Six months ago I started to attend GRCC (&lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Rapids_Community_College" title="Grand Rapids Community College" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Grand Rapids Community College&lt;/a&gt;) for their Introduction to Construction Trades class at The Leslie E.

Tassell M-TEC Building provides a hands-on classes for different trades, which has been a great experience for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moral of this story is and why the excitement is that I was featured for GRCC Marketing Campaign, which is awesome.

Now I knew what The Magic Jack is, but never really looked into purchasing one anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm usually on the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone" title="Telephone" rel="wikipedia"&gt;phone&lt;/a&gt; most of the time, like many of us. My &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_old_telephone_service" title="Plain old telephone service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;telephone service&lt;/a&gt; provider was Vonage, which is great service for international calling, costing me $43 a month. Now calculating that over a year is $516 a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well its no rocket science when you compare $19.95 a year to $516 a yr. Your best bet would be to go with $19.95 a year and save $496. What can you do with that extra money? Hmmm decisions, decisions right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another great thing about having a Magic jack is that, you can sen a Magic Jack to a loved one who lives or is stationed overseas. This gives them a local U.S phone number. Now you can call them wherever they live and they can call anywhere in the U.S and Canada at no additional cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.themagicjack.ca/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=602_0_1_4" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.themagicjack.ca/idevaffiliate/banners/468x60-banner.gif" border="0" height="60" width="468" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Magic Jack is a portable phone jack that connects to your USB and phone calls can be made through your computer. &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Voip" title="Voip" rel="wikinvest"&gt;VOIP&lt;/a&gt; is what we call it these days.

How will Twitter respond?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 392px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/Sqpw8BYmveI/AAAAAAAAAN8/PriKwVQJTwY/s400/Erasmo_velez_facebook_lite.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380236881313578466" border="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this the New level of Social Networking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we now have &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://facebook.com/" title="Facebook" rel="homepage"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; Lite in the U.S., a slimmed down, sexier version of Facebook. It’s been said for a while that Facebook may have a long term problem with &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://twitter.com/" title="Twitter" rel="homepage"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; because it was too bloated, while Twitter was so light and simple — talk of that should die down now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how will Twitter respond?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facebook users sick of the clutter of photos, information, wall applications, links and posts will now have the option of switching to a pared-down version of the world's most popular social networking site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facebook Lite, launched today in the US and now live for Australian users, boasts a scaled down down format, minus the lower applications toolbar, advertisements, friends, photos and videos lists and a larger font.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new display, as well as being less crammed, is also faster than the traditional Facebook window, which means a reduction in the size of the page a computer needs to download.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All pages on the site seem to be affected. They load faster, partly due to what appears to be &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" title="HTML" rel="wikipedia"&gt;HTML&lt;/a&gt; optimization at Facebook," Rafe Needleman said on &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CNET" title="NASDAQ: CNET" rel="stockexchange"&gt;CNET&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micro social networking site Twitter has thrived by providing a medium for users to spread news from countries where internet is heavily regulated or slower, such as Iran and Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In another attempt to keep up with Twitter, Facebook status updates now appear in real time along the bottom of the screen, replacing the toolbar which on the full version of Facebook holds applications, events, photos and groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lite.facebook.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 238px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/SqqELbHzz9I/AAAAAAAAAOE/gdmCmzQZhas/s400/facebook+lite.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380258036641419218" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lite.facebook.com/"&gt;Launch Facebook Lite&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rival &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_service" title="Social network service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;social networking website&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://myspace.com/" title="MySpace" rel="homepage"&gt;MySpace&lt;/a&gt; launched its own `lite' version in April.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we expecting to see Twitter Lite?

