Click Crazey?

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Just a quick update to inform all members that a new traffic exchange has been added to your traffic exchange list.

This is one of the old originals, been online for a number of years. Quite frankly was on the downhill slide until just recently. Guess you might wonder why I would add such an exchange to our surfing list?

Quite simple really, the new owners. Jon Olsen and Robert Puddy have taken this program over, redesigned it, and for sure will promote and get it back in the mix as one of the top performers very quickly. So for me, was a no brainer to add it immediately, only because of who the new owners are. :) Usually wouldn’t add it unless thoroughly tested first.

I like to see old exchanges revitalized instead of disappearing from the net. So many new ones are being started now days with little or no direction or knowledge and training of how to make them grow and be effective. Anyway, that’s a whole other subject.. lol

Let you in on a little secret. There is another older exchange that is going through the redesign stage at this point and will be brought back to life very soon. Will keep you posted on the status. :)

Anyway, if you are already a member of ClickCrazey, get over to our “traffic exchange” downline builder list, enter your id to add it to your surfing schedule. If not a member, seriously consider adding this one. Just enter your ID number to automatically add it to your surf console.

On another bit of news, Soaring4Traffic has reached the 4600 member mark which means our goal of 5000 by year end is certainly achievable. Putting together a referral contest shortly to boost our new members even quicker. Stay tuned for that one. Would like to know which you prefer? Cash awards or credits? Let me know by posting comments below.

Is there anything you would like to see changed on Soaring4Traffic? Anything that you feel could be improved and or any frustrations you have with the operation system. Post your comments below or send me a support email anytime. Improvements, changes come from your recommendations and desires. :)

Would you like to see more training on how to use traffic exchanges? Have you viewed the video tutorials on your main member page?

That’s it for today, except to let you know that bonus credits have been increased again. Surf at least 65 sites and find even more credits when you answer the verification question correctly. Hey, we give you the answer…lol

Time to login and surf, grab those extra credits while they last: Login Here

Happy surfing, enjoy the extras! Gotta run for now, Cowboys and Packer game is about to start, don’t want to miss that one, should be a good game.

Is your site being seen?

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Welcome to all the recent members that have joined us. Thanks for your support and trust in Soaring4Traffic.

Thought today, I would answer a question that many have asked recently, concerning certain sites not getting an equal amount of traffic as some of the others you might be advertising.

You see I feel that it is my duty to not only provide the best advertising platform that a traffic exchange can provide but also provide you with information to get the best results from your efforts.

Many of you are advertising affiliate sites that have audio/video that a great percentage of our members do not wish to see again. Not going to name programs, but you probably already know which ones I’m talking about.

You see, when members have the option (and you do at Soaring4Traffic) to not view sites with auto playing audio and or video, they choose not too. When they have seen the same annoying video or heard the audio zillions of times, it really is a turn off. Sure there are places to advertise these sites, but not as a direct view in a traffic exchange. Do they get traffic exchange members attention?

Yes they do, but mostly in a negative way. If you annoy, will they buy or join your program? Not likely. Think about this for a second, most people surf at least 4 or 5 exchanges in tabs at a time. If they choose to have their sound turned on, it is possible for them to hear several audios blasting at once. Very annoying and frankly not very effective in traffic exchanges.

Now I’m going to take this even further by saying that advertising any affiliate page that everyone else is advertising is not going to show you the results you expect. Being different, personalizing your ads is and has proven to be the very best way to use traffic exchanges. Using quick loading splash pages or lead capture pages to build your list is the true road to success in online business.

If you’ve been online any length of time, you’ve heard this over and over, yet we still continue advertising affiliate sites? Hey, I was the same way, did it for over a year with no results to speak of until it finally sunk in to my thick skull. All I’m trying to do here is save you countless hours maybe months of wasted time and money that you don’t need too.

Okay, like me, first thing you say is, well I don’t know how to build a splash page and personalize it, right? I know, said the same thing myself. Thing is you don’t have to know how anymore, there are programs that you can use without even having your own website. Look in the “Resource” section on the main page of this blog. Little program listed there, Splash Page Maker. Sure, it will cost you around $10 per month, but hey much cheaper than a hosting account, building/designing your own site, etc.

Okay, you don’t want to spend $10? Question is, do you want to continue without results? So okay, maybe you don’t have an extra $10 a month to spend, however you should start to realize that making it online is not going to happen the free route like many have promised you. These are just hard facts that sooner or later you will find out, why not now before the wasted efforts.

