Hitpirate News BlogJust another WordPress weblog

Hello all,

We now have 7873 members, that means that 60 new members were referred since our mailing last week. Keep up the great work folks.  We will be hitting the 8000 member mark in no time.  To make it more exciting. Whoever refers member 8000 I will be adding 8000 credits, 8000 banner impressions and 8000 text link impressions to their account.

I have officially pulled the 100 credit per referral offer. I hope you all enjoyed it and earned some free traffic :)  I did make a change to the earnings from your referrals surfing efforts.  You will now receive 10% of the credits that your 1st level referrals gain from surfing.  This will help with residual traffic.  In other words, if a person you’ve referred surfs 100 sites, you will earn 10 credits.  Another great reason to continue to refer people to our system.

I have also added a new login page to the system for those that haven’t noticed. I will be treating this as an offer of the week page.  Each week I will provide you with a discounted offer on either credits, upgraded memberships and sometimes some products that I have found to be of use.  So, make sure you log in every week to see what we’re offering

I have also done a major overhaul of the pricing of our advertising. I have slashed all of our prices and made a few tweaks to the upgrade packages.  There has never been a better time to pick up some advertising on our site.  Our prices are at an all time low!

I am also increasing the maximum surf cap to 1000 pages so you can surf longer

I would like to thank all of you for making Hitpirate the success that it is.  I could have never done it without you!!

Until next time, good luck and happy surfing!

Hello all,

First off our member count is up to 7813  That’s 56 new members in the last week so we are still growing at a steady pace.  We are currently averaging 94 page views per URL which is also a very good rate!  Thank you all for your activity and hard work in helping us grow and improve.

Have you seen all the exchanges switching over to the dynamic surf ratios?  I have to laugh as I had a programmer create this mod quite a while back and he’s now selling it to anyone.  So yes, HP is one of the first exchanges with the dynamic surf ratio.  While the others figure out how to optimize it, we’ve been there and done that.

I am still giving away 100 credits per verified referral you bring in.  This will stay up until July 9th, on that day I will take it down and change over to where you earn 10% of the credits your 1st level referrals surf for.  So, if they surf for 100 credits, you will receive 10 credits from their surfing efforts.

I will be sending out another update next week to remind you of this.  Until then, Good Luck and Happy Surfing!

Things are clicking right along at Hitpirate.  Membership is continuing to grow steadily and activity is continuing to rise as well.  I am back into sending a weekly newsletter now that Little League is almost over and will be doing some heavy promoting of HP over the next couple of months.

In my newsletters I am going to be including some short tutorial articles that will hopefully benefit your efforts in traffic exchanges.  Here is this weeks article. I hope you enjoy it.

This week I would like to talk about branding yourself.  A good friend of mine Jon Olson has been preaching this for several years now. Every day I log into the admin area and approve websites that are submitted to our exchange.  Lately I have been noticing that alot of the new members are still promoting affiliate pages.  There are several problems with doing this “No tracking of results” “No originality” “No Shock and Awe” “Page has been seen 1,000,000 times before” “At best a 1 time sale”  all of which will lead to minimal results and success online.  I for one would like to see you all thrive online and in traffic exchanges.  But in order to do this, you must go about it the right way.

You have to brand yourself first.  Build a great splash/lead capture page and put your picture and name on there.  Build the personal recognition, it is a great way to build trust with your potential customers. If you can’t build one, have one built for you.  There are several designers out there that can create affordable pages for you.  There are also services out there that you can use to build your pages Instant Squeeze Page Generator is a great service that is free and will allow you to build your pages and host them if you don’t have a site.  It takes little to no HTML knowledge to build the pages and they even provide you with products to give away to help build your list.

Once you have built your page branding yourself, put out a weekly newsletter on something you are knowledgeable about or have passion for and make it a sales letter for your affiliate program.  You will have much better results if you approach things this way than if you go for front end sales.  Plus, if you have them on your list, you can go for sales time and time again instead of just once

Hey all,
Been a while since my last update.  I try to keep it only to when there is a real quality update and or a service that I feel will be of real value to you.  I’m going to start posting to our news/update blog more often though.  I want to make sure that you are getting the most out of you’re experience at Hitpirate.

First off, let’s talk about the the surf ratio at Hitpirate.  For our free members, every 30 pages surfed you get a 5% increase in you’re surf ratio.  If you surf 500 pages in a day. You will be receiving a base of .8 credits per page surfed.  Now, let’s factor in some of our other bonus features.  For the surf verification page which comes up about every 40 pages you receive 5 credits for answering correctly.  We also have a credit link that shows up in the surf bar about every 40 pages as well that will give you another 3 credits.  Then there is the letterhunt feature that will also give you some bonus credits upon completing a word.  Then finally, there is the prize page that shows up randomly. We have many different prizes that you can win with it. Up to 100 credits.  When you factor all these in. You are receiving one of the best surf ratios of any quality exchange.   So make sure that you are staying active with your surfing at Hitpirate.

New program alert:

My friends Dan Smith and Kyle Hoskins have created a very cool new program called Banner Keyring .  They have found a way to make managing your banners in traffic exchanges as easy as possible. With their new program,Banner Keyring, you can put all of your banners on a single rotator — that’s right, a rotator for banner ads! — and get a single image URL and link URL to use in all of your banner advertising campaigns. No more logging in to ten traffic exchanges every time you need to change a banner — just log in at Banner Keyring, change it once, and the new banner starts rotating at every traffic exchange you use!

Check it out: http://www.bannerkeyring.com/?rid=10

There’s more. Dan and Kyle weren’t satisfied with making banner advertising easy for you — they
wanted to make it completely effortless. So they included an advertising co-op in Banner Keyring.
You can purchase a co-op spot, and Dan and Kyle will get your banners rotating in all of the top
traffic exchanges without you ever having to log in to a single one!

