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.

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.
