Hello fellow
Splashers. Sorry this newsletter is a little late well, VERY late!
We've had a hacker problem on another site which has caused us all
sorts of fun and I kinda got myself waylaid chatting to a few
customers yesterday in the Affiliate
Funnel conference room. Once I
start I just can't stop! Katrina, Pam, Steph and Pat.
Thank you, I had a blast! There are now 2,958 of us Splashing around
and
I'd like to
give an especially wet and sloppy welcome to
the 209
new members who joined this week. I hope you will enjoy Splashing as much
as we are!

WHAT A HOOPLA!
Just in
case you didn't already notice. We made it into Traffic Hoopla's Top
40 this week. Yeeha!
I never
thought we would be rated so early - I mean we only relaunched 10 weeks
or so ago.
Hoopla
provides such a valuable service in providing traffic rankings in a
hard, statistical and most of all unbiased format. Zero percent opinon
here. No
system is perfect and I like a bit of opinion too (about 75% is good for me!) but I love, I mean I really love stats. I always
check Hoopla to validate anyone's opinions. Here are Hoopla's current rankings.
There
is no reason to assume we'll fall back out of ratings but we're a young
exchange so it won't worry me if we do. We'll be back in very quickly
as we're growing so fast and delivering good traffic. We won't know
either way till Tuesday, that's when the rankings are
released and the numbers decide everything.
To be
Hoopla rated is a great thing. Hoopla brings us lots more
members and brings you lots more page views. If you
want to help keep Traffic-Splash in Hoopla then please just keep
surfing exactly as you have. You got us there. You made those numbers
happen.
We
thank you.
CAN I GIVE YOU 300 CREDITS?
We
are on the verge of reaching 3,000 members. If you refer member number
3,000 you will win 300 credits, and so will they. We will award smaller
prizes for the referrers of people either side of the 3,000 mark too.
Get your splashes out there! :)
SURFBAR CHANGES
The
surfbar now shows Pages Viewed Today instead of reseting every time
you logout. This will make it much easier for all of us to check when
we've qualified for Surf Rewards.
We
think we've solved the 100 page issue and line 83,84 issues which affected a few members too. If this or anything else is still
causing you difficulty please
let us know.
Programmers
are a little elusive in this biz because the top quality guys are so
much in demand but we will sort every single issue you
throw at us. No matter how long it takes.
CAN I GIVE YOU 10,000 CREDITS?
I
have to thank Binky Melnik for this idea. Thank you Binky :)
We
want to see your splashes. We want you to come up with
your designs to promote Traffic-Splash. We want something
original and different. Preferably a splash that brands you as
well as us. We want to see your photo's out there. The most successful
people in this business brand themselves so we want you to brand YOU.
So,
what do you get for having fun playing with graphics on your PC? Our
undying respect and admiration. We will love you forever. Oh, and we
might just reward you with 10,000 credits too.
We
will give all members a chance to vote (privately) for
their favourite splash and the winner will
earn 10,000 credits, 2nd place will earn 5,000 credits and 3rd will
earn 2,000 credits. In addition.....
Every
single splash you enter will earn you a prize that I don't
think has ever been offered in a Traffic Exchange before. I'm not
spilling the beans tho, only the winners are going to know what that
prize is!
A
couple of requirements: your Splash must fit in with
our watery theme and you must show our Dolphin mascot. Helpful
hint: I love Button 1 on the Promote Banners Page so if you
want my vote......
SPLASH SUPER SEVEN
Here's
a little something I like to share each week to help you with your
advertising. These exchanges are the ones
that have resulted in the most signups to Traffic-Splash from my
personal advertising in the last two months. I'm not
playing favorites in any way. This list is purely based on the data,
and I've excluded JackTenForty to
further avoid any favoritism.
We advertise heavily in these exchanges and have created brand
awareness that you can benefit from. If you are promoting
Traffic-Splash
then I highly recommend you use these exchanges.....
1. DragonSurf
2. ILoveHits
3.
TrafficRoundUp
4. SWAT
Traffic
5. StartXchange
6. Savvy
Clicks
7. RoyalSurf
REWARDS
In
case 50% commissions etc aren't enough to incentivise you to build a
Traffic-Splash team we offer you more. Congratulations to englishegg who wins a free random referral as I saw his splash while surfing last week. Thanks for promoting Traffic-Splash Steve.
This
week we are doing something different as we gear up for a major
promotional push. If I see you promoting a personalised Traffic-Splash
page you WILL win 10 credits. Doesn't sound much? Let me clarify, EVERY
single time I see your splash you will win 10 credits. I've just told
you up above where I surf most of my clicks. Surf your mouse off
and you'll win enough credits to buy you a new one!
Despite
the late newsletter you've not missed out on your Weekend Surf Bonus.
Surf Ratios were increased Saturday morning (UK time) and will go back
to normal first thing Monday. If you
keep
increasing
your surf during the week, we will keep saying thank you at the
weekend. Don't forget that we give HUGE surf rewards all week long as
well. Check them out here. Keep on Splashing!
SAFE SURF
I have
to thank Cat Heiter for teaching me this a little while back. Cat
is traffic exchange admin extraordinaire. Thank you Cat :)
One of
the real benefits of a Splash Exchange is that we are not often hit by
viruses and stuff. That's a big reason I bought this biz. I wanted to
surf here all day long. However, I like to be extra careful.
I practice Safe Surf, so to speak.
If you use Firefox I strongly recommend that you install NoScript. This free
extension stops all those dirty scripts running whenever the
surfbar opens up a new site. You just need to ensure you allow the
traffic exchanges to run scripts or the surfbar won't work. It's not
complicated tho, if I can use it I can pretty much guarantee you can
too.
I
LOVE NEWSLETTERS!
Well
the fact I love newsletters ain't exactly breaking news but this free
service is!
Last
week I spotted a great new service that is certainly innovative,
definitely interesting, incredibly informative and very relevant to us
Splashers.
See what you
think
TRAFFIC
TRIVIA
Sorry I'm
not able to announce the winner of last week's contest yet. The detail
is in the database which got hacked so I'll announce that next
week after the database is restored.
This week's question is......
"This
little gizmo doubles the credits you earn from surfing" That sentence
is written within your Traffic-Splash members area. Which program am I
talking about here?
If
you'd like to
win 200 credits then send your answer here.
We will choose one lucky winnner. It could be you!
Thanks once again for all your
support. It is truly appreciated.
I'm having a great weekend. I hope yours is as good as mine
and I hope you have a great week.
Happy
Splashing!
