( I just had to say that)<br />

Whether it’s a new found partnership or reading the latest back a forth. <br />
<br />
<br />
Im not the sharpest knife in the drawer. With that said………<br />
<br />
<br />
Why is it that building YOUR business is the hardest concept for so many people online ? <br />
<br />
I understand that spending money on something that has not made you rich is hard to budget for.<br />
<br />
If you knew you had a chance to make 5 dollars for every 4 you spent would you?<br />
<br />
I know I do it every day.<br />
<br />
What if you had to spend 1,000 on a new feature to be programmed and you just knew you could make 1,001 off it in 6 months would you do it?<br />
<br />
This is the crazy part most said yes to the first one and I probably lost 80% ON THE SECOND ONE<br />
<br />
<br />
but what most don’t think about is in 12 months I should earn another 1001 ++ its not guaranteed But if I earned that much in 6 month how much more will I earn in a year or 2 or 5 years. <br />
<br />
<br />
Your business is an investment of time, energy, effort, focus, and money too to miss any of them it so short yourself.<br />
<br />
You don’t have to own a traffic exchange or an ebook to do good in this business it takes hard work effort and a little practical business sense <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Invest in yourself spend $10 dollars today and try to make $11 from it. If you do, your going to invest 11 the next day LOL <br />
<br />
<br />
And that is my traffic exchange 2 cents!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
You may hear it a different way from time to time. Like the money is in the list. <br />
<br />
I think people view this wrong recently James Holms bought boot scootin traffic <br />
<br />
I am a member and will continue to be so, but it was strange when Sunny Suggs the old owner sent me an e-mail from a foreign address.<br />
<br />
See sunny kept the list and just assumes that since we signed up for bootscootin and she owned bootscootin then we are hers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now My take on this is, “This is wrong for 2 major reasons:”<br />
<br />
1st the members did not optin to Sunny but to boot scootin so the emails sent are unwanted and SPAM.<br />
<br />
2nd James Holmes bought an site that will now be hit double by emails making his purchase less affective.<br />
<br />
<br />
At the very minimum Sunny should have sent out an email with James permission and ASKED people to opt-in for a second time as bootscootin was being sold and with it the ability to send email to a list she no longer owned.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hate feeling like a number on a list I truly do but this is internet marketing 101 and it’s a gross display of how impersonal it can truly be.<br />
<br />
And To Sunny Suggs former owner of boot scootin remove me I didn’t sign up to you I signed up to bootscootin. <br />
<br />
<br />
So I ask you all to let me know what you think Is this SPAM or not?<br />
<br />
<br />
And That is my traffic exchange 2 cents!<br />

I hear that all the time. And I’m floored every time I read that in a tweet or a wall post.<br />
<br />
<br />
Come on really!!!! There are traffic exchange Owners that “poo poo‘s” social surfing but are tweeting there blog post !<br />
<br />
Wow I love it!!!! Living breathing hypocrite, Your trying to gain Social people to your traffic exchange. LOL wow !<br />
<br />
<br />
I don’t know if I made this point clear enough. Is social a fad? Sure it is. It’s a long lasting fad I guess. I think Patrick Griffins <a href="http://www.patrickgriffinonline.com/blog/internet-marketing/traffic-exchanges-social-v-non-social-is-one-better-than-the-other/1649">blog post</a> was good I love the analogy of the Black and white TV seriously!!! Who still owns a working black and white TV?<br />
<br />
The internet is evolving every hour. And to turn your back on the same social technology your using to try to gain a new member is <u>Priceless. </u><br />
<br />
<br />
So to all the Hypocrites out there preaching that social surfing Stinks make sure your not connecting with any one on twitter and facebook cause social don’t work. R<strong>emember?</strong> <br />
<br />
Think of Social in a new Light. If I didn’t catch someones attention for my splash or squeeze page, But they liked me on facebook. I have a second chance at connecting with them. <br />
