Do Traffic Exchanges Work?
By John Guanzon

Are you a member of countless traffic exchanges and spend hours surfing or buying tons of credits, yet you receive dismal results for your efforts? Two questions often come from this realization to many people because of a couple of facts that you may be totally unaware of (Which will be mentioned shortly below), and those questions being:

* What am I doing wrong?

* What is wrong with this thing?

If you asked the first question then you are headed in the right direction. If you asked the second, then you need to understand that you must see every program that you sign up for as a tool, very much like a shovel. When you pick that shovel up for the first time you must learn how to use it. If you don’t learn how to use it properly, it does more bad than good. You may get holes dug, but you hurt yourself in the process. You also can’t expect that shovel to dig the holes for you. It takes action from your part to make it work. By the way, that last line is important to your success, “It Takes Action”. So prepare to take action and consider the following question:

How Would I Go About Getting Better Results From Traffic Exchanges?

The million-dollar answer is….

I Need To Learn The Importance Of Branding My

Name And How To Properly Build My List.

That’s right, learning how to use traffic exchanges does not start by learning how to use the traffic exchanges themselves. It starts with you understanding the power of two key principles and then applying those principles within the traffic exchanges that you use. Those two principles are:

1. Branding yourself and your name over an extended period of time is the best way to increase opt-in results, build relationships and gain trust from the traffic exchange audience.

2. Building a list of targeted opt-in subscribers is the best way to build residual profits from those traffic exchange opt-ins.

It is important that understand the importance of brand awareness and building your list.

Do Traffic Exchanges Work?

Yes they do, but you have to understand how to properly use them and they are some of the best tools available if you want to build your list of opt in subscribers. What I call the jewel of the net for doing just that.

List Building Expert John Guanzon has built huge lists in a short amount of time using free and inexpensive methods, including traffic exchanges, safelists, forums, and joint venture cross promotions, and much more. - Join John Guanzon’s Revolutionary New Way 2 Surf Traffic Exchange Where You Will Find All The Right Tools For Traffic Exchange Success.

Network Marketing and Web 2.0 During Recession
By Hugh Norstrom

Network marketing or mlm traditionally have experienced explosive growth during times of recession and economic downturns. In such times people lost jobs, lost earnings, lost security, LOST HOPE. Where were they to turn? Today with the threat of such an event here again we can expect the same opportunity, even more so now with the rapidly expanding Social network marketing made possible by Web 2.0

Review of History

It was in the late 1950s’ when unemployment was at it’s highest since the Great Depression (at 6.8% in 1958) that networking really began to flourish with the advent of such pioneering companies as Shaklee, Neolife and Amway.

This continued into the early 1960s’ with companies such as Mary Kay, Avon, Tupperware and Fuller Brush all gaining momentum. Then in the late 60s’ when the economy improved and unemployment dropped the growth of the home based business and direct selling slowed.

The 1970s’ were not an exception, however they played out differently. The first half of the ’70s’ saw unemployment rates jump again and the attention to network marketing once again took off. However, with all the heightened attention, five times as many lawsuits were filed from 1970-1974 than all of those filed in the ’50s’ and ’60s’ and the growth was dramatically slowed. The biggest lawsuit, against Amway, challenged the very existence of network marketing and was finally settled in 1979. This legal dispute of course dampened what otherwise would have been a greater boom in network marketing in the second half of the decade.

Again during the 1980s’ we saw the network marketing industry really flourish in the first half while in the second half of the decade it softened. In the first half the unemployment rate had reached its highest level in 40 years at 9.7%, while at the end of the ’80s’ there were almost ½ the number out of work.

In the 1990s’ the trend continued. In the early 1990s’ (1990- 1994) huge momentum in the industry, in fact “there was more wealth created in by way of MLM from 1990 to 1994 than any other time in history.” (Network Marketing Lifestyles May 2000). From 1996-1999, we had a network marketing recession. Again in direct correlation to unemployment. In the early 1990’s, the unemployment rate was very high and then in the later years in the 1990s’ it hit a 30 year low of 4.2%.

