2008-01-28T06:57:00.000-08:00

CLICKS 4 EDUCATION is a TE that I use quite often. There are several appealing factors: outstanding customer service, a safe and fun surfing environment, surfing rewards, word games, splash points, the ability to have targeted traffic to your site(s) and the optional opportunity to donate credits/cash to your favorite school.

TRAFFIC EXCHANGES

2008-01-16T12:14:00.000-08:00

Traffic Exchanges are, as you already know, very important for promoting your business or programs. For the last several months I have been testing dozens of traffic exchanges and will be introducing them, one at a time, over the next few weeks.

Surf 4 The Earth is a truly unique traffic exchange; it offers a safe and fun surfing environment, one can earn splash points as well as extra credits, banners and text ads just by surfing. For a limited time the wonderful administrators are offering you a bonus of 50 credits for every 250 pages surfed. There is also a donations section, which is optional, so you can donate extra credits to some very worthwhile causes. Ranger Bob is there as your guide - http://www.surf4theearth.com/?rid=3883.

SURFING FOR CHARITY

2007-12-11T09:20:00.001-08:00

Seasons Greetings! During this wonderful season of good will and giving why not try surfing for charities? At Surf4theEarth you can do this PLUS your websites, banners, and text ads will be shown as well. As if that wasn't enough you can also win Splash Points and extra credits too - all for free! There are several different charities listed and you determine which ones to donate credits to and how many.

http://www.surf4theearth.com/promo_rotator.php?rid=3883

MY FAVORITE TRAFFIC EXCHANGES

2007-11-11T09:16:00.000-08:00

I belong to many traffic exchanges and this list represents the traffic exchanges I use the most. They are not listed in any particular order because I use and like them equally.

Many factors contributed to the final selection: how well they displayed my websites, banners and text ads; how much traffic I was receiving; the effectiveness and response time from each of the administrators, number and types of surfing rewards (i.e. bonus credits, banners, Splash Points) and last but certainly not least - these sites are fun to surf!

I have had occasion to be in touch with each of the administrators of these sites and have found them to be responsive, friendly and actively finding new and innovative methods to assist their members.

You can join all of these for free; I HIGHLY recommend trying them for free, and then you can always upgrade at a later date.

HERE'S THE LIST:

Special Offers - Traffic Exchanges

2007-10-29T09:16:00.000-07:00

When I joined HitWar (which I really enjoy using) they mentioned a special offer at Route 66 - a free 60-day pro membership which I joined. The great people at Route 66 secured THREE special offers from other traffic exchanges - the same offer as mentioned. If you haven't already done so, you should join HitWar - it's a great traffic exchange and you have the opportunity to "test drive" various exchanges and gain as much exposure for your business/programs as possible. Start with HitWar.biz today and take advantage of the great offers they have secured for you!

Treat Yourself Well!

2007-10-29T08:06:00.000-07:00

Since we all need to spend time sitting at the computer working on our businesses, surfing at various traffic exchanges and answering email it's easy to forget that we need to take care of something extremely important - our health! I promise I will not mention junk food or soft drinks - I would rather share with you some habits I have formed that were born out of not feeling well due to my sedatary job.

Approximately every 30 - 45 minutes I get away from the computer and get my body moving, whether it be stretching, doing some Yoga, housework, going for a walk, etc. Your body will feel better once the oxygen starts flowing to all your cells again and your mind and soul will feel nourished too! Sometimes I just like to go outside and enjoy the beauty of my own back yard.

Just two more items and then I promise I will stop. Drink plenty of water - I cannot stress enough how important it is to drink water throughout the day and don't make the mistake I did by eating a light meal or snack at the computer. It's surprising how much and how fast one can eat when they are not paying attention.

Back to work we go - I hope you all have a great day and remember, be kind to yourselves because YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Hit War Traffic Exchange

2007-10-21T09:45:00.000-07:00

I joined HITWAR.BIZ traffic exchange approximately one month ago and have been so impressed I upgraded my account. I cannot say enough great things about this exchange! They not only deliver the hits, they give bonuses for surfing, offer a "surf for cash" option, and have a very responsive and friendly administrator. In fact, if you join Hit War now, you are given the option of joining a new traffic exchange, ROUTE 66 with a FREE two month upgrade! Even if you join Hitwar.biz for free it is worth your time to try it and see if you aren't impressed too. Anyone who runs their own online business knows that the advertising budget has to stretch as far as possible - here is a great way to do it! Click this link and look around!

Surf 4 The Earth Traffic Exchange

2007-10-15T01:50:00.000-07:00

This is a very nice traffic exchange that will not only prevent you from being bored but it is also very unique - their mascot, the adorable Ranger Bob, is your "host" and they offer chances to win hits, have a fabulous banner package (they offer an OUTSTANDING banner package special - 50,000 banner links for only $5.00!!) plus they award splash points as prizes - overall it's just a fun way to drive traffic to your sites. Personally, I like the fact that I can donate surfing points to a variety of charities - which is optional. I would highly recommend trying them out for free and see if you don't find yourself surfing just a little bit longer!

http://www.surf4theearth.com/?rid=3883

Traffiic Bunnies

2007-10-13T14:10:00.001-07:00

Anyone who operates an online business knows the importance of having your site seen as much as possible - not only does this strengthen your business in the search engines but it can increase your sales. I belong to numerous traffic exchanges and will be offering information about the ones I enjoy the most - a few of them I have joined just for fun because as you know, surfing can become tedious so it's important to have a few exchanges that are fun for you to use!

Today I wanted to talk about Traffic Bunnies - http://www.trafficbunnies.com/?r=62189

It's fun to use, offers prizes for surfing, and they send you email notices if your sites are running low on hits. Try it for free and if you like what you see the paid memberships are very reasonable!
