This married life is really hectic, but the plan for this year is to send you more content and quality offers rather than just hitting you all the time with offers for “shiney new things” where my commission is more important than if the product is any good.
BTW if you want more info on the reasons behind this paradigm shift then perhaps you should read Yaro Starak’s blog post (link opens in a new window)
I have made a video walk through of surfing ThumbVu, but thought I’d also give you the 5 reasons in writing in case I didn’t cover them in the video.
- It’s all about the branding, not only do you get your pages seen, but you can really build up your social media profiles at the same time.
- Watch out for the thumbnails with the border, these people are paying to get their pages seen, so start following them and do some proper networking.
- If you have a smart phone you can be generating traffic to your site without being at your computer. Great if you have to spend time waiting about for the kids!
- List building, having your opt-in form on the surfbar is brilliant, but I don’t think this option is available for free members.
- Last but probably most importantly – Results! I’ve been looking at my TEtoolbox stats, and not only is ThumbVu delivering the traffic, it’s currently got the highest conversions, so please think long and hard about the upgrade – I took the 2nd option of $17 per month.
Hope this honest review will make you see the value in traffic exchange advertising.
Happy surfing
Andrew

Thanks for sharing Thumbvu, I will use it to build up my social media profiles and list building but I believe that it is a great branding tool.

Good review on ThumbVu. John did a really cool job on this one and the social networking part has lead me to many new connections via facebook and twitter so far.
