When Tezak Traffic Power Launched this summer, I was extremely exited about their innovative “List Ads” feature. Setting one up is as easy as writing a short headline, some brief copy, and pasting in your auto-responder code. The system then rotates your ad (Looks like a classified ad) inside their surfbar while members are surfing for ad credits. If a member clicks your ad, an opt in form appears for them to fill out in order to subscribe to your list.

Until recently, only aweber auto-responders were supported, but thanks to new impovements, a wide variety of aut-responders can be used here. This makes one of my favorite traffic exchanges immensely more effective as with a larger variety of ads in rotation, there is less likelihood of users becoming “numb” to the list ad spaces. I’m already seeing improved opt-in rates and that’s always a good thing.

Are list ads better than squeeze pages? After extensive use of these things, I can’t really say they are better, however marketers on a budget may find them more cost effective as while it takes one credit to get a page view in a traffic exchange, at Tezak Traffic you can exchange 1 credit for 10 list ad impressions. I find myself converting nearly all of my credits into list ad impressions and I’m quite satisfied with the results. If you haven’t tried em out yet, give em a whirl. They’re free to use if you’re willing to surf for credits, but of course you do have the option to buy some if you’re short on time.

Note: Tezak Traffic Power is currently ranked #4 out of 99 exchanges rated weekly by Affiliate Funnel’s “Surfer’s choice” system.

How can you not smile when someone else does the work while you yourself benefit? No, I’m not raving about the latest matrix program, but I am nearly giddy about the new marketing demographic report at Traffic-Taxis.  While there’s no way to make something like a “marketing demographic report” sound sexy, savvy marketers are going to find this to be a valuable weapon when gathering leads at Traffic taxis.

The way it works is sheer brilliance, if you’ve ever taken an online quiz or poll then this will feel really natural for you.  Want to see the report?  You’ll have to fill out the latest survey first.  Once completed (usually takes only a few seconds) you’re instantly shown the results AND awarded a bonus of anything from free advertising credits to cash.

The bonus is a nice touch, but the real value comes from the info in the reports.  Each one is basically a survey of current Traffic taxis members, and each one has different questions in it.  This is an excellent opportunity for you to discover what potential prospects are interested in.  Tailor your ads accordingly and it won’t be long before you’re raving yourself.

Has Tony Tezak killed squeeze pages for good?

Well I certainly hope not considering designing them for others is a significant portion of my income, however after 3 days into to the launch of Tony’s next generation traffic exchange “Tezak Traffic Power” I must admit, I’m a bit worried.

A quick look at this screenshot from my aweber new subscribers report tells the tale tells the tale better than words…

As you can see, I got a HUGE spike in sign ups when TTP Launched.  I can only imagine what those numbers would have looked like I had I remembered to log in a assign more impressions when the first batch ran out.  What’s really killing me is that an ad that was a flop as a squeeze page, is on fire as a trimmed down list ad at Tezak Traffic Power.

What surprises me even more is that in all the buzz around this new exchange there’s been very little mention of how powerful the list ads feature at ttp is.  I’ve honestly never seen a free to use program like this that does so well at bringing in fresh leads.  With over 5,000 people actively surfing ttp in just the first 3 days it doesn’t look like this lead source will be drying up any time soon.  Knowing that Tony has teamed up with affiliate marketing powerhouse Paul Kinder and technical mastermind Tim Rash I have no doubt that this feature will continue to drive in the prospects for years to come.

So to Recap, Here’s the REAL long term benefits as I see them…

• List Ads

• Tony Tezak

• Paul Kinder

• Tim Rash

• Paul Kinder’s famous customer care team we all love from Traffic-Splash (yep, they’re on board too.)

• A Uniquely powerful next generation Traffic Exchange script

No Matter How you look at it, Tezak Traffic Power is a winner, and my new not so secret weapon for increasing my opt-in rate. Hats off Tony, Paul, Tim and the team… you guys have really out done yourselves.

Still on the fence? Try out the list ads at Tezak Traffic Power before you make a judgement. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at your results.

You know, when I used to monitor customer support at Affiliate Funnel, I was shocked at how many customers did not know how to manage their PayPal account.  Yeah, real people doing business online with absolutely no idea how to keep track of their money.  Kind of like opening a convienience store with no clue how to work the register.  NOT a good idea.

In my opinion, the #1 reason people think affiliate programs are “scams” is the fact that so many go broke when they lose track of all their monthly subscriptions, and when the monthly re-billing goes through, they find themselves slapped with over draft fees, and in some cases, end up losing their bank accounts.  Truly a sad state of affairs, but as of today, help is on the way.

Sunny Suggs, Author of No More No-Script and a plethora of other newbie friendly guides, has just put together the definitive PayPal guide for online business owners.  In true Sunny Suggs fashion, she’s included a ton of Screenshots, complete with arrows pointing to crucial buttons, and clear and simple instructions that ensure it’s easy as can be to take control of your outgoing AND incoming funds.

This one is quickly going on my “must have” list and I’m sure you can see why.  Is there anything more important to your business than knowing how to keep track of your money?  Personally, I like getting paid.  I like being able to cancel a subscription that I don’t need with a couple of mouse clicks too.  Even better, I like being able to recommend free info to my newbie friends, and this one meets my 3 top criteria.  Useful info, Easy to follow, and 100% free to download.
