Drop It and Forget It

Posted on June 2, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

Today I have been going thru my sites and cleaning and it’s amazing how it seems that so many members (me included sometimes) just put a link, banner etc in a site and do what I call drop it and forget it.

It was amazing how many banners that I deleted today because the image was not showing and it’s not all your fault as if you are like me you jump in and jump out of sites and see if you need to add credits, banner and text impressions.

Well don’t waste you credits, banner and text impressions on nothing being there – so many times the site might change things – delete splash pages and add new ones and all of a sudden your favorite one is not being seen and unless you checking on them once in awhile – in your mind you might blame the site when it’s not the site’s fault.

Grant you, it’s gotten better over the years and there are scripts that will kick out a bad URL and thank to some members they will report them so that site owner can take them out of rotation. But let me ask you – how many of you are so busy to get to the next site that you don’t take the time to hit that report button? hmmmmmmm

Well I use to do that when I first started because the word report was like I’m telling on someone and didn’t want to cause problems. BUT you are actually helping a fellow member and the site owner and that is a good thing. So the next time you see a page that it says that the site is not available, can’t find site, etc – take a few seconds to hit that report button.

Now I know you are thinking I don’t have time to do that as some sites don’t seem to care what is showing and why should I help them out. Well there are a couple reasons that I report them – as that is less competition and my site will come up faster in rotation getting the bad sites out.

The other reason is I’m from the old school and if that was my site – I would WANT someone to report it for me so I can make the change. So I try to do what I would want someone to do for me.

So the next time you are in adding credits, banner and text impressions and have not viewed your sites, banner and text ads – take a few minutes and view them – don’t be one of those members that just goes from site to site and drop it and forget it.

Don’t feel bad either and where I see this the most is in the mailers, text ad sites and even paid to click sites – and that is even worse as the site owner is paying someone to view your site, banner, text and it’s messed up – that does not set an example that I want others to see – how about you?

Getting back to the basics

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

Starting on the internet years ago and discovering traffic exchanges – this was all new to me and like a different language. So I thought I would do a post of some of the highlights that I see people struggling with in getting back to the basics.

The first new word I learned was Gravatar and I still see people struggling with how to get one, what they are so let me explain. Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog.

Now I know lot of you would like to use the rotator or the personal splash pages but not sure how to get your picture to show up. Well you go to Gravatar.com and sign up with your email account and then upload your picture. Every time that you use that email addy when you sign up at a site your picture will follow you – it’s that simple and easy.

On the site for the personal splash pages, you simply go to personal splash page and type in you name and then upload your picture, add a banner link and image if you want, and also a testimonial about the site – click save. Then you can go to the bottom of that page and view the pages that are there to see what it looks like and then use those links to help brand yourself.

The other thing when I started was banners – wow they were so confusing for me – so will try and give you examples to hopefully make it easier. On most sites the standard banner size is 468×60 and unless stated is what you should be adding.

This is a 468×60 and can be found by clicking on the tab Affiliate Toolbox

Now to add this to other site you will go to that page and look for the image URL and then your referral URL and this is what they will look like – AND make sure you add them in the right place otherwise they will not show – you will get that dreaded square with x
Image URL http://zaneyclicks.com/getimg.php?id=2
Your Referral URL http://zaneyclicks.com/?rid=57962 (this would be the main page)

Now I know it can be confusing when you get to the Affiliate Toolbox as you see alot of splash page URL and you are going which one do I use – well for all of you that can’t decide like me – well you can use the link under splash rotator. What this does is on other sites when your link comes up to be shown – all the splash pages will randomly show each time – pretty cool huh? http://zaneyclicks.com/splash_rotator.php?rid=57962

One more thing before ending here, when you sign up to a site you are asked to put in your email address – now there are many reasons for this but the main one is so that the site owner can communicate with you and keep you informed about new things, promos, and other things that you may need to know.

So when you enter a bogus email you are only hurting yourself because on this site – if your email bounces (means you can’t get it and it comes back to me undeliverable) then that tells me that you are not serious about want to learn and be part of this site. So what happens is that you get suspended till this is fixed.

AND if you don’t go to your profile and fill in your Paypal address – well when it’s time for the site to make payouts – it will skip over you and not pay you. So if you want to be paid take the time to fill in your Paypal address

Hopefully this will help some of you that are getting started and fill lost and if you were like me didn’t want to ask – well let me tell you ASK – don’t be shy and there is no stupid question. Even today, when I run into things I type my question into Google and guess what I find my question is not that stupid because someone else asked it to and there is an answer for me wooooooohooooooo Now you know my secret for learning new things daily and a little on getting back to the basics.

