
“hundreds or thousands of viewers’?
try maybe 40- 0only about 1/5 of those on line will see your site- the rest are naturally surfing at a different pace.
The concept is great, the actual reality is very different.
10 hours on Sweever to get one member, 5 minutes sending to safelists- 12 members
sure- I could upgrade or buy credits and show my site more-but if it doesn’t work for free members then I will not support it.
It seems that the majority of those raving are those with means,or part of the “clique” making it seem rather an elitist site.
I am sure things will even out after the intial surge- and the main thing I have against it is that it is too damn additive :)
Still struggling with the toolbar just a bit myself in that I’m not sure when the right time is to use it to bump up my toolbar loyalty counter. I’m at level 18 but the counter still sits at one. Do I wait for a prompt to use the toolbar to add a site? Or can I just do it once a day? So far when I’ve tried it on my own, I’ve gotten locked up, but that may be on my end.
Thanks,
