So I took the advice of my buddy Rich Morris from Traffic Heroes and joined this new viral traffic system, Web Traffic Juggernaut.  Here we are about 48 hours into the launch and I’ve got to say I’m pretty impressed with this tool.

The basic principle behind the system is this.  You take whatever current website you are promoting, and plug it into the WTJ system.  The system generates a custom link for you which displays your ad, with a small, slide in ad window in the lower right corner.  The ad window contains 3 member ads, and a link to Web Traffic Juggernaut with your referral id embedded.  Now each time your site is displayed with the ad window in place, you earn “credits” which are spent displaying your ad in an ad window on other member’s sites.  But the real power comes from the viral nature of this program…

By referring others, you earn more credits for each display of your referrals links.  So you’re not only earning ad displays from your own efforts, but from those of your downline as well.  The system also guarantees you referrals even if you do NOTHING but remain a member.  the call it a “dual matrix” and basically what that means is that new members who join the program directly spill into the downlines of current members.  Is that crazy or what? 48 hours in and yes, I’m allready seeing residual traffic coming in from my downlines.

One aspect I feel I should mention is the ability to email your downline.  I didn’t even realize this was included until I stumbled onto it earlier today.  As a gold member, you can email your downline once every 7 days.  If you upgrade, you can mail your downline 3 levels deep.  Personally, I think if you use this feature, use it to mail out your lead capture page and add subscribers to your list.  Sure this program looks like it’s going to be around for years to come, but best to rely on your own list 1st.

So it’s still early, but so far I’m really digging this system.  referrals are coming easy, and the traffic has the potential to reach all corners of the web, not just traffic exchanges.  I do love exposure. :)

The spotlight continues, this time focusing on  motivated systems admin turned traffic exchange owner, Robin Bouwhuis.   Robin’s “Easy Surf Exchange” has been making a few waves (pun intended) around the TE industry with his unique surfing lizard design.  Robin made a great choice, investing in a truly stellar design for his site, calling on the talented Justin Ledvina of Shark Studios to get the job done.

Once you get inside Robin’s Exchange, it’s clear that a lot of time and effort has been put into making the site easy to navigate, and setting up your ad campaigns is quite simple as well.  I think what stands out the most is the larger than average surf bar images which are easy to make out, and will surely be a welcome improvement to anyone with failing eyesight.

Mr. Bouwhuis seems to be taking his member’s best interest to heart, encouraging surf activity with a number of generous surf rewards including Super Surf Saturday and Sunday, Wipe Out Wednesday’s and some generous credit rewards in the surfbar if you’re paying attention.

So far so good Mr. Bouwhuis, Easy Surf Exchange is off to a great start!

Review of Easy Surf Exchange on Tim Linden’s Blog.

Since the first website traffic exchange went online nearly a decade ago, We have seen countless variations of the original manual traffic exchange model. As competition among an ever growing number of exchanges heats up, innovation is at an all time high.

Traffic exchange ranking systems on the other hand, have essentially remained the same. In most cases the rankings have been based on some organizations stats and figures, maybe some opinion thrown in for good measure, while we the surfers put blind faith in the stats and experiences of these 3rd parties.

Last week marked the beginning of a long overdue change in the way exchanges are ranked. The hardworking team over at Affiliate Funnel launched their brand new member based ranking system for traffic exchanges. Affilliate Funnel members can now rate each exchange listed in the AF database with a score from 1-10. At the end of each week, points are tallied and the best of the best rise to the top.  Truly a useful tool and a welcome addition to this already powerful free downline builder.

Now, anyone with experience in the exchanges will tell you, no ranking system should dictate your advertising focus. Rather you should track your own results and promote in exchanges that give you the best results. But until now, there has never been a better starting point for your tracking efforts than the top sites in the AF ranker. Why? Well, it only makes sense that sites receiving the most votes would have the most active members using them doesn’t it. I mean, why would you vote for a site you don’t even use? So it’s safe to assume that if you promote in a site that ranks high at AF, there should be a lot of eyes waiting to see your ads. More eyes = more possible conversions wouldn’t you think?

So, If you were under a rock these past couple of weeks and have yet to check out the new and improved Affiliate Funnel, go ahead and have a look here. Don’t forget to Vote!

At the core of any successful internet business you always find two things. Heavy traffic flow, and a large, targeted mailing list. A common strategy, and one I myself have recommended in the past, is to build massive downlines in several traffic exchanges (thus earning tons of traffic passively) and then throwing that traffic at a lead capture page to build your mailing list. A solid strategy to be sure, but what if you could accomplish both tasks simultaneously?

With Steve Ayling’s latest creation that’s exactly what you’ll be doing. Once you’ve set the system up, it really is as simple as promting a single page. Your referrals join your mailing list, as well as a variety of traffic exchanges and other programs beneath you. Steve has made the entire process ridiculously simple which means your downlines will have no trouble doing the same. It’s this viral aspect of the service that ensures long term benefits for those wise enough to take advantage.

So can you believe it’s free? Yeah… I was suprised too.

I almost forgot to mention that Steve is paying out %25 commission on the one time offer.

So lets break it down to the bullet points shall we?

  • Builds your mailing list. If the program disappears, your subscribers are still yours.
  • Builds your downlines in not only traffic exchanges, but a few commission earners as well.
  • Opportunity to earn commissions from the one time offer while doing both of the above.

Can you say no brainer?