There is a program that I use sometimes that is free if you wish to try your skills at using splash pages. It’s called Instant Squeeze Page Generator. You can use it for free, but of course it also has a special offer if you wish to gain more benefits. Most all online programs to receive full benefit are this way, so nothing unusual about that.

Look, my goal is not to discourage anyone, but I do feel that as loyal members I owe you the facts. All the programs either listed on these blog links or in your main downline builder are there for a purpose. They are tools of the trade that I personally use and feel would improve, if added to your arsenal, your success online. Again, only if you use them! All were chosen because they come equipped with detailed training that you just can’t get from all the ebooks online.

Take Affiliate Funnel for instance (in blog resource box and downline builder), not only does it allow you to add and advertise your programs but comes equipped with training, online conferences, and even an email follow up series you can add to your own auto responder to build your own list.

Whether you use any of my suggestions is irrelevant, but the point is, start using something other than generic affiliate pages to advertise. My business is Soaring4Traffic.com! Hopefully providing information, suggestions on tools will in fact show you much better results from your efforts by using us in your advertising. Therefore making you a much more loyal and active member. That is my goal, not to just deliver hits, but to make them meaningful and prosperous for you!

Okay, enough on the soap box today…hope some will sink into your head though… :)

Thanks for reading this far, I’m going to be giving away 1,000 credits today. First 20 members that post a comment here will each get 50 credits. You might also want to consider the extra bonus credits being given away on your surf bar. Doubled and tripled at times throughout the entire weekend. Grab’em while you can. :)

Oh, if anyone has had good results from advertising an affiliate page, especially one with auto playing audio or video, would like to hear your results as well.

Thanks for listening and especially thanks for being loyal and active members! We are over 4500 strong now and growing! :)

Todays Announcements

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Couple of quick announcements for today!

First the surf ratio’s have been increased again and will remain that way through Thanksgiving Day tomorrow at least.

Good time to get in some extra surfing, take advantage of the increased ratios, plus the bonus credits will more than likely rise again should the activity warrant. :)

On another note, found what I believe might be a diamond in the rough. Not many people have seen this yet, so might be a great opportunity to get some referrals while it’s still on the down low.. :)

It is a new “Pro” only traffic exchange, which means there is a cost to join. Well it’s $10 for a one year subscription, less than 3 cents per day. But that’s only part of the story!

This program owner is paying 80% commissions for any upgrades or credit purchases. {Not on the $10 subscription}

Now here is the little hidden gem you should know about. After you sign up, first you get 100 credits after you surf a minimum of 5 sites. After activating you account, click the upgrade page. Find the link that reads Click here to extend your upgraded membership

What that will do is open up options for even more benefits. I took the Pro 5 option which is $6 per month, which translates to approx 20 cents per day. This option will award you with another 1500 credits added to your account immediately. That is a very cheap price for so many credits, plus you get the upgraded options that are attached. :) For instance a 1:1.25 surf ratio, random referrals, etc.. Very nice benefits for such a low price.

Don’t forget the 80% commissions for anyone your refer that upgrades or purchases credits. This program has been kept fairly quiet until now, so my idea is if you would like to make some extra holiday spending money and feel you can refer others, this is the opportunity before everyone else finds out about it.

To my knowledge no one has been invited to JV with these promotions, including me, just happen to find out about it from a friend. If interested this would be my link to sign up and get started: The Members Pro Traffic Exchange Check it out for yourself! :)

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving! Time to be with family and friends, know I will. Enjoy your day!

1000 Credits just Awarded

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Time to award and announce the weekly top 5 most accurate clickers, but only if they surfed more than 300 pages in the last seven days. :)

What is really surprising this week, we had more than ten members with better click accuracy than the winners listed below. However, they did not meet the minimum requirement for pages surfed this week? Four or five of them only need to surf at least another 10 pages or so to win this week.

What is really astonishing is that 3 members surfed more than 200 but less than 300 with 100% accuracy! Wow, now that’s kewl, but rules are rules, you must surf 300 sites to qualify. :(

Now for the WINNERS! Also bet they racked up a ton on extra bonus credits this past weekend…lol

1. rgwconsulting — 99.39% accuracy — 200 credits awarded
2. notyet4u — 99.38% accuracy — 200 credits awarded
3. ahaile — 99.22% accuracy — 200 credits awarded
4. peterlee — 99.14% accuracy — 200 credits awarded
5. alcrews — 99.11% accuracy — 200 credits awarded

As you can see, all winners this week qualified for 200 credits each by surfing more than 500 sites this week. Congratulations to all of you and best of luck to everyone this coming week.

Stats have been reset, new contest is already under way!