The first question that came to mind was "What the heck is Twitter?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a short description about what Twitter is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Twitter&lt;/span&gt; is a free &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_service" title="Social network service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;social networking&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-blogging" title="Micro-blogging" rel="wikipedia"&gt;micro-blogging&lt;/a&gt; service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_message_service" title="Short message service" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Short Message Service&lt;/a&gt; (SMS) or external applications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/Sm8hkS2CCjI/AAAAAAAAANM/qIhLwai6QFI/s400/twitter+not+a+chat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363542588639021618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can tell you right off the bat that I was overwhelmed by how many followers others have. But of course this is not another popularity contest, at least not for me. I've been using Twitter for a little over 4 months now and have a small following for now. There are many scripts that allow you to gain a large list of followers to help you gain some momentum or a "Smore" as Guy Kawasaki would call it. I'm not quite there, just yet. But if you like a large following on Twitter here are some of the things that you might want to start doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Follow the "smores," or &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Social_media" title="Social media" rel="wikinvest"&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; whores.&lt;/span&gt; Get a good idea of who these opinion  leaders are by viewing twitter counter.com, twitterati.alltop.com and egos.alltop.com. Many have scripts that will auto-follow you, and you might learn something from watching what they tweet about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Auto Follow:&lt;/span&gt; Automatically follow people based on keywords. Great way to build followers. Discover people with the same interest as you. You can test how the service works by going to www.twollow.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Create an effective avatar&lt;/span&gt;: Your avatar (your picture) is a window into your soul, so create one that doesn't look like you shot it with your &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_phone" title="Camera phone" rel="wikipedia"&gt;camera phone&lt;/a&gt;. Use a simple, informal, straight-up &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mug_shot" title="Mug shot" rel="wikipedia"&gt;mug shot&lt;/a&gt;- not you and your cat blazing guns or a picture of a celebrity. Create one that raises the question, "How did he do that?" When people view your tweets your avatar should stand out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Follow everyone that follows you.&lt;/span&gt;  Most people will respond to you and everyone who follows them will see this- which is more exposure for you.  It's impossible to read what all your followers tweet after getting more than 50 followers. Start to focus on DM (direct messages) and PM (public messages)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Link interesting stories and pictures:&lt;/span&gt; The Twitter pick up artist is always linking and posting interesting articles, pictures and videos. Stay on top of current events and tweet them. See how many RTs (retweet) you get for your tweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Establish yourself as an expert on your niche:&lt;/span&gt; Cooking, marketing, pets, real estate you get my drift. If you do a search on your niche or expertise and answer peoples questions. People will most likely follow you and RT your post. That give you more exposure. Don't be afraid to express your opinion on your post.  It's better that some people refuse to follow you than no one knows who you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Use the right tools:&lt;/span&gt; I use &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/" title="TweetDeck" rel="homepage"&gt;TweetDeck&lt;/a&gt; on my laptop. If you're out on the road Twitter applications is now available on many phones. Contact your service provider to see which applications your phone is compatible with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Repeat your tweets:&lt;/span&gt; Most people check in at about the same time every day, so people probably won't notice repeat tweets. Post your most interesting tweets 2-3 times at least seven hours apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ask people to follow you:&lt;/span&gt; With my experience as far as sales. I was taught to ask for the sale. Not beg for it. Same scenario on Twitter. As I said earlier in this post this is not a popularity contest, but if you feel that you can offer solutions and that your opinion can help others than go on ahead and ask to be follow. What's the worst that can happen? You get a no follow?

It has the ability to award a set amount of people or everyone who is &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing" title="Surfing" rel="wikipedia"&gt;surfing&lt;/a&gt; at the time the Jackpot goes off. Now it can distribute any amount of cash, credits, banner impressions and text links impression. It can also award a set number of people or all people logged in and surfing and it can award the prize pool to be split amongst all surfers or each surfer win a specific prize. So you see how powerful this module is and how versatile it can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When there is no Jackpot contest in session you will see the default &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.logoonline.com/" title="Logo (TV channel)" rel="homepage"&gt;Logo&lt;/a&gt; in the surfbar. If a contest is in session you will see a meter. Now when you see the meter, pay close attention to how is moving, you will see it start to climb and the closer it gets to release the Jackpot, you will see it starting to shake. If you are a chosen winner the last image you see will be an image of the word ” WINNER” flashing on the logo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are not a member, It’s time to join!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.traffictaxis.com/?rid=1813"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traffictaxis.com/admin/contests/jp_mile10.jpg" height="50" width="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.volcanohits.com/?rid=87"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 50px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/SiBwRapSp7I/AAAAAAAAAKU/I5MiXZnn7nA/s200/volcano+jackpot+traffic+exchange.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341392602574006194" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.trafficwonderland.com/?rid=7892"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq30/erasmovlz/pilox1.gif" height="50" width="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://skyscrapersurf.com/?rid=470"&gt;&lt;img src="http://icontroltraffic.com/dlb/images/jackpot_win_skyscraper.jpg" height="50" width="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.fasteasytraffic.com/?r=69151"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.fasteasytraffic.com/milestones/contests/jp_mile10.jpg" height="50" width="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://swattraffic.com/?rid=13252"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 50px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/SiBx0Mo7vQI/AAAAAAAAAKc/NY3v-SOgJo0/s200/Swat+Traffic+Exchange+Jackpot+surfing.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341394299621457154" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://trafficgoldrush.com/?rid=118"&gt;&lt;img src="http://trafficgoldrush.com/admin/contests/jp_mile10.jpg" height="50" width="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.tunnelrattraffic.com/?rid=2026"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.tunnelrattraffic.com/admin/contests/jp_mile10.jpg" height="50" width="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Want to Get More Traffic for Your Time Clicking TEs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is basically a tool to reassign the "next&lt;br /&gt;tab" &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_shortcut" title="Keyboard shortcut" rel="wikipedia"&gt;hot-key&lt;/a&gt;, so it's no wonder he called it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://quicktabchange.com/?rid=2277"&gt;"Quick Tab Change".

