Thoughts For The Day

I have a few different thoughts so I didn’t really know what kind of title to put. But here we go:

• Does load time matter with results? I’m thinking about doing a test on 2 identical pages, but having one load slower than the other. I think it matters, but I’m not aware of anyone who’s done actual testing on it. Have you?
• I updated the traffic exchange consulting page. I don’t think I’m very good at the one on one gigs. I take too long to respond. So I think what I’m going to do is just keep adding to that page as I see fit, so any new owner can go straight there and be like BAM yeah baby. Feel free to link that page right up like you light up a christmas tree.
• Work on Traffic Exchange List continues. Now you can comment on the exchange pages again. That ended for a while in 2008. I wanted to try the Google Friend Connect thing, but it didn’t work out as I had hoped. Problem was I already deleted the comment system. Anyways, Austin has hooked it up again.
• Oh speaking of which, the Traffic Exchange Live Toolbar got a kick in the face. The Exchanges drop down now has easy access to the Super Surf Exchanges, ThumbVu (bribery), Top 20 Exchanges, and exchanges running promos. So if you are ranked 50 or lower and are running a promo, go submit it inside the Traffic Exchange List members area. It’ll get pushed to all the toolbars so we can all find out about them easier. Let’s face it, with so many emails going daily it’s really easy to miss a promo.
• Owner Reports – If you are ranked in the most recent report then you’ve got a secret owner report to go with it. But it costs you some dough. $47/month to get the weekly reports. Hefty price but it’ll tell you exactly which exchanges you should be targeting. If you watch my videos or me streaming you’ll notice a piece of paper on the wall next to me, that’s my owner report. It’s customized to your exchange so each report is different and there are some really surprising results in there. For instance Hit Kingdom I had totally forgotten even existed, and it was listed 2nd most important for me to advertise at a few months ago. I did advertising there, got signups, and now it’s at the bottom of the list. Oh and these are in PDF format so you can archive them if you want or print them in color for a really cool feeling. Stick it in a black envelope marked ULTRA SECRET if you want to be super cool.
• I think it’s time for me to get back into making splash pages and teaching you guys. I go in phases where I focus on different things because they happen to motivate me at different times. Right now it’s Traffic Exchange List. I just run with it because I end up getting more done. Although Austin’s been doing most of the work there, which is a huge relief because I don’t stress as much about getting things done.
