Making money with nothing to sell!!
Did you know you could generate a large income from Traffic Exchanges without selling ANY business opportunity?
Well, you can!
Most of the TEs have affiliate programs that pay commissions for all referrals who upgrade their memberships to professional levels.
If you are generating income with your surfing, you should seriously consider upgrading as your budget allows.
You are simply re-investing some of your earnings in order to generate more traffic in less time, resulting in even more profit. Using the VitalViralPro System, you can start generating a positive return immediately.
Personally, I have upgraded memberships in ALL of the TEs that I surf on a regular basis. The upgrades return a profit through sales of VitalViralPro, TrafficWave, and upgraded referrals in Traffic Exchanges... to name a just a few.
But, if you are just starting on a tight budget, it's hard to know where to start.
Which exchange should you upgrade in first?
Traffic-Splash AND
TrafficWitch
Traffic-Splash and TrafficWitch have become two of my favorite exchanges with a clean interface and tons of goodies. The traffic is very responsive, largely due to the number of new people joining daily.
Traffic-Splash offers 50% commissions and TrafficWitch offers 75%, but they're also great places to earn by referring others.
# both are in the top-ranked exchanges
# Both are the fastest growing exchanges
# Earn up to 750/600 hits an hour
The hits are flowing and the numbers are growing.
but most importantly, tracking shows these as 2 of the best traffic exchanges for getting signups...many of which upgrade and make me some easy cash.
Traffic-Splash AND
TrafficWitch
Splash on in...or fly on in your broom...either way you win!
To your success,
Debbie

Bill Carr's lightbulb moment
From the owner of traffichoopla..
This just may be your light bulb moment.
I remember, as if it was yesterday, my light bulb moment. I had
spent months reading, learning, joining, and hitting my head
against the computer screen. All I really wanted to know, and
desperately, was how to build a successful online business.
Then, all a sudden, my light bulb moment.
Here it is ---
1. Ongoing daily traffic is everything. Get it, you succeed.
Don't get it, you fail.
2. To get traffic, you must advertise --- promote, publicize,
communicate. Yes, it is work.
3. Refer others, earning referral rewards, most often in the form
of traffic. Online, not difficult at all.
4. Your advertising + Viral Marketing + Referral Rewards = Ongoing
Daily Traffic
5. Focus only on the current best to increase your traffic and
maximize your productivity.
There it is in a nutshell. Your light bulb moment?
I will give you more.
1 - Ongoing Daily Traffic is everything. Get it, you succeed.
Don't get it, you fail.
It is everything. It is the master key.
Do not get this wrong, as most do. Making a sale is an end result,
not a beginning. Get the traffic first, and ongoing, and the sales
will come. This is why we repeatedly, and with encouragement,
instruct people to build traffic first, then your business. The
average person treats their online work as if playing the lottery,
with a focus on the jackpot. I am sorry, it just does not work
that way. Build it, one step at time, with a focus on traffic
first, and ongoing, and you will soon do well.
Yes, it takes time, hard work, consistency, and diligence. Are you
up for it? Most are not, and fail. I was, and am up for the
challenge, and experienced great success. Just do it.
2 - To get traffic, you must advertise, which is, promoting,
publicizing, communicating, all the above. Yes, it is work, hard
work at times. But there is no way around it. To build a
business, including online, requires time, hard work, consistency,
diligence, and such.
Think about it. When I was a kid, my dad suggested I mow lawns in
the neighborhood for extra money. I immediately got all excited,
dreamed of having dozens of customers, imagined having a pocket
full of money, thought about all the toys I could buy. And exactly
one week later, I had nothing. Why? Because I did not get the
word out. So I then created a small flyer, put it on a few doors,
and picked up one customer. Although I was happy for the one, it
was not what I had dreamed up. And it was not until I really
advertised, more flyers, more doors, and repeatedly, that I got the
number of customers I hoped for. I did, all was good for me, and I
learned a life long lesson about advertising.
Do you see it?
3 - Refer others, earning referral rewards, most often as traffic.
Online, not difficult at all.