It takes a a lot of time and patience to see results and get a positive response on your endeavor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During years of &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error" title="Trial and error" rel="wikipedia"&gt;trial and error&lt;/a&gt; coming up with the perfect &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia"&gt;marketing&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_plan" title="Marketing plan" rel="wikipedia"&gt;plan&lt;/a&gt; has shed some light to where I might have done somethings wrong and have corrected many and in constant search for perfection. But of course nothing is ever perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your marketing plan should be a simple (in some cases, one-page) document that specifically answers who you are, what you do, who needs what you do and how you plan to attract their attention. It's a combination of the planning process and the completed action plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are 7 steps to the perfect marketing plan that has helped me and can help you Build Your Brand meaning "YOU"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 1: Narrow your market focus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to describe your ideal customer in the narrowest and most detailed terms possible, as though you're describing him or her to a referral source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 2: Position your business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Figure out what you do best and what you target market wants. maybe it's how you serve a niche or package you products. If you don't know what it is, call up some of your clients and ask them why they buy from you. Craft a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 3: Create &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education" title="Education" rel="wikipedia"&gt;education&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;-bases marketing materials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recreate all your marketing materials, including your Website, Blog, &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.squidoo.com/homepage/index.php" title="Squidoo" rel="homepage"&gt;Squidoo&lt;/a&gt; Lens etc... to focus on education. Make certain every word in your marketing materials speaks of your core message and to your target market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 4: Never Cold Call&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just think about the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098904/" title="Seinfeld (season 8)" rel="imdb"&gt;Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; episode when the telemarketer calls him and his response was to ask for the telemarketers home phone number to call him back. The point to this comment is that you want to make sure all your &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising" title="Advertising" rel="wikipedia"&gt;advertising&lt;/a&gt; is geared toward creating prospects, not customers. You must find ways to educate before you sell. Your target market need to learn how you provide value in a way that makes them want to pay a premium for your services or products. You simply can't do this ia a 3-inch-by-4-inch ad. Your ad must get viewers to ask for more information. Then you can proceed to selling. Determine all the ways you can get your education-based messages in front of your target market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 5: Earn media attention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create a list of journalist (just an example) who cover your industry or community, and become a reliable resource of information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 6: Expect referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create a referral marketing engine that systematically turns each client and referral network into a kind of unpaid &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales" title="Sales" rel="wikipedia"&gt;sales&lt;/a&gt; pro. You must instill a referral marketing mind-set into your business's culture. Do this by making every customer a marketing and referral contact. Map every contact and build processes that focus on referrals.&lt;br /&gt;"Remember not everyone that you come into contact with will buy or join your business, but they might know of someone that can use your product or services."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 7: Live by a calendar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you complete steps 1 through 6, determine what you need to do to put them into action. then create an annual marketing calendar, noting the required monthly, weekly and daily appointments necessary to move your plan forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to order &lt;a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=2575559"&gt; Learn How To Brand Yourself To Win&lt;/a&gt; today and receive a $10 discount of original cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @ErasmoVelez Building Your Brand and Market like a Pro. %20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/48e87617-0e25-42e9-a623-26f5e6254827/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=48e87617-0e25-42e9-a623-26f5e6254827" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-690193303812250606?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Now today, I want to share with you on how you can generate extra &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income" title="Income" rel="wikipedia"&gt;income&lt;/a&gt; from using them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So not only did you learn how to use lead capture pages, which is the correct way to use Traffic Exchanges, and how to maximize your efforts and time on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what many of the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfers_%28talker%29" title="Surfers (talker)" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Surfers&lt;/a&gt; do on Traffic Exchanges is that they promote other traffic exchanges as the sites to promote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well not only do you get a share of the credits from the person that signed up, but also the majority of these Traffic Exchanges pay you for signing up a new member.&lt;br /&gt;It can range any where from 0.25 to $1.00. Also if the member upgrades you will earn a percentage from their order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just wanted to add a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-payment" title="Proof-of-payment" rel="wikipedia"&gt;proof of payment&lt;/a&gt; from one of the traffic exchanges.&lt;br /&gt;Just think about this, Join say 10-15 traffic exchanges. Earn say $10.00 from each, this is on the monthly basis following the simple steps, and do the math.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You spend hours on the computer anyway. Right? Why not earn a few bucks doing something productive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/Sh1vLISjnVI/AAAAAAAAAKI/xz64AqoG8cU/s320/taxis_account_pic.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340546970125835602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3pAq9Z67uPM/Sh1vLGnSGfI/AAAAAAAAAKA/0k7OeNmqHvo/s320/traffic_exchange_payments.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340546969675897330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three simple steps to Earning from the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" title="Internet" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) Join 3 or more of these manual Traffic Exchanges (More is better)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) Add the sites on each other as the sites to promote&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(3) &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surf_%28detergent%29" title="Surf (detergent)" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Surf&lt;/a&gt; everyday with any spare time you have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Watch the sign ups tick up and the money will soon Follow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your next step will be to head on over right now to &lt;a href="http://itsjustmoretraffic.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-i-did-here-was-create-simple-video.html"&gt; It's Just More Traffic Blog&lt;/a&gt; and sign up for as many Traffic Exchanges as you like and Surf on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @ErasmoVelez How to make Extra Cash with Traffic Exchanges Explained.%20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/1035bfb7-346d-4a31-8120-a5e93909b654/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=1035bfb7-346d-4a31-8120-a5e93909b654" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-8728934088363585648?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

