It may roll but it always rocks - The Rip-Tide Army

Well, it has had some turbulence but The Rip-Tide Army is still standing with me on board. We were so busy advertising that we blew up the server, we got hacked, the site hosting our tracked links did some maintenance so they didnt work etc but we soldiered on! We are spreading like wildfire so come and take a look earlier rather than later.

There are many, but one of the best things about the army is our banding together with our advertising efforts. We only ask that members try to get 500 hits to their tracked links per week anything earned above that you can use for anything else you are promoting. So joining in our surf teams will help all of your projects. We are following each other on Twitter which is expanding my base to see my profile link (which is to my traffic exchange Traffic-Guru.com).

They helped me to win a referral competition and earn an upgrade in another site. I have joined programs under some other members to help them in their ventures. They are all free to join sites with advertising to help the army.

We are joining each other to help bump the RTA links at MoneyBumper. When my downline bump they also earn for me! Win, win, win.

I have started my downline in our paying program and have earned my commission - paid to my Alertpay account within a few hours. I could spend hours nattering about how good it is but best get on with my advertising. Busy, busy but no feeling of work anymore just fun as I can stick to the things I like as my back is covered by other members.

$5 today - 7th February

Hello Everybody,
Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I posted here. Busy, busy and doesn't time fly. February already. Still, you have had the tweets to keep you informed. Hope things are going as well for you as they are for me.

Need to tell you today about our 5-way surfing competition. You will now need to surf the requirements in one day but that is still easy peasey. At Traffic-Guru.com I have decided to allocate CA$H prizes of $5 for first place, $3 for second place and $1 for third place directly to winners' paypal or alertpay accounts. Details here.

These exchanges are part of the Helping Hands Co-op and I will shortly be able to bring you great news about our first program.

12 Days of Christmas Surfing Extravaganza part two

Merry Christmas Everybody!

It is a bit early but we have snow. We don't usually get any at all and I don't have to go out today so it looks really pretty.

Our 12 Days of Christmas Surfing Extravaganza is drawing to a close (although still plenty of daily prizes to win). Just in time to be replaced with one from some other magnificent exchanges.

So, if you have time to surf a bit between 25th December! and 5th January there will be people to see your programs/sites at these exchanges.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

12 Days of Christmas Surfing Extravaganza

Hi,
I am so excited to be able to announce our 12 Days of Christmas Surfing Extravaganza.

Top Prize is a camera and loads of other prizes including daily prizes at the exchanges involved. So if you love surfing Traffic Exchanges or have never tried one now is a wonderful opportunity for you.

Find all the details on our splash page here.

What a busy weekend with three launches. Still it means that I am able to pass on the information about all three at once rather than keep going round and round altering things.

Volcano Hits
Is a great new traffic exchange for your free advertising. Although, it does have some wonderful OTOs for you to view which would earn me some commission! Also, at the moment there is $1 per referral which will be reducing to $0.50 shortly and that will not last forever either. Today there is the first prize draw with credits and several $5 prizes for surfing 150 pages at both Volcano hits and Traffic Taxis. You will need to send it a support ticket with your usernames for both exchanges to qualify. There is always a surfer bonus reward for surfing 150 pages so remember to claim that too. You will see my banner for Traffic-Guru on the inside page at Volcano Hits so you could make it a threesome and join that too. If you join today and send it a support ticket mentioning my blog entry I will add $5 to your Traffic-Guru account.

My Net Wealth
Another great program from the owners of Traffic-Guru is in prelaunch but due to launch on Monday. For just a single payment of $15 you get access to a wealth of information and people to converse with. Of course, it has a payment plan too so pop-on over and take a look as it is all explained on the Homepage.

Helping Others
Now this is more expensive at $15 a month but bear with me. Not only will you be in a commission payplan but part of each monthly subscription will go to a chosen charity voted for my members in the forum. So take part and you could also get members interested in your other programs. It is also linked to the Easybid free auction site which will be actively promoting. So get in early (it is only launching this weekend) and you will earn from all the spillover. Not to mention the feel good factor of knowing that your money is also helping worthy causes.

Phew! That should stop you getting bored on a Sunday.

$5 when you join for free

Wow! Sorry, I have neglected you for ages. Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying yourself. I haven't been enjoying myself at work so have poured myself into my internet marketing but I can only stretch so far. Have been making friends - which I will tell you about another time and helping with the launch of a new traffic exchange. I stupidly have not listed it on here yet but you still have time to reap the rewards.

