Seeking Clarity

A member emailed today, confused, and seeking clarity. The source of their confusion was outside of TrafficHoopla, and we understand, there is much begging for your everything, and it’s sometimes difficult to see through all the hype, hoopla, and anecdotes.

This week, we updated our front page look, which is and has always been our blog. I also added a short page about the meaning of our name.

[start - Hoopla is]

Hoopla is excitement, hype, publicity, action, activity, brouhaha, bustle, buzz, commotion, drama, elation, emotion.

The hoopla in our name, TrafficHoopla, is on purpose, branding first, and meaning we are here to help guide you past all the hype, hoopla, and other anecdotes common throughout the world of Internet marketing.

Advertising in general is hoopla, both online and offline.

Our beliefs, our methods, and what we do is consistent, conservative, educated, experienced, and professional.

We take nothing for face value, we test everything, and statistical data rules.

And although we have many respected friends in this business, we tend to avoid joint-ventures, and avoid participating in the so called “good Ole boys” network that tends to blur most Internet marketing.

[end - Hoopla is]

Here is part of my response to the member seeking clarity:

TrafficHoopla is rather simple. We are a web portal linking current top ranked advertising resources. Join each for free and use them daily to promote both your business and your TrafficHoopla. The reason for promoting your TrafficHoopla is to get signup’s because these resources will greatly reward you for referring others, mostly by a percentage of traffic earned by those you refer. Doing this over the long haul can help you achieve upwards of 10,000 or more daily hits. This traffic may be directed to any site and at any time.

The purpose of TrafficHoopla is to build long term daily web site traffic. Some will use TrafficHoopla to build traffic for an existing business and others come here with no existing business and build traffic first, which is most ideal.

My encouragement to those without a business, take your time, build traffic first, read & learn, discover your niche, and then build your business on it.

You don’t really pay for things with money.

You pay for them with time.

“In five years, I’ll have put enough away
to buy that vacation house we want.

Then I’ll slow down.”

That means the house will cost you five years —
one-twelfth of your adult life.

Translate the dollar value of the house,
car, or anything else into time,
and then see if it’s still worth it. …

The phrase spending your time is not a metaphor.

It’s how life works.

BASEBALL DIARY

Years ago a young baseball player’s long-ball hitting got the
attention of a pro scout, and the boy was offered a contract.  When
he went off to spring training, he performed well.  And each week
he wired his mother back at home to inform her of his progress.

Week One:  “Dear Mom, leading all batters.  These pitchers aren’t
so tough.”

Week Two:  “Dear Mom, looks like I will be starting in infield.
Now hitting .500.”

Week Three:  “Dear Mom, today they started throwing curves.  Will
be home Friday.”

To your success,

The Hit Exchange Report Celebrates 6 Years!

Today marks 6 years for the Hit Exchange Report. It’s first issue was November 11, 2002. A most notable fact, David Fotheringham, it’s author, has faithfully and consistently produced the weekly report every week, without missing a single issue, without being late for a single issue, all 6 years.

I personally want to take this moment to congratulate David, thank David for his excellent work, and thank David for being a great partner and friend.

As most of you know, I (Bill Carr) created TrafficHoopla in early 2003, immediately partnered with David in the form of working together and exchanging services, TrafficHoopla has used the Hit Exchange as a guide for inclusion since day one, and this foundation is the #1 reason for our continual success.

A special feature in today’s Hit Exchange Report, Top 5 rankings for the last six years.

Who was the #1 hit exchange back on November 11, 2002? TrafficRoundup

An interesting observation in looking at the Top 5 rankings for the last six years, ILoveHits, one of the oldest exchanges still around today, was not a consistent Top 5 exchange any year until this year, 2008.

If you are not a subscriber to the weekly Hit Exchange Report, your best option is Hoopla! Pro membership.

A Hoopla! Pro upgrade is very inexpensive, less than 10, includes both the Hit Exchange and Safelist Reports, 50% commissions, random signup’s, and much more. To upgrade, to get the Hit Exchange Report, login to your TrafficHoopla account and click upgrade (center of welcome page).

5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW

1. My favorite time of the day is the early morning. I’m up at 4 AM every morning.

2. I’m a big family guy, married 20-years, 5 kids, we all love road trips.

3. Baseball is my favorite sport, I volunteer, I coach, my boys play select, average 100 games a year.

4. My favorite pair of shoes, second to my baseball shoes, my cowboy boots. Yes, I’m a Texan.

5. I despise automobile traffic, long waits at restaurants, and weak coffee.

Again, congratulations David, excellent job!

Have a great day,

Bill Carr (creator,owner,support)

Best Hit Exchange Most People Viewing My Sites?

The amount of members a hit exchange indicates it has can be misleading. Similar, new daily or weekly signup’s can also be misleading as it is well known that a larger percentage will do nothing at all. What you need to know is how many real people are active, looking at your sites. We’ve all read the latest news, exchanges achieving the 30,000 or 50,000 or even the 100,000 member mark, congratulations, but this can be misleading, and this means little to those of us in this professional advertising business.

100% Independent Statistical Testing/Rankings Since 2002

Since November of 2002, we have produced what has become the most popular and the most respected testing report on manual hit exchanges. It’s called the Hit Exchange Report, updated every Tuesday.

One of it’s most popular features is the Overall Top 20. It’s a ranking of overall performance for the most recent 30-day testing period. Data collected (app. 1 million hits for each report) is used to determine a composite score that then determines the Top 20 each week.

Delivery + Unique + Sitting Balance + Bounce Rate + New Visitors + Actual Results = Overall Ranking.

However, the Overall Top 20 is only a small part of our testing and rankings.

Each report, included with Hoopla! Pro membership, includes multiple web pages full of various rankings, stats, raw data, and other useful information. It is designed to be used weekly to plan and adjust all of your hit exchange advertising. Those using it on consistent basis are dramatically improving their traffic and results.

2 examples of rankings and useful info that this kind of testing produces:
