New to the industry? Trying to figure out exactly what is being 'sold' here? Where does this Doctor Traffic guy come from? Glad you asked.... In the late 90's, it's the 'golden age' of the internet. The dot com boom is in full swing and everything online is looking great. A few online websites started popping up called Paid To Surf's. Essentially these programs paid you to view little browser windows that you would download onto your computer. Advertisers paid these companies for 'impressions' which the company turned around into payment for their members. You could earn as much as a dollar an hour using these little downloadable programs, not a lot of money, but multiply this by the number of people you referred to the paid to surf, and presto, you had yourself a nice little profit from just viewing advertisements. More and more paid to surf programs started to come online and more and more people were promoting them to try to earn referrals. Remember, the more referrals you earned, the more money you could make. These webmasters needed more places to promote their new paid to surf programs, and they needed it quick. The concept of hit exchanges was in fact taken from the banner exchange. The idea is simple, you view my banner (or website) and I'll view yours. Co-operative advertising through a hit exchange, in it's purest form, first got it's start with a program called ClickThru.com. This was the first ever hit exchange, where webmasters would view each others sites, with the ultimate goal to make a sale or earn a referral. The industry exploded and each day there seemed to be a new hit exchange being launched. In fact, this same trend has not changed much, as new programs are introduced everyday, but the major difference is the power these programs have to get your website seen. There has never been a more effective and easy way to drive traffic to your website, these reasons are why hit exchanges are so popular. Most of these programs are free to join so not only are you getting a large amount of traffic, you are getting the hits for free. However, using hit exchanges takes up a good chunk of time, and many webmasters simply do not have the time to 'click up credits'. Hit exchange owners began to offer 'hits for sale' where busy webmasters could simply buy their hits instead of surfing for them. A traffic co-op is another simple idea, a place where members buy traffic from a central location and the traffic is purchased from a variety of sources. DoctorTraffic buys it's hits directly from the hit exchanges and paid to surf programs. We buy ALOT of hits and spread them out, so members receive the best bang for their buck. If you have a website, Doctor Traffic is a must! Even if you have never heard of a hit exchange before today, you owe it to your website to give this industry a try. You will be amazed in the power of hit exchanges, and feel confident about your membership with Doctor Traffic! E-Mail - hitexchangenews@shaw.ca Phone - 306 - 374 - 4648