It is called 4ExtremeHits.com and enables more credits for your click by showing 4 pages at once - certainly prevents boredom. The best part at the moment is that you can jump start your earnings by joining in October and getting $5 added to your account. Then $1 for every referral. The only qualification is that you both need to surf at least 25 pages. Easy, peasy, especially when there is an auto-surf option too. There is also a personallized splash page option to assist you getting referrals.

So, hop to it.

Try to Be Back Soon,
Diane

13th but luckily a Saturday.

Hi,
I found a new advertising resource this week - bit behind the times as usual. Kenneth Kraakstad has started his own Social Networking site called I Love Traffic Exchanges - which I do. Seemed a good place to talk about Traffic-Guru, get it as perfect as possible and put in my links for lots of other exchanges too. Unfortunately, the site breaks frames so it will not be possible for me to advertise it directly but I can add it here. Perhaps it will lead to me starting my own Social Networking site too when I have gleaned lots of information.

Please enter your views there on what makes a perfect traffic exchange.

Best wishes,

Diane

Bring Fun to your advertising

Hi,
I took a bit of time off to watch the Wimbledon tennis championships - they were great. So, then there was some catching up to do. I came across some great advertising mediums which I would like to share with you today.

Whatever your enthusiasm for your program/site sometimes the advertising can get boring. Spice up your routine with these sites. They may even make you some money too!! In no particular order:

ZoomMoola. Call me stupid but I can't wait each day to login to find out how many people joined. Members may advertise to all members that join after them regardless of who recruited them. The messages stay on-site so no full in-boxes or bounced messages. If you want to recruit commissions are $7 per pro referral. At just $20 once and no need to read messages to earn mailing credits to post once per day and free smilies I feel it is worth it. Free members need to read more messages each day to mail as the membership grows. Cash-out after $10 so at least 2 paid referrals. I have one pro so far and 5 free myself but 1,500 people to receive my messages daily! Fun and easy to post.

RollerCoaster ads. Another fun page. See how cheap you can get your ads. Sales go directly to the sponsor paypal account - thanks. We are a team of a few like-minded people that pay on each others' sites each week. You could join our team too if you decide to get your own page.

Cash Wrapper. Why do your advertising for free? Put a simple bar on your page and get paid every time it is shown. Also earn credits to get your link shown on other pages. First site you would like wrapped is FREE. Any additional are just $5 per year and your sponsor receives the fee directly to paypal again - thank you.

BusinessAdsBoard. Another multiple link site where others do the advertising for you. It is FREE to add your link daily and only takes a minute - so if you have one to spare pop on over. You need your site linked to as many different forms of advertising/places as possible. Advertising is a numbers game - wear down there resistance and make sure it is your link they choose to join.

LiveAdBiz. Ditto above. FREE to post your link. So get it out there.

NetAudioAds. If you have access to the code for your page add a 5 sec audio ad every time it is shown and receive payment. I am still new to this one and it takes a while to get your site authorised. So I reserve judgement but wanted to add it to this list in case it is a gem.

Of course, there are loads of safelists, traffic exchanges, forums, ptc, classified ads sites etc. So spread your net wide.

This traffic exchange lets you have 900 free pixels on their pixel page too. TrafficPros.

If you are looking to try a Safelist please could you join this excellent Frank Salinas one via my link. Refer for upgrades at Safelist Pro.

Thanks very much for your time and Good luck with your promotions.

Don't forget to join our happy family at Traffic-Guru.com

Using Traffic Exchanges is FUN

Hi Everybody,
We have reached the weekend again.

There are some great traffic exchange referral competitions around at the moment so I thought I would put my links on here for you.

The Big Boys usually win the main competitions so I thought I would start with ones that pay for your individual efforts.

Gladiator Hits is offering $1 per referral but possibly only before he reaches 3,000 members which might be today so hurry on over there now. Great site and fun surfing.

WizardSurf is offering $10 per 10 active referrals (surf 50 sites please). This is hover surfing so relax your finger. Great admin.

HitWarBiz is having a referral competition to 3,000 members with a pot of $130. Excellent admin, trivia quiz on Saturday's and solve anagram for $0.5 per week. Surf for cash active at varying times.


A joint promotion with a top prize of $500 with
Traffic-Splash, Fast Easy Traffic and Traffic Wonderland.
1st place: $100
2nd Place: $50
3rd Place: $30
4th Place: $25
5th Place: $20
6th-30th Place: win a free referral for every two you bring in.