Have you noticed? Most online advertising resources will greatly
reward you for referring others. For example, you refer a person,
and the advertising resource will give you a bonus amount of
traffic as a thank you for doing so. And in addition, it is
common, you will also earn a percentage of their business, mostly
in traffic, often, commissions too.
So here it goes. You refer someone, and for example, you get 50
hits for doing so. In addition, as this person uses the
advertising resource, you get, again for example, 10% of their
traffic. And then, you will also get a percentage of traffic from
their referrals, 5 downline levels deep.
Want more? Ok. You refer 10 people to this top ranked advertising
resource, and you get bonus traffic for each. As these 10 people
use the advertising resource, you get a percentage of all their
traffic. And, if/as these people go to refer others, you will also
get a percentage of their traffic.
The picture is you refer a small group, they refer a small group,
or also does the same, and it continues, and you reap a bountiful
traffic harvest.
Now, multiple these referral rewards many times over, as your
Traffic Hoopla includes 30 current top ranked advertising
resources, and each person you refer to your Traffic Hoopla,
potentially follows you to all, and you earn from all.
This is exactly how you will build, long term, ongoing daily
traffic. And the opportunity, potential, is unlimited.
4 - Your advertising + Viral Marketing + Referral Rewards = Ongoing
Daily Traffic
Your advertising is you use all the current top ranked advertising
resources to promote your Traffic Hoopla. Get the word out,
publicize, communicate, to get signups.
Viral Marketing, also called word-of-mouth marketing, is you get
signups, who also get signups, and it multiples, and continues,
into a feeding frenzy.
Earning Referral Rewards are the name of the game. Earn traffic
from your work, those you refer, and those they refer, and on and
on and on.
The end result equals ongoing daily traffic. And note, even the
most successful online businesses never cease to build traffic.
The point is to run, grow, and thrive, continuously.
5. Focus only on the current best to increase your traffic and
maximize your productivity.
There are literally thousands and thousands of online advertising
resources, and most are worthless, in that they generate no
activity and no results. However, there are those that are
thriving, and we make sales from these every single day.
From experience, we take nothing for face value and test
everything. What we really want to know is the resource running,
growing, and thriving. And if it is, then it is exactly where we
want to be.
No, we do not take surveys here. No voting, no top-sites, no
sponsorship, no joint-venture, no good ole boy club. We simply and
consistently test, and rank, based on statistical testing data
only. Then, we focus on the current best.
Does this make sense? Do you see it? Now go to follow our
instructions, do as we do, and soon you will reap a bountiful
traffic harvest.
To your light bulb moment,
This just may be your light bulb moment.

VitalViralPro
For those of you who don’t already know, A Downline Builder helps you build downlines in multiple programs simultaneously by promoting a single site.
VitalViralPro is primarily a downline builder. However, since its launch it has evolved into so much more than just another downline builder. A downline builder is simply a program that contains referral links for a number of programs and those referral links can be replaced with your referral links.
Being aimed primarily at traffic exchange users, most of the programs within VitalViralPro are traffic exchanges but there are also list builders and other tools helpful to traffic exchange users.
VitalViralPro does so much work behind the scenes, like tracking and split testing , both of which are crucial for getting the most effective use of your credits. Tracking is so important and while most people know this, it seems few people do it and end up wasting tons of time, energy, and money by not knowing exactly where referrals are coming from and/or what splash pages/websites produce the best results for getting more referrals.
There are so many traffic exchanges, how do you know which ones to use?
Well until now you may well have relied on one of a handful of services out there that give you some kind of ranking of the traffic exchanges. These services are a great start. For example Affiliate Funnel allows people to vote for their favorite traffic exchanges. As more people vote, a picture emerges and Affiliate Funnel can take those votes and produce a top 10 or a top 50 voted traffic exchanges.
That’s a great indication but does it have relevance to what you’re promoting?
Likewise, TrafficHoopla test virtually every significant traffic exchange using their proprietary methods and come up with a more objective ranking. But it’s more objective based on the pages they use to test.
Again, is that necessarily going to apply to your pages?
Truth is, you’ll never know until you test.
