Downline Builders Work and Here Is Proof

Posted on by

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.

referralNow 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 by
37

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.

madcat 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 – want to discuss this more
you can add me on Skype @ nancyradlinger

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 by

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.

60728294946944041_qNywDCq7_bThe 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.

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 and on Skype – 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
32

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

Here is a list that I have been saving just for this blog post – glance thru here and get started today – you are going to be surprised

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 Skype 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

Ok, I think you have the idea – and believe me it works as the best gift that I remember over the years that I got from my son was a cd collection of my favorite country classics that he remember hearing when he was growing up – it was pure torture for him but those cds are just priceless to me.  He said it took him weeks to do and he didn’t understand why I enjoyed that music – also said he didn’t know if he should divorce his wife, shoot the dog, cry in his beer but it’s the fact that he took the “TIME”

Greatest Gift You Can Give Someone Is Your Time
