Hello Everyone:
Welcome to our second edition of the Lets Get Some Traffic newsletter for 2008. I know that it is already May, but I really have not had much to say up until now. And being that I don't want to send useless e-mails...I thought that it would be prudent to wait until I had something to say...and now I do!!
OLD BUSINESS
I guess I should mention a little bit of business that is on my mind. I have placed it here, because it is an old topic: but one worth repeating. The reason traffic exchanges work, is because of it's members. When the members visit the exchange & view other sites; their site(s) in return are available to be viewed by others as well. But the problem that exchanges face (particularly ours); is when people don't visit: then the sites are not viewed; and everyone suffers.
The individual advertisers suffer because their sites are not being displayed; and the site suffers, because people who might want to join or advertise – won't join/advertise because they won't feel that the site will benefit their advertising objectives. So what can we all do?
Well, we as your administrators constantly strive to get more traffic to this site through a variety of advertising and marketing activities. We are not only the administrators on this site; but we are also members of many other traffic exchanges and pay to sites as well. About 90% of or advertising activities (on these other sites) are aimed at bringing fresh new visitors and members to the site.
And as for you, our valuable members: what can you do? Well, first and foremost: you can be an active participant on the site. This single item will not only keep credits in your account: but it will also keep the site active – thus being more attractive to new and even current members. The second thing that you can do, is to promote your affiliate/referral link http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/signup.php?XXXX (replace the XXXX with your member number); as well as the banners and splash pages that we have provided for you. You can find all of the current promotional material by navigating to http://www.letsgetsometraffic.com/members/memberpromo.php.
Together, we ALL have the power to make this site into the site that it has the right to be.
HAVE YOU PROMOTED TODAY?!
NEW BUSINESS
We are looking into upgrading our script on this site...making it even better. This new script will include even more functions and benefits for the members: including the ability to earn some extra cash with PTC, PTR & PTP. We also hope to include a forum integrated into the site: making it easier to communicate with not only us; but with your fellow members as well.
We will make further announcements as we know when this will happen, and when & for how long the site will be down during the migration to the new scripts.
PROMOTIONS
Our current promotions have not changed since the beginning of the year. You can check out those promotions by visiting the site and clicking on the individual links in the Current Promotions section to get more information.
I am working on a new promotion that I hope to initiate by June 1st, 2008. Although I am not able to get into too much depth with all of the aspects of the new promotion, I will give a little bit of information on how I am thinking of structuring it as follows.
To encourage the promotion of our site, I have decided that the best way to see that people are actually promoting, is by “checking up” on you. Now that doesn't mean that I am going to be getting in your business....no, quite the contrary. Actually, you will help us in this. In essence, if we find any advertising to our site on another site: the referring member will 1) receive an immediate addition of 100 credits in their account. 2) Will be entered into a drawing on July 4, 2008 for one of up to seven cash prizes (amounts to be announced later).
But how will we know where to look, you might ask. Well, as we mentioned before, we are also members on other TE's & PT sites ourselves...so we might actually run into your link that way. But the best way will be for you to “announce” your links by sending us a trouble ticket telling us where to find your ad; and what type of ad it is (page ad, banner ad or hotlink). Watch the site for more information and announcement of this new promotion: as well as a complete rules & terms.
HOUSEKEEPING
To keep this site up to date and relevant; we try to update the members section at least once a week (usually on Sundays). The Tips & Tip section is specifically designed to give users, and especially the new user: information on how to best use the site. And although we don't update it quite as much, we also try to keep our Member's Agreement/Terms Of Service updated and relevant to the ever changing legal and societal environment (on & off line) that we live in. Because of this, it is a good idea to review our M.A./T.O.S. from time to time; just to be aware of any changes. We will try to advise you of any changes to the M.A./T.O.S. on the site, or in e-mails: but it remains your responsibility to review it on your own.
In our most recent update (dated 4/20/08), we have made quite a few changes in both the terms itself; as well as the format of the page. It will now be much easier to find what you are looking for, as we have added a easy to use navigation system to jump directly to the area of the terms that you wish to review & back to the top. Each section will be designated with a § and section number. This should make it easier when we want to reference a particular point on the site or in correspondences to our members (en mas or individually).
And one last (but extremely) important thing. As we mentioned earlier, it is very important to all when everyone logs in and surfs the sites. When you don't, then we all loose. We have currently a large amount of our membership that have been inactive for quite a long time (months).
According to our Member's Agreement/T.O.S § 5.0:
...Members who don't visit the site at least once a month, will have their accounts put on inactive status... & ...Within 1-4 weeks of being put on inactive status, we will delete your account if you have not visited the site.
We will be notifying all inactive members in the next day or so. Afterwards, we will delete all inactive accounts within about one to two weeks: depending on how long the member has been inactive. We hold no ill wishes for people who choose not to participate on the site: we just need to free up space and bandwidth for those who DO want to participate.
Until our next issue....please be safe, and have a wonderfully successful day.
John ~ Admin
