Hello fellow Splashers. What a great two weeks. Mr X arrives, we have massive surf activity, a huge referral contest running (well, two huge referral contests running now!) which means loads of new members to see your sites. And during all this, no downtime, our brand new huge and shiny server is performing heroically! I got a very special surprise on Saturday too. Have you ever Squidoo'd? Well, look out for a little news on that in a week or two.

We're still doing well in the rankings - number 8 in Traffic Hoopla and number 7 in HitExchangeNews. Both are great resources and well worth a look. Our rankings are all down to your surf activity, so thanks for all you are doing and please, just keep on Splashing!

There are now 6353 of us Splashing around and I'd like to give an especially wet and sloppy welcome to the 399 new members who joined in the last 13 days.
 I hope you get great results from your ads and I hope you enjoy Splashing as much as I am!

MEET MR X

Hey guess what, I’m not Mr X any more. I’m a real boy! My name is Tim Rash and I wondered if you might want to know a little more about me and how I’ll be looking after you. No? Well I’m going to tell you anyway.

I am the 27 year-old proud father of Rylee and a recent graduate of Iowa State University, majoring in Computer Engineering. I guess that makes me a computer nerd too, but Rylee and I do get out and see the real world sometimes. Honest!

I got into traffic exchanges in a strange way really. When I was at college I started a comedy website and needed traffic so I started using traffic exchanges. I discovered there are a heck of a lot of really poor exchanges out there so I thought why not try and do better. After all, I have a major advantage over most owners because I’m a programmer. I can develop new stuff and (the bit that takes most time) I can fix stuff when it gets bent out of shape!

I launched my new exchange just a few months ago. Well maybe stealth-launched is a better description because I discovered something. I’m not a marketer, and that’s where Paul comes in. Paul was looking to hire a programmer on retainer but we really hit it off and came to a realization. Paul is a technophobe and I can’t write! We figured we’d make perfect business partners and our customers get the best of both worlds. We now have the power to grow the exchanges fast and bring more eyeballs to your sites, plus we have the ability to develop new features for you too. I’ve been really surprised at how many ideas Paul has, that he hasn’t been able to introduce because of the lack of technical support before. This is going to be fun!

So what is my exchange? Well, it’s called FastEasyTraffic, where we make traffic easy. The surf is great, with lots of bonuses and with Paul around you can guarantee that’s about to improve too. We also have something no other exchange has got. My TrackerLinkX system can tell you exactly where all the signups to FET have come from. So, we take the guesswork out of all your advertising as you can easily see which exchanges work best. 

Oh, and talking of new features, we’re about to introduce dynamic surfing too, and I forgot to say we have set up a huge referral contest too. $1,000 plus is up for grabs and the top twenty referrers all win something!  

So if you like your traffic fast and easy, please come and join me.


X DAY REWARDS

Paul here again, I really hope you didn't miss out on X Day when we gave out triple surf all day long. I've never seen so many Splashing and I hope you got lots of new subscribers/signups or maybe made a sale or two. 

If you did miss out on X Day then never fear because the celebration continues! There will be extra surfing bonuses every single day, just login to find out what they are. We may even run another triple surf day, we shall see.... 

And how are you doing in our X Day Referral Contest? The leaderboard is here

We're also giving away 100 credits every single day. So far, the lucky winners have been Rustyrose, Cognigen, Tedholz, Bonus, Ktodary1, Prime, Mixerjim, Pengo225, Afanasym and Shawley. Congratulations to you all!

To stand a chance of winning all you need to do is bring in a new referral and your name will go into the draw for that day. Best of luck! 

Oh, if you haven't already seen it - you can get the full contest details here.


So, Which One Is Tim?

6,000 UP!

We passed the 6,000 member mark last week and now have over 6,300 Splashers.

Member number 6,000 is Jeanne07 referred by katbird08. So, fancy a surprise?

OK, congratulations, because you have both just won 6,000 text ads! 


SPLASH ON BLOG

Do you have a blog or a website? Do you ever write about traffic exchanges? 

Well, I stumbled across Mark Benjamin's blog a few weeks ago and this week I got a lovely surprise when I visited. Mark has reviewed Traffic-Splash. To see this and his other posts visit here 

I would love to see Traffic-Splash mentioned more out there so, if you have a blog, a website, a squidoo lens or whatever and you'd like to write about us please send me your link. I'll visit, add any comments and give you free publicity here too :)

SPLASH SUPER SEVEN PLUS ONE

These exchanges are the ones that have resulted in the most signups to Traffic-Splash from my personal advertising in the last two months. If you are promoting Traffic-Splash then I highly recommend you use these exchanges .....

1. ILoveHits
2. DragonSurf
3. TrafficRoundUp
4. Hit Safari                 NEW
5. Start Xchange 
6. Max Traffic Pro        NEW
7. 10k Hits 4 u Now      NEW 

Why Plus One? well, I joined a small exchange a few months ago to help out our ex-admin Armi and to be fair, I wasn't expecting great results as I really prefer to advertise in larger exchanges. Boy, have I been pleasantly surprised because Surf100Sites gets me great results. Traffic doesn't flow fast enough for it to make the Splash Super Seven but the conversion rate is really really good.

There is a second reason for mentioning this site too. They are about to reach 1,000 members and at that point their referral contest finishes. I noticed that one of our regular Splashers is on the leaderboard, so if you'd like to try out Surf100Sites please take a peek through Alan Bridgeman's link here.


