Four must-have traffic exchange tools

Four must-have traffic exchange tools

If you are advertising in traffic exchanges, you MUST use —

1.  SPLASH /SQUEEZE PAGES - here are my favourite page design programs

• Site Rubix – excellent WYSIWYG designing and straightforward uploading to your site by in-built FTP. There’s so much more to this than the page-building though, so it may be overkill for you right now. But it is definitely top of my list and something I can’t do without. Requires a monthly membership fee as it is part of Wealthy Affiliate University – CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.
• Instant Squeeze Page Generator - “takes the hard work of designing a professional squeeze page or Lead Capture page and makes it so easy a baby could do it. If you can point and click, you will be creating squeeze pages in minutes”. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.
• Instant MLM Squeeze Pages – not just for MLM programs, this one’s a bit different as the pages are 90% ready for you. You can add your main program as a link. Interesting concept and fantastic videos telling you all you need to know about desiging squeeze pages if you want to do your own. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.
• Lots of the traffic exchanges have splash page builders available to members – really easy to use and you get to promote that TE as well.
• Online free for ad hoc use – can be found through online search. You will want to host these yourself though.

2.   Rotators for your splash or squeeze pages - these also have tools to help you track your ad campaigns, so they are really essential. Here are the ones I use:

• HitsConnect
• PageSwirl
• FreeRotator

3.  Banners – here are my favourite banner design programs:

• Instant Banner Creator
• My Banner Maker
• Banner Generator

4.  Rotators for your banners – here are the ones I use:

• HitsConnect
• Intellibanners

Why the splash / squeeze pages? – see my articles here and here

…and make sure you have read my Squidoo lens – here

Why use rotators? – see here (you will need to scroll down the page a bit)

Why use banners? – Why not? You will be given credits (impressions) for them, so you may as well use them. In some traffic exchanges they are free too.

Why have rotators for banners? – see here (same link as above)

You can find the top traffic exchanges to use in AFFILIATE FUNNEL and TRAFFICHOOPLA. Both have free basic memberships and use a variety of methods to rank the hit exchanges. Well worth a look.

If you are looking for programs to promote you will find some of what I am doing here in my blog, but I must admit that my favourites are MY INSTANT BIZ and TRAFFIC EXCHANGE PROFITS/ONLINE BUSINESS ALLIANCE. Great systems and top-class support in these two.

All of the above recommendations have basic FREE membership options  and some are just there for you to use as and when without signing up. Or you may decide you would like to upgrade and receive even more benefits; I have upgraded in some, but not all of them.

Neglecting my blog

Yes, I admit it. I’ve been neglecting my blog lately.

Lots of things going on in my life, so trying to get even better organised!

One thing I am very keen on, but will leave to fully write-up another day, is ‘Instant MLM Squeeze Pages’ (IMSP). It sort of caught me by surprise as I really wasn’t planning on getting into anything new just yet.

Nevertheless, squeeze pages have a sort of fascination with me. You may find a few posts about them here and under my Traffic Exchanges section and they are mentioned in my Squidoo lens. That means they are important if you are advertising in TEs especially.

As this is just a quick post, here’s a quick link to IMSP:

Splash Pages v. Squeeze Pages

Splash Pages versus Squeeze Pages

I’ve recently blogged about Squeeze pages – the short and sweet webpage you would use for getting someone’s name and email address. Now I’m going to write a little about SPLASH PAGES.

Here’s sample SQUEEZE page:

and here’s a sample SPLASH page:

(these images won’t work, btw, I’ve deliberately left out the links.)

Notice the difference?

The SQUEEZE page has a section for someone to leave their name and email address; the splash page doesn’t. Actually, they can both be for exactly the same product – but they serve a different purpose.

You can use a SQUEEZE page anywhere (it’s also called a LANDING PAGE and an OPT-IN PAGE). You would use a SPLASH page mainly in Traffic Exchanges where people are surfing very fast and you barely have 5 seconds to grab their attention. You need the page to load really fast too. You just want them to click on the image (the whole thing is a link) and go to your sales page where they can find out more information.

You would also want to set your splash page up so that it opens in a new window. That way, they can keep surfing and your main webpage is sitting waiting for them when they finish. That’s certainly what I do when I’m surfing for traffic.

The basic elements of every successful splash page are the same:

1. To make a strong visual impact

2. To get to the point quickly

3. To brand yourself  – with a company logo or personal photo

4. To give the surfer a clear ‘call to action’ – they simply need to click the image!

So, there you are!

To your success

PS  If you are happy with html then you can easily run up splash pages for yourself; however, if you appreciate the easy life, why not grab a subscription to Splash Page Maker. You can get a free report too – just click HERE or on the banner below.

Easily create a great offer with your squeeze page.

Easily create a great offer with your squeeze page.

Having a great offer that your subscriber
just must have is the final piece of the
puzzle. You need it to be something of
value that leaves them drooling.

This can be a piece of software, an
instructional video, an email series or
an ebook. The key is that it must be
something that your visitor will feel
they must have.

Now they have a reason to give you permission
to email them. More importantly, you have
given them something of value. This will
help you start the relationship.

P.S. There isn’t an easier or cheaper way to

And the EVERYTHING FREE link you are by now expecting:

Is HTML a foreign language?

Is HTML a foreign language?

HTML is the language that makes your page show
up on your visitor’s computer. To some it seems
like a foreign language.

The great part of Instant Squeeze Page Graphics
is that you don’t need to be able to talk that
foreign language. It creates your pages but the
system does the HTML not you.

Not only does ISPG save you testing themes,
creating graphics but they make sure you don’t
need to study a new language either.

All that and at a price you can’t beat – £$00-.

You have joined haven’t you?

There is one more major piece to the puzzle and
that will be addressed next time.

Have a great day

P.S. No graphics, no trial and error and no cost
certainly makes this a no brainer , doesn’t it?
