HELLO FELLOW SPLASHERS 
Welcome to Splash News 23. We've had another interesting week with massive surf activity and a $1,000 giveaway for 4th July. The Referral Race is run, with 18 winners and Referral Lotto is going great guns. HitExchangeNews ranks us at 3 this week, Traffic Hoopla ranks us at 16. 

There are now 7,133 of us Splashing around and I'd like to give an especially wet and sloppy welcome to the 305 new Splashers who have joined in the 8 days since our last News. I hope you get great results from your ads and I hope you enjoy splashing as much as I am!

$1,000 GIVEAWAY
Our £1,000 Giveaway on 4th July was a great success with 200 $5 mystery prizes up for grabs. Masses, and I really mean masses, of you surfed like crazy and I hear that response rates were even better than usual that day as the mystery prizes were hidden in with normal pages. I will be repeating this sometime later in the year.  There is an event that's close to my heart coming up soon and we may repeat it then. Watch this space ......

FAST EASY UPDATE
Just a snippet, a fast update, to keep it easy. Our new partner exchange is growing by leaps and bounds and broke into the top 100,000 sites in the world according to Alexa a few days ago. Check it out here. 

TRAFFIC-SPLASH - TESTED FOR EXCELLENCE

REFERRAL LOTTO UPDATE
The contest is in full swing and anyone can win. Every verified referral will earn you one ticket in the draw on 18th July. Check out all the prizes and the contest details here    

SEVEN UP SURF SURPRISE
So, we already gave  away Double Bonus Page Credits for three days to celebrate reaching 7,000 members. Now for something a little different. I want to give an extra reward to those who put in the most effort and so if you surf 250 pages on any three out of the next seven days you will win entry to a prize draw on 16th July. The prizes are a secret but I can guarantee you will like them! 

FREE PASSIVE REFERRALS
Since I discovered I can change the message on our Traffic-Splash rotator we are bringing in even more referrals and surf activity has leapt even higher as people surfing elsewhere are reminded how good it is to surf Traffic-Splash. This could really make a difference to your team building activities as I am able to mention different benefits or offers daily. So, advertise your primary business inside a Traffic-Splash rotator and your team here will grow without you even trying. Check out what it says today here.

NEW SITE CHECKER
We've been testing the new Hits Connect site approval system and I'm really pleased to say it has performed perfectly. It will even reject your site if it shows up 404 errors. This adds so much to our site security. When you enter a new url this is basically what happens:

Step One: your site is checked against our ban list.
Step Two: (happens instantly after Step One) your site is checked by the Hits Connect checker we have installed on our server. This checks for iframes, framebreakers, other nasties, 404 errors and looks up their ban list. This also checks every site within a rotator.
Step Three: (happens when you click Check) your site is double checked by our system for framebreakers etc and if all is OK it goes into rotation. 
Step Four: we have a framebreaker mod in rotation that allows you to report every framebreaker to Deeds or I instantly. 
Step Five: You! If you spot any site that breaks our terms while you are surfing please report it. Very occasionally something will creep through and so we need your help too. We will reward you with credits for every good site report that you send in. 

SUMMER SPECIAL TESTING
I'm planning a big promotion in August and I really want to maximise the results for you (and me too, of course). So, I will be sending some sample offers to select groups of you for the rest of this month to get your opinions on what you think works best. Please let know what you think - you will be doing your fellow Splashers a huge favor. Thank you.

FREE TRAFFIC-SPLASH TUTORIAL
Is this yet another download that doesn't add any value to you? Well, I think you know me better than that. We finally have our own Traffic-Splash tutorial. This was written by David Congreave of The Nettle for us a while back but technical issues delayed it's arrival for you until now. All new members will receive a copy in their welcome email and I will be promoting this heavily elsewhere too. But that's not the whole story, in fact it's not even the best bit ....

This book is viral. In other words you can rebrand it and replace all the links with your own. Hopefully that will give you more passive income. Here is the ebook and here is the rebrander. If you need any help at all in explaining how to use these please just ask.
