Taking the Guess Out of it with Trackers and Rotators

Posted on by

questions2It’s interesting how much I hear about I don’t know what site works, I don’t know where I even have my site anymore, I don’t know if it is even being seen, and the list goes on and on.  Well hopefully after this post, you can be taking the guess out of it with trackers and rotators.

Here is what I have been busy doing and this can work for both (other site owners and surfers) as it’s set up the same.  As you are aware, many of the LFMTE script have a rotator mod and recently there was an upgrade and tracking was added.  If you are not taking advantage of this – YOU ARE MISSING A BIG PIECE OF YOUR PUZZLE

Let me explain, with so many sites out there – do you really know where you are getting the best bang for your credits – do you know which sites your pages are being shown and how many times a day someone sees them, how many unique hits you are getting etc.

You are going to LOVE what I am about to tell you now.  TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE ROTATORS.  For this post, I’m going to use Zaney (hehe) as an example – when you go to the affiliate toolbox there are many, many splash pages to choose from.

So here is what you do you click on the tab that says Rotators – then click on Trackers – this is were you will have a little work – you want to copy EVERYONE of those splash page URL’s and paste them in as a tracker.  Now I have noticed that sometimes you will get that That tracker name is already taken – don’t get alarmed as what happened is that maybe someone else already used zaneyclicks as their name – so what do you do – you get creative – and make up something unique to YOU i.e. nancyzc41 – now that tells me that is splash page 41 http://zaneyclicks.com/splashpage.php?splashid=41&rid=57978 and you can see that in the URL.

Well what you have to do now is scroll down and click on the button that says add/edit sites and then you will see all those tracker links that you made earlier – wooooohoooothen all you have to do is put a check mark in those boxes and scroll to the bottom and click update rotator and then you will see all your tracker links appear below – now you can put the URL out there and then start your testing.

Now here is the BEST part – you will need less credits to show this one URL vs 15 of them that you can decide which one to choose.  You also can go back and click on rotators and then rotators again and see your stats  – there are ways to fine tune this even more so that you know your conversions but will save that for another blog post as I see I’m up to 561 words – so guess I’d better close this one.

And the answer to your question is it worth the time to do all this – the answer is YES, YES, YES.  You are going to be surprised at your results I know I sure was.  So this is one way of taking the guess out of it with trackers and rotators.

Cheap Site Critique

Posted on by

My GranddaughterAs most of you know, I have been babysitting my granddaughter this week and it’s really been interesting our subjects of conversations and let me tell you if you would like a cheap site critique – try your kids and grandkids.

It’s actually been amazing as she has gone thru the sites this week and I was showing her different things as she like grandma’s touch screen – but it sure brought some simple things that I take for granted  – well……………let’s say opened my eyes.

I’m not going thru all my notes that I made but I did want to share some of her insight in looking at different TE’s as she helped me match the icons while surfing – like I said she thought the touch screen was cool and told Grandma to get with the times why you still using a mouse – this is so much faster.

While surfing we were watching for people promoting Zaney Clicks and she was quick at spotting the banners and text links – examples was It’s the Cat’s Meow was one and I would have just kept going and she said there is a Zaney one Grandma – I clicked on it and sure enough – so asked her how did you know that.  She goes Grandma everyone knows that you like cats so it had cats in the text link – had to be yours.

Another lesson, sometimes we get busy branding ourselves with our names that we don’t even see that we also have been branding our sites with images – and the light bulb went on again – well do you know – she goes why don’t you add text links about cats – like Meow, Meow, Meow – well trying to hide the red face I just got a piece of paper and started taking notes.

So I then asked her what was her favorite thing on the sites and she picked the banners and again I asked her why – well they are faster to read – they are always up in the corner and that corner catches my eye before the rest of the page.  Interesting huh??????  I sure thought so.

Then she said I don’t like the flashy ones that makes my eyes bounce too much – I like the nice color ones – bright colors and easy to read – it’s easy to know what the banner is about instead of trying to read all that fine print – so again Grandma is taking more notes and going to go look at her banners.

Then she goes Grandma how come your site is not green??????  That is your favorite color and I thought the idea was to let people get to know you hummmmmm  – she got me again……..wow – so guess I will have to maybe work on looking at that little closer.

Get this one – Grandma how come you aren’t looking at your pages and site with your picture you have on here – it’s looking off the screen – again turning 8 shades of red hmmm well duh Grandma why did you do that – that is simple one to fix.

Well folks this is just a few of the LONG list of things that I got from my Cheap Site Critique.  All it cost me was my time and let her use my touch screen – and now I’m a cool Grandma as she had to go tell her friends at school.

One other thing before I go and got to share this as it’s so funny.  Grandma this is what you do for work, click matching icons, view others pages, play hangman (which she won them all), chat in these rooms  – wow Grandma I can see why you have become a hermit and we don’t see you – this is an awesome “job”.  Hehehehehe

 

What is in Your Site Terms?

Posted on by

terms2Well there is lot that goes on behind the scene sometimes that other owners and members should be aware of and I personally feel this is one of them as this has been a nightmare for me – what is in your site terms.