<br />
And that is why social works. Oh yeah ! Social Works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
And that is my traffic exchange 2 cents. <br />
<br />
James Dias<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
<br />
<br />
If that’s Not enough. I am going to bring a new toy to all the traffic exchanges across the net.<br />
<br />
Im in the final stages of it coming to Life. No hype! ........ Ok im lying......... I want to hype it only cause its not done. <a href="http://www.hitexchangenews.com/news/the-death-of-boring-traffic-exchanges/">Jon Olson</a> Im answering the call to bring something new to the TE world. No clues to what IT is but should be ready or close to ready for Monday. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
LOL I love that Line from Scarface What a crazy movie and will always be a classic.<br />
<br />
But look at the message “The World Is Yours”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBHHhFTJedohFK_1HuU76Qn3Lk51VbRStNThdkIKlskhs-NCRSwpmJbhwH9vuDv_h2u15BFv9IRsOGezmKdX8U_TiACsnymgOW3ozn_odDQieuxZwspp7HO1U7kiDEX2K3ChQdmptpIOab/s1600/theworldisyours.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBHHhFTJedohFK_1HuU76Qn3Lk51VbRStNThdkIKlskhs-NCRSwpmJbhwH9vuDv_h2u15BFv9IRsOGezmKdX8U_TiACsnymgOW3ozn_odDQieuxZwspp7HO1U7kiDEX2K3ChQdmptpIOab/s320/theworldisyours.gif" width="320px" /></a></div>Meaning be the best, strive to new heights and never stop going for IT.<br />
<br />
Or be a drug dealer ( not recommended) <br />
<br />
<br />
But back to the original Thought, What is stopping you from being one of the most influential people in your market?<br />
<br />
I see a lot of people giving up everyday and saying “I cant do it!” or “this is too much work.” there is a million excuses why you cant do something. <br />
<br />
But this post is not about them. Its about how to make the World Yours.<br />
<br />
So be positive My step father Years ago used to tell me to say “ I got IT No problem” and it was so cheesy and seemed to be utter crap……. Till I tried it <br />
<br />
I have done this same speech to my wife and Kids and Myself and countless other people. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 words endless possibilities, And the world can be yours. <br />
<br />
So To Tony Rushing thank you, I got IT No Problem. <br />
<br />
<br />
And that is my traffic exchange 2 cents<br />

But not when surfingI am not a mindless surfer <br />
<br />
<br />
I have read Blog post from both Tim Linden <a href="http://www.timlinden.com/blog/traffic-exchanges/mindlessly-surfing/">http://www.timlinden.com/blog/traffic-exchanges/mindlessly-surfing/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
and Jon Olson <a href="http://www.hitexchangenews.com/news/my-new-rant-its-o-k-to-surf/">http://www.hitexchangenews.com/news/my-new-rant-its-o-k-to-surf/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
While I will never agree 100% with the 2 of them I agree on this point. <br />
<br />
Mindless surfing happens by some <br />
<br />
and Interactive surfing is also happining daily too.<br />
<br />
But like any form of advertising there is going to be mindless views but interactive surfers.<br />
<br />
I loved Tims point to the TV commercial analogy. Some commercials do grab my attention and others I mindlessly stare at the screen.<br />
<br />
I am mindlessly following leaders in the industry to post on a topic I feel passionately about. <br />
LOL I sure am LOL <br />
<br />
If your page is weak or has noting that grabs my attention I will mindlessly look at your page <br />
<br />
If you page is like 100 other page I will mindlessly view it. <br />
<br />
If your page grabs my attention I will Not only view it with attention But I will most likely Join too.<br />
<br />
So today’s lesson is mindless surfing happening Yes<br />
Is it the advertisers responsibility to change that YEP <br />
Can a traffic exchange Help OH YES! Testing testing and testing <br />
<br />
And that’s My traffic exchange 2 cents<br />

<br />
<br />
Lets get real Traffic Exchanges work. Where are you going to find a huge amount of traffic to your website that will work with amazing effectiveness and has no or little monetary cost associated with it. <br />
<br />
The Hit Exchange World is On fire right Now!<br />
<br />
