Changes have been made, is it fair?

Every once in a while, we all have to make decisions and choices, that do not, at first, seem to be fair. I have to say, I have noticed that these choices are doing something, yes, obviously the volume of traffic has gone down, seemingly drastic at first, but now, not so much.

As selfish as it may sound, my workload has gone down, but, the productivity has gone up! If you are keeping stats on your site(s) you may soon notice a few changes, I know that I have since I cut out the quicky hits.

For those that have always had a low PR (Google Page Rank) and are only interested in getting more bodies to sign up for your “plan” or give up their email for one scheme or another, no, these changes will not do you any good, but, for those that are here, promoting real sites, with real products, these changes could be important.

Since requiring a New Member to surf 500 pages at 30 seconds, instead of 100 pages at 5 seconds, the new members are surfing more, and more often, thanks, and even some of the older members are coming back and surfing, now that the traffic is of better quality. As you know, I used to surf literally hundreds of exchange sites, I worked myself to a frazzle, just surfing, I have promoted literally hundreds of other exchanges, but, that is no more!

Where I used to get maybe 20 or so, organic or search engine referral visits to my sites, I am now seeing hundreds, from 2-10 % on one, up to 45% , 54%, with direct traffic, that tells me that the powers that be, Google, are now seeing my sites differently. I have one, that when it debuted was a PR4, then rather quickly went down to a 2, and yes, Google did change up a bit, but now, due to the better traffic, I am expecting it to go way up.

So, for those of you with “real” websites, keep up the good work, it will pay off in the long run. For everyone else, thanks for surfing and looking at our sites, without you, this site would not produce as much, I hope that those with the “other” sites would just get real ones, with real products, or as in my case, just be something besides a scam.We have many new members, that are offering good sites for us to view, and now, we have a great 30 seconds to look at them!

TrafficComplex: All-Star Surfers!

I am starting a new category that is to highlight our busiest members and their websites.

I am hoping that each person reading this will follow the links and take a peek. i had started to use a screen-shot but they just don’t look right once reduced, so, I am just going to use text links.

You may ask how I am determining the member that I highlight? Simple, it is random, as I am looking through the stats, and I see that someone is surfing and has incredibly high page-views, then that is the one I will write about! Don’t worry, if you surf a lot, I will find you!

I plan on highlighting one or two members a week, give or take, so, just be patient, you will be here soon!

The first member on the list is User #15, at the time of writing this, Patti has over 250,000 credits allocated to her 5 URL’s! now I have to admit, I know Patti, and she is an upgraded member and surfs about as regular as is possible! If you are looking to relocate to Houston, she can help you find your new home! Her sites are as follows:

http://www.pattimace.com
http://www.hotonhouston.com/newhomes.cfm?siteid=109237
http://pattimace.com/listings/legends-line/
http://pattimace.com/listings/reduced-home-in-spring-tx/
http://pattimace.com/relocation/

The Second Member is User #59, at this time, has over 190,000 credits to get her sites seen! Liz is also an upgraded member and has a variety of sites, like hunting, crafting, automotive, and even an Internet cafe! Check out these sites, I am sure that there is something there to interest everybody!

Check out all of these sites and when you find something you like, post a comment. I hope that everybody finds this useful!

Maybe some of you can exchange links with each other? I am working on getting an awesome plugin to work that will enable you to do the same with this site, automatically, but there is still a little problem, it doesn’t work yet!

Do you need more visitors to your website? TrafficComplex.com Can Help You!

Do you want more visitors to your website?

Did you create a masterpiece site, but you are the only one looking at it?

What can you do to get more people to look at your site? The best place to start is of course the search engines, like Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the others, but how?

The fastest way to get your site indexed is to use Google’s Webmaster Tools, if you don’t have a Google account, get one, then just sign in using your new Google Account information. (Once Google picks it up, the others will follow!)

Once you log in, you will be at the Dashboard, this is where you begin by entering your website information, starting with the URL “http://yoursite.com” , then you need to verify ownership, this is simple, you create a blank html file, named as Google instructs, then upload that to your site’s root directory using an FTP program like SmartFTP, that is my favorite, once you do that, click the Verify button, next, comes the most important part, the sitemap.

For a great sitemap generator go to GSiteCrawler and download it, once that is done, just follow the setup instructions and it will automatically upload it to your site, also in the root directory. If you have a WordPress Blog, there is a plugin, that works great as well, as a matter of fact, the WordPress plugin, Google XML Sitemaps, is so easy and it automatically updates every time you write a post! Anyway, once you have a sitemap, and have it in the proper place, go back to Google Webmaster Tools Dashboard, click the URL for the site you just added, and follow the link for add sitemap, remember it should be in your root directory so the URL should be “http://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml” once that is done, it is time to promote your website!

Always remember, marketing is like a bicycle wheel, the more spokes, the stronger and more true your wheel, so, every method you use is another spoke. Depending on your product and whether you have a “brick and morter” storefront as well as a website, you adjust your marketing plan accordingly.

