OUT WITH THE OLD....
So, the full first prize did go. Many congratulations to all our top
referrers and thanks to everybody who contributed.
Special
mention must go to Kevin Anderson for winning top referrer in all three
exchanges and claiming a cool $500. There are a couple of people who
did really well using their own splashes too. I wonder if you
can spot
who :)
I'll
be contacting everybody about their prizes in the next day or two. Here

IN WITH THE NEW....
Now we celebrate Earth Day by teaming up with Surf4TheEarth
and TrafficPlanets for a new
referral contest. This
contest runs right through to May 27 and the top ten referrers will all
win prizes.
The
contest winner will win sponsorship to help protect an acre of
rainforest (as detailed here) AND a
$25 certificate from the Wildlife
Adoption Center to protect an animal of your choice,
or dolphin maybe? :)
If you
are placed 2nd to 5th you will win a $25 certificate
to protect an animal of your choice. If you are
placed 6th to 10th you will win a free upgrade, or credits if you are
already upgraded.
If you
win first place in all three exchanges, each of us will double
your $25 certificate to $50. So, a grand prize
of $185 for you to donate as you choose.
Each owner
will be promoting like crazy so I will continue to flood your
downlines with
random referrals. Assuming you are upgraded of course
:) Details here.
I wish
you all the very best with the contest and I hope I'm handing over a
prize
to you soon!

NEW DOWNLINE BUILDER PROGRAMS
Have
you noticed that I've deleted more than half the programs from our
Downline Builder? Well, that was
just the start of the job.
I've
got a cunning plan up my sleeve which could really help those of you
who take advantage of it. I'll tell you more about it on
Friday. Watch this space....
TOP TIPS
No links here, just advice.
If you
haven't heard about splash pages yet, I can guarantee you're not
getting
the results you should be from traffic exchanges. These pages are
fast-loading and grab the surfers attention. Almost every traffic
exchange owner uses them and recommends them. If these are the most
successful pages, which are the least successful? I'd
guess they
must be slow loading and do nothing to grab instant attention.
I
imagine that THE least effective pages you can possibly use
are those that forceload video because they load waaaay tooooo
sloooowly and while they're loading the surfer is left looking at a
blank screen. In addition, you will probably antagonise 35% or
so of users that still surf on dialup because you'll freeze their
screen. So, force loading video? good move? bad move? Well I
wouldn't waste my credits using it but I'm not a censor. Your call.
One
thing that is very definitely an incredibly bad move - using
Adsense sites on
traffic exchanges. Google has finally stated publicy
what has been known for a long time now. You WILL lose your
Adsense account if they catch you advertising on traffic exchanges. We
will remove any adsense site we see but please, don't risk it!