With new owners dropping there hat in the ring. Im not talking about some fly by night sites Im talking about Owners that are going to be around for years and years to come.<br />
<br />
There is more advancements in the traffic exchange industry in the last 6 months than there has been in the last 6 years.<br />
<br />
People are breathing new life in to the traffic exchange industry opening Blogs and getting social and getting back to the forums too. <br />
<br />
Were talking about Traffic exchange summits and offline meetings. <br />
<br />
<br />
That’s right folks the traffic exchange hit exchange and social exchanges are growing.<br />
<br />
But its also time to get smart about then too <br />
<br />
If some lonely TE owner wants to spread Hate in all there e-mails it might be time to move on!<br />
<br />
If a TE owner cant answer a support ticket its probably time to move on!<br />
<br />
And If a TE owner closes your account cause A mail provider they don’t like ( Comcast) its time to move on!<br />
<br />
<br />
If a TE is being talked about and you see the page in rotation its TIME TO JOIN!<br />
<br />
And that’s just my traffic exchange 2 cents!<br />

Hi My Name is <a href="http://internettraffic247.com/m2m/James+Dias.3.html">James Dias</a> and i’m a traffic exchange-aholic. <br />
<br />
I wake up in the morning thinking how can I rock The traffic exchange industry.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUD6q-G99UuZwklPC0JPJ3oSHFF_rmtq2LrfZ0Cibe3oZChTK_xAcsoPvb09lYGPK14882yGYxJNL_raLeAbTWlYc_VsXi7rv8yFUB058Q2LrYEcxz2xPoDCcPOgN40vdwxd1kaYo25D4/s1600/Internet247clogo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="101px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUD6q-G99UuZwklPC0JPJ3oSHFF_rmtq2LrfZ0Cibe3oZChTK_xAcsoPvb09lYGPK14882yGYxJNL_raLeAbTWlYc_VsXi7rv8yFUB058Q2LrYEcxz2xPoDCcPOgN40vdwxd1kaYo25D4/s200/Internet247clogo.gif" width="200px" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The NEW IT LOGO</td></tr>
</tbody></table>I go to sleep at night thinking the same thing. <br />
<br />
Something in me tells me I’m going to hit that hot button. Or I built it just right. But its that quest that keeps me going. <br />
<br />
It’s a passion that is tough to describe. I love the business and some times I get a little frustrated but I have been marketing both online and off since 2001 I have worked for some pretty cool places and learned a lot.<br />
<br />
But the one thing that I love the most about The Traffic Exchange industry. Is the people that are surfing with me at IT and other owners and people that are just plain good at TE marketing.<br />
<br />
I’m not trying to get all sentimental on whoever reads this. BUT…. I will say thank you to every one that is helping me and working with me and surfing Traffic Exchanges with me<br />
<br />
Ok I’m done…… with this post!<br />
<br />
And that is my traffic exchange 2 cents!<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Why is when something is original they say “Now that’s thinking out side of the box” </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Or when its Not enough they say again “Try to think more out side of the box”</div><br />
Seriously this is what we have chalked up to success thinking outside the box is boring and mundane. Everyone and there dog and brother is doing it. <br />
<br />
And when did we start rewarding people for stealing Ideas. Is thinking outside the box?<br />
<br />
Im so amazed that with all the resources and technology people still thinks its cool to take something with out ever building it for themselves.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I, like many other webmasters think it is time to think more about your business. And be more creative with your business. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So I say stop thinking outside of the box and start just thinking. Be creative, Be original and Be Amazing its not hard Just be yourself. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">And that is my (out of the box traffic) exchange 2 cents</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Don’t run …….. Just give it a second. <br />
<br />
The topic is splash pages, If you received my email you will know this is an extension of the email.<br />
Splash pages are one of the least expensive ways to powerfully generate attention to your page. <br />
<br />