Bridging the Gap

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

There were lot of traffic exchange owners that wrote blog posts today and one of the comments that I seen stuck in my head and thought I would expand on it and it was
from Carol when she said this “The line between traffic exchanges and ptc sites is blurring.” Just maybe we are bridging the gap

Being a owner and user of each, I would have to say that both traffic exchanges and paid to clicks have been around for years. Both giving the members what they were looking for traffic – whether it was surfing for credits or clicking for cash.

As with lot of things online, I feel it’s good to see the walls being broken down. I remember when I first started online – you had te people that loved te’s and that is the only place you seen them. The PTC people stuck with PTC and never dreamed of entering TE land.

All over you will hear the pros and cons of cash being introduced into the TE’s but actually I think this has opened up more doors actually and it started bridging the gap. It really don’t matter what source you use to get your traffic as long as you are getting results.

Think about it does it really matter to you if a person wants to click all day for pennies. Over time I have heard how important the free members are as most will say they are the backbone of your business – as that is where your traffic is coming from because they view more ads vs an upgraded member.

So if it makes a free member happy to get a penny, nickel, dime, quarter and sometimes $1.00 for winning a grand prize. then I say that a happy member is going to be a loyal member. The thing I see happening is that we are giving that person the opportunity to earn. Now I don’t know about you but when that person get a payout you know they are going to go tell everyone as this is probably the first money they earned online.

Remembering the first money that I earned online, I was so excited about that payout and I still talk about it with people and am still in that same program. What did that make me do? It made me keep doing what I was doing so I could earn more and the more I earned the more I wanted to keep doing.

See I feel that if you can get people earning, they will stick with you – and that gives you the opportunity to teach them along the way to try other things that will earn them more. If I am making money because of you showing me how – don’t you think I’m going to try the next thing you want to show me that is going to earn me more. Now I also have some money in Paypal because despite when some thing that change adds up.

So the next time you see people clicking for pennies and are wondering why a person can do that – well get in there and start showing that person how they can earning nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars – it all adds up and sometimes faster than you think.

In conclusion, I do feel that we are bridging the gap between the PTC users and the TE users and I for one am glad.

Traffic Exchanges – the Good, Bad and the Ugly

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

This week I have read many blog post about traffic exchanges and they are have just been excellent and so got me thinking about all that was said and thought I’d put in my 2 cents on this subject. Traffic Exchanges – the Good, Bad and the Ugly

Traffic exchanges have been around for long time and will be around for long time as they are an great source of traffic. There are many great features with the traffic exchanges, the scripts are better, there are some great owners out there and they are giving people online earning that they have never had a chance to have.

There are lot of great TE’s out there and owners that really care about their site and are easy to find and I could keep going but I also want to touch on the bad – as some of the things that I do see is that people come in with sales pages that are a mile long and put it into rotation and wonder why they don’t get any signups. Also I see many promoting the same page as everyone else – you have to stand out.

You need to change your way of promoting in traffic exchanges – think of them as a billboard that you see when you are going down the interstate – and what would you put on a page the would grab someones attention as they are traveling down the road. So the next time you are bitching about no results – look at what you are using instead of blaming the traffic exchange. The traffic exchange is here to bring eyeballs to your billboard and they work very hard to make sure the traffic will get to your billboard.

Now the ugly – there are some traffic exchanges out there that could care less and all they are concerned about is if you stop and buy something from that billboard and really could care less if you every stop in again. There are some traffic exchanges that are just thrown up and the owner does not maintain his traffic and the next thing the traffic has moved to another site where the traffic is flowing.

You will be able to spot these exchanges and can do it by tracking what you are doing and also just by the site itself – if you login into a site in June and on the members pages it says Merry Christmas – well guess what – that site owners is not one that is maintaining a steady flow of traffic and could care less if you stop by or not.

So in conclusion, traffic exchanges do work, they are here to stay and I personally feel they are improving. That is my scoop on traffic exchanges – the good, bad and the ugly.

Are YOU Teachable?

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

It’s really interesting how much I hear people talking about working online but don’t know where to start, don’t know how to start, don’t know how to adapt to a schedule, don’t know where and what to do – so I have a little challenge for you to see if you are teachable.

Now I know you all are thinking that I have really gone Zaney and maybe I have but I got to thinking how it was for me when I first started online and there is so much going on and you want to be in so many things and scared you are going to miss out on something is you don’t join everything that everyone is talking about. It’s hard to stay focused, it’s hard to make a plan and stick with it, it’s hard to get a routine going – well this helped me and still does.

So I would like you to backup and try this little exercise for me – this will show you many things – like if you are teachable, can you stick to a routine, are you serious about working online, and do I have what it takes to stay focused – because without these qualities – you might as well go back to Facebook and play Farmville and know that you are online only as a hobby and the fun of it.

