A few posts back i spoke about the scam site Cool-traffic.com (which turned out to be not so cool, and actually got few people rather HOT under the collar...LOL), well...i got my money back via a refund from the pay-processor. So if ever you've been scammed, don't just give up when they don't respond to your emails/calls, etc...take it up with the pay-processor, because at the end of the day...their name is also going to be dragged through the mud!!
Lesson learnt!!!

PTC vs TE's: Surprising trend!
I've noticed a surprising trend away from PTC's towards TE's i.e. Traffic Exchanges for the newbies. However when looking more closely, perhaps it is not so surprising at all...actually!
PTC's was originally seen as an easy, free and user friendly means to make money and was a boon to advertisers and marketers alike; offering cheap advertising and a receptive audience eager to get 'paid to click'. The industry experienced unprecedented growth, but with that also came the negatives........get-rich-quick schemes and scammers, which i imagine was further fuelled by an over-optimistic click crowd, who included many cheaters amongst them. The reputation of PTC suffered tremendously in the process! What happens in times of turmoil? Put differently.....the loss of one is the gain of another.....enter TE's.
A traffic exchange very simply put is precisely what its name suggest, i advertise my site for free, in return, i click, providing 'traffic' or a 'visit' to some other advertiser! It's a win-win situation - depending on your ability to market effectively and exploit the system - it can give some an unfair advantage. The advantage of TE's over PTC's is that nowadays, you can get both credits and cash for surfing, hence the one-up over PTC's,, plus the added bonus of payment for and from referrals.....and this without having to pay a cent ....IF YOU GO ABOUT IT PROPERLY.....and with a bit of patience.
I've been fortunate in not having paid a cent of investment for 80% of the programmes i promoted, when i did invest, in an upgrade or buying of refs, it is AFTER, i've reached minimum payout level and as such minimised the risk, by basically using their own money to invest! Apart from the cases such as Bux.to that turned out to be such a disappointment and still owe me a few hundred dollars, my experiences have been largely positive.
Drop me a post on whether you agree or not!

Affiliate Funnel Is A Different Way Of Thinking When It Comes To Downline Building
Downline building has been around since the beginning of the internet. The offer is very exciting, let people know about your product or service, refer a few folks and presto, you are on your way to massive success. What's the problem with this scenario though?
Simple, downline building isn't as effective as it once was years ago. Sure there are people making lots of money online using their downlines and affiliate marketing strategies but during the past few years a change has been taking place.
It's called the marketing funnel and if you think of the pyramid look of a 'downline', flip it!
Here's how it works. Get as many people as you can into the top of your funnel and funnel them down into paying customers. Start with a free front end product or service and then let your marketing turn those free leads into paying customers and clients.
Affiliate Funnel is a service that does this plus so much more. It is an all in one business hub that shows you how to properly promote online using the best free resources around and channel these leads into a thriving downline. This is the power of a well put together marketing funnel, taking leads and turning them into clients.
Affiliate Funnel is owned by a guy who has built a massive six figure business using free resources and his own marketing funnel. Paul Kinder has put his experience in a bottle and packaged it for anyone to check out for free at:

Be sure to check out the Funnel today and start to promote your business the right way using the absolute best tools on the net. The results are there, it's time to grab them...

Clickfredtraffic: A brand spanking new Traffic Exchange
I was informed of a brand new site today, that has all the makings to be great. I trust my source who also has his own site! The NEW site involves surfing for credits, while at the same time getting paid cash to do so...HOWZAT??
The sign-up link is http://clickfredtraffic.com/?rid=36 as you can see i'm only member no 36...i've got nothing to lose and everything to gain! There's no sign-up fee, so IT IS FREE!!
Now some would argue and say...GEEZ MAN..don't this guy learn from hi mistakes, i mean his very previous post concerned him getting burned by a TE and here he goes barely a day later. Yah, i know that's the OTHER REASON i'm here to take the chances everybody else is afraid of...and also give you the feedback so YOU can can have greater peace of mind when you do decide to join any programme being promoted on this site.
I'm breaking another CARDINAL RULE here: promoting a site that has not yet proven itself....WHY? I've never really had the chance to 'get in early'...! Here i have an opportunity to build right from the word go and promote, BEFORE...YES BEFORE, anyone (or few others) does it! YOU, the valued followers and casual surfers and visitors of this site also have that chance...AND YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE!!!
I on the other hand have much to lose if you think about it - i've got my reputation and credibility to lose if this turns out to be a bummer and for me that's MAJOR!
Finally....Once you've taken the plunge and you've signed up let me know..so i can check if i've been credited!
GO FOR IT!!!!!!

What is a Traffic Exchange?
So some of you might be wondering exactly what traffic exchanges (TE's for short) are! It is really very simple....when you join a TE, you surf the site, clicking on sites. Depending on your activity, you'll get the corresponding amount of visitors to your own site, be it a blog, corporate website, or even an affiliate link that you want to promote.
The beauty of it all is that you don't have to pay a single dime for the visitors you'll receive and you can choose how much traffic you want to send to the site - we know some can handle much less than others! They also provide you with various options to advertise your site(s), such as text ads; banner ads, splash pages, or merely an ordinary link.
I've found them to be invaluable and have even got followers to the website and referrals/sign-ups to my programmes this way...so it's well worth your while to take a look at them!
Links to traffic exchanges i promote are to the top left of this site...go for it!!

Warning: www.cool-traffic.com is a scam!
I'm currently in dispute with cool-traffic.com for repayment of my fees used to buy referrals. I'll keep you all updated on the progress. This is what happened.
I purchased 50 referrals, was given only 44, a few days later this was further reduced to 38. I did not worry too much, since a common practice is for either the payment processor or the merchant to deduct 'admin fees'. I queried it nevertheless, but received no response - ALARM bells started ringing!!
However, after some weeks have passed and even the 38 refs couldn't get me a single surf credit, i had to do something, i mean for a site that purports to have over 91000 surfers, this would be 'peanuts' as they say, alas this was not to be!
I tried every means possible to communicate, i.e. using the contact button/link provided on the site completing the form 'to the T'; replying to the emails i still get from them (just bounces back), etc.
So i've taken the final step...to lodge a complaint with the payprocessor ...to get my money back! It is currently under investigation...obviously they'd want to get the other side of the story first (which is suppose is only fair). My experience and gut feel though is that....it is going to turn out to be a scam!!
I've already contacted one of the most experienced TE webmasters cum administrator who has a TE ranking site, and he agrees with me, ......the prognosis doesn't look good!
The good part of it is that you've learnt from my mistake ( i hope), you'll also see that cool-traffic was not listed or being promoted on this site....evidence to you that i only promote the best and most reliable programs here....and i have been paid by them or have the results/ difference they've made since i signed up with them.
So you can put your trust in these programmes....remember though that even when some of the programmes are quite good at first, they could turn out to be frauds/scammers or not paying in the end, some by choice, others by circumstance!
Take care out there...

New Category Added
I've added another category: Traffic Exchanges on the left side of the blog. Those of you who have been regular followers, would have noticed the phenomenal increase in traffic to the blog! This is partly due to my participation on traffic exchanges.
The ones listed i've found to be most reliable, ACTUALLY delivering traffic to the site. As a result of this, i've had sign-ups to some of the programmes i'm promoting on this site and even got followers as a direct result.
The beauty of it is that i haven't spent a single dime, only put in an extra few minutes a day to do some 'clicking'....it is well worth your while to invest some time...the Return is HUGE...as i've found out.
There are other programs i'm participating in , but these have YET to be proven, but i'll keep you updated.
So feel free to click on the links provided
