Post your links free to 12 billion FFA sites and ad boards:

Blastomatic Sign up form

Blastomatic Sign in link

This is a highly effective and well-entrenced service that has been around since 1998. It grew to over 12 billion post/links sometime in 2005. Easy to set up and use. No tricks here. It is free and very useful. It posts to many venues, networks and types of sites. So you have a combination FFA, classified ad and permanent link submitter. Use once daily for maximum results.

As mentioned in other articles, what you are going for using this tool is Search Engine activity and ranking. Don't expect that because your link goes on 12 billion sites that 12 + billion people are reading your ad. What is happening is 12 billion links are being set in place for your site. Keep them their with daily posting. Join Blastomatic Sign up form using a marketing email. Note that you cannot change your email once you join as a free member. Also, your posts go to the default which is mostly business. (Misc. on some boards.)

Once you join and verify your account, you can sign in at Blastomatic Sign in link. Login and review the site, note the drop down menu contains the links you need to navigate to set your ad up, validate and submit. Set up your ad, link, keywords. Validate your email BEFORE attempting to send your ad. Once validated you can do your blast. When you go to that screen you will see the icon for validation. The main service which validates your email is "Validator" validator@validatedemail.com.

Once you request validation you will receive an email to process your request, sometimes you end up with 2 emails. Note this service have an annoying pop in and unders which tend to defeat your blockers. The first time you request validation you ususally also receive a couple other validation/verification emails. The other validation requests will come from auth@ffanet.com, sometimes from DTL, and occasionally from Monster. Post your link one time in a 24 hour period. If you try to submit the same link from the same email address more than once in a 24 hour time period the ad will be rejected and you risk being banned for spamming.

Once you post you will receive several key verification links. One of them will be for TrafficWave. You only need to validate the main program once. The parent link will come with a validation code similar to this one 291031018050 and a link in which to confirm like this: http://ffa.trafficwave.net/cgi-bin/ffaADconfirm.pl?adcode=291031018050. Once you have verified the one link, this is all that is required for you listing to post throughout the Network. Then, you will receive emails from individual board owners/pro members asking you to confirm or validate or verify. You do not. Those are their email ads to you and some have chosen to use those subject lines to force you to open their email ads.

When posting your links free to the boards remember you do get email. The links do roll off within a day (sometimes quicker) so you want to use your blaster daily to keep your links on the boards at all times. There are sites which offer permenant links and that will be a subject for another topic. Once you have done the Mass Submit using Blast1, there is another feature called Blast2. This is primarily the area where you can confirm your link has posted.

Driving traffic to your site, part 1

Once you are indexed in the Search Engines, you want to start what is called driving traffic to your site. There are many ways to do this. This article discusses using Traffic Exchanges to drive traffic, or hits, to your site.

Exchanges are that: you surf and view other member sites in EXCHANGE for the members viewing yours.

There are two basic types of exchanges - manual and auto surf.

Manual surf requires that you 'click' on something to rotate to the next site. Auto surf does this for you. Auto surf sites are actually more efficient for producing the 'hits' for you. Everytime your site rotates on the surf it creates a hit which the Search Engines record. This counts as activity and helps with your site's popularity. So, it is prudent to join and include auto surf sites in your marketing portfolio.

Another aspect is that your sites are seen by the members. As they rotate, members see your page thus increasing the chance of someone then clicking on your site. When they do this, that creates another hit. The advantage exchanges have over email marketing and Ffa posts is that you are not depending on a person to open their email to get to your link or site. In this respect manual surf sites are more efficient for getting your sites seen.

When it comes to listing your site/s at exchanges, don't be worried if a site already seems to have many other affiliate links. In marketing repitition is the key. You know how you see the same ads on television and hear them over and over again on the radio? There are good, solid reasons behind that strategy. Studies show people tend to have to see/hear/read about something many times before acting. You never know when that specific member might finally 'act' and join Cashflowpc or purchase the VoIP, another Cashflowpc product, or a VIP Travel Rewards package. Most importantly, it may be YOUR site the member finally decides to act on.

You want to join as many auto surf sites as you can manage in a week/month. While it is tempting to simply join sites and then walk away from them, it is not healthly for either you or the exchanges. No one expects you to marathon surf. However, SOME surfing is needed and required and each site will stipulate how often you need to surf. On the free sites this can range from 3 to 30 days. Also note that your sites being rotated (and thus hits being generated) is soley dependant upon the surfing habits of the exchange members. Don't beat up Admin in this regards. If you feel your sites don't get enough hits, examine your own surfing habits and then those of the members.

If you (or the other members) do not surf, no hits are generated.

Another thing to consider is whether the site you want to add is "surf friendly." A surf friendly site is one without anything which disrupts the surf (stops it), or the members' computer. Most exchanges do not allow pop ups, exit pages, frame breakers and rotators. (Not to mention forced-download dialog boxes and sites carrying viruses and trojans.) Fortunately, all the Cashflowpc sites (including VIP Travel Rewards) are completely surf-friendly. Simply be advised that you may have OTHER sites which are not. Should you have a site stopped or not allowed by Admin - this is not personal nor a reflection upon you. Some sites are simply not surf friendly. If you have some of these - oh well - don't add them to surf sites.

