1. The people who are making money with traffic exchange consistently are the owners. Several of the well established TE programs are the ones who are buying credits/upgrades on regular basis from other traffic exchanges. Some can spend in the thousands of dollars every single month.
2. Traffic exchange owners have been telling people to 'build your list'. Folks! let me tell you it's not that easy as they say it. I've been building list for several years using various tools both free and paid but the problem is how to convert those leads into sales.
So if the majority of the average non TE owner users starts spending money left right and center to build their list but don't have a clue as to what to do next, the owners would be very happy right? of course but what about YOU and your list. You see they left that part out.
3. The majority of members who are new to traffic exchange don't have any business background or have any experience/knowledge of how to run an offline business. Most of them don't have or can't spend $50 dollars per month on consistent basis, some actually believe you can run an online business for free.
4. Affiliates using traffic exchange programs that do make more that $100 in a particular month may not make that same amount of money next month. Why? that's because members cancel their subscription all the time. Some would buy credits today but not tomorrow or next month.
5. Some owners don't provide statistics such as free members to upgrade ratio, demographics, number of new sign ups, number of members surfing. Certain info might be detrimental to the success of their business so that's maybe why some are not so forthcoming.
6. Traffic exchange owners have a slight advantage when it comes to promoting a brand new traffic exchange over the average surfers who don't have a list of their own. Remember, some TE's have over 50 thousands members that they can promote to which begs the question, are TE owners building traffic exchange programs or a list or a bit of both.
When you have 12 TE owners with a combined of over 200,000 members or more promoting a brand new traffic exchange program, what are your chances of getting quality signups. If you ask me not good, you really have to work extremely hard to beat them. You have to remember that owners can promote anything in their network and thru their email correspondence. They don't have to worry about how much credits or banner impressions they have in their account but you and I do.
One perfect example of this is the newly launched TE called BarbarianHits.com or something like that which is a project created by Robert Puddy and Jon Olson. So we know the 2 joint venture partners but who were the other 10 people that were involved in launching this traffic exchange. I heared that there were a total of 12 people that were involved in this joint venture.
How big are their lists and did they spread the word to their other friends with big lists.
Till next time, take care.
