Traffic Exchange Scoop

Well today I have some very exciting news, one of the older and more established traffic exchanges has relaunched! It is SWAT Traffic , one of the TE’s owned by Jon Olson!

So what’s going on with the relaunch of SWAT?

• Fantastic New Design
• The next 500 members get $5 FREE into their accounts
• For the next 24 hours, each referral is worth $1

There’s also a contest for whoever comes up with the best name for his mascot! I’m not sure on the prize details for that yet, but I’m sure it will be announced soon.

But I have to say this may be one of the BEST relaunch deals in history, because it is coming from an established traffic exchange that already produces results. On top of that, you are also getting an incentive to join and refer people to a quality program.

When you join, make sure to consider taking the special one time offer. I’m a captain member at SWAT Traffic not just for the traffic, but also because I get exclusive access to the SWAT Traffic Seminars, which has helped me immensely in doing business online. I talk a lot about that in my E-book Zero to Internet Marketing Hero .

So anyway… that is some very exciting news for the traffic exchange world. If for some reason you’ve never joined SWAT Traffic before, now is the time to do it!

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!

Steve Ayling’s website, What is a Traffic Exchange will be closing its doors as a downline builder. That means it will still be online, but will no longer function as a downline builder.

Soaring4Traffic is celebrating it’s 1st birthday! Check out their blog and see all of the details. Great prizes are being given away, including upgrades, credits, and cash!

Jon Olson’s Hit Exchange News has experienced a hard drive failure, which has resulted in the loss of data for Hit Exchange News, Hit Exchange Blog, and Doctor Traffic. Work is being done to see if the information can be recovered, but at this point we will just have to wait.

In the mean time, Jon Olson has made several announcements:

• The Hit Exchange Blog will no longer exist and will instead be consolidated into the Hit Exchange News.
• The future of Hit Exchange 101 is still being decided. It might get a complete overhaul or simply go offline.
• The Traffic Exchange Guy Consulting service will not be accepting new clients. It will be eventually come back even better than ever.

It’s terrible to see such a huge loss, but hope is not lost and hopefully others can learn from this experience. It’s more than just "back up your data". This is a lesson of working hard in the face of adversity, looking for the positives and solutions in a terrible situation, and the value of relationships.

The outpouring of support for Jon Olson has been tremendous because of all of the relationships he’s built and the people he has helped over the years. Among those people he’s helped is me as well. A business can fail and be rebuilt over again. However true relationships will be there for you when you need support the most. I hope you are all investing the time to build relationships and friendships with new people, it’s hard to succeed in business without it. And most importantly your friendships will be there even if your business vanishes one day.

Please take the time to wish Jon the best and be sure to learn the valuable lessons that this situation can teach us.

Savvy Clicks has finally brought back the memory game, which had some problems before. Now its carousel sponsors also get a place on the memory board for even more branding! This will add some great value to sponsors’ advertising and gives members the chance to win some extra credits as well!

Just as Mayhem ends, Traffic-Splash has reached its 24,000th member! To celebrate, if you surf today you get a chance at winning a $24 cash prize! The amount of winners will be determined by how many members surf today. Here is how you can win entries for the cash prize:

• Surf 15 Pages Get 1 Ticket
• Surf 30 Pages Get 2 Tickets
• Surf 100 Pages Get 7 Tickets
• Surf 250 Pages Get 20 Tickets
• Surf 500 Pages Get 45 Tickets
• Surf 750 Pages Get 75 Tickets

Gone Clicking has undergone yet another change. Mark Brown now owns half of Gone Clicking. It’s an interesting change since the traffic exchange relaunched recently from a paid only program to a free one.

Huh? Well Steve Ayling and DeeDee Medcoff (also infamously known as Deeds) has teamed up to be co-owners of Raining Traffic! Medcoff is known for being the support person at several notable traffic exchanges, so it seems like a natural move up with her experience and current positions.

It will be exciting to see what changes and growth we will see at Raining Traffic with Deeds helping run the show as well. A big congratulations to DeeDee Medcoff!

Gladiator Hits has exploded onto the scene with 1,500 members in only 46 hours! Not one to slow down, owner Dan Davis will try to keep the momentum going by running a 48 hour referral contest! The prizes will be as follows:

• 1st - $100
• 2nd - $50
• 3rd - $25
• 4th-10th - $5

That’s not all. With the huge growth of the site, the surf ratios have been increased for all membership levels. Also, bonuses have been increased to 7 credits for every 17 pages surfed. This was done because more websites needed to be put into rotation.

Finally, for the next 48 hours all credit package purchases will be doubled.

Gladiator Hits has really taken the traffic exchange world by storm. It will be important to see how well activity holds up with this TE as the excitement begins to slow.