The best thing you can do is set up a schedule for managing all your marketing activities, including the surf aspect.

Bottom line:
1. Once you have your site/s in the Search Engines drive traffic to them.

2. Join traffic exchanges (especially auto surf sites) and then surf to help do this.

Program to Help Build Any Program

I just joined this program.  It can be it's own business but they
stress that it can be used to promote and build other businesses.  I
just went through the tools section. You can set it up so that after
they go to your lead page for probuilderplus and input their personal info, you
can than decide where they go next...i.e. cfpc voucher page, vip
travel page, etc.

I thought you might want to have a look incase you are interested.
there is a $29.95 a month fee for it.  It's a linear program where
they put pre-enrollee's under you.  I plan on using xtream venues to
promote this and than use this to promote cfpc and vip travels.  I'm
thinking this is just another angle.  Here is my l ink:

Using Traffic Exchanges Effectively:

This is a reprint of an excellent article and advise on managing your surf by the owner of Smiley Traffic Exchange from this site http://www.smileytraffic.com/usingtex.htm:

Using Traffic Exchanges Effectively:

I get many requests from members asking how I use traffic exchanges, or how they can be more effective, in using them.This isn't rocket science, just takes some thinking, planning and common sense!The Whole purpose of using traffic exchanges is to get your pages/ads out there everywhere and in the most places, with the least amount of hourly work.

This isn't written as an exchange owner, but as a surfer from 8 years experience. Too many exchange owner's have been telling surfers the wrong way to EFFECTIVELY use exchanges for years cause they are after the mighty dollar.

Example:To properly surf, use No More than 4 exchanges at a time. Truth:This
limits the amount of credits you build up and forces you to purchase credits. Plus forces you to sit and wait on timer if you've already seen all 4 pages, sitting and waiting does you no good and is costing you valuable time and money.

Example:
Assign ALL Your credits or your pages won't be seen.
Truth:To Effectively assign credits, do so at various times of the day unless you have credits backed up. People are up at different hours throughout the world. While you are awake, your next signup could be sleeping!70% will sign up when they see your page the 1st time, 30% will wait until they see the page a dozen times, hense that phrase, Get in Early and Build your downlines!

Things you need:
1.) a Tabbed Browser
2.) a Plan/Schedule
3.) a small amount of money, not hundreds or thousands!

I use CrazyBrowser because it uses less computer resources than Firefox In using Tabbed browsers, I open 11 tabs, this way if I've seen the page or already a member or Not interested, another window is waiting for me to click, I NEVER wait on timers. I do 11 Tabs Maximum because 12 will kick me into 3 rows of tabs and is too confusing.

This gives me EXTREME coverage. I don't view pages any slower or faster than using 4 tabs, but I'm not waiting on timers to go down to 0 and am not wasting my time opening and closing folders with 4 tabs.Time not continually clicking is wasted clicking. With 11 exchanges and some being 1:1 surf ratio, many with bonus credits, you can easily get 350 page views per hour spread across 11 exchanges.

I have 5 folders set up that automatically open exchanges:
Must Surf - is my main 11 exchanges that I surf daily, contains several I am upgraded in.

Must Surf2 - 2nd surfing folder has a few from Must surf folder as fillers to make 1115 days - exchanges I surf at least the 15th and 30th of every month30 days - surf these at least once a month, these deliver views pretty slowly.

No Login - this is good for when I only have 10 minutes to surf, has TrafficG, FastFreeway, Webbizinsider, etc.

My surfing schedule isn't that hard to follow, I surf 50 per site, in folder twice a day, some days I'll surf 150-200 per site. Some days 0, but I do get a Bare minimum of 20 hours of surfing in each week! This is only on average, a little over 2 hours a day.

This will easily get you 8,000 views per week. I can surf a good 50 per site across 11 exchange in an hour.

I Upgrade in only those exchanges that move credits and offer nice bonuses for upgrading.I Will Not upgrade in any exchange that does not offer Free referrals.

Remember to Only assign the bare minimum to your sites, which is usually 75% for free members.Use the rest for Banners and Text links, this is an area that most don't feel is effective but does work!Also with saving credits back, if you just joined a NEW site that you want rotating ASAP, you have the credits to get it out there fast.

I Love exchanges that advertise their Banners on Main/Referral pages at the Top. This is some of the most Elite advertising there is because your banner is shown all over the internet and in every exchange and place, even those places you do not use or haven't heard of. Someone purchases PTC's at a Paid To Read...they are advertising your banner too. I belong to around 50 manual exchanges and you should too.

Don't just stick with the TOP rated ones, join many to get coverage of NEW people. The larger memberbased ones as a Rule, should be surfed more, but I have found newer ones also get referrals too.
