Applauding the Traffic Exchange Industry

It’s really funny how a conversation between two site owners can snowball into something that I have never seen in the Traffic Exchange Industry.  So I thought I’d share the story here and let the world know how proud I am to be a part of TEland and am applauding the Traffic Exchange Industry.

This all started out because I bid at a benefit auction last Saturday (Babblewhack-a-Thon) and what the bid was for is an upgrade at one of the Traffic Exchanges.  Well the owner, Bartender Mo, contacted me and wanted to know what I wanted to do with the upgrade as I was already upgraded at her site – so my comment back was give it to someone – it’s all in the spirit of Christmas.

Well that got our heads going and thought wouldn’t it be nice if other TE’s would do that for the Holidays and what a great way to give back to the members.   So after some discussing we decided to ask some of the sites owners that we knew to see their reaction.

What a reaction we got – you’ve got to keep in mind that this time of the year there are so many Holiday promos going on and all a site owner wants to hear is another promo and more behind the scene work BUT that was not the reaction at all – the reaction was yes that sounds like fun, oh would love to do that, yes count us in, just let us know the details and the list went on and on.

We had tried to come up with the easiest way for everyone – owners and surfers.  All you have to do is pick your favorite site, surf till you find a special page that will be inserted in the site and depending on the script – you report it, send in a code etc.  There is no certain amount to surf, no certain sites to surf, no certain days to surf – just a list of site owners that are giving away an upgrade – you just visit the site, surf till you find the page and then move on to your next one.

The other thing we did to help reward our members is that we are using the main site url and when people join a site that they are not a member of – some lucky member of that site will get a random referral – isn’t this all so exciting?

It’s just been amazing as Mo and I would have been happy with 10 – 20 sites but as of today we have over 100 sites and still adding to the list of sites participating!.  We talked about the cut off time and guess we will keep adding till December 16th.  Here is the reason why – we did add a timeframe on our promo page – you can visit that page here.  All I Want For Christmas Is A Free Upgrade

Yes there is a story to that theme also Mo had heard that song All I Want For Christmas is my Two Front Teeth and for anyone that has not heard this song – I decided to add it here for you as this little one is just precious.

 

So I guess the moral of this story is to NOT get two site owners together and have them brainstorming as you never know what you might wind up with.  Once again, I would like to Thank all the Traffic Exchanges (TE’s) for this event and am applauding the Traffic Exchange Industry – you have made this site owner very, very proud.

P.S.  Question had come up what if a member is already upgraded – well that member can give it away if they want – keeping the spirit of Christmas going