My goal is to show you why a splash page will dominate the results look at the 2 pages below and ask your self which one grabs your attention. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://internettraffic247.com/Control/temp/data/splashing2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://internettraffic247.com/Control/temp/data/splashing2.gif" t8="true" /></a><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqk_fyCljLZzLAk5nQZgmsx6t8PJTScTKu0fitxxhYV3jDmsd3nI5BpaYccd23SuKix36RmEn7OnGSGAp_wYBWjsPSm73jGM4ngAUVuIPEizGWA02fiFvYARBPs01CKIylzAsV5dRPe-76/s1600/splaching.gif" t8="true" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I don’t build the best splash page ( trust me I know this) but when I build my own it is me that is promoting the site. Not some one else. Its through my eyes and not the owners.<br />
<br />
All I ask is that you try a splash page today. Take an affiliate link you would normally use and build a splash page for it and try it for 60 days at any site or a bunch of sites. But run it. <br />
<br />
There is a lot of sites that will help you build splash pages Google splash page design or head over to <br />
<a href="http://www.adkreator.com/?rid=Ablaze">Ad Kreator</a> or If you have Photoshop or a paint program try that! But do something!<br />
<br />
And test your results have fun and its ok to splash in a traffic exchange pool <br />
<br />
and that is my traffic exchange 2 cents<br />

ps<br />
I got the Idea From Jon olson's book ( No! Im not original LOL)James Diashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17991282350531267602noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748281755079534892.post-68369259193872295672011-06-14T12:21:00.000-07:002011-06-14T12:26:20.344-07:00Cant we all Just get along......{EAV_BLOG_VER:427d73e094bd3ffb}<br />
<br />
The short answer is No! and here is a few reasons Why we cant.<br />
<br />
Why because we all have opinions and ideas that we believe in. Not a bad thing.<br />
<br />
<strong>Some people are tired traffic exchange ONLY.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Some People Don’t Like Social Hit Exchange. </strong><br />
If you hate social close that bad old face book account or twitter or you tube or insert 100 other names here<br />
<br />
<strong>Claiming to Be #1 </strong><br />
Seriously in what catergory? what are you #1 in? <br />
<br />
<strong>Names Disputes</strong> <br />
Ok How many something buX sites can there possibly be?<br />
<br />
<strong>Copying Ideas</strong> <br />
Ok Bad topic for some and fun for others. But this is a hot button Try this talk to the person who has something similar to what you do and Talk to them some time the war can be avoided by talking.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Slander OR speaking ill of others</strong><br />
It is so easy to write a venomous e-mail or a facebook post . But why? Is this your business model? Is it profitable to cut out a % of your business because you are so mad at the world. <br />
<br />
I have complaints about others from time to time but I not going to rip them a new one. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Which leads me to the probably the #1 reason why we cant get along<br />
<br />
<strong>Ethics </strong><br />
<br />
Ethics this one I am not going to comment on too much because I think we all could question out own ethics a little everyday to ensure we are doing the best we can and keeping a high standard.<br />
<br />
And that’s my traffic exchange 2 cents <br />
<br />

This Weekend Warrior Forum is all the buzz about traffic exchanges and if they work. <br />
Come on now I Know they work I wouldn’t be in this business if they didn’t <br />
<br />
But Jon Olson - John “Q-zon” Guanzon and other owners and members are weighing in on the <br />
<br />
Question “Do traffic Exchanges Work?” <br />
<br />
Im not recommending WF But I am recommending if you an owner or a loyal user then its time to be heard.<br />
<br />
And at the same time its fun too <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
As humans we believe this. And in some aspects this is true and in others this couldn’t be farther from the truth.<br />
<br />
Example One: I have a dollar and that’s good but 10 would be better. ( I agree)<br />
<br />
Example Two: I have one traffic exchange making a dollar BUT 10 would be better ( NO!)<br />
<br />
<br />
See in example two there is a broken logic and we are going to break this down so you can see the logic:<br />
