I&#8217;m a surfer like you. I started surfing for about 7 or 8 years and I gained some experience.<\/em><\/span><\/address>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That&#8217;s how I bought and I created and maintain the (Site Name).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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 &#8230; to my sorrow, not even see a single splash promoting our TE.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But &#8230; is a right of everyone, I can not disregard the taste of anyone.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So I&#8217;m seriously considering changing everything around here. Back to the TE\u00a0 quality traffic only, offering the usual commissions, no travel and all that amount of prize pages, bonus and other benefits.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sorry for the long email, but it is very unpleasant to be used only for profit &#8230; and nothing more.<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">One hand washes the other. Think of it always.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks for your patience<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Site Owner<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well you know me, I responded to his email and this is what I wrote him back&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Just read your email so thought I&#8217;d go see what you were doing at my site<br \/>\nand was surprised to see the results that I seen and could understand why<br \/>\nyou are not seeing your pages.\u00a0 I have a few things that I have learned and<br \/>\ngoing to share them with you.<\/p>\n<p>ONE it&#8217;s up to the owner to do the promoting &#8211; 90% of the results that you<br \/>\nget to your site is from what YOU as the owner is doing.\u00a0 You have to stay<br \/>\nactive, keep your site out there and DO NOT count on everyone else doing<br \/>\nit for you &#8211; it just don&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>TWO &#8211; when I signed into your account you only had ONE link in rotation<br \/>\npromoting your site and yet 4 others promoting another site &#8211; the first rule is<br \/>\nto get them to your SITE first and then promote to another site.<\/p>\n<p>THREE &#8211; you didn&#8217;t have any banners or text links added and you need to use<br \/>\nevery resource out there as you never know what is going to make that person<br \/>\nfinally click &#8211; you have to keep the name of your site in front of them even if it<br \/>\nis just adding the site name as a text as which I did for you and assigned your<br \/>\ntext links.<\/p>\n<p>While I was there I add all three of your banners and some appeal to some more<br \/>\nthan others and that is all that you should be promoting &#8211; YOU and YOUR SITE<\/p>\n<p>The other thing that I have done is created a rotator of all your splash pages<br \/>\nand even set up tracker links for them &#8211; now you can use it where ever you want<br \/>\nbut what I like is that I don&#8217;t have to chase all over now to see where my pages<br \/>\nare being seen &#8211; as it tells me in the stats.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the rotator that I created for you (link to the rotator that I created for him)<br \/>\nso it&#8217;s up to you right now &#8211; if you are going to give up which it sounds like<br \/>\nyou are ready to do &#8211; or just get back on that horse of determination and get<br \/>\nbusy promoting you and your site.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is that with this ONE link (as this is what I do with my site&#8217;s<br \/>\nstuff) I only have to add the ONE link and it just rotates all my splash pages<br \/>\nand I find that I don&#8217;t need as many credits this way &#8211; yet my site is being seen<br \/>\nand I know it&#8217;s being seen by the stats.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck and hope that this helps you out.<\/p>\n<p>Well as I see and hear this alot &#8211; thought I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like you I get alot of emails and this subject line caught my eye today and I&#8217;m going to change the names of the person and the site for this blog post BUT I really thought this was something that &hellip;