Where are we headed in 2008?

All major indicators suggest a possible recession: stock market, credit card debt, mortgage fore-closures, fall of the dollar against foreign currencies, company earnings reports across all sectors, manufacturing sector, employment figures, etc.

How do we take advantage of this opportunity?

Do we market products? This does not solve the average persons’ perceived need/want. Health and many other items can not be a major priority in this time. During times of recession peoples’ attention turns to a “just trying to get by” mentality. What we should be doing is making a shift to support people in building residual streams of income to empower them to withstand any kind of economic downturn. “Recession causes people to open their minds to gaining alternative sources of income” Lou Clements, Marketwave Inc.

Are the networking and prospecting methods you are currently using the best, most attractive, most professional and most effective way to bring people in to your business? BusinessWeek recently ran an article titled “Social Media Will Change Your Business… Look past the yakkers, hobbyists, and political mobs. Your customers and rivals are figuring blogs out. Our advice: Catch up…or catch you later”!.

Social Networking is comprised of a number of methods that can work synergistically together.

Social Networking sites like Facebook, MySpace
Social Bookmarking sites like Digg.com and SocialMarker.com
Content sharing like Squidoo and HubPages
Video, Photo and Music Sharing Sites like YouTube, MetaCalfe, Flickr

The sudden and fast rise of Social Networking is having a very significant impact on how we can maximize the potential ahead of us. Social networking is rapidly expanding, 33% of Internet users visit MySpace or have a page there, 29% either are on or go to FaceBook, 35% use YouTube. There are lots of Social Networking sites in cyber land with the number of users doubling every month. The top keyword searches bring up a social site. Social buyers make 20% more and also spend 25% more of their income. Some feel that over the next 2 years this is where the action is going to be and if we are going to take advantage of these trends now is the time to do it and this is the way to do it. Indeed because so many of the resources in Web 2.0 also known as Social Media are free or low cost net workers can now attract people to them much more cost effectively than before. Rather than investing hundreds of dollars in advertizing or buy leads now for free or just a few dollars per month one can reach hundreds of fellow human beings.

Use this as an answer to recession and economic down turns.. We must learn how to promote the business opportunity, do it well and do it effectively. If we are not utilizing Social networking we are missing the boat.

Paid Marketing is usually the fastest, most efficient, and user friendly way of Marketing. Paid marketing consists of many ways:

A lot of successful websites depend on returning visitors to account for a major part of their traffic. Returning visitors are easier to convert into paying customers because the more often they return to a site, the more trust they have in that site. The credibility issue just melts away. Hence, keep your visitors coming back to your site with the following methods:

1) Start a forum, chatroom or shoutbox

When you start a forum, chatroom or shoutbox, you are providing your visitors a place to voice their opinions and interact with their peers — all of them are visitors of your site. As conversations build up, a sense of community will also follow and your visitors will come back to your site almost religiously every day.

2) Start a web log (blog)

Keep an online journal, or more commonly known as a blog, on your site and keep it updated with latest news about yourself. Human beings are curious creatures and they will keep their eyes glued to the monitor if you post fresh news frequently. You will also build up your credibility as you are proving to them that there is also a real life person behind the website.

3) Carry out polls or surveys

Polls and surveys are other forms of interaction that you should definitely consider adding to your site. They provide a quick way for visitors to voice their opinions and to get involved in your website. Be sure to publish polls or surveys that are strongly relevant to the target market of your website to keep them interested to find out about the results.

4) Hold puzzles, quizzes and games

Just imagine how many office workers procrastinate at work every day, and you will be able to gauge how many people will keep visiting your site if you provide a very interesting or addicting way of entertainment. You can also hold competitions to award the high score winner to keep people trying continuously to earn the prize.

5) Update frequently with fresh content

Update your site frequently with fresh content so that every time your visitors come back, they will have something to read on your site. This is the most widely known and most effective method of attracting returning visitors, but this is also the least carried out one because of the laziness of webmasters. No one will want to browse a site that looks the same over ten years, so keep your site updated with fresh bites!
