Carnival Clicks September 11, 2008
Posted by The Secret Surfer in : Reviews , add a commentCarnival Clicks is the #2 exchange from William Brant. While I’m an avid supporter of William’s Max Traffic Pro, Carnival Clicks leaves me scratching my head.
Now for starters, I should point out that the flow of traffic at CC is quite good. Never had a problem with my credits backing up here, usually had them delivered faster than I could assign them really. However, I get the feeling there’s a handful of power surfers hanging out in here, and an even stronger feeling that no one is paying attention to my ads.
Now of course, this is just my own experience, and every ad campaign is different. You may track your ads here and get considerably better results. Maybe surfer’s here just don’t like the look of my necktie? Hmmm… I’ll get back to you on that one.
My stats aside, There are some features at Carnival Clicks that I really like, for example the banner and text exchange. Place a piece of code on your website, and earn banner or text credits for each member ad displayed on your site. A great form of viral advertising and it means exposure outside of the TE itself as well. That’s something I always love to see.
So sure, there is some potential here, and I honestly couldn’t tell you why my results here have been so poor. Unfortunately, those poor results have led me to a low mark for Carnival Clicks.

Max Traffic Pro September 2, 2008
Posted by The Secret Surfer in : Reviews , add a commentI’ve always liked the way Max Traffic Pro does things. At a glance, it seems to be no different than your average exchange, and in some ways it isn’t. You have your 10 second timer, 3:1 Ratio for free members, URL rotator and so on. But a closer look reveals a few unique aspects that really make MTP shine.
The first is the method in which Max Traffic Pro delivers hits. If a member sees your site, they won’t see it again until they’ve surfed 50 other sites. This makes for a nice balance of unique hits vs repeat exposure. This makes it much easier to reach all of MTP’s active members, rather than burning all your credits on the same handful of people.
Another feature you don’t see everyday is Max Traffic Pro’s banner and text link exchange. Member’s can add a snippet of code to their websites which will display random banners or text links from MTP members. Each display earns users their own impressions on sites that have the code in place. Makes for some nice bonus exposure outside of the exchange itself and I love the potential there.
At the end of the day, Max Traffic Pro is an above average exchange with a unique spin on traffic delivery. I’ve got a good feeling I’ll be surfing this one for quite some time.
