The Pulse of the Hit Exchange Industry!


October 21st, 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'.

Well, I guess I should start this one off for all you sport fans out there. Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first ever major league baseball team to return from being down in a series 0-3 and then winning the next 4 games. This is a pretty big achievement for this team, and I guess you could tie this in to your online business...Never give up and keep plugging away!

Wow, what a week it's been. Hit Exchange Survival Kit's beta testing has been going GREAT, as some users have even noticed 'double the referrals' in the program they are promoting through my new little 'project'. That is exciting news, and shows me that H.E.S.K. is going to be VERY popular but most of all effective when it officially goes online in a few weeks. Stay tuned for that.

I launched a new Hit Exchange 101 program as well late last night, and I must say this program has a great design and another dedicated hit exchange owner ready to tackle the industry. Check out the new exchange of the week for more info.

So I'm pretty excited! Winter is coming, so people are staying in doors around my part of the planet. This means people are clicking a lot more than a few months ago. It's a great time to promote your program and a wonderful time to be a hit exchange surfer. Keep on clicking and continued success with all your online endeavors!

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

Jon =)

  • The News

    • Thanks to Mr. Gary Buckley from Manual Traffic Surf. I am the proud owner of Hit Exchange News' first offline promotional products. Gary sent me some GREAT custom made promotional items and I had to show everyone these things, check this picture out of the prodcuts. This is a great idea for anyone thinking about taking their hit exchange promotions offline, drop Gary a line, he'd love to hear from you. Thanks Gary!

    • Wow, what a difference a day makes! Click Ranch was recently re-released with a brand new TCN script and a small facelift. In the span of 24 hours, this program has done a complete 180 degree turnaround. Very good numbers, in such a short amount of time. The real test is 2 weeks down the road, let's see if the Ranch can maintain it's current pace.

    • Traffic Ranker is back! The popular 'people's choice' hit exchange ranking system is back online with some very impressive new features. A major bonus to being a member of this program is your chance to purchase the brand new TXL Report for dirt cheap. This new ranking report is brought to you by the owner of StartXchange.com and has a bright future ahead, it's LOADED with interesting information. Welcome back Traffic Ranker!

    • Lots More Hits is continuing to improve their service every week. They released a new way to 'use' extra credits in their system by offering members the choice to e-mail solo ad's to the database. I don't mind receiving the odd solo ad from a program, as long as it's useful information. As well, you can now e-mail your first level referrals once every 7 days. Who needs a list builder, just join LMH...



    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!

    Deep Thoughts - Reading in fundamental!


    If I am wrong here, please forgive me, but I think it's time this gets out in the open. Here's the question, is it me, or do people NOT read websites anymore? I mean, when you join a new program, do you read the contents of the front page? Do you understand what you are joining? If you are spending money, is it clear on what you are receiving?

    I had quite an interesting e-mail the other day from a new customer at Doctor Traffic. The first email was titled "I hope this is legit!", the next was "You mislead me, this is supposed to be a banner exchange"....Please, if you are reading this, click on the link for Doctor Traffic, and tell me if ANYWHERE on the site that I mention it is a banner exchange. This person PAID me, and thought that he or she was joining a banner exchange? I don't even think I have the word banner in Doctor Traffic?

    Folks, read before you click...Read before you join...And above all else, read before you pay someone. I mean, I saw that the person paid for something they did not want, so I refunded them immediately, but imagine all the scam artists out there that would take that money and run? I can almost understand now why all these get rich quick schemes and 'guaranteed profits in a week' programs keep popping up, there's people that are not reading what they are getting themselves into.

    Check out the sites, if they have testimonials, why not try to get a hold of the person giving the testimonial and get their feedback? Do a search in Google to see if the owner has had any 'problems online' in the past. Make sure you understand what you are getting yourself (and your business) into. I know hit exchanges have become more of a visual medium in recent months, and that's fine, but if a program has a lengthy ad copy...Read it all!

    Program Review - Fat Wallet Surf

    Is it the time for the pro only hit exchange to flourish? I have discussed this in the past and while some pro only programs have been a great success in people's pocket books, the big reason I think most pro only exchanges loose people's interest quickly is because they do not deliver the hits.

    There's been a few newer pro only exchanges that have seemed to turn this around, and Fat Wallet Surf is one of those programs leading the charge. The concept is simple, every single person that joins this program has paid to be a member. The argument has been that this means the people surfing this program are more likely to 'pay you' than a free program. I'm not sold on that idea, but before we worry about the quality of the viewers let's talk about the traffic?

    Fat Wallet Surf delivers a lot of hits! This program is more active than most free exchanges and delivers more traffic as well as a higher unique percentage than some of it's 'free' cousins. What a treat it is to see this thing pump out hit after hit, sometimes you can even surf for a half an hour and never bank traffic, it's almost like the TS 25 of pro only hit exchanges...O.k., it's not THAT active! *lol*

    Fat Wallet Surf is a wonderful addition to the pro only exchange family. This program along with others like Gone Clicking have shown the industry that these programs can earn you some good coin for promoting them, but can even deliver more hits that once thought possible. Is it time yet? This looks to be a positive sign!

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

    • MyGPT.com recently launched and has taken the PTC world by storm...If only hit exchanges were as active as PTC's... Hmmmm.....

    • Profit Sharing Hits has become Profit Sharing Club? Oh joy and happiness! Hmmmm.....

    • Looks like ListDotCom is jumping on the splash page bandwagon...Too bad they named No More Hits as a 'must use' hit exchange instead of ohhhhh....Take your pick! Hmmmm......

    New Exchange of the Week - UtByte

Based on the LJ Script, UtByte has got all the features you have come to expect and rely on for your hit exchange advertising.
