The Big Hype About Big Traffic Exchanges

Hello Everyone...

Well today i am going to talk about something that happened to my partner Michael Picard.

If this upsets anyone im sorry but i have to get this off my chest.

Heres what happened, Michael has been a member to I Love Hits for about 7 months.

He was getting charged the last 2 months on 2 different upgrades middle weight and the heavy weight.

So Michael informed him of the problem and all he got was you had to of purchased both.

Well this was not the case.

He looked in his paypal and nothing about a middle weight subscription.

So in conclusion mike asked if he could just cancel both upgrades.

This is where it gets good.

Instead of cancelling out his upgrades.

Jon olson decided to take it on his own to cancel Michaels account.

Now he didnt ask to cancel his account just his upgrade.

This guy was nothing but a jerk about the whole situation.

I took it upon myself to call the toll free number and talk to him.

I left him a message and waited and im still waiting for a response.

Maybe im not important enough to him, I dont know.

So despite all this i have forgotten about it all.

Now i have came accross some newsletters he wrote and all i see this guy doing is talking down on smaller traffic exchange owners.

Well thats not good practice.

I thought these big guys are supposed to help everyone and not talk bad or even try to sell you everything there affiliated with.

So pretty much he trains these marketers not to join these smaller exchanges because they wont get the signups and targeted traffic that they supposably offer.

Well heres my experience.

I get more sign ups on the smaller exchanges than i do on the real big exchanges.

Now im not talking about all exchanges.

Just a select few.

Lets see, so this is what i did.

I purchased 10,000 credits at i love hits which i believe has 100,000 members or so and assigned 5000 credits to 2 different splash pages that have a great conversion rate

I thank scott douglas from traffic exchange profits for these pages.

Ok so i got 1 sign up. Pretty amazing huh..Not

Then i promoted these same splash pages on smaller exchanges.

horrormoviehits.com and easysurfexchange.com

Assigned around 1000 credits to 1 splash page on Horror Movie Hits

And 1000 credits to a splash page on easysurfexchange.com

All together got 7 sign ups.

Plus i get referrals in these exchanges like crazy.

So you do the math.

See i have been studying traffic exchanges for a few years now and my results come from the exchanges that have less people.

This is how i see it.

They say it takes a person to click on your splash page after they have seen it around 50 times.

Whats the chances of a site that has 100,000 members seeing you splash page 50 times

very slim.

Look the way i see it is its not good to talk down on the little guy.

They were little at one time too.

I read these newsletters and all they seem to say is how bad it is too join a small exchange or join traffic hoopla or affiliate funnel.

Now dont get me wrong these programs are excellent for building a downline.

But they all say the same thing.

They give advice on how not to join the smaller ones and join the bigger ones.

I believe the reason they do this is because theres tons of money involved

What ever happen to the concept of helping one another.

Just like you wont see The big exchanges helping out these smaller exchanges.

Why, Because there is nothing in it for them.

These bigger exchanges think that they have all the members but thats not the case at all.

I have been running windy city hits for 2 months now and already at 1,300 members.

I didnt have one of these huge promotions like some other exchanges.

I did this all by word of mouth and building a trusting relationship with my members.

All i see out of these big exchanges is give away a free incentive and sell sell sell.

Why cant for once they just give you something for free and not push you to purchase something.

I mean most of these big owners are already millionaires

Why be so greedy.

I give away free stuff all the time but dont ask members to buy anything unless they want too.

See in my opinion members should buy an upgrade or credits because they like your site or because they want too.

Not to be forced on them.

Also wheres the communication with members on these sites.

You have to read a stupid newsletter every week just to find out the latest info.

I say communicate with you members .

Open a chat room or something in that means

Maybe its not good for every exchange because of the high volume of members but take pride and care about your members.

All they do is hold seminars which is good for people to learn from.

But what about some 1 on 1 time.

Anyway dont mean to complain but i had to put this out there

Thanks everyone for reading this and if you ever need some 1 on 1 time just send me a suport ticket at windycityhits.com

Thanks
