\"boredom\"<\/a>It’s interesting when you lurk in the chat rooms at what you can listen to and all of a sudden a blog post idea pops up.\u00a0 While surfing some promos today, I heard people talking about needing more coffee to wake up and that they were having a hard time staying awake so the question popped in my head – are you suffering from surfing boredom?????<\/p>\n

If you answered this with a yes – well there could be many reasons why and going to list a few of them here.<\/p>\n

Same ole, same ole ads<\/h2>\n

This can be boring on many sites if the members are seeing the same home page after another – you have heard me preach time and time again – make your page stand out do something different that will wake up that surfer.\u00a0 Now I know you are thinking well I don’t know how to design pages and not creative – well have you tried?\u00a0 If you think you CAN or you think you CANT…. you are probably right…….Henry Ford.<\/p>\n

One ad after another<\/h2>\n

Have you ever been on a site and it’s just one ad after another – there is nothing to break up the routine – you are thankful to get to a bonus page as it woke you up.\u00a0\u00a0 Personally, when I’m surfing, I need something that is going to make me do something beside click, click, click.<\/p>\n

Alot of people don’t agree with having games on sites\u00a0 but personally I feel they break up the boredom.\u00a0 On my site I have been testing things and have found that members are paying attention as weekly they have a new Treasured Site to find from clues in the emails and they have a chance to win an upgrade.\u00a0 Also, I pick a text ad from the site and have them look for it and they have to click on it and send in the name of the site for a chance to get a free referral.<\/p>\n

When this first started, I got maybe 5 – 6 support tickets but I’m so proud of my members as those support tickets are up to 50 – 60 a week now.\u00a0 Now I know some owners are going OMG on that many tickets – but you know what is great to me – that has opened up the line of communication with me and my members and to my surprise I have some really smart “cats” out there (hehe)<\/p>\n

So the next time you are surfing, think about it – does playing hangman wake up you up and are you more alert on the next pages that you view.\u00a0 How about clicking on those frown faces – didn’t they wake you up and surfing didn’t seem so boring afterwards.<\/p>\n

Same sales copy<\/h2>\n

“If you’re not using Manual Traffic exchanges you’re leaving 100’s and 1000’s of subscribers and Referrals on the table.”

How many of you have seen this and think oh no another same ole, same ole site well when I see this I’m am surfing boredom before I even get inside.\u00a0 To me it tells me that the owner don’t care about making his\/her site unique to them and I really don’t care how great your traffic is, what you offer on the inside – having this on your main page sends out a message to others – this is your place to add some excitement – make them want to join and come in and see what you offer on the inside.\u00a0 JMO<\/p>\n

So I ask again “Are you suffering from surfing boredom” think about how you can get some excitement in the exchange that you are surfing or the site that you own.<\/p>\n