So, if first prize is $100 then how do you win $500? Simple really....

If you are top referrer for all three exchanges we are offering an extra cash bonus and you will win $500!

CrazyTraffic are having a surfing competition in July so get your promotions set up now.

If you have some spare capacity for surfing please help the Webmaster at Traffic Heroes especially if you can afford one of his advertising/upgrade packages to help with his medical expenses.

AND, of course, not forgetting the excellent Traffic-Guru Traffic Exchange.

Variety makes surfing fun so surf them all and surf them often to assist your advertising efforts.

Good luck and best wishes.

Have a great weekend.

One Day only Lifetime offer

Hi Everybody,
I thought this was the best way to reach as many people as possible quickly with some important news that needs explaining. You have only one day to take advantage of this great offer. FREE LIFETIME Gold upgrade at this great new hover surf traffic exchange. A saving of $218.00 at today's prices or at least $18 a month if paid in 3 monthly blocks. Of course, these prices will also rise over time. The exchange is called Traffic4Webmasters.

It is run by the brilliant owner of the already excellent WebmasterStockClub so you could do no better than to join this one too. In both of these you can even earn a little cash by the ptc option.

Except perhaps my own at Traffic-Guru. You need your advertising in as many places as possible so in this case 3 is by no means a crowd!

Best wishes for your promotions.

Heartfelt Good Wishes to these stars.

Hello Everybody,

Traffic exchange owners are mostly wonderful people and I owe a BIG THANK YOU to the following for helping me over the last few days to sort out some problems.

Firstly, Techy Tim of Fast Easy Traffic is a superstar. For taking time to offer technical advice to me even though I am a free member and the problem was not even at his exchange.

Secondly (although probably joint firstly) Tim Linden and dehawkinz of StartXchange for spending time to sort out the complicated problem of one of their members when they have over 36,000 members all wanting their time and expertise.

On a different matter the following have been excellent at understanding the problem and offering assistance to rectify it.
Peter at BigLeagueHits
Cindy at TrafficBunnies
and
Ray at Soaring4Traffic.

I have made good friends with several others who are always available to offer assistance but will/have mentioned them elsewhere.

If you are a Newbie or an experienced surfer you could not do better than joining these exchanges. You, your sites and your traffic will be excellently looked after and rewarded. I can only hope to follow humbly in their footsteps with Traffic-Guru.

Best wishes,

Diane Cooke

Plan 4 Power and The Sale of the Century

Hi Everybody,
I thought it was time to tell you about some of the great programs that I am a member of but do not have time to devote to promoting as I have moved on to uVme and Traffic-Guru.

These are both for those with something to sell rather than promote. Plan 4 Power is a wonderful set of people all working together for success. Easybid is an online auction site that is growing swiftly. By purchasing a position at its linked site the Sale of the Century it is possible to get a free store including free upgrades for listings and commission on every affiliate site purchased after yours. Soon you will be making money from sales of goods and passive income from recruits. Although, if you too decide to promote affiliate rewards are even greater. Apparently, the Easybid site received over 2million hits during the last month.

Unfortunately, I am not able to do them justice at the moment. I am still receiving commissions at the SOTC and have been able to cash out - payment was received promptly.

Best wishes,

Diane Cooke

Are you a Traffic Guru?

Hi all,
My husband installed a different security program onto our computer during the holidays and it is messing up my surfing. It has taken me a while to sort out (well really it is a good job our son is home from university as when things don't work correctly I don't know where to start) still can't get StartXchange to work and lots of banners/pictures are just showing red blocks!

Traffic-Guru members remember to check the Home Page every day to see if you are a winner. Surfing is doing really well - thank you very much everybody for taking part. Keep your eyes open for the newletter on Thursday with information on my Birthday special for the weekend.

I did win in the HitAli surfing competition - hurrah!! So I will be able to do lots of advertising in there. It is a great, easy to use site, if you would like to join me.

There is a referral competition at HitWarBiz (top prize $50) and it is also running a BOGOF on a month's upgrade. Has installed new hover technology so save your clicking finger.

Best wishes,

Diane Cooke

Hi Everybody,
It is the school half-term holidays this week and today was the first time it stopped raining!! So we went out and I have not been on the computer!!

This is also why the draw was late on the Traffic-Guru site. Don't forget to claim your conversion credits if you win.

Might be the same tomorrow (Friday) but business as usual from Saturday onwards.