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Past Week News and Updates

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

First a huge Welcome to all the many new members we’ve had join this past week. We hope you see the benefits and enjoy your membership as members of Soaring4Traffic. Thanks to all the members for your recommendations and assistance in referring these new members.

Speaking of members, we have just rolled over the 4300 mark and getting stronger every day. Can we reach 5000 by the end of 2007? Of course it will be difficult, but certainly not impossible. Don’t forget as my efforts increase, so do random referrals. I do not use a referral url for S4T advertising, so all new members get placed randomly under upgraded Soaring Eagles!

Just so you know, we also had over 116,000 page views this past week and our unique percentage was well over 50%. AWESOME, Keep up the good work! You truly do Soar with Eagles!

As you refer others to S4T, keep in mind they will receive a OTO for a lifetime or yearly upgrade. Should they take advantage of these huge discounts, you will be paid on those actions. You will of course still receive benefits referring others with bonus credits plus a percentage of all the surfing they do.

This weekend we had a huge amount of activity and surfing. Due mainly to the increased surf ratios and extra bonus credits being offered. What’s more important is that more sites went into rotation therefore keeping the overall balance and effectiveness awesome. So since everyone has been doing so great with this, it will continue for the next few hours or until midnight tonight, CST. Hope you enjoy and rack up those extra credits.

Remember that tomorrow night we also evaluate the click accuracy contest and award the top five winners with extra credits. :)

Throughout the coming week, surfing bonuses, ratios, and other options for surfing activity could be raised any time. Keeping sites in rotation, members surfing always brings about more rewards to all. Be sure you check in often, surf some, and keep your sites in rotation 24/7.

On a personal note, am currently working on a new project that I think most of you will really like and just might be interested in from some of the questions and polls I’ve been conducting in forums, etc.

Speaking of forums, why not drop by the Soaring4Traffic forum located in the Members Forum. Drop by, say hello, stay in touch, ask questions or make comments any time. We encourage all members to participate in forums, unbelievable benefits.

For those still not aware, The Talon, our html newsletter is now a monthly issue to be published in the first week of each month. This blog is our most up to date news between issues. We will rotate it occasionally as the first page you see when starting your surf session. In other words by logging in, surfing some you will get the latest news right before your eyes. :)

As you were made aware we added two new exchanges to the Soaring4Traffic traffic exchange list this past week, have a few more we are still testing and likely to add them within the next week or so. Keep checking back often as they could be added anytime. This of course allows them to be added to your main surf console after adding your referral ID’s.

4×4 Hits and Pro Traffic Shop got a new owner/partner this past week. Yep, he’s only 2 years old. Dan has already placed his photo image on the sites so you can check him out. :) Both are in our traffic exchange downline builder for easy access.

Hit2Hit launched a very unique new benefit for it’s upgraded members. If you are upgraded with Hit2Hit and keep your credits assigned to your sites, you will have your personal site urls rotated in over 25 other exchanges for free. Hey, what a benefit for only doing what is normal for active members! Congratulations to Franscisca for this new idea, awesome benefit. Hit2Hit is also in your traffic exchange downline builder, so check it out, join and upgrade if you wish to benefit from her generosity. :)

Jon Olsen added several new benefits to some already awesome programs this past week or so. Both I Love Hits and Swat Traffic now have a new system whereby you can “rate” other members sites as you surf. Pretty cool idea. So if you want to have opinions from other surfers on your site or splash pages, would be a good idea to advertise with both.

Always love to see new benefits and options added to traffic exchanges. As an industry we continue to grow and become more and more effective.

Last but certainly not least, Dan Moses and Mark Brown recently released their new Unstoppable Traffic Ecourse. This is a no holds barred to the point 5 email course on more effective traffic with the details of what you need and how to do it. Also allows you the opportunity to rebrand this course to build your own subscriber list. Sign up free for all the details here..

So much is happening in the TE world, will cut this short for now and keep you posted more throughout the week. Don’t forget to login, check your stats, do some surfing and enjoy the increased ratios and extra bonus credits while they last.

To all those that celebrate Thanksgiving, hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday! We truly do have much to be thankful for each and every day!

Bless you all!

2 Exchanges Added

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Yes, you read that correctly. Two new exchanges have been added to our Traffic Exchange downline builder. Like we don’t have enough already?

Two reasons for their addition. First and foremost is the results I’ve seen from the tracking provided by ProTrackerPlus. Second reason is even more important, members request. :)

We have just added MaxTrafficPro and WhirlWindTraffic to our traffic exchange list. This will allow you to enter your referral ID’s and have them automatically added to your main surf console. So, if you are already a member, just login, add your referral ID right away. If not a member and feel you need to add more traffic, sign up from the join link provided.

