I think if we narrow the top traffic exchange to recommend as a whole, the results will be even better instead of getting sales here and there and inactive subscribers from hundreds of traffic exchange. Traffic Splash is growing worse than a blackberry bush, so keep sending people over there or Traffic Roundup or AKH or ILH or Startxchange. To me numbers are irrelevant, it's how its manage and the quality of results I'm getting.

A very few TEs' owners have in view this kind of loyalty. Most of them give big bonuses for a short term or for the new members. But i wonder how the old loyal real active members are rewarded. Only they can be counted as active member, and not those who are come and go, or those who surf a lot saying a week/a month and then disappear. Tony Tezak is just one of this kind of loyal surfer, very well known by us, and if you have a look on his stats he's not on top in any TE (maybe i'm wrong), but as a loyal surfer i think he's between the best of the best surfers. Ok, i have to rcognize i'm not yet so old in any TE, but i know some surfers who surf regularly since 3-5 years, or even more. They are my good examples, and i think the owners have to consider them as active.

Somehow those members have found the site and usually it is trhu promotion. And although the owner is hopefully doing promotion, others are aswell. I love Logiscapes TE's and prefer them above all else. I am getting okay conversion rates thru them and that is also why I'm usually promotion only them on other exchanges unless I have some time relevant campaign. And the bigger the TE the bigger the number of people surfing even if it is only 3-5% surfing. I think number of members joined is a valid number.

This way you know others are looking at advertising. If an exchange has many thousands of members and only a small percentage actually surf then what are the rest doing. Are they all paid up members with no need to surf on a regular basis? I think not. One thing which all exchanges should do is tell you how many people are surfing at the same time.

It's higher at SWAT Traffic for me, it's closer to 15% there but has been much easier to manage because it's only a few years old....ILH, 7 years old LOL Between 5-10% I would estimate is the average.

Tracking is crucial because someone might get great results at Traffic Splash but poor results at StartXchange or vice versa. There is no science too it LOL I've been trying to figure it out for years. You have to use which programs are performing best for your business. It's just some people get better results at different programs. I'll tell you this though, you are in great hands with Traffic Splash, StartXchange and ILH. All three of us are very dedicated to getting members the best possible results. Gary - very good point.