Good luck with your promotions.

Traffic Guru - new competition running

Hi,
I am a bit lost for words. I spent yesterday promoting Tetoolbox and the site has not worked since! so what a waste of time.

Traffic Guru is doing really well and has just reached the 250 member mark in only a few months. Not as quick as the 'big boys' that pay for members to join but full of vitality and keen and active members to view your programs. More are joining every day which is very exciting for me. I am aiming high but need to start slowly to have found my feet and make a solid foundation. You must have heard the story of the tortoise and the hare. We have good backing and intend to stay around so your advertising is being well looked after.

I recently started a daily surfing competition: the winner gets their username on the top of our Home page so is showing on all of our advertising. What personal branding for you. Just join, and get your name in the draw at 3pm GMT for any day that you surf at least 10 pages. Win 100 conversion credits which would be 5:1 ratio for a free member on top of the credits earned for surfing!! The first two winners had only just surfed the minimum amount required.

Also has banner and text advertising and a downline builder. So come on over.

See you there. Best wishes for your promotions.

To be in the 3%

Hello,
The internet is a very useful place for bringing people together and providing a huge market. However, this can also make it very confusing and a minefield for the unwary. How do you know which of the conflicting information is correct, how to avoid the scams etc to ensure that you are one of the 3% not the 97%?

Well actually I am going to be different and say, 'I don't know for sure!' Is it the blind leading the blind anyway. Surely if they had made their millions they would be on the beach enjoying themselves not still tied to a computer! There are probably as many ways to success as tracks through the woods just some are straight forward and trouble free and others need tools for the pitfalls along the way.

I would only suggest that you find a program that you are happy with and promote in a method that you are comfortable with. That is why I have moved on from some programs and settled with uVme. Not because they were wrong in any way but because I was not comfortable there. Our team on uVme has different methods of promoting. They are very willing to share their knowledge and help members to success but, at the same time, encourage individuality. This spreads the word further afield and helps us all.

I am happiest promoting on traffic exchanges. I love to win the competitions and even if I am not successful in some there will be others just around the corner making it varied and exciting for me. Most of the owners are great people and very helpful so don't be afraid to ask for their assistance.

I like this blogging but did not get on very well making a website. It is here but is really just a collection of links mostly traffic exchanges and what they offer. I am gong to keep the traffic exchange competition page that I just started up to date from now on for my benefit as much as anything else as I find I lose track of what is happening where and when. You are welcome to join me.

I found some great friends and they invited me to be admin at their exchange so I have entered the world of traffic exchanges myself. It is great to see things from the other side! We all aspire to be a Traffic-Guru.

Best wishes for your promotions.

FREE advertising and $$$ referral competition

Hello Everybody,
Busy day offline so no time to chat unfortunately.

A free to join traffic exchange is having a referral competition so it would benefit you and me if you could join via my link please. HitWarBiz is an excellent, established exchange with a great owner. To encourage surfing there is a weekly letter hunt word for a $0.50 prize to all successful participants. Also surfing competitions for extra credits and a weekly trivia competition which I look forward to every Saturday. Credits may be used for the Daily Sponsor auction but I like to win that so hands off.

Referral contest is now running until we reach 4000 members. Top 5 winners will receive Cash.

1st place wins $50.00

2nd place wins $30.00

3rd place wins $25.00

4th place wins $15.00

5th place wins $10.00

As usual new referrals need to surf to 'count' and in here it is 25 pages. If a support ticket is sent to admin any confirmed downline member will be doubled.

All usual items are available: credits from downline surfing, commissions, downline builder, banner and text ad exchanges etc.

If I am allowed a bribe, I will give any confirmed HitWarBiz member in my downline a one month upgrade at my Traffic-Guru if they would like to join there too.

Excellent FREE advertising for your program.

Diane Cooke

uVme is the one for me.

Hi Everybody,
I have been on the internet for a while learning loads but have not tried blogging before. I have found some great people so the internet is not full of scams although there certainly are lots of those to be wary of and lots more programs that do not succeed and disappear.

I have taken my share of spills so am now wary of recommending things before they are established. I am working with a great team from My Traffic Empire and not only am I making money there but in all of the affiliated programs. Also, they have let me be admin at one of their traffic exchanges called Traffic-Guru which is growing really well and also making money.

This still leaves me time to promote my favourite uVme which although still in pre-launch so small and changing, is very exciting and will be big.

Thank you very much for reading my blog.

Diane Cooke
