William Brower Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 These are two things that I look for when determining if a Traffic Exchange is efficient. Will I get the true value for all of my clicks? If I am working with a 33% ratio, then I have to click 3 pages, just to get my page seen once. If this also has a 10 second timer, then I spend 30 seconds for one page view. I can not do business with these types of ratios. This is why we are debuting a new low cost traffic exchange. http://www.OneDollarTE.com For One Dollar a month, you get a 1 to 1 surf ratio and a four second surf timer! Plus, many more extras are thrown in, including MRR and PLR master kits to help you with your marketing goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bell Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Didn't you just say in another post you were doing 33% ratio? On the topic though (ignoring that it's blatant spam) a 33% ratio is a bit rediculous, but then again so is 30% commission.. seems like a waste of time imo with so many options out there it's easy to find one that is much more competitive and still effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brower Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey, I agree with you about a few things. Any plain surf ratio of 3 to 1 would be very Difficult to advertise on for any length of time. We initially were going to give a 2 to 1 to free Members and a 1 to 1 to all upgraded members. As I stated in another post, this was changed back from .5% ratio to .33% ratio. What was added, was a dynamic ratio that goes up to .99% for free members. I also think that 30% commissions for free members is more than fair, considering you can upgrade to 50% ratio for only a dollar. As for blatant spam, I completely disagree. Spam is multiple unsolicited messages, and not Individual advertisements on a forum designed for that very purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brower Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey John, I really appreciate your input. People can not evaluate a traffic exchange based on only the free members benefits. You must also look at what paid members get, and how much it costs. Since you seemed to happily berate my ratio, competitiveness and effectiveness, I would like to refute these accusations. 1. I agree, I don't have a traffic exchange where surfers are clicking 12 thousand times in a single day. But then again, I don't have an exchange where the times that they can click is the only thing that they are worried about. 2. Competitive is all about pricing TOO! I would say that my upgrade price of one dollar a month is VERY competitive compared to your sites 9.95 a month. That is almost One Tenth the price. Plus, my users get a 4 second surf timer and a 1 to 1 ratio. 3. Effective? I do not know how you can claim effectiveness numbers when you have never been at my exchange. Or are you just trolling? I don't usually see you stoop to such levels John, but I am not surprised. Many could say that your site is not effective, as many are only interested in tournaments and surfing competitions, and not advertising. But then again, I am glad there are different viewpoints in marketing, and thank you for bringing all of them up. If anyone else is thinking about evaluating Exchanges for Competitiveness and Effectiveness, please do so for yourself. This is something that you need to do with your own tests and your own advertisements. anamartins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bell Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I wasn't talking about your site.. If you don't think my sites are effective then you must not be tracking, because my results and the feedback I get every day show otherwise. and spam is any unsolicited advertising, doesn't have to be bulk lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
