Reviewer of Sites

There are quite a number of traffic exchange sites, but I am going to review three of the top ones.

TrafficG

The first one is TrafficG.  It is not the largest or most popular, but  the layout is immediately easy to understand.   Unlike so many sites out there this one does not try to confuse you into clicking on something else.

The main page shows you your current credits (how many you have earned), the sites in which the credits can be distributed, and the Start Surfing button.

The Start Surfing is also available on the left side of the screen, along the menu.  Each page you visit uses a Captcha in the upper left corner, in order to deter automation.  You simply click on one of the three Captcha choices that you see.  Currently it is set to 20 seconds minimum between sites.

Features include:

1. Very simple site navigation and layout
2. One “splash page”
3. An excellent referral program, including contests
4. Many banners to use for referrals
5. A simple to use toolbar
6. 20 second timer

EasyHits4U

EasyHits4U is the most popular traffic exchange around.  It has existed since 2003.  The layout is pretty easy to follow, with a menu bar at the top of the site.

Features include:

1. Earn real money or credits toward more traffic
2. Includes a directory to add your site
3. Includes many prebuilt splash pages
4. Option to create your own splash pages
5. A site rotator to help you to manage, host, and track your sites
6. 20 second timer

StartXchange

StartXchange looks like it will catch up to others because of the founder very aggressively comping up with creative ways of gaining visitors and members.  He also hosts a very popular traffic exchange directory, which certainly helps.  It is the oldest, having been created in 2001.   Many of the traffic exchange sites out there are using a script written by the founder, Tim Linden.  He created the first version of StartXchange when he was 15 years old.  If you’re looking for an innovative traffic exchange then this is it.  They set the standard.

Features include:

1. Chat option
2. Contests and prizes
3. Ability to join various teams of people competing for prizes
4. An active forum
5. A very good referral program
6. Easy to understand layout and navigation
7. 10 second timer

The fact that practically all kinds of products may be distributed freely in promotional aims is not a secret to anyone. You always should or even must be aware that some products of your market are distributed very often as freebies!

Promotional products are still in great demand and if you ignore this, your items may become inconsequential and even work against you. Time is not a fixed phenomenon – lifestyles change, we do change with them as well as promotional items or show gifts. The usual calendars and drinkware that were used let’s say 30 years ago have undergone huge transformation – they become more handy and more individualistic. In order to find out what holiday gifts your target audience requires you are to consider their tastes. You should invest quite a bit in promo items they will likely never let you down.

Do not learn from others’ mistakes! This is a golden rule: Spend more on satisfying your client than saving on him. Do not just sell or give out tiny things that will sooner or later be thrown out from the office, car or home. Be creative if you still want to be a major player on your market.

There is an excellent resource for advertising promotional products at Get Your Promotional Products.com.  They are basically a one-stop shop for information and links to businesses that sell promotional products, such as promotional bags, buttons, magnets, Frisbees, and even umbrellas.  All businesses are challenged with getting potential customers to visit their place of business.  One of the more effective ways to do this is to give away, sell, or award people with items emblazoned with your logo.  Rather than pay for advertising on the internet, radio, or in print, you can provide your customer with an almost constant reminder of the service that you offer.  They even offer discounts at a growing list of merchants.

Another great feature of the site is that they have reviews of the businesses that offer promotional products for other businesses.  If you’re having difficulty choosing between two or three, you can quickly narrow it down based upon the reviews from others.  To my knowledge, Get Your Promotional Products.com is the only site out there offering reviews of such businesses.

So, if you are in the business of selling promotional items or looking for someone to sell you promotional items, then you should consider advertising the promotional items with Get Your Promotional Products.com!

It is loaded with features, including a keyword research tool, template management, content import, free article search for additional content, product review integration, built in ClickBank search, Ebay RSS feed support, and a directory.  I love the fact that this offers tools for Affiliate Marketers.  With careful search engine optimization (SEO) and built-in desktop support with this wonderful program, you can start making money in a very short period of time.

Today I took a close look at an SEO company based in India called SEO MegaCorp. Being that I am reviewing an SEO consulting website, I decided to look at things such as keyword density and other on-page search engine optimization concerns. I can say that they have done an excellent job so far. Their top words are: SEO, megacorp, search engine, optimization. They also offer SEO services, an SEO news blog, a forum, articles, and tools. The domain is fairly new so it is difficult to check their Search Engine Results Page (SERP). I believe they are on the right track. On top of the above mentioned, they also offer website design and development.

The design of the various pages of SEO MegaCorp is simple, yet pleasing to the eye. I do think that the difference in color and basic design between the blog and the main page should be matched up, as the blog currently has a blue and white theme, whereas the main page has a green and white theme.

They do have a growing list of testimonials from happy customers to attest to their performance and customer service. One thing that impressed me was their published Code of Ethics. I think it’s important to state this and follow through on it.

Here’s part of their message:

Our fundamental company values stem from understanding that our successis tied with success of our clients.

I could not agree more with their principles! So, if you are looking for an excellent company to help you with your website, definitely consider SEO MegaCorp as an option.