If you have not read them and gone thru them now is the time as it was my site terms that saved my hinder the other day.  This is what happened – I had a member join and brought in many referrals and then used the sites rotator to put their pages in the BODY of some spam emails.

This was first brought to my attention a couple week ago in one of my skype rooms as one of the members had received one and then as we were talking another pipped up and said he had to.

So I wanted to warn members and other owners when you see emails like this – most of the time it is promoting a click bank product and then it will say if you like this product there are some more that the senders name suggest and that is when they add the rotator.

When you do get one of these emails you need to report them as spam but first you should get the info from the header of the email and this is how you get that info.report spam

You have to open the email, then on the right side, you have to choose the little menu next to the reply arrow, then choose show original, then copy that and send it in an email to you. forwarding it does not show the header where it came from.  That is how emails can be tracked down and how you should report all spam emails.

So bottom line here was because my site’s rotator was in the body of the email – my site got reported for spam to the company that has my domain.   They threaten to shut the site down, fine me, etc. if I didn’t stop this – I had to go thru hours of proving it was not me.

The funny thing is that my hosting company didn’t get one report and it took me getting them on the phone with the people that has my domain plus sending them a copy of my terms, screen shots that the members was suspended and banned – then they were happy.

So members and site owners – please read the terms of your site, report spam emails the right way and ALWAYS let a owner know if you are seeing these things going on so they can put a stop to them.

Text Ads – Love Them or Hate Them

Posted on by

textWell I have been wanting to do this post for so long and finally am getting a chance to get it wrote up as I think about it every time I am surfing.  Text Ads – Love Them or Hate Them.

From what I see most everyone must hate them as they are the most unused source of advertising out there and to me one of the best.  If you are not using text ad and hate them then maybe after I tell you why I love them – you will reconsider.

The first thing I have always heard from people the reason they don’t use them is that they don’t know what to put, they are not good at writing, they are more of a copy and paste person – well BINGO – let’s make it easy for you – pay attention the next time you are surfing and if you see something that catches your eye – copy and paste it to a notepad file like I do – people do this all the time they are call swipe files.

Google Swipe Files sometimes and you will find that some of the best advertisers and copywriters all have swipe files.  You may run across a line that catches your eye copy and paste it for later use.  I have got so I even listen to commercials on TV more and jot down things that I think I will be able to use.

Now once you have your swipe file – now it’s time to take advantage of the BEST (JMO) and most unused advertising out there and here are some of my reasons.  Text links are hardly ever used – there is not much competition – you link will get seen.   AND people do click on them as I have been tracking and I have to say my text links brings me just as many referrals as my other forms of advertising.

Now most site owners are not going to like me saying this but they are practically giving you your BEST advertising on a silver platter.  In the TE’s do you see in most of the prizes that you win it’s FREE text impressions and not just a few either.  AND have you paid attention that for one credit – you sites gets seen ONE time and competes with how many other sites for that view.   Yea, think about it now.

The next time you login, pay attention and you will see what I am saying.  One credit can get you anywhere  from 5 – 40 views.  So think about this you have people surfing and I have Why Zaney Clicks? as a text link – do YOU know how many times that is going to pop up for people to see – oh I know what you are thinking – people don’t look at them anyway.

You are wrong – test it for yourself.  I am always testing that is why you see me changing and making new splash pages, new colors, new graphics, new banners, new text links.  This is what you have to do and you will find that people do click text ads and that you will get referrals from them.

The other place that they are given out freely and under used is TAE (text ad sites)  and I know what you are thinking already – I can’t afford to buy points to get my stuff to show.  You don’t have to 99% of the time you can post text links/ads for free and what makes this so good is that they not only click your link for points – you are keeping what your are promoting in front of them.

Thomas Smith wrote a guide called Successful Advertising in 1885.[6] The saying he used is still being used today.

The first time people look at any given ad, they don’t even see it.
The second time, they don’t notice it.
The third time, they are aware that it is there.
The fourth time, they have a fleeting sense that they’ve seen it somewhere before.
The fifth time, they actually read the ad.
The sixth time they thumb their nose at it.
The seventh time, they start to get a little irritated with it.
The eighth time, they start to think, “Here’s that confounded ad again.”
The ninth time, they start to wonder if they’re missing out on something.
The tenth time, they ask their friends and neighbors if they’ve tried it.
The eleventh time, they wonder how the company is paying for all these ads.
The twelfth time, they start to think that it must be a good product.
The thirteenth time, they start to feel the product has value.
The fourteenth time, they start to remember wanting a product exactly like this for a long time.
The fifteenth time, they start to yearn for it because they can’t afford to buy it.
The sixteenth time, they accept the fact that they will buy it sometime in the future.
The seventeenth time, they make a note to buy the product.
The eighteenth time, they curse their poverty for not allowing them to buy this terrific product.
The nineteenth time, they count their money very carefully.
The twentieth time prospects see the ad, they buy what is offering.

DID YOU SEE THIS – 20 times – so you tell me where are your going to get your site, product, whatever you are promoting seen.  Now I’m tell you to try this because what will happen is that it takes them what 5 times before they read it – well that 5th time they read it well I want them down to that seventh, eight, ninth time seeing it when my ad shows up in rotation – WHY they are more likely going to click on it because you already have them interested and they are thinking I might be missing something.