More importantly, it promises higher CONVERSIONS--signups and sales.  So I decided to put it to the test...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_and_feel" title="Look and feel" rel="wikipedia"&gt;look and feel&lt;/a&gt;.  It is easy to read and understand.  Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://musicbrainz.org/artist/ecc75f81-6581-4ebb-8b09-fe46b5b31748.html" title="Members Area" rel="musicbrainz"&gt;Members Area&lt;/a&gt; is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up &amp;amp; running in less than 5 minutes.  Inside the site, you create links and &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising" title="Advertising" rel="wikipedia"&gt;ads&lt;/a&gt;--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_generator" title="Electrical generator" rel="wikipedia"&gt;generator&lt;/a&gt; and it transforms them into "Python" links.  You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Python Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.  You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.  And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference.  Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.  Very smart!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic.  Just use and promote the new Python link instead of the original source link you had.  Every time the Python link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner.  It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Python.  So if anyone clicks the Python image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral.  It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://itsjustmoretraffic.blogspot.com"&gt;Watch Video and Continue to read here...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @ErasmoVelez The highest converting traffic I've ever seen...%20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/ebb444b2-dd42-47c2-a076-f274d602b005/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=ebb444b2-dd42-47c2-a076-f274d602b005" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-3954318513793391369?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It depends on a number of different factors, and it’s a moving target. The right answer depends on your content, your readership, your design, your videos, seasonal considerations, and any number of other factors, including the ads themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change any one of these factors—your design, or the number of subscribers versus &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://google.com" title="Google" rel="homepage"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; hits, etc.—and the right formula can change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Watch This Quick &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression" title="Video compression" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Video&lt;/a&gt; on how to split your content.

If they want to read on, then they will go to your next &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog" title="Blog" rel="wikipedia"&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt;, almost like turning a page on a book.&lt;br /&gt;You want to create some comfort so that the reader is actually researching your information, which in turn build followers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always Tweak your blog and see where it needs improvement and how you can maximize from it, especially if you're an affiliate marketer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Have a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_blog" title="Spam blog" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Splog&lt;/a&gt;?

I briefly spoke about using a Squeeze Page on this post &lt;a href="http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-use-traffic-exchanges.html"&gt;How To Use Traffic Exchanges&lt;/a&gt;. If you just want to use a &lt;a href="http://sharkfrenzygraphics.com/?rid=252"&gt;Squeeze Page without video,&lt;/a&gt; go to that post now. I've been looking and testing out different &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software" title="Computer software" rel="wikipedia"&gt;software&lt;/a&gt;'s to increase my list and found out that a squeeze page and video is an excellent way to capture an audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most classic mistake people tend to make in &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing" title="Affiliate marketing" rel="wikipedia"&gt;affiliate marketing&lt;/a&gt; is not capturing the opt-in leads first before sending their visitors to the merchant's &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" title="Website" rel="wikipedia"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what smart marketers often do is that they would have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt into their list, before sending them to the website they are an affiliate for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is so the affiliate &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia"&gt;marketer&lt;/a&gt; can build his own opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few but exceptionally smarter marketers, on the other hand, take this to the next level. &lt;a href="http://videolistbuilding.blogspot.com/"&gt;Read More About this...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT%20@ErasmoVelez%20This%20Will%20Take%20Affiliate%20Marketing%20To%20The%20Next%20Level%21%20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/327c4cb5-cd2b-4d67-9558-e1bbde76cac1/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=327c4cb5-cd2b-4d67-9558-e1bbde76cac1" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-3549841159366173210?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I recommend that if you're trying to generate a consistent List then making your site look &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional" title="Professional" rel="wikipedia"&gt;professional&lt;/a&gt; is key to attracting those new clients. Make sure to grab yourself this copy.

