Conclusion: the middle way it's the best way!

To be in balance and avoiding any extreme, is the key to our success!

Great post, Tim.

I think you need unique traffic as well as traffic from traffic exchanges. Yes, you should track where the traffice is coming from so you can improve in what you are doing. I agree that you need to just keep at it and work hard. Hard work and consistency pays off.

Google clearly says not to use Adsense inside traffic exchanges. If you do it, there is a good chance you'll lose your Adsense account.

So what is a unique view then, if it's not one view of the site?

Tim, you are an amazing bank of knowledge and your willingness to share it with the internet marketing world speaks volumes about the person that you are.

I surf everyday, and strive to give each page at least a good look because I hope that is what other surfers are doing when they see my pages. I have noticed with myself, that it does take more than 2 or 3 views of the same site for me to actually stop and find out what it is all about. I think that if you limit unique views, the number should be more than just one per viewer.

Thank you for a very informative post.

You are saying that 1 unique view equals 1 view of your site only, however that is not so and is an oversimplfication of the type of sites that CAN and DO control views.

With uncontrolled surfing you must surely see its disadvantages and the advantage of restricting the number of times per day, a single member, can view any one single submitted URL.

Can you also imagine the huge extra cost to the advertiser of un-restricted views to your site by the same person each day of unrestricted views.

Traffic exchanges that do not restrict the number of times a single member can view any one of your submitted and rotating URLs
are merely demonstrating their lack of control, these types of traffic exchange are doing their members a disservice.

a) TEs should restrict the views of any submitted URL with credits on them to 1 per day.
b) Alow members to submit unlimited URLs, so anyone wanting to advertise and get mroe views to their site can get the extra views that they want to their site.

As free members do most of the surfing and do not earn 1 credit per view, they decrease the amount of total credits in rotation.

Over time TEs would simply run out of site with credits for members to view.

I have to say that I think that the real incentive TE Webmasters have to allow unlimited and unrestricted views to your site, is for the 2/3rds of a credit that is being used up each rotation.

This leaves members with the inability to maintain any credits on their sites unless they upgrade and surf or purchase more credits.

Good points tim, this is why i use a 3rd party tracker that tracks by i.p. address.

even though some i.p.'s change most don't so you can see how many time each unique ip saw your ads and not count them as unique multiple times because 24 hours have passed.