REWARDS

Do you like 50% commissions? If I see you promoting Traffic-Splash when I surf then you have a chance of winning a mystery prize worth at least $10. This week's lucky clicker is Terrapin55. Congratulations Turtle (is that your real name?), your mystery prize is on the way. 

Surf rewards are way higher than usual due to X Day but don't forget we give HUGE surf rewards all week long and we now give you a choice too. Check it out here. Keep on Splashing!

TOP TIPS

These are just little hints to help you get the best out of traffic exchanges. Things we notice that often just don't go quite right  .... 

Did you know that can earn extra credits for reporting bad sites? Traffic-Splash is a very very clean exchange and we'd like to keep it that way. You can report any of the last 5 sites you view so if anything disrupts your surf in a material way please report it. We'd love to hear from you and we will reward accurate site reports.   


TRAFFIC TRIVIA

Well done Esuiker for answering the last little poser I set. Congratulations Eric, you win 100 credits for knowing that we have five traffic exchanges in our downline builder. Overall, there are ten programs, but only five exchanges. Apologies to anybody who was told 10 was te correct answer. I was too sneaky for Deeds as well with that one! So, this week's question is  ......

What do you win for finishing 35th in our referral contest and how many referrrals would you need to bring in before June 30th to win? 

If you'd like to win 100 credits please send your answer here. We will choose one lucky winner. It could be you!

IS THIS A SECRET?

So often you hear that there is some great secret to success and how many of us have ebook after ecourse after ebook only to find out you pretty much knew the info inside anyway? Well, there is one key thing that overrides everything online - online business is exactly like offline business - nobody succeeds in perfect isolation - it's not necessarily what you know, it's who you know. 

And you know one of the best ways to meet people with similar interests online? Yup, I'm gonna spout about forums again because they were so crucial for me.  Well, actually I'm not gonna spout because I got this email from Robert Puddy last week and I thought you'd prefer to hear from the man himself (please bear in mind this email is 6 days old) ......

Today at 10am eastern I'm going to be launching something that’s a little different. A new paid marketing forum.

Operative word their being Paid, it isn’t a free to join forum. If I still have you attention then keep reading I won’t disappoint you.

About 6 years ago I purchased a product from one Allen Says doesn't matter what the product was, what matters is what one of the bonuses was.

Entry into his (then) paid only forum The Warriors.

It made a big difference to my online career because it was paid only there were some big hitters and serious people in there most of em willing to help those who showed some promise.

As time went on, and due to the fact that a simple search engine search would bring people to the forum who hadn't paid the exclusiveness of it got diluted and those knowledgeable people moved on to escape the inevitable flaming and guru bashing that goes on amongst the masses when they think they are owed something.

Over the last 3 years or so I have been looking for the solution to providing a serious learning environment with knowledgeable people to help guide and educate those less fortunate in the business, without some of the downfalls most forums have.

The biggest one being the blind leading the blind, I have seen some horrendous advice given in forums which is greedily sucked up by people who then end up further out in the cold and getting increasingly frustrated.

Worse still when wiser older heads try to step in and tell the original advice giver how wrong they are a flame war starts with the wiser advice being drowned out in the noise.

10 days ago a light bulb went off in my head.

Yep just 10 days to put this whole new concept together, With My LFM script I could solve the problem of people getting in for free, that was the technical bit solved.

But what about the older wiser heads to make sure the advice given was good solid information.
How was I going to get the experts involved?
how was I going to make it so they had an environment where they could feel free to educate

Here is the light bulb flash

I recruited the experts first, I made them moderators of their own section they get to control the environment and make sure the advice you’re getting is correct, up to date and most important actionable.

I have 10 of them all experts in their own chosen field, no jack of all trades with wishy washy advice proven experts standing by and as excited as I am to bring you kick butt information.

There is a friendly rivalry already between the experts as to how much better their section is going to be than the others. Ten experts fighting over who is giving the best advice.

So I have built the rest of the team there is just one place left to be filled on the team sheet that’s you the user, I have ten experts waiting in line bursting to impress you (and each other) with the quality of the information in their section of the forum.

You have a 2 hour head start over the rest of the online community because I own the site and your one of my customers or subscribers.

Oh yes the price...

For the first 1000 just $10 a year, after that number is reached it goes up to $48 a year.

One more vital piece of information, I don’t get to keep any of the fees, It all gets paid out in commission to those that refer people to the forum 100% commission on everybody you tell and who joins our new group.

Thanks to Robert for letting me reproducer that here. Robert tells me just under 900 have joined the forum in these first 6 days so if you want to get in for just $10 a year now is the time to check it out


ARE YOU READY?

This is going to be an interesting week. Tomorrow Kevin Anderson's new program will be launching and, as I've been wandering around the members area watching it grow this last month or so, I think you can safely say that this is going to be massive. There is something for everybody, whether you are already big and successful or just getting started. You won't receive too many messages from traffic exchanges as there are only a few of us on the JV team, so please keep an eye out for my email :)

And on Wednesday there are two launches, well sort of. Gary Ambrose launches his new List Bandit and I've found something that runs alongside to really help you get the most out of Gary's new program which is a really cool bonus. 

In case you don't already know, Gary owns Your Lucky List, The List Machine and Email Aces amongst other things. Kevin started Cognigen, Ulimate Rep and Hit Gusher amongst other things.

Both programs will be massive and I will be using them myself. Strangely enough, I'll also be more than happy to tell you all about them on launch day too. Emails are coming :)


Thanks once again for all your support. It is truly appreciated. Have a Splashing week.
