Thanks Dennis,
I just wanted to add to this a bit. Some of you have expressed that you don't know how or where to promote. This is really a little sad considering that we've had the hive team up this long and have had all these resources to use for promoting.
Right now I'm on the silent side of the internet without a mic or headphones or speakers since I don't have the ports I need, but I'm getting some headphones in a few days and I want to start getting some training for us on how to use some of the things we have available.
The hardest part of launching any site is getting new members who will understand how to use it to it's fullest and building downlines for everyone involved. Some of you have already brought in some new members and that's awesome, but for those who haven't been trained in promoting sites we need to get on the ball and start mentoring and helping those people.
Word of mouth is usually the best way, so if you know someone on skype, yahoo messenger or msn, or you can e-mail a few friends who could use some quality traffic, then by all means send them your link and give them the opportunity to come and check us out.
We really don't need tire kickers though. If they're just going to come in and sign up and then let their accounts go inactive, that's not going to look good on our stats pages.
This is truly a one of a kind traffic exchange and it's going to grow with us. One of the most innovative things about it is that it's driven by ip, and that means that the traffic is truly live. You're not getting a lot of useless hits that are just from a mechanical perspective. The hits are unique. You don't get credits for the same visit over and over. So the credits aren't being wasted like in some traffic exchanges.
When you surf your credits are there until someone actually visits your site and actually views your pages. If your credits are going away it's because your sites are being viewed and then you can know for sure that you're going to get signups and you can adjust your campaigns by the amount of hits they're getting and if you're not getting the results you want in a certain amount of time you can change to something else.
I recommend that if you want to promote your tangisurf url in other traffic exchanges that you try to find manual surf instead of auto. This will get your site more visits and not just hits.
Also if you're using safelists, or blogs or whatever else you use, try to find some that have around 200 members or less. Why? Because those are the ones with the newest members and will be more responsive to your ads than the ones that have thousands of members.
Believe it or not, slower is better.
Blasting out ads to millions is mainly just a way to get people to buy the blasters. They're very rarely any good for promoting something new because all members are doing the same thing and are probably filtering the ads to their junk box.
If we can all get these ads to a few smaller lists and surf in a few manual exchanges for about thirty minutes a day, I think we'll start to see more new members coming in.
Remember this one thing, Tangisurf belongs to YOU. And it's up to you to build it into what will make YOU money.
