Sugar Coated Feedback Hurts

Below is an article just posted today by Justin Ledvina, my friend and partner in  AdKreator.  This coming from a person who really doesn’t get too involved in using traffic exchanges, but quite honestly, he said it very well. Something we have all tried to explain in our own words in the past and continue [...]

Four Things I like about surfing traffic exchanges

Surfing traffic exchanges forces me to plan and focus. I know that sounds funny, but it’s true. I can get lost for hours on the exchanges if I don’t decide ahead of time what I want to get done. If there are contests I want to participate in, if I need to login to assign [...]

What’s a traffic exchange owner to do?

I’ve been kinda quiet the past couple of weeks. I’ve been giving some thought to the recent controversy over the use of prizes to attract active surfers.

Important branding real estate: your email signature

A while back, I sent one of my regular program update messages to the Soaring4Traffic membership. As I do in all of my messages for Soaring4Traffic, I encouraged the members to login to their accounts. Well imagine my surprise when I got a message back from one of the members asking me to include the [...]
