Traffic Exchange Discovery

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:32:41 +0000

After discovering Traffic Exchanges in 2002, the traffic to my website increased 100 times. I thought I had hit the magic button for the jackpot. People were visiting my small informational website. What I learned very quickly, the average Traffic Exchange member at that time and on the Traffic Exchanges I belonged too, were interested only in the Internet Marketing niche. I am a writer. My site was about writing. Yes, I had found a valuable tool but not for my niche.

The Writing and Publishing world didn’t have a traffic exchange. There was no way for the small author, publisher, or new literary agent to be seen other than lots of hard work. Sometimes that work paid off, other times it didn’t. This is the sole reason for Author-Exchange Promotional Services. Author-Exchange has combined the magic of the traffic exchange and the usefulness of a blog to assist our members in getting the niche traffic they deserve.

Originally, the traffic exchange was developed to exchange website traffic between like-minded small business people. You see my offer, I see yours. We’re both small and can’t afford huge budgets to advertise to the masses as our A-list peers and big publishers do, so we exchange business instead. Author-Exchange was developed to exchange website traffic between authors, small and large publishers, as well as literary agents and readers. You see my releases, I see yours. You see what I am accepting in submissions and I see what and how you write. You see what I offer and I see what you offer. With all those win-win situations being created, there should be a few sales in there for each of you, too.

By adding the blog, this created another way for our members to advertise themselves and link back to their own sites. Unfortunately, very few people are making use of this offer. There are many things a member could blog about, whether it is their new release, new service of editing, where they will be book signing or a blog tour, or something they have learned in their career as a writer.

Write your article, include the information below, and submit it through the support ticket area on the website.

All blog entries need to have:

author’s website URL
author’s name or pen name
book titles
where to purchase the book(s)

If you do not have a book in print or ePublished at this time, then list your website and author name/pen name. Get your site seen. Get your following established. Use Author-Exchange to help assist you with this mission. It is never to soon to get started.

Zeriouz Partners

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 23:02:58 +0000

This morning, I met the man behind this phenomenal resource for quality traffic. Actually I wrote him a fast email and asked how this would help me since all his links are ‘nofollow’. He was very nice about my rant and explained to me how ‘nofollow’ links are useful and how ‘dofollow’ links can get you banned from Google who decides if you’re allowed to have them or not. I’m to much of a 60′s child to not have that irritate me, here the establishment of younger cyber geeks are telling me what I can or can not do! Whoops! Back to the topic at hand: quality links that benefit you and others.

Mr. Len explained I needed to read the ‘Search Engines‘ page. A fellow traffic exchange owner, Don of Horror Movie Hits has been using ZeriouZ Partners sometime before October 2009, and when Yahoo Search has “horror movie hits + zeriouz”, Yahoo shows that Don’s site has over 3,000 back links. Alexa shows he has over 90. To say the least I am impressed.

This system is free. You get to promote your ‘add my link’ to your site and your signature, so others will click on it and connect to your site. Then it snow balls. I paid my $7 to this Australia based company. My $7 allows me to be advertised on the ZeriouZ website and have my URL placed so others can choose to connect to it. Take your time to check this site out, and add the code to your front page. I chose links that are relevant to my own site giving my link and theirs more clout in the ‘nofollow’ world.

What is a splash page?

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:47:56 +0000

A splash page is similar to a book cover. It is used to capture the viewers attention quickly and links directly to your website or your publishers website. A splash page is 600×400 px graphic which is easy to load and tells the surfer the 5 W’s: who, what, when, where and why. It communicates in less than 10 seconds everything you want them to know about that one particular book, convention, website, etc. It is your internet billboard.

Manual vs Auto Traffic Exchanges

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:59:20 +0000

There are Manual and Auto Traffic Exchanges. Author-Exchange is a manual traffic exchange. In the surf bar you must click on the appropriate button to surf to the next site. Author-Exchange Traffic Exchange has a 10 second viewing system. This means you must view each website for ten seconds before you need to click to see the next page. While this may sound unnecessary, it isn.t though it keeps the surf-bots off the site assuring you only active members are viewing your advertising credits.

Author-Exchange advises members to stay away from Auto-Surfs. As they allow members to turn on their surf mechanism and walk away. Leaving the sites unviewed by an active member means you are not getting your monies worth of promotional services.

Our next post will explain about Free vs Pro membership accounts.
