You know it’s interesting as I listen to people these days and the answers to what is a traffic exchange – so thought this would make a nice blog post and let people share
their definition – don’t be shy now

Wikipedia says this……

A traffic exchange website receives website submissions from webmasters that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the website then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved.

Exchanges enforce a certain credit ratio, which illustrates the amount of websites the surfer must view in order to receive one hit through the program for their promoted website. Many sites offer the ability to upgrade one’s membership level for a more equal credit ratio.

As the viewers are all website owners or affiliates, it is possible that some might find certain member sites interesting and thus make note of them on their own sites, sending more traffic their way. Most traffic programs also impose a time limit when members are browsing, ranging from 10 seconds to 60 seconds. Some incorporate the use of captcha to ensure user interaction.

Almost all traffic exchange programs are free, although many of them offer special features to paid members and offer credits for purchase. Almost all traffic exchange programs encourage users to build their own referral networks, which in turn increases the referrers’ amount of credits.

The traffic generated in a traffic exchange can be leveraged by using a downline builder to assist the user in building a referral network in the many different traffic exchanges.

In practice, traffic exchange programs are generally used by small business owners or marketers who either want free advertising or use the exchange programs for low-budget advertisement campaigns.

Now I’m going to ask you to go back and read thru all that ONE more time and this time
look as see if you see anything about a place to EARN money, win prizes, play games
etc.   Then I want to you to keep reading the rest of this post as I think that you will see
how much things have changed over the years and in my opinion not sure if it’s good
or bad – thought would put this out there and see what others thought.

Here is what Widipedia says about Paid to Click…..

Paid To Click is an online business model that draws online traffic from people aiming to earn money from home. Paid-To-Click, or simply PTC websites, act as middlemen between advertisers and consumers; the advertiser pays for displaying ads on the PTC website, and a part of this payment goes to the viewer when he views the advertisement.

So lets hear your thought on what is a traffic exchange in your opinion and yes everyone has one – here is the time to share yours

Bridging the Gap

bridgingthegapThere 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.

Are YOU Teachable?

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.