VitalViralPro also has extensive statistical data on a huge number of both well-known and little-known traffic exchanges. But as a policy, VitalViral does NOT publish or use that data to publicly rank traffic exchanges.
We use that data in conjunction with other factors to determine the traffic exchanges we think should be in VitalViralPro and whether we consider them to be primary or secondary but that’s about all.
We have enough data to rule some traffic exchanges as definitely in and some as definitely out. But as for the rest, how will they work for you and what you’re promoting? Truth is, we can’t know.
So we don’t try.
Instead, we make it easy for you to test for yourself. And the great thing is, you don’t have to use the traffic exchanges that are part of the VitalViral system – the testing will work on any traffic exchange!
VitalViralPro has a feature that allows you to take one of a number of squeeze page templates and customize them to create your own unique squeeze page.
Not only that but when you promote that squeeze page anywhere VitalViralPro will record statistics on where you promoted it. So with no extra effort on your part, you could throw that link all over the place and review the data some time later and see where you got the best results.
And that data is broken down by month as well as by location – incredible considering you just have one link to promote – not so much as a tracking code at the end of the link.
And any of those lead captures can be integrated with your Aweber, TrafficWave or GetResponse
So now you’ve seen that VitalViral is a whole strategy, not just a program. And VitalViral as a program implements a great deal of testing on your behalf, leaving you with just your own business to worry about. And it helps you with that too.
Using VitalViral as directed will lead to a source of free credits that just increases exponentially over time. Check it out now and start building your downline virally.

Is TrafficHoopla just a bunch of hoopla?
Found these 2 posts in a forum and have to say I agree with what these folks are saying...too bad too many other just can't see through all the hoopla.
In my experience with Traffic Exchanges ( I've tested nearly 100 including all the allegedly "Top Ranked" and regularly sell Clickbank products on a handfull) the rankings given at the various sites like Hoopla and Aff. Funnel don't have anything to do with whether the exchange is any good.
They're like an old-time Chicago election - Bribes for votes is the SOP. I've received many free credits at various exchanges in return for my vote.
The exchanges I've found to be best mostly don't appear on any "top ten" lists.
Like anything else, the only way to know what works is to test for yourself. Most people will tell you what they want you to hear so you will use their service or buy their product.
Without going into specifics, here's how I test traffic exchanges:
I build a simple "Splash*" page offering something of value, for free.
I mean free, no opt-in required. I link the page with an adtracker and track the CTR. I run them for at least 2000 hits. If they don't pull at least .5% CTR (1click for every 200 hits) I usually test a different page for 2000 hits. If that page fails to pull .5% I go on to the next exchange.
If a test page pulls at least .5% CTR I go on to further tests.
I never run an opt-in page on an exchange. Test have shown putting an opt-in form on a landing page linked from a splash page works best. Give people something good for free, then offer them the option of further information via your opt-in form.
*"Splash" page - If you are not using "Splash" pages on traffic exchanges you are wasting your time. The Trafficwave lead capture pages are good examples of "opt-in Splash" pages. When you find a good exchange, the $35 or so for a professionally designed, unique page can be a good investment.
Note: I surf at least eight exchanges at once. In Firefox, open each in a new tab, simple go from one to the next. By the time you get back to the first it will be ready to advance to the next page. Never surf one at a time!
Best of Success!
Brent
POST #2:
I agree with Brent to a large extent.
The traffic exchange industry is a bit funny in a way,
not heehaw funny, just an insanely mad industry.
What I mean is, there are people that try to control the
traffic exchange industry. When they are handed the
right amount of money and/or they know they can make
a killing (as in money or lists), they'll claim 'that' traffic
exchange is the best.
Perhaps you have viewed some traffic exchanges that
have those various images of rankings, member of __,
and so on.
I've found, like Brent, various traffic exchanges that net
me, better results and/or results period, that were almost
unknown TX's.
I recently prelaunched a TX. It has almost 2,000 members.
Not many members at all in comparison to those TX's that
link up to the controllers. However, it is growing, and not
bad growth for a recently new traffic exchange.
