Drop It and Forget It

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.

guiltyIt was amazing how many banners that I deleted today because the image was now 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

backtobasicsStarting 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.

 

 

Get Kranking

man-announce-01-300x300I know most of you think that I just went Zaney again but a friend of mine and I were chatting tonight and he’s been here as a dear friend – thru the bad time, the good times and rode the roller coaster with me.  We were chatting about how many time we both would have like to quit and give up but we didn’t and then he shared this video with me and we need to get kranking.

It’s not easy sometimes to keep going, it gets discouraging sometime BUT the lesson here is not to give up and get kranking.

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.

Traffic Exchanges – the Good, Bad and the Ugly

winkinggirlThis 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.

Marcy did an excellent post on Old Time Traffic Exchange Marketing and loved the post and yes things do change over the years – sometimes for the better and sometimes not – this happens in life all the time.

Then James came along with the best analogy that I have seen lately on traffic exchanges in his post Coke VS Te’s and he is so right – just because one person may like one soda more than another – they are still Sodas – same goes with TE’s.

Then Cathy wrote Where Is The Traffic Exchange Industry Headed and after all these well I feel they are here to stay – and also feel that there are some great owners out there that are bringing in some great suggestions, ideas, and are creative in what and how they run the sites.

Guess I got carried away on the good 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.

Live like you were dying

Was listening to the news today about Dick Trickle and so sad as he was so liked in this state – attended the wrap up meeting tonight and James was talking about his age, weight and thought that health and heart problems don’t happen to someone his age – and yet many of take for granted that we will get up tomorrow.  There is a song by Tim McGraw that came to mind that I just love the lyrics and would like to share.

No matter how well planned you have your life there are things that will happen that is going to take you down a different path from where you thought you would be going.  I for one can testify to this as I thought about all this today in James’ webinar and listening
about Dick Trickle.

When I first came online, I remember I felt I had hit the end of the world – my life as I had known it for the last 25 years ended – I had gotten divorced not only from the ex but from a day to day life that I had been comfortable with.  Then a friend that I met online right away told me Nancy, it really don’t matter what happens – it’s how you handle it will make all the difference.

You know he was right, sometimes life don’t seem to treat you the best and will throw you a curve ball but as I look back now – I picked up myself, dusted the dust off and started my “new” journey that was waiting for me.  If you find yourself in that rut, feel like you have hit a brick wall, or your giddy up and go got up and gone – maybe you should step back and think about what is going on in your life right now.

What are you doing with your dash?  No I didn’t go Zaney – everyone has a dash and it’s from the time your were born – till the time of your death.  So I’ll ask again, what are you doing with your dash?

Get out there and like the song says – Live like you were dying.  Do the things that you have put off, do something out of your normal routine, go somewhere you have always wanted to go, use the good china, make some memories  – no matter what age you are – Just Do It.

WOW I had to come back and add another paragraph after reading a friend’s blog post
so head on over and read about the Daffodil Prinicple

Branding – have you learned it yet?

One of the first things that I heard when I started working online that you have to learn to brand yourself, your product, your site etc.  Well I can remember telling the person that told me that they were crazy as how do you learn to brand online.  Branding – have you learned it yet?

Years ago – you could tell alot from a person’s attire, the way they managed themselves when you met them and even sealed deals with handshakes.  Well that isn’t so easy to do online as you can’t always see the person you are dealing with and you really have to careful as everyone has their own story to tell.

Years ago, I was told by a mentor of mine, if you meet someone online before you do any kind of work with that person – go to Google and put in their name.  If this person is let’s say walking the walk and not just talking the talk – you will find out, you will find what that person has been doing, you will learn the good, bad and ugly about that person.

Does that mean that if you do find something bad or ugly – run in the other direction – NO – I have found over the years for SEO purposes many people like to use some of the  keywords for what they are writing at the time and may add scam etc. to the title just to get attention.  Be sure you read ALL and not just the headlines about the person that you are looking up.

Now if that person has done their homework and like my friend told me have branded themselves – they you will be able to see it when you Google them.  Another thing that I like to do is visit social sites also and put in their name, read their profiles and one of the best places that I have found for other business people is APSense.  A friend of mine also wrote a great article on how to brand yourself there – Click Here To Read

Ok I know what you shy people are thinking, I really don’t want to put myself out there it makes me feel uncomfortable and I don’t like talking about myself.  In the TE Land there are many other ways that people are branding themselves – when talking to other listen to how some sites are being branded – here are some examples.

How about a dog named Fred at ClickFred Traffic
Every time you see a Frog now – dont you think about Froggy Hits
Horror Films makes you think of Horror Movie Hits
Mention Cows and who do you think of Mo’s cows at Holy Cow
And we all know about “Flash” at Hot Flash Hits
Can’t forget the one and only Krazy Kaye over at Krazy Exchange
What site has taught us about Marijuana and Kudos to Jon on a great job at Marijuana Hits
How about Teacup Puppies – didn’t even know they existed Teacup Puppy Traffic
Last but not least – the kid on the block – Yuppie over at Yuppie Hits

Saving the best (JMO) example of branding ……….If you have not heard about IT, seen IT, grabbed IT, and even joined IT – well I just don’t know where you have been because I think James has done an excellent job (don’t tell him as IT will go to his head) in branding his site Internet Traffic (IT) 24/7

Social Manual Traffic ExchangeIT is a new Traffic Exchange world.Just Get IT

One more before you go – want to make sure you get it – here is his latest Video

So Branding – have you learned it yet??  I hope by the examples in this post that you will get out there and start branding you, yourself, you logo – YOU need to make your presence known – have fun.

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.



468x60 Hungry For Hits traffic exchange banner

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.

Ok this is an example that I got today and get lot of these and never, never, never click on the links in these emails as someone is using this email for fish for your info.  The biggest clue here for me is when it says Dear Member – Paypal, Payza, Ebay all these companies use your first name and never will start off their emails with Dear Member.

What do you do when you get one – well here is what I do as I click on actions and click on show header and I copy all that info and forward this email and the header info to phishing@payza.com and if you don’t remember the address to send it to – then just type in Google and search where to send phishing emails to Paypal, Payza, Ebay, etc.  where ever you got the email from.  Don’t know what a header looks like – here is what the header looked like to this one.