<br />
<strong>1 traffic exchange</strong> VS <strong>10 traffic exchanges</strong> <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Effort</u></strong><br />
If you have one traffic exchange 100% of your marketing efforts go to project and 10 te’s only get >10% because of the time it takes to change gears.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Time</u></strong> <br />
one hour surfing for one traffic exchange = 10 hours surfing for 10 traffic exchanges<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Cost</u></strong> <br />
cost is a huge factor Items you pay for like: Script, graphics, hosting, and your monthly ad budget, all factor in. or with 10 you can pay 10 times that.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Members</u></strong><br />
It’s a fact what there is only about 3 - 4 degrees of separation between traffic exchanges and the members. Keep this in mind that if you have a unique traffic exchange that offers great service and a good value People will upgrade.<br />
<br />
But if you have 10 the traffic exchanges they are not going to be so unique and the customer service is going to suffer and the value will also suffer <br />
<br />
<strong><u>ROI</u></strong> <br />
This is the most over looked factor in the traffic exchange industry. Now I’m not going to debate top of the mind advertising or exposure. <br />
But I will say this the average TE will not make it at all. Sorry it’s a fact that over 50% will not make it to a year. <br />
<br />
Lets say you get away with only spending 1000 dollars in the first 2 months of opening a traffic exchange.<br />
<br />
That’s $10,000 if you opened 10 traffic exchanges.<br />
<br />
Imagine if you doubled you efforts and focus on just one great traffic exchange. You could and can earn 2 to 10X the amount you could if you had 10 with little focus and effort placed in them. <br />
<br />
ASK yourself this would you buy one $10,000 car <strong><u>or</u></strong> ten $1,000 cars? Which one is going to be the best for you? <br />
<br />
But that is Just my traffic exchange 2 cents. <br />

<br />
Why because your connections today lead to new opportunities and friendships tomorrow.<br />
<br />
No one gets it right the first time and with the traffic exchange world growing (yes I Said Growing) the people that are out there talking about the business and helping the business are the ones that will be successful in the business. HINT They are the ones to get to know.<br />
<br />
I firmly believe in a positive attitude. When I wake up and see that my career path is Playing on the internet. I get very excited.<br />
<br />
Imagine that you don’t have to punch a clock and want to work longer hours. I’m what they call a small business owner. And I invest very heavily in to my Business. <br />
<br />
This holds true to your website. The effort and skills you bring to the site are going to reflect the performance very quickly. And yes you can learn this stuff. <br />
<br />
SO here is this weeks challenge Get socially connected with us and others and make steps to growing your business. <br />
<br />
Also I reviewed two sites this weekend and am excited to share them with you all.<br />

<br />
Lets talk about traffic exchanges and the fact we are Joining and reviewing them.<br />
<br />
There is 3 major points we are hitting <br />
<br />
Home page <br />
is it strong simple detailed or templated. And yes we are reading them SPELLING never counts when it comes to me as I cant spell to save my LIFE.<br />
<br />
Second is the members area<br />
<br />
All im looking for inside is there stuff to do? is it cool ?<br />
<br />
And last is SURF <br />
<br />
This to me is the most important as this is where I am other members spend the most time is surfing. <br />
This is also there the over all grade can go up or down big time.<br />
<br />
I did a couple so far and will be adding new ones all the time. ( And keep in mind this is just an opinion of a fellow surfer and a traffic exchange owner) I’m not a guru or one of the big guys.<br />
<br />
And that is my traffic exchange 2 cents <br />

<br />
On the Home page the Truck is a great mascots One thing notices is the image for the page and the background don’t quite match it looks a little off but that is cosmetic <br />
<br />
the sites home page is is basic and simple with some detail <br />
