Issue 59



The Pulse of the Hit Exchange Industry!


September 16th, 2004

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'.

I've had many discussions with people over the years about what makes a hit exchange 'good'. The one thing I have always stated is that customer support is one of the top factors I use for ranking a hit exchange. If the owner responds to my e-mails and gives me the answers I need, I think their program is doing a good job. While this is not the most scientific way to rank hit exchanges, it's something I think benefits people, knowing their time is valued by the exchange owner.

I want to ask YOU, the reader, which exchanges do you think offer the absolute BEST SUPPORT. Who answers your e-mails the quickest? Who answers your support requests with the most attention to detail? Which program owner seems to go out of his / her way to help YOU?

Cast your vote and let the industry know what you think!

VOTE HERE!

We'll go over the results next week and find out which exchange really does offer the best support of all the hit exchanges. Should be interesting...

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

Jon =)

The News

  • Wow, what a successful launch Gone Clicking had this past week. I was pleasantly surprised because I've been known to be skeptical of pro-only exchanges. Gone Clicking has done a great job of putting the HIT in pro only hit exchange. Kind of reminds me of when 123Clicks was delivering hundreds of hits a day, forget the pro aspect of it, this is a very good hit exchange.

  • Is it me or is the new 'hype' online seem to be these money doubling programs? Well it has spread to the exchanges, as Hitz Up recently launched their version of the money doubler, called Profitz Up. Not sure how long this new kind of program will last, but they seem to be VERY popular.

  • Thinking of starting a new hit exchange? Don't use anything owned by LucasFilms. Star Wars Traffic Exchange was contacted by lawyers of Lucas Films this past week and demanded that the site be taken down. Safe to say, the owners obliged and there will be no more Star Wars Traffic Exchange.



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!

Deep Thoughts - The Downline Club Review


Please forgive me, I enjoy giving people 'lists' of programs that I recommend. Last week it was which exchanges are a good bet to buy traffic from, this week it's the review of which downline clubs are best suited to you, the hit exchange surfer.

  • Profit Rally - Wow, where did this thing come from? If you have not yet checked this program out, give it a good look. This could be the perfect downline builder for not only the hit exchange user, but for anyone looking for quality promotion tools and an affordable upgrade option. Profit Rally has it all, from the best hit exchanges, to it's own rotator script, text rotator script, tracking link service, customizable promotional pages and so much more. I mentioned this a few weeks ago, and I think a lot of people could agree, this is an exciting program to be a part of!

  • MPAM - The grand daddy of downline clubs. This program has been around as long as Build Referrals (remember them?) and still has a very active membership. While the focus of MPAM has switched from traffic generation to income generation, MPAM remains one of the more stable downline clubs around. They have a very tight knit group of people that work with the program and many dedicated members. A problem is that many of their programs are dated and not the best programs to surf, but they do replace the faulty exchanges as soon as possible.

  • Traffic Hoopla - Traffic Hoopla is an interesting program. While it does serve as a very good downline builder, one could argue this is in fact more of a report card for hit exchanges. This program adds and deletes hit exchanges very frequently as they base which programs remain in their system by their Hit Exchange Report, a weekly testing of all the exchanges online. The Top 50 remain in Hoopla, while some make it to their blacklist. An interesting program and a good indicator for traffic flow of each exchange in their Top 50.

  • Traffic Tornado - This is a downline club built for surfers, by a surfer. Traffic Tornado is a great resource for those that want to build downlines in hit exchanges...And that's it. The power of this program is in it's simplicity. No funky downlines, no forced matrices, no confusing payment plans, just a place to build your downlines in top performing exchanges. This is a very straight forward program, and a good beginning for newer people into the industry.

  • My LSN Club - Another oldie but goodie. My LSN Club is one of the best performing downline club's online. Why? Simple, the way they embrace two VERY important things, building a mailing list and the use of doorway pages. This program is a great step by step program as well, very easy to understand and has some great training in it. The exchanges in the program are very good and the support is great as well!

The following are just some of the very good downline clubs online. I focused on these because of their attention to the exchanges. Many downline clubs seem to be focused on either individual programs or some kind of money making plan. These programs are great to build your downline in hit exchanges. Have a look at each, and while I still recommend the best way to refer people is by the use of doorway pages, the downline club still is a GREAT homebase!




The Doctor's Office - Co-op News

This week's news for Doctor Traffic;

  • The co-op is having some work done. I am testing out a new back end management script that would allow members to log into their member account for the co-op, not just the affiliate program. Nothing is in stone yet, but if this works out, members will be allowed to submit URLs as they wish and get the sites they want to be promoted, changed. I will still be manually checking each site, but it would save members an e-mail.

  • Hits may have been lower than usually the past few days. I've been having some troubles with my tracking programs, but everything is back to normal. If you are having troubles or have concerns about traffic delivery, please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • Doctor Traffic affiliates are making REAL MONEY! Wow, what a great feeling it was to pay out the most recent commission requests. One was for $40 and the other was for just under $30. Thank you to all the Doctor Traffic affiliates for their continued support and promotion of the co-op. I hope you all earn a nice monthly commission check from the program.

Doctor Traffic is the internet's leading traffic co-op. Serving members for over a year and delivering well over 2 million hits, Doctor Traffic has become one of the more valuable traffic services online.



Program Review - 10K Hits 4 U Now

I'm not sure if this program is running on an old Harland Script but it sure looks like it. For those that are unfamiliar with a Harland Script or have never heard of it, well, let's just say that should explain a lot. It's not one of the more popular commercial scripts around because it never had any successful program use it.

10K Hits seems to have broken the mold as the program seems using the script. So what about traffic flow? Well it delivers the hits. Yup, this program does a pretty decent job of delivering traffic and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.

It's a short 10 second timer and some of the color combinations are questionable but all in all, this program is decent. Add some graphics, and this program could become pretty popular. Add a redesign and a new script???

% Unique Traffic: 59
Results: 3.0 out of 5.0
Traffic Flow (Speed of Delivery): Average
Site Design: 2.0 out of 5.0
Customer Service: 3.5 out of 5.0
Ease of Use: 2.5 out of 5.0

Overall Rating: 3.0 Mouse Clicks (Rating out of 5.0)

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

  • Corey Rudl invited me to his wedding...As well as millions of others lucky enough to be on his mailing list? Hmmmm.....

  • More guru news? Why does everyone now say it's ABSOLUTELY FREE, but then ask you for a security deposit of 97 bucks? Hmmmm.....

  • Traffic Run seems to be back online, but Clicks4U is gone? Hmmmm......

New Exchange of the Week - Surf 4 The Earth

I applaud hit exchanges that seem to be trying to do much more than just deliver traffic. Are you a member of Hits 4 Hits? It used to be called Aid For Teens Hits 4 Hits and delivered a portion of their income to help street kids around the world.

Surf 4 The Earth is a new exchange that wants to give back to the community. Members can surf this program and with the money they earn, can be donated to a local charity. This month the charity is the American Red Cross (which needs a lot of help because of the recent and present situations with hurricanes in the southern U.S.)

There's something about these kind of programs that just makes you feel good. The traffic is fine, but what I really get from this is knowing every little bit I can do helps in some small way.