If you’ve already been surfing both and had to add them to your “My Own Programs” page, now you can delete them from that page and by entering your referral ID have them show up on your main Surf Console. Remember to click the update button located at the bottom of the page after any additions or changes.
If you haven’t been using the Soaring4Traffic surf console, well, let’s just say you don’t know what you’re missing.  :)
Hope you enjoy great benefits and results from both.

On another note, the surf bonuses are still flying high. Be sure you don’t miss out on the extra bonus credits while they are available. This changes many times throughout the day, so surf some and grab yours.

That’s all for Today, keep Soaring with Eagles!

Weekly Winners and more..

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

First a great big welcome to all the new members joining us this week. We hope you benefit greatly from your membership, stay active with us and offer your suggestions to make Soaring4Traffic the very best traffic exchange online. Over 4100 members now!

This past week, we’ve been giving away thousands of bonus credits without much notification. Increasing the bonuses when possible, decreasing, then raising again. We certainly want to reward those that remain active with as many extra bonus credits as possible.

We cannot impress enough the importance of actually viewing your fellow members sites in rotation. So much to be learned from viewing other sites. Keep up with what’s new, who is running a special and what new report might be available for download. Also, don’t be afraid to enter your name and email address for some of these reports and marketing courses being offered.

If you find later, it’s not for you, quite simple to unsubscribe. Use your surfing as a learning session. Get ideas, grab the free reports, see what others are doing that really peak your interest. If it’s new on the Internet, you WILL find it on traffic exchanges. :) Don’t forget to keep branding yourself and building your own subscriber list. Two of the most important uses for traffic exchanges.

Monday Night Winners and more…

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Before I announce this weeks winners, just wanted to thank everyone for their participation in this little contest. Might find more ways to add to this option soon. :)

Wanted to also Welcome all new members this week, many joining at record pace. The Talon our html newsletter has been changed to a monthly schedule instead of weekly. Using this blog for updates has proven to be much faster, plus gives you the opportunity to respond, leave your comments etc.

Since the holiday season is almost upon us, wanted to ask for your help in something where I opened my big mouth, spent lots of money and need to get out of hot water.. :) Short story behind this is, a dear friend and I also partner in an offline gift shop, small but does very well as a part time venture to keep us busy. At least that was the original idea. Anyway, she does really well with the shop so I opened my big mouth about adding a website and advertising online. :)

Wow, if you think online marketing is tough, try competing with a gift website. .. lol Anyway, talked her into a top notch first class website with all the bells and whistles, but costs were extreme. Sales to date have not been so great after online for more than a year now. Barely pays for merchant account minimum and hosting fees…lol Me and my big mouth!

Now the site has over 3,000 items for sale, huge site, updated daily with secure credit card processing etc.

Here is my offer to Soaring4Traffic members. If you create an account on the site, will plug all of you into what is called the wholesale discount, which runs somewhere in the neighborhood of 47% off regular price. Of course since this is merchandise that has to be shipped, only members that reside in the US are eligible. Shipping costs are prohibitive and ridiculous to ship outside the US. Canadian members might also take a look, shipping costs are not to bad to your location. We simply pass on the shipping costs, no additional profit there.

If any of you have offline shops or feel you might be able to resell these items for some extra income, the discount should allow you some pretty good margins to do so. Those interested can register an account here:
CMGifts-Usa.com Wholesale Membership

After registering, give me a few hours to set up your account manually to take advantage of the discounts. After setup is complete, you will be able to login and see your actual cost on each item…and there is a lot of choices. :)

You might notice on the home page, the Soaring Eagle logo? Just to let you know, it is a division of Creative Measures which is our registered company name, owned by me! :)

For members living outside the USA, you still have an opportunity to make some minor profits from this site, albeit not a lot, but we do have an affiliate program installed and pay 10% of any products sold through your affiliate link. Not a huge percentage for sure but profit margins are rather thin…lol

So point is, if ya want to get me out of hot water and maybe find some nice gifts, shipped direct to your front door, register an account and go crazy. :)

Enough on that…Here are this weeks most accurate clickers:

1. peterlee — 99.43% accuracy — 200 credits awarded

2. cathy500 — 99.38% accuracy — 100 credits awarded

3. twaugh — 99.23% accuracy — 200 credits awarded

4. stratosphere — 99.22% accuracy — 200 credits awarded

5. hdrules — 99.13% accuracy — 200 credits awarded

Congratulations to this weeks winners!

Good luck to each of you this week, new contest has already begun.