BUT if you can do this exercise for 30 days, every day and not make any excuses why you can’t, set yourself up a routine (could be do these before I open Skype, do these before I read my emails etc) you get the idea – you need to set it up to do it the same time everyday. After the 30 days you will have a better idea what working online is really like and if you also make it thru you are teachable and ready to add to your routine that you have already set up here.

Another reason I want you to try this exercise is that it will give you an idea how slow the money comes in, it will teach you patience, and it will also show you that IF and that is a BIG IF you stay focused you can earn online

Ok here it is – I have 5 sites that I use to earn extra money online and the main reason that I still do them today is that keep me focused, they keep me in a routine, and they have taught me that it does pay to do this. So I would love you to join in this exercise for 30 days – join these 5 sites and test yourself and find out if you are teachable.

There you go this is sites that I use every day, sites that I have been paid from and sites that helps me stay focused – and note I keep repeating that – not that there are more sites out there that you can join – the lesson here is to stay focused – so we are using the KISS (keep it simple sweetie) method here. 5 sites join and click daily for 30 days and I will love to hear your results from this exercise.

Yesterday I was telling a friend of mine that you have to take action, repeat that action over and over again when you find something that is working and just keep doing it over and over and one of these days you wake up and realize that it’s working – you will see referrals coming in, you will see people coming to you with questions, you will see the money coming in and best of all you will get those emails that say – wow I learned something from you today or that Skype comment saying that they enjoy your emails or comment on your blog that says they tried what you said and it worked – that is “why” we do what we do.

Downline Builders Work and Here Is Proof

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

So often you hear people talking in TEland about how important filling in your downline builders are – well I have been meaning to do a blog post about it and how I could tell when one was filled out – I know downline builders work and here is proof.

Now I know the print is little small for this post but you can click on the image and it will zoom it for you. If you notice that these referrals were in a two day period – so for all you that I have heard that says it’s time consuming, I don’t have time, and do they really work I hope that after seeing this – you will take the time to fill them out.

I know what you are thinking and you are in so many sites that have downline builders and I was in your shoes and I didn’t know in the beginning how important they were. So I will tell you what I have done to make it easier and quicker for me.

You simply create a notepad and name it downline and then as you are making your way around TEland, you stop and get your main affiliate URL – add it to this notepad that you have created. Now what I did was put mine in alphabetically order so that when I got to a new one it was easy for me to insert. Yes it is time consuming but you will be glad you did.

Oh I hear you where do I start – well go to your favorite TE (like Zaney) and start there – when you have all them then in notepad you will have a good start. As you visit the next site then go to the downline builder there and add the ones that you already have in their downline builder and then add any extra that they have that you are a member of.

For anyone that uses Firefox, there is an add-on that you can use call Speed Dial and it basically does the same thing (also time consuming set up but will wonder how you lived without it afterwards). You go to tools, click on add-ons, get add-ons and then type in Speed Dial in the search window and I added the one with the purple square. Then I did the same thing so they would be easy to find then – I set up groups and labeled them A’s, B’s, C’s etc. and then you just add to the groups by right clicking on the empty and add your site URL.

Now I know that each of these methods are time consuming initially but the time they will save you are priceless and you will be more organized and also manage your time better. So to all of you that didn’t believe – hopefully you change your mind after reading downline builders work and here is proof.

This also works great for you that have Paid to Click sites that you need to do on a daily basis – imagines how much faster you can get them done if all the links were in one spot for you to just click, click, click.

Bitter Taste

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

Like you I get alot of emails and this subject line caught my eye today and I’m going to change the names of the person and the site for this blog post BUT I really thought this was something that needed to be addressed so that other owners don’t get this bitter taste.

I do not know if you know me, but I’m (Site Owner So-So), known as (username). I’m a surfer like you. I started surfing for about 7 or 8 years and I gained some experience.

One of the things I learned was that the surfer should not want to grab everything at once. Rather, he should select some good TEs and programs to promote and surfing.

That’s how I bought and I created and maintain the (Site Name).

But it is very sad to note that few (very few) members promote our TE. I surf every day in many TEs, from the chieftains to the lowliest TEs and … to my sorrow, not even see a single splash promoting our TE.

I see many members here promoting other TEs, I see it constantly, including TEs that offer nothing, and awards that the surfer has to compete with thousands of other colleagues, with miserable ratio.

But … is a right of everyone, I can not disregard the taste of anyone.

So I’m seriously considering changing everything around here. Back to the TE quality traffic only, offering the usual commissions, no travel and all that amount of prize pages, bonus and other benefits.

All Traffic Exchange, as indeed any business, you need money in circulation: inputs and outputs. When only one side overlaps the other is a sign that something is wrong, so they are necessary steps in this direction.

Sorry for the long email, but it is very unpleasant to be used only for profit … and nothing more.
One hand washes the other. Think of it always.