Ok I could go on and on here but I think you get the idea – so lets get out there and test some text ads – let me know if you love them or hate them

Best Gift That You Can Give Anytime

Posted on by
22

You know I listen to everyone this time of the year and how hectic things seem to get as you are chasing around looking for the “perfect gift” which brings me to this post of the best gift that you can give anytime, any season, any reason, and any occasion.

If you think back through the years – do you remember all the materials things (toys, presents, and gifts) that you got – I know I don’t.  What I remember is the time that my Mom did things with me, the time that Grandma showed me something and that Grandpa took me to the park and pushed me on the swings.

The reason that I’m even talking about this is I listen to stories all over the internet and even from friends that I know can’t afford to buy gifts this year and thought that I’d make a few suggestions for people online and offline and all that it cost you is a little bit or your “TIME”  Yep that is the best gift that you can give anytime and as you get older a person realizes it even more.

I’m just going to give you a few suggestions here to get your mind flowing with ideas to be creative with.

For the kids……
A home made certificate for an hour of your time – they pick the activity (and as crazy as it is – just do it)
A certificate of the meal of their choice (yes their choice)
A day to make a family scrapbook together – sorting thru photos etc.
A scavenger hunt where the winner picks tonight dessert
A night to set and listen to their music and watch them do a dance to one of their favorite songs ( my granddaughter loves this one)
An afternoon to play their favorite game – yea even if it’s one of those crazy computer games

For siblings/friends with kids
A home made certificate to watch the kids so they can have a nite out.
Another certificate to make their favorite meal
A scavenger hunt with both families – winner picks the prize
How about making them a cd of their favorite songs

For your parents
Certificates for chores around the house – cleaning, cooking, mowing the year, raking the leaves, the list here is endless.
How about an hour of your TIME just for a visit – really set down and talk to them.
A favorite movie nite they pick the movie yea and Miracle on 34th Street or another black and white movie might not be your cup of tea but to them it’s part of who they are.
One that my 2nd mom always enjoyed us to do was to go to midnight mass with her and don’t make excuses not to – just go

Your online friends
How about sharing a video with them or even just a comment on their FB or even a smiley in their chat can often make a person’s day.
Sometimes because you can’t see a person you really don’t know what kind of day they are having.
How about a video from you just for them – don’t be shy – get on there and sing Happy Birthday to them – get on there and tell them some funny jokes etc. – you got the idea.
If you do graphics, make they a banner, splash page, etc that would help them promote what they are doing
Offer to take some online classes with them – you both gain that way
Create a virtual vacation for them – DREAM – if you had all the money in the world where would you take your online friend and where would you like to meet them for real – you can make it real

 

 

 

The Must Have Tool for Traffic Exchanges

Posted on by

Well I don’t know about you but I actually wish when I started there was a tool like I’m going to tell you about as life would have been so much easier.  For any TE owner or surfer, I feel this is the MUST have tool for traffic exchanges.

When you start out in TEland it not so bad to keep up with the few exchanges that you are on but I don’t care how hard you try – you are NOT going to stick to a manageable few.  This is usually what happens – you join one or two because of a recommendation from this friend and then another friend tells you about a couple more – then one of these sites has a promo with one that you are not a member of – and this keeps going and the next thing you know you have so many that you can keep up because you are not organized anymore.

After you have been in TEland as long as I have and get recommendations from so many friends like I have – well needless to say finding this tool was just a God sent.  All of a sudden you finding yourself wanting more hours in your day OR you want to know how everyone else keeps up – well here is the secret.

It’s called TE Command Post and this will be the BEST decision that you will ever make.  This is a place that you can manage ALL your traffic exchanges in ONE place – yea if you wait till I did – it’s time consuming setting up but believe me take the time.  Why? Because the time that TE Command Post will save you in the long run is just unreal.

Some of the benefits that you can get by joining free today is

  • Up to the minute account information for every listed exchange almost instantly.
  • How many credits you have waiting to be assigned
  • How many credits you have already assigned
  • Which url’s are running low on credits
  • High converting Affiliate Tools designed to build your downlines fast and bring your passive recurring affiliate commissions for TE Command Post and many other traffic-related sites

You know what I love about this tool is that I get a daily email giving me the scoop on the TEs that I am a member of – from that email I can easily know where I need credits, where I need to surf, what is showing and what is not showing.

AND if you are a newbie and don’t have a product or site to start earning money online then is is the tool/program you have been looking for – join and become an affiliate and you can start earning commissions just by referring others and when they upgrade – you earn.

So is there a product/tool out there that is perfect for TEland – yes there is and you just found out about it here.  Stop wasting your time trying to organize yourself, stop wasting time logging into all your sites to see if your sites are showing – join TE Command Post and get your TEs that you are member of and you will find that you are going to get more referrals, save yourself time, and even earn commissions by letting other know your secret.

This a free to join program and there’s really nothing hidden and no reason not to try it today.  Grab the MUST have tool for traffic exchanges NOW.
