HELLO FELLOW SPLASHERS 
Welcome to Splash News 31. I hope you had a fantastic holiday season and we all wish you a truly happy New Year.  

What a difference a year makes! Just over a year ago Traffic-Splash was an average exchange delivering 10-15 hits per url per day and few more than 100 people a week were surfing. And now? 

We deliver around 200 hits per url per day, regularly see 100 people surfing at any single moment in time, and thousands are surfing each and every week.

A year ago we had 1,548 members. And now?

There are now 15,378 of us Splashing around. I'd like to give an especially wet and sloppy welcome to the 2,021 new Splashers who have joined in the last month. I hope you get great results from your ads and I hope you enjoy Splashing as much as I am!

A year ago Traffic-Splash wasn't recognised as a major exchange by anybody. And now? 

Today, we received our highest ranking to date from Traffic Hoopla as we jumped to number 3 top ranked traffic exchange in the world!  We remain number one in Traffic Exchange List and Hit Exchange News ranks us at number four this week. These high rankings are all due to your support and your activity. Thank you for all you are doing and please, just keep doing it! 

Fancy a trip down memory lane? This brings back some memories Splash News 1.

Oh, before I forget - there is a special prize link hidden somewhere in the text below - the first 10 readers to find it will each win up to 10 SplashPoints

HUGE NEW YEAR GIVEAWAY
Hey guess what? A year ago there were no Surfer Giveaways either. The first $1k Giveaway Day was at Traffic-Splash,  then we included FastEasyTraffic for the next few promotions, then we teamed up with five of my friends to give you the $5k Giveaway for my Birthday and now?

It gets better .....

We have a HUGE New Year Surfer Giveaway which starts today and runs through to Sunday January 6th. We've teamed up with I Love Hits, Dragonsurf, Hit Safari, Advertising Know How and of course Fast Easy Traffic to give away masses of prizes for the rest of the week. 

You can win referrals, credits, text ads, banner ads, splashpoints, ebooks, software, upgrades, startpages, and other stuff I forgot about. Join all 6 exchanges here to take full advantage. 

You'll see that the links above are all admin links - not my personal links. All six owners are advertising heavily for random referrals for our Pro Members this week. Between us we bring in well over 1,000 new people to our exchanges each and every week and this week will be HUGE so could there be any better time to upgrade?

We've also prepared a Splash Page for you that we know will convert highly and bring you lots of referrals. This is an example and login to get your copy here

ADMIN REMINDERS
Surf Rewards Good News. Just in case anyone missed it you can no longer lose when you play the Bonus Page Game. I hated that 'loser message' which you see often elsewhere so here at Traffic-Splash it is gone! If you don't win bonus credits, you will now win SplashPoints instead! OK, hands up - who just clicked that link cos they thought it was the SplashPoints Prize Link? Keep on reading. heeheehee ....

Surf Rewards Bad News. In the last few weeks we have noticed more people trying to claim surf rewards several times a day, or even when they have not surfed. I'm not reducing the prizes for the rest of you because of a few cheaters and so we've improved our admin area to ensure this can't happen any more and I have added an additional sentence to the Surf Rewards page ...

If you attempt to claim for more than one Surf Reward in a day you will only receive the first claim for 100 pages only.

I hate red tape so we will enforce it with those of you who ignore our polite requests not to cheat your fellow members. 

Reminder: please do not use Live Sales Agents popups in Traffic-Splash. Popups that require a click to close frustrate and annoy your fellow surfers. They will cost you sales. They are banned in Traffic-Splash and all quality exchanges.

PAYPAL UPDATE AND HELPFUL HINT
Some of you may have noticed that Paypal subscriptions were delayed this week. It seems that Paypal's system caught up with itself last night and I believe all payments have now been received. I don't think anybody was downgraded in error before their payment came through to us but if so, please accept our apologies.

Do you have trouble managing all your paypal subs? Tim and I were checking out some stuff in PayPal the other day and Tim found a really cool new thing that could really help you. It's called Pay List. It lists out all your subs and gives you all the info you need to manage your finances. So so useful! You can find it Your Profile and then look for Pay List under Financial Informaton. It is really really easy to use.

ROVING ROTATOR BONUS
Each week I give away 200 credits to one lucky Splasher if I see their rotator while I'm surfing. This bonus was inpired by this fantastic testimonial for our Traffic-Splash rotator from Boruch Rappaport ....

Your words amaze me Paul because I didn't really refer her. My upline Paul Warren told me that by using Traffic-Splash's rotator I might get signups from the upper bar, but three signups in just two days!?! I really wasn't expecting that!

So, are you maximising the potential of your ads by using the Traffic-Splash rotator? My tracking shows that many of you are receiving "free" referrals from our rotators but many more haven't realised the potential yet. To see an example traffic-splash rotator click here and take a peek at the ad near the top. 

This week's winner is Candlescents so congratulations Sharla, 200 credits are on their way to your account.

To set up your rotator and grab your chance to win 200 credits please click here

LET'S TALK ABOUT TEXT
I love Text ads because they are a great opportunity for personal branding, you can be a little rude or shocking, you can be funny. The more creative, the better. I love looking at text ads while I'm Splashing. 

So, each week I award somebody 2,000 free text ads for the link I like the most. You have 26 characters to inspire, amuse, shock or just plain sell. If I like it you could win 2,000 free impressions and a free link in Splash News. 

Today's winner is vandrews for ** PUT THE SQUEEZE ON **!

Congratulations Vince, 2,000 text ads have just been added to your account. Click here to win 10 Splashpoints.

WHY DO I CARE HOW MANY MEMBERS ARE IN A TRAFFIC EXCHANGE? by Jon Olson
I have many reasons for this, but here are a few of them. Reason one, the obvious would be the more members means more eye balls seeing your web sites. You have a much bigger reach in the massive traffic exchanges and these exchanges do the best job at attracting new members. So it means a constant flow of new surfers (and active members) viewing your sites.

Now before the lynch mob comes to take me out, let me explain something. I am NOT saying you should not surf the smaller membership exchanges, in fact I spend a good deal of time and money in exchanges with less than 5000 members. However! And this is a big however, the growth rate of that exchange should something you want to have a good grip on. For example, in every issue of I Love Hit's newsletter I divulge a lot of information most exchanges wouldn't dare to share. The biggest one, and I let this be known for a purpose, is the amount of new members that are coming through the doors each week. I love this stat and would be absolutely floored if all traffic exchanges did that. Why?

Because everyone wants to claim they are 'for the members' well that number right below this article is the biggest 'for the member' service a traffic exchange can offer. More members means an owner is busting their tail and the membership in said exchange is busting their tails to bring new surfers into the mix. Wow! Think about that the next time someone wants to throw the 'for the member' speech down your throat. Plain and simple, more members means more surfers looking at YOUR web pages. The more people looking at your pages week in and week out, means better results.

I love numbers! I love to let the membership of ILH know that a few hundred new members joined them this week. That is the number I look at when I want to find out exactly how a T.E. is run. Demand that from all owners of your favorite exchanges and I can guarantee you, the ones that do the best to bring in the most active members, you will see the best results!
