Traffic Exchange Training - The Nettle


I've moved all of my blogging activity to The Lucid Blog.
You can visit my new home at:
www.thelucidblog.com


At the Focus 4 The Future seminar that I recently attended (sorry to keep going on about it), one of the things that struck me was how many people had no clue what a traffic exchange was.

I guess it's just one of those things that I've known about for a long time and just assumed that everyone else in internet marketing does as well.

So, it seems that the time is right to begin a series of articles on traffic exchanges via The Nettle. The series will include:

- What a traffic exchange is.

- How to setup an account.

- How to get the best results from your traffic.

- Why you should upgrade.

- Traffic Exchange ethics.

- Recommended traffic exchanges.

- Pro traffic exchanges.

- Related tools.

Throughout the series, we will be using new traffic exchange, ClicknPutt, as a case study.

ClicknPutt is usually $19.99 to join, but for a limited time, if you enter the word 'nettle' as the promo code, you can join for just $1.

I joined the 'ClicknPutt' traffic exchange today, only to find out that it is a complete SCAM.

Once a member has PAID to join, they will then be robbed of any quality page views or website visitors, because the have an area (Surf Center) in the member's back office that links to videos which show people how to cheat the traffic exchanges using a tabbed browser. Thus robbing you off the 'so called' quality visits that the member just paid good money to get.

As the admin off two traffic exchanges myself, I have to say that this is very unethical, morally wrong and could destroy the traffic exchange industry as a whole.

Instead of inviting people to signup to 'ClicknPutt', you sould be warning them against it.

I appreciate your comments, but if you polled TE admin and users I think you'd find opinion divided as to whether tabbed browsers are cheating or not.

It's very, very common for TE users to surf more than one exchange at a time and a tabbed browser simply makes this process easier.

My personal view is that surfing multiple exchanges at the same time is ok, as long as it's limited to 4-5 exchanges and as long as the user is still viewing ALL the pages that load.

I wouldn't, however, recommend using a tabbed browser as it does create the temptation to load an unwieldy amount of exchanges at the same time.

Whether you like tabbed browsers or not, people will continue to use them and others will even use even more unsavoury methods of TE manipulation.

It's the nature of the beast and is why TE traffic is lower quality than other traffic generation methods. It still gets results however and I'm confident ClicknPutt will be responsive as any other traffic exchange.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, David. I appreciate it.