Point I am making is, I know my traffic exchange would grow
a lot faster, have a lot more members, if I sold my soul to
the devil.......whoops, I mean 'controllers'.
There is a lot going on in the traffic exchange industry that
people do not realize. I'm also very aware of the scripts
being used in many traffic exchanges.....and I would not give
a dime for them.
I'm not in strong agreement about using splash pages and
optin form pages, within traffic exchanges. I think a lot just
depends on what it is you are promoting, what kind of web
page it is. Of course, if you are advertising in a traffic exchange
that has a 6 second timer (which is totally dumb, in my opinion),
then you are going to need a very short page...very short.
I don't believe marketing is a numbers game, either. Not really.
If it were just a numbers game, we would all be very wealthy.
Personally, I've found the best thing I can do is place complete
contact info on my pages. It's almost common for people to
call me after seeing my page in a traffic exchange. Some times
they are truly interested. Some times, they are wanting to
promote something to me....and that is ok....because often
the conversing continues and they become interested in what
I have to offer.

In my experience with Traffic Exchanges ( I've tested nearly 100 including all the allegedly "Top Ranked" and regularly sell Clickbank products on a handfull) the rankings given at the various sites like Hoopla and Aff. Funnel don't have anything to do with whether the exchange is any good.
They're like an old-time Chicago election - Bribes for votes is the SOP. I've received many free credits at various exchanges in return for my vote.
The exchanges I've found to be best mostly don't appear on any "top ten" lists.
Like anything else, the only way to know what works is to test for yourself. Most people will tell you what they want you to hear so you will use their service or buy their product.
Without going into specifics, here's how I test traffic exchanges:
I build a simple "Splash*" page offering something of value, for free.
I mean free, no opt-in required. I link the page with an adtracker and track the CTR. I run them for at least 2000 hits. If they don't pull at least .5% CTR (1click for every 200 hits) I usually test a different page for 2000 hits. If that page fails to pull .5% I go on to the next exchange.
If a test page pulls at least .5% CTR I go on to further tests.
I never run an opt-in page on an exchange. Test have shown putting an opt-in form on a landing page linked from a splash page works best. Give people something good for free, then offer them the option of further information via your opt-in form.
*"Splash" page - If you are not using "Splash" pages on traffic exchanges you are wasting your time. The Trafficwave lead capture pages are good examples of "opt-in Splash" pages. When you find a good exchange, the $35 or so for a professionally designed, unique page can be a good investment.
Note: I surf at least eight exchanges at once. In Firefox, open each in a new tab, simple go from one to the next. By the time you get back to the first it will be ready to advance to the next page. Never surf one at a time!
Best of Success!

POST #2:
I agree with Brent to a large extent.
The traffic exchange industry is a bit funny in a way,
not heehaw funny, just an insanely mad industry.
What I mean is, there are people that try to control the
traffic exchange industry. When they are handed the
right amount of money and/or they know they can make
a killing (as in money or lists), they'll claim 'that' traffic
exchange is the best.
Perhaps you have viewed some traffic exchanges that
have those various images of rankings, member of __,
and so on.
I've found, like Brent, various traffic exchanges that net
me, better results and/or results period, that were almost
unknown TX's.
I recently prelaunched a TX. It has almost 2,000 members.
Not many members at all in comparison to those TX's that
link up to the controllers. However, it is growing, and not
bad growth for a recently new traffic exchange.
Point I am making is, I know my traffic exchange would grow
a lot faster, have a lot more members, if I sold my soul to
the devil.......whoops, I mean 'controllers'.
There is a lot going on in the traffic exchange industry that
people do not realize. I'm also very aware of the scripts
being used in many traffic exchanges.....and I would not give
a dime for them.
I'm not in strong agreement about using splash pages and
optin form pages, within traffic exchanges. I think a lot just
depends on what it is you are promoting, what kind of web
page it is. Of course, if you are advertising in a traffic exchange
that has a 6 second timer (which is totally dumb, in my opinion),
then you are going to need a very short page...very short.
I don't believe marketing is a numbers game, either. Not really.
If it were just a numbers game, we would all be very wealthy.
