The Pulse of the Hit Exchange Industry!

One To Click On by Jon

Welcome to the newest issue of the Hit Exchange News and this week's 'One To Click On by Jon'.

So here I am, talking about exchanges each week, reviewing them, and dissecting them. Some people must be asking themselves, 'Wow, this guy talks a lot of exchanges, I wonder if he's ever owned one himself?'

I'm now the proud sole owner of ILoveHits.com. The site has been re-designed, it's got a brand new script, a brand new look, and a new way of 'delivering traffic'.

I'm thrilled to announce that the re-launch has been GREAT! This exchange hasn't lost a beat, and continues to be very active. The members of I Love Hits have been very supportive and patient with me as I has moved the old database into it's new home. I wanted to thank them in H.E.N. for the continued support.

So here it is, it's official. The guy who has been judging these programs can now be judged for his own efforts in ownership. Please, if you are a member, let me know what you think of the new site. I value your input with I Love Hits, as I do with this e-zine and all my programs. Enjoy the new site, and watch out for "HEN"ry the Hitman, I heard he's dangerous with a mouse....

Thank you so much for being a subscriber and I hope you enjoy this issue!

Jon =)

The News

  • A newer hit exchange called 4 Quality Traffic has been taking an 'interesting' stance on what site are allowed to be promoted in their exchange. They have banned 'scams', auto hit exchanges and other types of popular online programs. A very interesting stance, time will tell how well it's accepted.

  • With more and more hit exchanges being brought online, it's no wonder there are more downline building clubs on the market as well. While it's tough to find one that addresses both the need for traffic and the need for income generation, a new builder called Profit Rally has stepped up to bat. Armed with an impressive list of exchanges, very nice site design, an active membership and a great support staff, Profit Rally is one downline club to watch out for!

  • Remember that concept of pro-only exchanges that a few of us thought would be a huge success? Well it looks like one of the founders of the 'pro only' concept is getting ready to launch another exchange. Be on the look out for a brand new pro only hit exchange to be launched this week by Dan Moses and Mike Engle. I have a feeling this one will be something very 'different'...

  • A lot of people have been asking me about some of the better hit exchanges to purchase traffic from or upgrade an account in. Next week I will do a full length feature on which programs I think you should concentrate on, but if you want to know right now, here's a few tips. The Top 10 List in HEN, is a great start. Also, check out Traffic Hoopla and Quality Click Zone. Compare these three services and if you seem to find exchange appearing in all three, these are some very good bets. However, I will be doing a full length feature in next weeks' Deep Thoughts section. Stay tuned!



Top 10 List

This week's results are based on traffic statistics (unique hits, page views, hits remaining, hits delivered) and if the exchange delivered results (sign ups). The industry changes just like in the real world, so an exchange may not be on the list this week, but will be number 1 next week! Discuss this week's Top 10 list in the Net Marketing Forum!

Enjoy this week's list!

  1. TS 25
  2. Cash Clicking

Deep Thoughts - The Art of Support


I wanted to share a great e-mail I received this week. It's from a member of a hit exchange that was absolutely thrilled with the support they received when they e-mailed the owner. This is the e-mail I received, in it's complete form, not edited.

Hi Jon,

I had an interesting experience with Hit Safari recently and it highlighted quality customer service.

I had been surfing on Hit Safari but missed a few "Congratulations - you have won some bonus credits" pages. So my account was temporarily suspended and I was asked for an explanation.

I told the administrator in my response that when I see "congratulations" I tune out - you see so many "congratulations - you have won a free report...you are the 50,000 visitor...you have won an ebook, etc" In consequence, I missed clicking the verification page.

The administrator's response was:

"I've re-set your account. I appreciate your taking time to respond and I think you probably have a point. I'm also used to getting that as well, as the stop sign is on so many sites and is also used as a verification page. I'll change that in the next day or two at the most. Thanks again...

Paula support@hitsafari.com"

True to her word, Paula changed the "verification page" from "Congratulations" to the new little jumbo elephant (which you cannot miss!). And she did so within 12 hours!

Now that's service and respect for the views and experiences of the surfer!!

Cheers

Something to think about the next time you want to spend hours surfing a hit exchange, does the owner care about your opinions, and value your time online?




Program Review - All Fresh Clicks

Before the PHP Lite script, way before the TCN script, even before the LJ Script, there was the A Script. One of the most popular commercial hit exchange scripts to ever come across the internet. Some very popular exchanges were built on this script, however only a few remain.

The ones that do remain though, are very solid programs, take for example All Fresh Clicks. This program has been online for quite some time now and does what many exchanges did back in the golden age of hit exchanges, deliver the hits.

Traffic flow of AFC is very smooth. You can get quite a few hits by surfing a hundred times or so, which seems to be a rare occurrence these days online. The one thing that seems to hold this program down though is it's banner ad's within the surf bar and on it's front page. They seem to pop up a website that absolutely drags your browser to a slow crawl and have to be clicked quickly to shut them down.

This is a problem and does effect the overall experience for the user. However, AFC does what it says it will do, and that is deliver the traffic!

% Unique Traffic: 53
Results: 3.0 out of 5.0
Traffic Flow (Speed of Delivery): Very Fast
Site Design: 3.0 out of 5.0
Customer Service: 4.0 out of 5.0
Ease of Use: 3.5 out of 5.0

Overall Rating: 3.5 Mouse Clicks (Rating out of 5.0)

Things That Make You Go...Hmmm? (A 'Different' Look at the Industry!)

  • Just wanted to let everyone know, all those rumors about Pay Pal being hard to contact or that they never respond to e-mails, does not make sense to me at all. I had a problem with some merchant tools they offerred, I sent in my support request, it was answered in about 20 hours. Instead of PayPalsucks.com, I think I'm going to create a site PayPalRules.com! Hmmmm.....

  • I received $0 to me INTgold account from some online casino. Great promotion idea, or just plain rude? Hmmmm.....

  • Mike Chen released a new program this week, I wonder what happened to Free Agent Path? Hmmmm......

  • Good luck to the new owners of TaeKwonDo Clicks, this is the third owner in 3 weeks. hopefully things smooth out for this program now =) Hmmm......

New Exchange of the Week - Space Clicks

Here's a new program, with a different theme but similar style. It's called Space Clicks and it's owned by the same people who brought you Haunted Clicks and HillBillihits. The site is on the familiar LJ Script, so it has a very easy to use members area and has a lot of features for members to use.

This is a brand new program, so if it does get promoted a lot and people take a liking to it, it has the 'look' to do VERY well. I'll be monitoring this program closely over the next few weeks, and let everyone know how it performs =)

Have a look at Space Clicks here!