Lets just say that you have an auto repair shop in Texas, but you also sell cars, you will obviously have your standard ads like phone books, newspaper, maybe even TV and radio, simply make sure that your ad includes your website’s URL so people can find out more about your business. After all, with high gas prices, and a lot of competition, people are looking to learn as much as they can before driving to see you! Now that you have the basics covered, start adding more relevant content to your site, much like this article that you are reading now, that is how the search engines find you and match you up with the actual search the user is performing. This is the most important part of your website promotion plan, getting your website pages indexed!

There are a lot of sites out there claiming to get your site listed in the top 10 results
the first page, and yes it is possible to do, but watch out for the ones that guarantee it! A term you may not know, SEO or Search Engine Optimization, is how you can improve your rankings. quite simply put, that is about getting all the right keywords in the right places and so on. One very important thing is to not forget the images on your site, they need titles and alternate text, which again, if you are using WordPress, is easy, just get the SEO Friendly Images plugin, that will do it automatically as well. Just mouse over the image in this post, you’ll see what I mean.

Next, you will need incoming links from other websites, this isn’t a very easy one and can be a lot of work. However, you can go to LinkMetro and get plenty of incoming links through Link Exchange, what is that? You place a link to your exchange partners site on yours, and they in turn place one to you. Link Metro is great because they verify that both parties have posted a link. Another way is a Link Directory, we will have one here soon, but in the mean time, you can add your link to OpinionHead Links Direcory, and many others. One thing to watch out for is paid links, don’t do it! If Google finds out they will send you to bed without supper! Well, lets just say, it isn’t a good thing. However, there are many paid Link Directories out there and that is ok, just be careful, they shouldn’t cost much. Also, one way links to your site are the best, but the hardest to get, if you have a great site, with useful content, people will link to you, as I linked to others in this post. Another way to get incoming links is to find a place that will allow you to trade them directly, like you can here at TrafficComplex.com just go to the forum, discussion board or whatever you want to call it, and post your info, try to exchange with the same type of site as yours, as above, auto repair shops, that is another big plus.

Ok, you have done all of that, what’s next? TRAFFIC! You need to get visitors to your site, even if, as in the above scenario, you have an auto repair shop in Texas, someone from Ohio, Germany, Australia, Canada, or anyplace else visiting your site shows that your site is interesting, and yes, Google Knows All! Now, the easiest method to get traffic, and lots of it is a traffic exchange, like this one. TrafficComplex.com is here to help you with your website promotion needs!

Remember, an autosurf site is a wonderful thing for volume, but a manual surf site is better for quality, unless the timer is about 15 seconds or more. This also allows the site time to load completely, however, variable timers like here, we change it according to the amount of volume for a steady surf rotation. The longer someone stays on your site the better, that is why many people will Hijack the surf with a redirect and why pages that do this are always suspended from the surf rotation, the idea behind this is that you aren’t watching anyway, at night or something, and you won’t know that you’ve been redirected, or Hijacked!

This is our goal here, to give surfers resources that will keep them coming back, and to offer information and other tools that can be used to supplement the surfing they are doing. So, sign up, surf, exchange links and have some fun! Get a conversation started at the forum and make some friends!

(Here is a tip: Surfbar bonuses will vary, but will always be there and not at like 100 pages or something, it will be either 10, 25, or 50 pages, the higher the number, the higher the bonus, the longer you surf, the more you will be rewarded! Clicking this Link will take you to the Instructions Page)

Coming Soon, TrafficComplex, not just another Traffic Exchange, but a One Stop source for Website Promotion!

CarpetGuy — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:50:20 +0000

Are you tired of all the same old autosurf sites? Do you spend hours surfing, having to look at all of the “Get Rich Quick” scams out there? Now look, everybody has a right to promote whatever they want to, but not here, there are hundreds of other traffic exchanges out there for anything not allowed here.

If you have you been looking for a way to generate traffic to a legitimate website that offers real products or services, this is the place? Here is my plan for this site, a Social Network of Webmasters that need people to see their sites, a place to exchange links, a link directory, and also a place to exchange ideas. If this sounds good to you, then you are in the right place!

If you want a head start, drop me a note using the Contact Us Form Here.

At the time of this post, we are still waiting on our script for the autosurf portion of the site, as soon as that is done, it will be up and running, looking for new members, and looking for help!

When the surf section gets here, there will be a very limited offer for true professionals, we will take the first 10 members and make them “Founding Members”, what is that? Well, as a founding member, you will get a free upgrade membership, that will include monthly credit bonuses, a higher surf ratio, and more! Yes, there is a catch, you have to help me surf the site! Founding Members will be expected to surf on a regular basis, and to be an active forum member, which will have a special rank as well. My intentions are to create more than just a traffic exchange, but a traffic community or complex of resources for webmasters.

I look forward to working with everybody here, we can make this a great place, so get the word out and lets make it happen!
