Experience with Traffic Exchanges Part 3

In September, I did quite a bit of advertising with Traffic Exchanges, and I found that to be like preaching to the choir about church. No one responded to my advertising. My click rate went up in SFI tracking, but not enough to justify paying for ads in TE's.

I placed over 150 ads, way below my goal of placing 1000 ads. This was a disappointment. It is very time consuming to place ads when you don't have templates to use. Now I have set up many templates for my advertising so I can just repeat the ads in some places.

My strategy for making $700 in September was to place many ads for Pricebender auctions. The idea was to get people to buy TCredits and earn CV from them. Several people signed up as PRM's but none of them placed any orders. So the result of my advertising was that I never accomplished what I wanted using TE's. I did find several auction groups in Facebook. Upon joining them, I have started placing comments about Pricebenders there. Still no results.

This is a very sad blog today, but it is picking up for me. I finally found a system that is working much better. I had joined MyLeadCompany previously, but sticking with my policy to never spend any money on my internet projects than I earned from doing internet projects, I had to wait until this month to purchase leads. I have now purchased the leads, and I received 100 free leads already.

True to the reason for starting this series on this web site was to research different methods of building the SFI business. I am now researching another method that I hope will work much better. It is using the free and paid leads I get from MyLeadCompany to increase my email list.

In September, I joined TrafficWave because of the many options they offer. You can Create, send and track unlimited email marketing campaign. It is free for the first month so you have a chance to check it out. Then there is a $19.75 price per month after that. It does work. I am sending out my first TrafficWave email today. Many of you will probably receive one because I am writing to every one I have on my email list.

This was not intended to be an advertisement for MyLeadCompany, and TrafficWave, but I wanted to make the information link so that you could check out the programs for yourself.

Since I have made money from the Traffic Exchanges in other ways than through advertising SFI, I will continue with the same four I corrently have, but will not be joining others. In fact I will likely only keep the two main ones making me an income. These are Nerdbux.com and Neobux.com. Neobux has been in business longer, but I have been getting higher payouts from Nerdbux. In fact I have received enough to purchase their yearly program.

Hope all of this information is valuable to you loyal readers. I have placed this on my blog at SFI also.
