Traffic Exchange Scoop

Well yet another traffic exchange has opened today, BootScootinTraffic ! It is owned by Sunny Suggs, a brand new traffic exchange owner. While she may be new, she has listened to advice and received a lot of help from the best people in traffic exchanges, so I expect this to be an exchange that is run well.

Dan Moses was also behind the scenes to help with the launch, who also helped launched GladiatorHits and TrafficDynamite, which went on to have huge launches.

In less than a day, BootScootinTraffic has already exploded to over 1,000 members! In fact, I just joined now as member 1204 and it hasn’t even been 24 hours. From what I hear, traffic is flowing fast with the launch excitement, so you’d be doing yourself a favor to assign some credits right now.

I’d consider BootScootinTraffic to be your standard traffic exchange, but big plus I see here is ownership. When you have someone who is getting help from some of the best traffic exchange owners and actually listening to their advice, you can expect good things to come from that.

I’d recommend you hurry and join right now, because they are giving away $0.50 – $1 per referral until they reach 1,500 members!

Recently StartXchange has updated their surfbar with a completely brand new look! While I’ll miss the old one, I absolutely love the new additions to the surfbar.

First, the overall look has been changed to match the design of the website, which was changed fairly recently as well.

However what truly stands out is that the StartXchange surfbar now accomplishes two new things:

1. It brands the advertiser
2. It promotes the "just one more" attitude

How does it do all that you ask?

Now when you surf each page, the surfbar will also display a picture of the person advertising their webpage (or blank image if the user hasn’t added a photo). So if your website is rotating constantly, your picture will also be seen regularly by surfers, giving members stronger branding power. One of the concepts that many traffic exchange owners recommend is branding your name and image, and I can say from personal experience that it is the reason people know who I am today.

The new StartXchange surfbar also makes it hard to stop surfing for those of us who are a little competitive! StartXchange has surfing levels and rankings based on activity. Now every time you surf, you also see the next member who is ranked higher than you are, and how many pages you need to surf to pass them!

I realize this can be a bit hard to understand, so you’ll just have to log in and surf StartXchange to see what I’m talking about.

This is a continuation from a complete series. Please be sure to read the earlier sections if you haven’t already!

4) Leverage Your Efforts

Leverage is such a simple way to build your business fast, but most people don’t use it. The way I see leverage, it is all about maximizing your efforts. Let’s use traffic exchanges as an example.

Let’s say you earn 100 credits to show your affiliate link 100 times and you make 1 sale. Great job! But… if you want to make another sale, you have to keep surfing to find another customer. What happened to the first buyer? Did you just let them go after they buy? If you stopped surfing today, you also stop making money.

Now let’s pretend that instead, you use your 100 credits and build your subscriber list. You get 1 subscriber, and sell that person a product. But guess what, now you still have that customer! You can contact them again later whether they bought your product or not! You can build a relationship and sell to the same person several times instead of just once. Now every time you surf, you are increasing your customer base and adding more value to your business every day!

This is an example of what leveraging your efforts means to me. One effort should be helping you create multiple chances to make money. Rather than looking for the quick buck, plan ahead (does that planning thing sound familiar? ) and think about how you can maximize your efforts and increase your long term profits!

The top things that come to mind for me are building your list, upselling more products, branding, and creating things that go viral. However building your list should be number 1, because it can help you do all of those other things any time you want. If you want to build your list, I highly recommend aweber , which is widely considered the best autoresponder for Internet Marketers.

If you want to see your business succeed, start thinking about how your efforts can give you more opportunities to make money!

Well I hope you’ve enjoyed this short series. I didn’t just make these things up from thin air. These are literally some of the cornerstones I have used to help turn my business around overnight!

What if you could offer free upgrades to your downlines at traffic exchanges? Well now you can at one: Swat Traffic !

A new feature has just been added for Captain members at Swat Traffic , which is their highest membership level. It allows you to give up to 3 free upgrades to your downline each month! They will be upgraded for 1 month to the Captain level and have 7 days to claim their upgrade from the day you invite them.

If they decide to keep their upgrade, they will get a special discount as well!

On top of that, we also now earn commissions at Swat Traffic . I actually don’t know the commission rates (I couldn’t find them on the website), but take a look at the NetMarketingForum , as I’m sure an answer will be posted there soon.

This should allow you to promote more activity within your downline and start earning commissions if they like the upgrade.

Most importantly, you can now encourage your downlines to attend the weekly Swat Traffic seminars, where you can learn directly from successful Internet Marketers every week!

Well I’ve just launched another website designed to help you get traffic. It is a text ad exchange, which uniquely combines the power of traffic exchanges and safelists into one powerful system! And of course, it’s free to join.

We have some very special launch offers that will only be available during our early stages. So make sure you join early if you want to take advantage of it. I’ve had many people tell me they wish they upgraded at EliteSafelist after it exploded into a top ranked safelist, so now is your chance for another great website with a lot of potential.

I’m not going to go too deep into it here, but please do me a favor and click the link below to join now:

I rave and rave about a handful of traffic exchanges because… well they have consistently delivered great results for a long time. Well some of the best, have just gotten a whole lot better. Five big name traffic exchanges have teamed up and created the ultimate surfing bonus. The five exchanges are:

• Traffic-Splash
  
• ILoveHits
• AdvertisingKnowhow
• Magnify Traffic
• Dragon Surf

Oh wait, I never told you what they did, did I?