Thanks for your patience

Site Owner

Well you know me, I responded to his email and this is what I wrote him back……….

Just read your email so thought I’d go see what you were doing at my site
and was surprised to see the results that I seen and could understand why
you are not seeing your pages. I have a few things that I have learned and
going to share them with you.

ONE it’s up to the owner to do the promoting – 90% of the results that you
get to your site is from what YOU as the owner is doing. You have to stay
active, keep your site out there and DO NOT count on everyone else doing
it for you – it just don’t happen.

TWO – when I signed into your account you only had ONE link in rotation
promoting your site and yet 4 others promoting another site – the first rule is
to get them to your SITE first and then promote to another site.

THREE – you didn’t have any banners or text links added and you need to use
every resource out there as you never know what is going to make that person
finally click – you have to keep the name of your site in front of them even if it
is just adding the site name as a text as which I did for you and assigned your
text links.

While I was there I add all three of your banners and some appeal to some more
than others and that is all that you should be promoting – YOU and YOUR SITE

The other thing that I have done is created a rotator of all your splash pages
and even set up tracker links for them – now you can use it where ever you want
but what I like is that I don’t have to chase all over now to see where my pages
are being seen – as it tells me in the stats.

Here is the rotator that I created for you (link to the rotator that I created for him)
so it’s up to you right now – if you are going to give up which it sounds like
you are ready to do – or just get back on that horse of determination and get
busy promoting you and your site.

The best part is that with this ONE link (as this is what I do with my site’s
stuff) I only have to add the ONE link and it just rotates all my splash pages
and I find that I don’t need as many credits this way – yet my site is being seen
and I know it’s being seen by the stats.

Good luck and hope that this helps you out.

Well as I see and hear this alot – thought I’d make a blog post about this situation as I know lot of people have felt this way, been in these shoes and it gets hard sometimes to get up one more time and keep going.

It’s not working – now what

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

Well you would not believe how many times that I hear this – it’s not working – now what. No one person has all the answers but it’s interesting when you ask a person well tell me what you are doing and tried.

The first thing I hear is well I have about 10 traffic sites that I surf on a regular basis and I am just not getting the results that I thought I was going to get – I see others talking about getting referrals, earning commissions, etc. but now me – it’s not working – now what.

Well if you find yourself in this rut and I know it can happen as I have been there and did the same thing BUT there is hope for you IF you are willing to take the necessary steps to get out of that rut.

There are a few questions that you need to ask yourself?
What are you promoting, the main page just like everyone else?
Have you tried other sources i.e. safelist, mailers, text ad sites, paid to click, etc.
Do you try to connect with people that have the same interest as you (earning online)
Have you paid attention to people that are getting referrals and earning commissions – what are they doing?
Do you use all the available sources that a site you use offers you?
Do you understand all the features of a site so you can explain them to your referrals
OR do you just surf, surf, surf and hope that you get a referral

If this is you (and it was me many years ago) well get off your keister and change what you are doing – this is NOT as simple as putting a website out there and the referrals and money are just going to flood in without YOU taking some action and different than what you have been doing.

Believe me I know it’s not easy as it means getting out of your comfort zone and maybe learning something new, maybe trying a site that you have never tried, trying sites with other scripts that you are not comfortable with, getting on Goggle and learning something new, getting on YouTube and learning how to try something, try making your own pages, and the list goes on and on.

The next time that you hear someone say they got a referral or earned commissions learn to listen – how they did it. AND the biggest one is you have a mentor, coach, or friend that you can ask questions that is a plus – BUT the one thing that I see people forgetting about it the person that is YOUR upline – the person that you joined under – what did they do to get you in the program that you are in.

Everyday I get asked can you get referrals and earn commissions – the answer is yes you can but they will not be delivered on a silver platter to you. YOU have to work for them just like everyone that getting referrals and earning commission.

There are many means of promoting and getting traffic – you need to try and use as many as you can – it is ok to step out and try new things and remember what is working for ONE person might not work for you that is why it’s better to NOT have all your eggs in one basket.

So the next time that you find yourself saying to yourself it’s not working – now what – maybe you slipped in that rut and need to change what you are doing some – and don’t give up – just keep trying, trying, trying and YOU will finally find what works for YOU.

Feel You Just Can’t – Think Again

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Nancy Radlinger

Sometimes emails come to your box when you need them and this one did and thought I would make it into a blog as I hear from so many how they put themselves down. Well if you feel you just can’t – think again.

Now the next time YOU feel that you are a failure, that you can’t and when it seems there is no hope – come back to this blog and READ this again. Stop making excuses, stop blaming someone else, stop thinking that you can’t, stop discouraging others – there are always positives in everyone, everything, everywhere – just find them.