<br />
In the members area the display for functions is straight for simple to use <br />
<br />
The surf is good I love the signs ( Im a very big fan of the signs) the chat is not matching with the surf 100% but again cosmetic and maybe add a little color to the surfbars it feels a little unfinished in the surf area <br />
<br />
<br />
This traffic exchange receives a YES recommendation and a grade of a B - <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfVaWnHxLzjkaYarcag8ldbWtRth0zORCDNaC6DqUzgc9oLfV1LLHnyi29phQYTHrPuqxfkuDygnT5g7VzYM6MnqEPfcLYXIV1T1w2RMzVY4Kgufnt80wMmlnwA6duaLF861TVDENkfkD/s1600/backtoschool.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfVaWnHxLzjkaYarcag8ldbWtRth0zORCDNaC6DqUzgc9oLfV1LLHnyi29phQYTHrPuqxfkuDygnT5g7VzYM6MnqEPfcLYXIV1T1w2RMzVY4Kgufnt80wMmlnwA6duaLF861TVDENkfkD/s320/backtoschool.gif" width="250px" /></a></div>I registered at my local community collage today that’s right 32 years old and on my way back to school.<br />
<br />
I took the first step I talked about it. The second step was to take action I did by registering. <br />
<br />
So now the third step is to find classes that meet what I need, I’m looking for graphic design and some CSS but more than that I want to network with people like me and learn from them. <br />
<br />
don’t get me wrong I’m available in Skype for people who share my interest. In fact I challenge other traffic exchange owners to connect with me. And I want to add that personal element where we can bounce ideas. <br />
<br />
We all talk about connections. So why collage well I didn’t do it the first time. I love the traffic exchange industry and I want to add more to it and my goal is to bring more powerful people to the business. <br />
<br />
An I going to be rich and famous from doing this NO probably not !<br />
<br />
Am I going to add something and improve upon an existing idea YEP! <br />
<br />
I want my daughter and brother ( the kids) to be proud of me. I think that’s the single most important factor for me. <br />
<br />
So this weeks challenge is to get out of you comfort zone and do something to bring IT to the traffic exchange industry <br />
<br />
<br />
And That is My traffic exchange 2 cents.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKm3RZoROt3nZt5zHGmXn0mTtRsIT5dOJzNOSPQray29Fpz5D7iekVzJkcwqEQvJJFXXbiPpxFOHpgp4WLcQzw0xlw9pJY8S-x08ucFAJ8-_vPMqBkOjgtlFMuQ0xP_7jAbeAnJvwHGz_h/s1600/Ablaze+for+a+cure+logo+Ribbon+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKm3RZoROt3nZt5zHGmXn0mTtRsIT5dOJzNOSPQray29Fpz5D7iekVzJkcwqEQvJJFXXbiPpxFOHpgp4WLcQzw0xlw9pJY8S-x08ucFAJ8-_vPMqBkOjgtlFMuQ0xP_7jAbeAnJvwHGz_h/s200/Ablaze+for+a+cure+logo+Ribbon+2.jpg" width="150px" /></a></div>And for My beautiful wife I honor her as a wonderful mother of our amazing daughter. <br />
<br />
But I also, her for being the lady that has stepped up to be a mother for my kid brother.<br />
<br />
See in august of 2005 My mother “ Carla Jean” passes away at the age of 44. She had small cell lung cancer.<br />
<br />
My brothers Matthew was 9 at the time and is now 15. My wife loves Matthew and yells at him and takes care of him like her own. <br />
<br />
That to me is what mothers day is all about. While my wife is one amazing woman there are millions of other stories not unlike hers.<br />
<br />
There are mothers fighting on the front lines in our military. And women that raise kids on there own with no support or help and never complain. And there are women that take on roles not because they have too but because they want to.<br />
<br />
So this blog post is for moms all over the world and my beautiful wife of over 10 years. <br />
<br />
Happy Mothers Day <br />
<br />
and that’s my traffic exchange 2 cents.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This works for all members of IT this Monday its going to get a little more fun to surf IT.</div>James Diashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17991282350531267602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748281755079534892.post-69942863908795490172011-05-06T11:55:00.000-07:002011-05-06T21:37:59.046-07:00Don’t read this… If you LOVE Sp@mI thought it was super funny when I opened my mail box this morning and saw over a 100 emails from other traffic exchanges talking about Super surf this, and down line that, and cash here to do this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihBFNMg29-T6JndjbyAx4XbRTRqKWh3tBMBjJd4tnWkbiHrhdShZS8sUJjZiwIoVjwjGSKdrdMntR6LI2GCdarF_ZdjIkp1zYqYdAk7Tnb8QmIyY0TtxQrcVv1hslXPOkef-wj3xyPlJy_/s1600/morespam.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihBFNMg29-T6JndjbyAx4XbRTRqKWh3tBMBjJd4tnWkbiHrhdShZS8sUJjZiwIoVjwjGSKdrdMntR6LI2GCdarF_ZdjIkp1zYqYdAk7Tnb8QmIyY0TtxQrcVv1hslXPOkef-wj3xyPlJy_/s200/morespam.gif" width="200px" /></a></div>I started laughing at a few of them cause when I read the email its all just the same crap.<br />
<br />
Some exchanges have it to where the send me 2 of the same exact emails back to back. Like I’m not smart enough to see it in the first place. <br />
<br />
Or when I deleted the first one it suddenly dawned on me “ holy spam batman! I should have read that one WOW I am super lucky this traffic exchange sent me two of them” <br />
<br />
I hope you feel the sarcasm in that.<br />
Cause we need to have humor in this business and the more I watch the more of the same I see. Imagine for a second every time you get in the car the same song is on. ( On every channel) but there is still county and rap and metal versions of the same song.<br />
<br />
But I am done digressing for now cause <br />
<br />
I have a surprise for everyone Monday Fingers Crossed the finishing touches of what I belive will be an addicting surfing past time. We are calling this fun new toy “Grab IT” and grab it is going to well you decide to learn more about grab it follow this link…….. <a href="http://jimboville.blogspot.com/2011/05/grab-it-new-surf-game-from-it-going.html">http://jimboville.blogspot.com/2011/05/grab-it-new-surf-game-from-it-going.html</a><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Today I was watching the T3 and saw something I have never seen so clearly.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyeZemaUSV_C0k4NlQMHIXox5iHLHW182QrO8h6djaLpRHUhEhWplTlVdjkbkaqOmEx5dMYxtbomPBUlPBkoJsloCTsW8kMdmtweWNJeK_uFa6Pfc1imsZ9eeTbH0gsexhSibJKd0MpRuB/s1600/canadianalphabetjon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyeZemaUSV_C0k4NlQMHIXox5iHLHW182QrO8h6djaLpRHUhEhWplTlVdjkbkaqOmEx5dMYxtbomPBUlPBkoJsloCTsW8kMdmtweWNJeK_uFa6Pfc1imsZ9eeTbH0gsexhSibJKd0MpRuB/s1600/canadianalphabetjon.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">With out using exact examples. I see this is clearly a problem and its getting worse.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Everyone wants to know “what’s in it for me?” “what do I get out of it?”</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>This mentality is killing some small business and our industry is no different. The old cliché if you give someone an inch….. I think you get the point.<br />
<br />
I love to win things I think every one does but think of this. What prize did Jon Olson win? When he is spending time in front of 75 people ranting ( Yes Jon is crazy at times) I don’t agree with him 100% of the time. <br />
<br />
He makes more $ online then I do (duhhhhh!.) When was the last time someone thanked him for his time. How many times has someone like Jon been burnt, and still keeps doing it. I'm just going to guess he is not everyones favorite person.<br />
<br />
Trust me Jon sometimes is a blow hard ( oh boy! that is going to come back to bite me) BUT.... <br />
<br />
There is times when what he says is some of the best advice you could get and it was free on top of that.<br />
<br />
And there is a lot of owners that try to give, it may be a free upgrade and hand full of credit’s, or a coffee cup.<br />
<br />
But there is always going to be one person that doesn't think something is fair or they want more. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I do this business because I love it. And if I have something extra to give I try to. I donate to cancer with my profits and Jon Olson donated $50.00 to my cause not cause he needed to but because he thought it was the right thing to do. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So today </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I thank you Jon Olson </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Not just for donating the money to Ablaze for a cure. Not for giving stuff away. But more for standing up and being loud passionate and talking traffic exchange.<br />
<br />
Next post will be back to the good stuff that’s more traffic exchange-ish.<br />
<br />
And that is my traffic exchange 2 cents <br />
