Well already it’s spawned off something.. A guy by the name John Guanzon has been in almost daily chit chatting with us, and ended up creating an ebook with Winter Perkins about List Building with Traffic Exchanges.

In this ebook there are things explained like the sales funnel, the difference between splash pages and squeeze pages, auto responders, hosting, graphics, and even talks about ethical bribes.

The ebook is free to download. You can purchase the rebranding version if you want to replace referral links inside it with your own (great for building downlines while giving your list a free resource).

Of course you know I’ve got the rebranded version, and totally recommend you do too. It’s great to download these ebooks and keep them in a folder for you to give to your lists. You can give them out in return for people subscribing, and give them to current subscribers to continue helping them out ;-)

Tracking is crucial for getting results. You can think you are getting results at one exchange or another, but aren’t. And you could think that your hottest looking splash page is getting all the signups, but isn’t. So what happens when you delete that “poor” splash page that is actually your best performer? Hmmmm

This video was submitted by Earle. You can view his rotator here (atm it’s just advertising TEtoolbox). If you want to make a video showing what you are doing with TEtoolbox we are all for it! I know I love making videos but I really love getting member submitted videos more ;-)

Introducing a hidden gem on TEToolbox: Tracker Referral ID Randomization!

OK so I made the name up, can you tell? But here’s what you do:

1. Get the affiliate links for each partner.
2. Create a new Tracker in TEtoolbox
3. Replace the affiliate ID with all your IDs inside brackets []’s, separated by the pipe “|“:
   
4. Create the Tracker

You can then use the tracker like any other tracker. The only difference is the tracker will pick one of the IDs randomly. In the example I’ve got the TEtoolbox referral link, with our 3 IDs: xxclixxx, paulkinder, realincome.

Now 98% of you won’t need to use this, but it’s there for those that would want to. It makes it a breeze to do joint emails and everyone get’s their fair share.

Two things to note: You don’t have to use it just for affiliate IDs, technically speaking you could use it for anything. And it’ll only find and replace it once. Feel free to experiment, but don’t come crying if it doesn’t do something uber geeky..

Geeks: I could so see this being used for load balancing or split testing or for just plain fun:
http://www.timlinden.[com|net|org] anyone?

That being said – you can join us in a LIVE stream. It’ll get really cool at 3PM because it’ll be streaming the new user signups LIVE!!

Check out the Relaunch Party

If you are already a member you won’t see the new stuff till then. Again, you won’t be able to join till 3PM and you’ll need a JV’s referral link to get in!

Well what if you could have all your tracking links on your own domain? Then you don’t have to worry about people spamming their tracking links because you’ll have your own domain’s reputation.

Tomorrow I’m launching a tool that’ll let you do just that..  And for free!

You’ve probably seen me using links like trk.timlinden.com in my emails.. That’s why! And once you have it setup, it’s a breeeeeze to use. You’ll wonder why you’ve never had it before.

Oh, and the best part is this isn’t a script you have to install. So you’ll have world class performance on that tracking link. So even if you don’t have hosting, but you have a domain, you can use it ;-)

The problem is, tracking which exchange provides a signup doesn’t show you the full picture. If we know it takes 7 views of an ad to get a signup, then why should an exchange providing 1 of those views get all the credit?

Well I’ve been working on this for quite a while, and it’s being revealed on Tuesday. That’s right, I’ve created a branding tracker.

I’ve tracked the last 3019 subscribers to my blog and found it took 56,266 views on 44 different exchanges. On average each person subscribing was seeing my advertisements 18 times on 3 different traffic exchanges.

How’s that for stats!

I can also see which exchanges were providing the most branding power, and which ones got lucky taking the credit.

I can even see that an exchange ranked close to 50th at Traffic Exchange List is in my Top 5 for branding my blog. Without this I’d have never known!

So I’m really excited to be releasing it on Tuesday. It’s so powerful and so unique that it’ll knock your socks off!

What’s even better now is that using feedback from other owners it’s even awesomer. You see it now allows us all to collaborate banned lists!

Previously we’d post in a forum whenever we found bad sites, but that requires alot of logging in to check, and there’s always a delay. But now if an owner I trust bans a site, it’s auto banned on my exchange.

There’s a really cool video to show it all. If you are an owner, and want access you’ll need to send me a private message on NMF. I have a feeling I’m going to get a TON of requests so be patient if I don’t reply right away ;-)

With Google Chrome there is a “Incognito Mode” that starts a private session. It doesn’t remember your history, cookies, etc. What I’ve found it most useful for is logging in as different users!

Sometimes problems happen with accounts, and errors come up, and the only way to figure it out is to log in as that member. But then my sessions and cookies are stuck on that user, and I have to go back and login as me.

Well, not in Incognito Mode! It’s almost like having a new browser never used, you can login and it won’t try to enter your saved passwords – it even disabled LastPass (password tool for Chrome), and when you are done you close the window and it hasn’t effected your logins anywhere. Pretty sweet.

It can also be useful if you are trying to login to a site and it keeps saying invalid login. Rather than do all the clearing of cookies and such, you can open up Incognito Mode and try logging in. You’ll know right away if the pw is right or not.

So what’s there to do?

If you use Gmail, it’s easy.  Normally you would either use a separate gmail account altogether, or create labels. If that’s you, this’ll make it a breeze:

1. Select the label
2. In the Search Mail form, add the following: ” before:2009/11/01″ and hit search
3. Click Select: ALL, Then click the bigger link that appears “Select all conversations that match..”, Click Delete (and OK to confirm)

Ding! You’ve cleared them out! Just remember to change 2009/11/01 with the date from a week ago. I talked to one safelist owner and he said they expire after 7 days. Most likely they are all like that, but if not you can easily tune it.
