You can try using HitsConnect or ProTrackerPlus and use the grouping feature. Name the group and track the 10 traffic exchanges in that group. Then set up a second group to do the same.

1) you want to ensure your pages are being shown so that is one criteria to track. If the TE is sitting on your credits then add the same url more than once if allowed to see if that will move them, if not then you know it’s a waste of your valuable time.

2) you should also track the call to action clicks (the actual clicking to get to your lead capture page, etc). If people are not clicking to get to your LCP it’s not the TE’s fault so you could change the splash. If you are getting clicks at certain TE’s then you should be focusing on those exchanges.

3) I doubt that a specific to group of 10 is going to give you the results you are looking for. Although you want to test them by groups you have to look at them individually and then pull the ones that are not working well for you until you can find 10 TE’s that work well together for you.

3) in terms of credits you have to know what the ratios are for each exchange you are surfing. Is it 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, etc.

I’m currently working on grouping them by ratio myself, so if the traffic exchange is showing my splash 1 time for every 3 times I view a site then I know I have to surf 300 pages to accumulate a minimum of 100 credits not including bonuses, etc.

Of course, the ultimate goal should be to find a few very productive TE’s and upgrade so you will be working with 1:1 ratios:-)

To work faster, you can find ratios on Tim Linden’s traffic exchange list at http://trafficexchangelist.com

Both HitsConnect and ProTrackerPlus have free memberships and training (including video tutorials) so check those out.

If you need my help let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for coming by.

hello to a fellow MIB’er

is there someway or something that can be used to track the results of surfing on numerous traffic exchanges?

for example, lets say you surf 2 groups of 10 te’s and you want to determine which 10 give the best results, in terms of traffic and credits.

can this be done? how?

thank you

Once I transfer my test and tracking campaigns over to HitsConnect (signed up for the Partner membership today) I should be able to get more in depth including banners, text ads, etc.

I’m just waiting for at least 1000 views per TE in my current tracking campaign using Cligs before I cut it from 50 to 25 so that I can eventually work my way to 10 or maybe push 15.

Blue-Surf has always been a winner for me and based on my latest campaign it hasn’t disappointed;-)

Thanks for swinging by.

Keep up the great testing work. People (including me) always love to see the results of testing and proof that TE’s do work.
