The advantage of gaining critical mass in a marketing strategy can never be over- emphasised….and “Manual Traffic Exchanges” can be the critical element to keep the wheel of your marketing strategy rolling.

It is happening with monotonous regularity that every newbie internet marketer wants results from “Day 1″ and every pro marketer will vouch for the fact that they have undergone significant stresses and strains to reach where they have reached.

This prelude gives us an inkling of the position of manual traffic exchange users. A beginning is made with full gusto….and it is not long before the levels of motivation and enthusiasm come crashing down.

Here are some tips and tricks which will go a long way in making optimim utilisation of “Manual Traffic Exchanges” and bridging the gap between thory and practice.

1) Surf, surf and surf for at least a couple of months. Do not expect any results…because you seldom get them within two months.Patience is a virtue which is seldom practiced.

2) Do not make the mistake of including the URL of your internet opportunity on each and every manual traffic exchange you are participating….instead…use some of your traffic exchange affiliate links to derive the benefits of residual traffic in the long run.

3) Refer, refer and refer by cross promoting your affiliate link in Traffic Exchange A with Traffic Exchange B and so on.

4)Use “Splash pages” for promoting in “Manual Traffic exchanges”

5) Do not….please…do not use pop-ups and other distracting stuff to de-motivate your prospective downline in those precious 15-30 seconds he or she has a glimpse at your website. It’s all to well to have them on the homepage of your website…but never put a pop-up on your splash pages…for all you know, the traffic exchange might reject your pop up splash page in the first place.

6) Use the magic of compounding which results in the power of residual traffic by building a good downline base.

7) Pick and choose your traffic exchanges and keep a note of the benefits offered. For example :
a) Referral structure for earning downline credits
b) Credits Ratio for own surfing
c) Free credits and bonus for being an active member
d)Ongoing contests
e) Read between the lines….
A traffic exchange may give free bonus credits for reading emails sent to members or a traffic exchange may give bonus credits for surfing 25 websites daily. Just imagine the misfortune you are going through if you surf between 20-24 websites on that exchange everybody. Further, it is always better to actively refer members in those traffic exchanges offering at least 20% credits in two to three levels.

8)Use the option to transfer credits to potential downline members if they join under you. Many traffic exchanges offer this option either through the traffic exchange or from the member’s area.

9)Get into swap deals with other traffic exchange members. Statistics tell us that a majority of traffic exchange members join traffic exchanges directly from the homepage.
Do not commit the same mistake. Let’s assume you are a member of Traffic Exchange A and you want to join Traffic Exchange B. It would benefit you greatly if you can post an offer in a forum you participate in that you are willing to join Traffic Exchange B under anyone who is willing to join under you in Traffic Exchange A. This is a win-win situation for both… you and the person you are doing the swap deal with.

10) Do use an affiliate link cloaker to get better response rates whenever you promote affiliate links. Use “Manual Traffic Exchanges” as a critical cog in the wheel of your marketing strategy. Do not commit the mistake of assuming that it is the wheel itself. Integrate other promotion methods like forums, safelists, blogs, rss feeds, search engine optimisation techniques,
ezine advertisements, joint venturing with other webmasters, etc. The possibilities are endless. Use “your brain” …and….”your common-sense” to catapult yourself to the top of the ladder of success.

To your success !!!

What kind of complex life is under the Martian surface and perhaps living in the ground water or ice? Are their remnants of life, which adapted to the changes and went underground? What types of life can we expect? Most scientists are talking about microbes right now, the tiniest forms of life. But why would there only be microbes on a planet, which has most all the essentials for life that we know about here on Earth. This is not to say that we should base our theories of life on Mars by what is here on Earth, but we should be thinking here because all the elements which make up everything here are also there and we know there has been exchanges of material throughout our solar system thru meteorite samples.

We know thru fossil records on Earth that some of our earliest life contained hard shell species, which were able to live in an early Earth atmosphere void of large amounts of oxygen, but had other gases such as CO2. A complex life form on Mars would need to live underground and perhaps be hard shelled, to us this life form would most likely look like what we on Earth would call an insect and have a similar body design and structure.

The complex life form of this type would also need to go thru long periods of hibernation and conserve energy, but would be able to spring to life when conditions arose which were favorable. Those conditions could include chemical reactions with in the organism which were triggered for a defense mechanism to protect itself, electromagnetic energy from dust devils, rain, solar flares or even perhaps volcanic Mars interior eruptions causing steam from underground ice melt.

For one to say there is no life on Mars simply by driving a Rover Around a specific area is simply silly and religious based single god wishful thinking and thus is a far cry from the unlimited possibilities which exist. Indeed, this is only one possible life form on Mars, which fits our understanding of how life on Earth evolves.

The fact is we do not know what type of life exists there, but since the possibilities are endless. We have many species, microbes, viruses, diseases, pathogens, which live here on Earth in very hostile environments for what we consider human life conditions. So we know those probably exist on Mars. But indeed, although many wish to think in terms of the egocentric special human race, we need to do a reality check, because we will find complex life on Mars, we just do not know what it will be yet. Think on this.