Here are five ways to create backlinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a backlink?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backlinks are a link to your website from another website. The search engines love these. When they see the link on someone else's site it sends the spiders over to your site and they index your site getting it placed on a search engine organically instead of you going over and entering it. This way is preferred by the search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where to put backlinks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can put backlinks in any number of locations. You can use them in signatures in forums, emails, blogs, articles. I'm sure that get my drift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You find a blog or a video that is about a similar topic as what you will be linking to. You read the blog and then you make comment to the post. When you are finished with your post you also put a link to the site you want the search engines to go look at. (and the other people reading the blog for that matter). Careful when posting your links on &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network" title="Social network" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Social Networks&lt;/a&gt; or Videos Comments. Those days are gone. And I must admit that "I wouldn't want any links on my &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_web_page" title="Personal web page" rel="wikipedia"&gt;personal page&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do I make a backlink? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://recessionmarketingii.blogspot.com"&gt;Continue Here For Video Tutorial and More Strategies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @ErasmoVelez 5 Free Backlink Strategies and Tools That Can Help You Rank Your Website on the First Page of Google. %20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/d1bf1e4f-b2db-44ac-a771-bff3d9d0276a/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=d1bf1e4f-b2db-44ac-a771-bff3d9d0276a" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-1609118339942435741?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Generally a sign up form is offered with a free giveaway. Someone simply fills out the form with a name and &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address" title="E-mail address" rel="wikipedia"&gt;e-mail address&lt;/a&gt; to “opt in” to the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.getresponse.com/index/erasmovlz"&gt;Autoresponder&lt;/a&gt; and the free giveaway is provided to them. In return for that, they generally understand that they have granted permission for whoever made the offer to follow up with other e-mails with other offers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several years ago the singular e-mail opt-in was taken a step further when &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software" title="Computer software" rel="wikipedia"&gt;software&lt;/a&gt; was developed that asked the first recipient to forward the offer to 4-5 of there friends in order to qualify for the free giveaway, or perhaps even a very low priced offering. Hence, list building became viral, meaning that a single e-mail to a single individual could be multiplied in a near exponential manner as each level of opt-ins continued to forward the offer to even more people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we're on this subject lets talk about &lt;a href="http://videolistbuilding.blogspot.com"&gt;The Web 2.0 Read On&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @ErasmoVelez Builinding A List With Viral Videos.%20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/f04e4bb1-4de4-4640-9450-02d268606352/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=f04e4bb1-4de4-4640-9450-02d268606352" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-8470353232573394423?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

You must offer something that appeals to the advertisers in the traffic exchanges. So here is a simple solution. Create a subscription webpage offering a free course on how to produce better results from traffic exchanges a &lt;a href="http://www.splashpagemaker.com/?rid=1940" target="_blank"&gt;Splash Page&lt;/a&gt; will give you the best results. Then on your thank you page, where you thank them for signing up for your free course, you then present whatever product your  home-based business is selling. Or whatever you you are trying to market. It could be a subscription to your newsletter or a free &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book" title="E-book" rel="wikipedia"&gt;e-book&lt;/a&gt; with your links in it. Use your imagination, a thank you page is a great way to market your product. When you have your webpage setup, start to market your course on the traffic exchanges. As for the content for the free course, just relay the same information you learned from this blog &lt;a href="http://itsjustmoretraffic.blogspot.com"&gt;Continue to Read Here...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @ErasmoVelez How To Use Traffic Exchanges.%20%20http://todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com"&gt; &lt;img target="_blank" src="http://weguaranteeyouacheck.blinkweb.com/uploads.00054044/00067299.png" alt="Tweet Me from Recession Marketing w/ Erasmo Velez" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.location%20=%20'http://www.socialmarker.com/?link='+encodeURIComponent%20(location.href)+'&amp;amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(%20document.title);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/3a3e633f-93e4-4d7f-8a9c-793393bcb063/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=3a3e633f-93e4-4d7f-8a9c-793393bcb063" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8242345496134200053-4731526011292459326?l=todaysrecessionmarketing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
