Upcoming Series: How to spot a Bad Traffic Exchange
I’m going to be starting a new series on the blog about How to spot a Bad Traffic Exchange. You’ll learn all you’d ever want to know about how to spot a bad exchange before joining and how to learn if an exchange you’ve already joined has gone bad. I think it’ll be some interesting information to read.
Then later I’m going to start doing reviews of traffic exchanges myself. You’ll get to see how to spot an exchange, and then see how I spot a good or bad exchange. Then I”ll encourage you to put your input in the comments of each review also.

For the after-you-join list, please do include email hints as well. I am tired of getting messages from owners that don’t even apologize for etiquette slip ups or break their own privacy policies (sharing email addresses and using regular carbon copy).
I’ll probably have more suggestions, but I think there’s quite a handful of marketers that only accept the importance of customer impressions when it suits them. Email is just an important part of brand building as the actual web site design.

This sounds like a very informative and important series of posts, and I bet a lot of people will be interested.
I am also interested in a series on “how to run your own traffic exchange”, a series of posts about how to be the “perfect” owner of a traffic exchange. What you should do and what you shouldn’t be doing.
I am not sure if you have done a series on “really effective advertising using Traffic Exchanges” or not, if you have, please post a link - I have always been sort of struggling with splash pages and squeeze pages and the right banners and so on. It seems to me that using traffic exchanges to advertise your business is a little different than using other methods, it would be great to have some tips (I know you did a few posts about the splash pages that you tested).

Thanks for the feedback! Both are noted ;-)

I have found that TE’s are useless for most of my advertising, so I will be very interested to see this next series!

Hi Tim,
This should be pretty interesting. Seeing how at least 75% of traffic exchanges are bad exchanges this is going to be a very long series.

Yep, can’t wait to find out who the bad guys are, and what constitutes a good guy, from a bad one.
