Traffc Exchanges work

OK I'm convinced.

Traffic Exchanges work and work extremely well.
As an early new years resolution I decided to really put Traffic Hoopla to the test and test out their Top 5 ranked Traffic Exchanges.

At the time they were (and still are) Ezyhits4U, TS 25, Traffic Splash, Hit Safari & Webbizinsider.

One week ago to the day I upgraded to Pro status at the first 4 and coupled that withPro memberships of two of my favorite memberships at StartXChange and Traffic at he Races.

The whole package cost me $79 (Including a special 6 month deal at Traffic at the Races) and equates to no more than $50 per month.

I've nbeen stunned by the results in ten days I have had 22 subscribers to my email course, 15 enrollees in my downline builder program, 6 enrollees at Traffic Hoopla, 4 at Marketing Pond and my surf and free program downlines are growing as my new subscribers follow my instructions.

I have surfed for between an hour and three hours per day for 8 days, depending upon free time that I had available to me

And here's the good part - after 8 days I have recouped my initial advertising investment in direct paypal sales commissions and earned bonus commissions at several programs that pay after you reach a commission thresh hold. In short I'm ahead of my advertising budget after eight days - the next 22 are pure profit.

But it gets even better. Remember those 22 initial subscribers, well they're all receiving my special one on one training series, designed to help them build an income from scratch and as they follow the steps, I 'll receive more commissions.

Ethical, Smart and affordable - it's a good mix.

By the way I've posted a full review of Traffic Exchanges at www.profitsentinel.net/tx.htm

New reviews and some advice posted

It's taken a while, but I've finally got around to posting some new reviews at profit sentinel.

Marketing Pond is a unique concept that anyone can use to generate a tidy income. Read the full review here

I've also posted some practical advice that cuts through the hype of the on line circus. It's also available at the same site.

An interesting alternative to adsense

I have some concerns with relying upon Google adsense or anything like it as a viable income stream and have listed them below

1)You've had a visitor land on your site only to see them leave as soon as they click an ad and your reard? a few lousy cents. Yes I know some people claim that they make big bucks out of adsense - (invariably they seem to be the same people who claim to know the adwords secret - go figure that) and I do have Google adsense type ads on several of my websites, but I have never regarded them as being my major income earner.

2) Google take a very dim view of their ads being displayed on anything resembling a traffic exchange, paid to read, or safelist site, thereby limiting the ways you can drive traffic to your site.

3)Let's think about this - let's say you have a golfing website and on your sidebar is a Google text ad that reads improve your golf swing in seven days - so your visitor clicks on that and goes to a sales site that sells this "great" secret to improving your swing, he gets excited and buys the book for let's guess coservatively $32. The owner of the book gets maybe $9, the affiliate who placed the ad gets $23 and you get maybe 30c. Who did the work?
You did -you got the visitor, the visitor clicked on an ad at your site and two other people are laughing all the way to the bank.

Now I don't advocate using adwords or clickbank where most of these products are accessible unless you are prepared to lose a couple of hundred dollars to start with, and most people can't afford to do this, but I remember coming across a site that makes it possible to profit from clickbank profits without having to invest in advertising - its called Better Text Ads and you can check it out here

Here's how it works.

Better Text ads in its simplest form displays ads containing clickbank affiliate links on your site. Clickbank generally pays commissions on every sale that you make somewher between the order of 50% and 70% of the sale

You simply place a simple java script code on your site or blog, and the better text ads will be shown on your site. The first four visitors who visit the site every day will view your upline's ads - after that your ads with your clickbank affiliate link will be shown. And of course for every referral that you make to better text ads your ads will be displayed every day four times on your referral's website -

If you don't own a website there are alternatives at better text ads to utilse.

I believe tha Better Text Ads is a better alternative to Google becuase you will potentially benefit from any sales that are made from your website - of course I still believe that your web site should contain affiliate links embedded in your web site - banners from the Internet Marketing centre are great but better text ads is a good supplementary means of income

PS: Internet Marketing Centre's affiliate website is here
and there is a better text ad block at the foot of the page

So I wrote a report

I came back from holidays in January with a simple clear picture. I was going to write a simple list of Paid Survey sites and sell it on ebay for $5. So I started from scratch and did my research. After a short while - say two weeks I had a list of over 300 Paid Survey sites and maybe another fifty or so that were related in some form or other - it should have been a simple process, but in compiling the list I discovered a number of interesting things in relation to Paid Surveys and felt compelled to write a report on them. Seventeen pages later the report was ready to go and after another three weeks figuring out how best to sell it and in what format I launched the product which is available for $7 here I'm reasonably happy with it, and if you do buy it please leave some feedback

The best "program" on line

With all the hype out there, finding something that actually delivers is really hard work. A program that I joined upon Graham Hamer's recommendation is MPAM and while MPAM is not an overblown overhyped supermarketing capture page it delivers exactly what it promises. MPAM is an educational interactive website that among other things teaches members how to build search engine friendly niche websites that leverage income from a variety of sources, recommends a variety of affiliate programs that you can make money from, has a traffic engine second to none for people who want to try their hand at traffic exchanges, and a unique profit sharing program that enables everybody to profit. AND they pay $5 for each article submitted. oOu can read my full review here

I got lost for a while

My intentions with this blog were simple when I started ,but getting my website up to standard and running the way I wanted took longer than anticipated and I got distracted writing an ebook and as a consequence of that devised a profit generation system that is almost ready to go live (fingers crossed). I did promise to place a review of Graham Hamer's Profit Blaster program on line and did at my website. www.profitableandethical.biz/profitsentinel

Suffice to say, Graham is one of the few people that I trust on line and the program is a good one - why not check out my review at http://www.profitableandethical.biz/profitsentinel/blaster.htm - it's the real deal -but as Graham explains you have to be prepared to work hard and smart