Well these five exchanges have collaborated to create the Super Surfer Script! If you surf all five of these traffic exchanges at once (You must surf all of them), then you will get a surfing ratio bonus at all five traffic exchanges! This is also on top of the usual bonuses you receive at each respective traffic exchange.

These are already considered some of the top traffic exchanges in the industry, but it will be exciting to see how much more activity there will be with this new feature implemented.

Wow it sure has been an exciting day so far for traffic exchange fans like myself.

Today AdvertisingKnowHow has just unveiled a few new features that I think are fantastic.

First, they’ve implemented a new surfbar with a hot new design. But what’s really got me excited is that now the person’s website, name, and picture is displayed! Within the surfbar it will display the users name and picture (if they’ve entered one). This allows you to brand youself with ease. I think this is a fantastic feature that will help a lot of people.

Next, AdvertisingKnowHow has integrated twitter into their system! Twitter is basically a micro-blog, which you can even see on the side bar here at TEscoop. By entering in your twitter account information at AdvertisingKnowHow , each day that you go to surf there, a message will automatically be posted to your Twitter account saying you are surfing at AdvertisingKnowHow with your affiliate link! This is another great change, as it helps you advertise and get referrals without having to do any extra work.

And finally, AdvertisingKnowHow has teamed up with 4 other traffic exchanges and created the Super Surfer Script! What is that? I’m actually going to write about it in a separate post, because this is huge for traffic exchange users.

Like ice cream? If so, this might be the promotion for you. Clicks 4 Education and Surf 4 the Earth are running a new promotion, 31 Flavors of August .

Here’s the info straight from one of the owners, Suzette Hopkins:

"As a way to reward all of our active members we will be giving away $4 gift certificates for Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. The gift certificates can be used at a Ben & Jerrys store or your local grocery store. The gift certificates are in U.S. currency, so they can only be used in the United States. In order to qualify you must surf at least 100 sites for 23 days in August at both Surf4theEarth and Clicks4Education. After you surf 100 sites at either site, a page will come up with an ice cream flavor. Use the contact form to send us the flavor of the day. You need to send in 23 flavors at each exchange during the month of August. "

It should be noted that those who are not living in the United States will win an equavalent valued prize, since the gift certificates are in U.S. Currency.

This is a continuation from a complete series. Please be sure to read the earlier sections if you haven’t already!

3) Create Value

A huge mistake I see is that people try to sell their product, but never create enough value to make people want to buy. I don’t know where it comes from, but I love the concept of "Underpromise and overdeliver." Create value for your customers. They should feel like they are getting a great deal, because that is what will make them buy. Offer superior products, customer service, or whatever it is you think you can offer. But go out of your way to create value and make people say wow.

As an example, just recently I was looking at a PLR product for sale from a very reputable writer. I looked at the description and it sounded like a solid product I can sell. Then the guy says on top of that, he’ll thrown in 2 more PLR E-books he’s written before. I thought well that was nice. But then he tells me he’s also including 4 ready-made squeeze pages to help capture leads. I really liked that. AND then also a rebrandable video where I can add my name and website. And a salespage. And a complete autoresponder series!

So what I started with was a basic PLR product, and what I ended up leaving with was a complete mini-business in a box. By the time I was finished reading, I couldn’t have opened my wallet faster. Why? It’s because he created value.

You don’t necessarily have to go this far, but find a way to create a real value to your customers, and they will be happy to spend their money with you. You see it all the time from every prominent website. You’ll join for their free membership which sounds fantastic. Then you’ll get a one time offer that completely blows your mind! Even if you can’t afford it, it sounds so good that you buy it anyway! Why? They created so much value for your money, you are almost forced to buy it because it would be dumb not to!

When was the last time you made your customers say wow?

Well a brand new traffic exchange opened its doors earlier today:

Promo Lotto!

This is definitely a unique traffic exchange that stands out from the crowd. I’ve taken the time to explore Promo Lotto so you can decide whether it sounds like a traffic exchange you’ll want to join.

It is owned by Ed Tyner and Ryan Hogan, who respectively own Road Runner Surf and Traffic Punk . That starts off with a huge plus, because we are already dealing with experienced traffic exchange owners. But what makes Promo Lotto special?

To me, the most significant change is the way you surf for credits. Rather than earning credits per page surfed, you have lotto numbers that you try to match up as you surf. Depending on the number of numbers you match, you’ll win a certain amount of credits. If you match zero numbers, you win nothing. Overall, you’ll find the credit ratios to be roughly equivalent to any other successful TE.

Another thing that stands out is the unique design and layout of Promo Lotto . It is very different from other traffic exchanges, giving it more of a professional feel similar to Logiscape traffic exchanges.

Some of the other features are:

• Customizable Surf Bar (Background of the surfbar can be changed to your liking)
• Messaging System
• Team Surfing
• Chat Function
• A List building Feature

My only concern is that I wish there were a more detailed tutorial, particularly explaining how you win credits, the potential credits you can win, and how to customize the surf bar. This would help people who are newer to traffic exchanges understand how the entire system works. It took me a bit to figure out what I was doing, and I have a fair amount of experience with traffic exchanges.

In the end, I’m very happy with what Promo Lotto offers. If you’re looking for a unique traffic exchange experience (or maybe love to play the lotto ), you will find Promo Lotto a fun place to surf!