Banner Keyring is totally free, so you have no excuse not to go check it out right now. Just go sign up now, and you can be managing all of your banner advertising in one place within minutes!

Since Banner Keyring is brand new, there are all sorts of ridiculous deals and great special offers
available inside the members’ area — but you need to go sign up now, before they’re gone!

Just go to: http://www.bannerkeyring.com/?rid=10

I must be out of my mind If quality traffic, splash points, dynamic surfing ratio, treasure surf hours and other bonus credits weren’t enough of a reason for you to surf Hitpirate regularly. Then maybe this will I have added a new mod to the exchange where randomly between 50 and 80 pages surfed by all members a prize page will be shown in the window. The page will look like this Treasure Page If you find this page, click on the link and claim your part of my Treasure Chest.

I have set up several different prizes totaling 1250 credits, 8500 banner impressions and 8500 text link impressions. So, make sure you are paying attention while surfing!! If you are just clicking away, you could miss it. As well as some of the other giveaways that are in the surfbar such as splash points and credit links.

I am very excited about this new feature. It is all done randomly so there are no guarantees of when you will win. You could log in and surf 1 page and be a winner or surf for 100 and win nothing. I just did But the good news is that with all the other bonuses and our dynamic ratio (for free members) it is still worth surfing

After I evaluate the prize mod I will be adding the dynamic ratio in for upgraded members. This will make for even better value for your upgrade

Also, tomorrow I will be adding a new splash page to promote HP as well as a couple new banners. These were done by Sean Lowery. The man who did the new design for Hitpirate. How do you like the new design by the way?

Well, that’s all I have for you for now. Make sure to leave me some feedback on the new treasure mod and also on the design if you’d like.

Thank you all for being valued members of Hitpirate.biz

Hello all,

I know, I know, it’s been quite a while since my last update. Trust me, I am working very hard in the background to continue to improve Hitpirate for you.

Some of you may have noticed that we have a new site design I hired Sean Lowery of Traffic Exchange Design to create a new look for me. He did an absolutely amazing job I think. I strongly recommend him to any TE owner.

I made a change to the surfbar as well at HP. It now displays the pages you’ve viewed in a day. Then it also displays the credits you’ve earned in a day also. Nothing major, but I think it is more relevant than seeing the percent of credits you have auto assigned

Activity is at an all time high and we should be reaching our 7000th member tomorrow. Let’s all keep pushing as I expect we will reach the 10000 member mark by the end of the year at the rate we are growing.

Thank you all for your efforts in helping us continue to stay active and grow!! I will get back to you soon with some more updates. In the mean time, make sure you log in and surf

Hello all,

Well, the gang at affiliate funnel has finally done it. After many hours of programming, planning and networking with TE owners they have come up with a unique ranking system. It is basically a peoples choice ranking of manual surf traffic exchanges. No alexa ranking, no unique hit percentage, nothing. Strictly the voice of the surfers. I am hoping that you will all give Hitpirate a vote as one of your favorite TE’s. You will see this symbol show up on alot of the exchanges out there.

If you are not a member of affiliate funnel, please click on the seal either above or on the Hitpirate site and join up. Then make sure to give us a good ranking Did I mention that I like 9 and 10

You will definitely not be disappointed when you join Affiliate Funnel. They have put together one of the most amazing One Time Offers I have ever seen. You get a free month upgrade in 20 of the top traffic exchanges online today.  Then when that month is up, you get to keep the upgrade at a discounted offer in most of them.  I know I’m giving a 30% discount on the regular Captain upgrade in this offer.

Aside from the OTO that they’ve put together, there is some amazing training material and features in the site too. You can not only build a downline, but you can also build a list and promote up to 6 of your own programs if you’d like.  The site Jon Olson and Paul Kinder have put together is truly a must have resource.

So go ahead and click the seal and join up then give us a good ranking If you’re already a member of affiliate funnel then just login and check out the OTO and give us a good ranking while you’re there

In the spirit of great offers, I’m turning on the triple bonus feature at HP.  All surf verification credits and bonus link credits will be given away at triple the normal amount until Monday morning when I wake up

Hello,

Man, you folks are simply amazing!!! Hitpirate was in the top 20 at Test Hoopla again this week. So, I will say it once again. You folks are amazing. Hitpirate could never have reached the level of success it has without you.

We have seen a small surge of new members over the last couple of weeks. Partly due to the Hoopla ranking and I’ve also been doing some heavier advertising. This will benefit all users, but upgraded members the most. Random referrals are assigned to upgraded members accounts. Traffic flow has been amazing over the last couple of weeks too.

I have changed the Treasure surf image so that the bonus credits link is more viewable in the surfbar. I would like to add a couple of testimonials to the index page so if you would like to submit a testimonial for Hitpirate. Please email it to me at admin@hitpirate.biz with your link you would like added to it and a photo of yourself if you have one.

Have you joined our sister site yet? Genie Traffic is picking up some steam. I did a very soft launch with this program. We have someone who lacks originality that has started up a Genie-Traffic now too. So, if you aren’t a member yet, please take a couple minutes and join up to help the cause. It would be greatly appreciated You can check it out here: Genie Traffic

Keep in mind, Hitpirate has a variable surf ratio, this turns off when the Treasure Surf feature is running.  But when treasure surf is off, free members start off at .33 credits per page view and it increases about every 30 pages. Best part is, surf the maximum 400 sites and you will start off the next day with an increased ratio also

Keep your eyes peeled for our mailings. You will not only receive notifications of when the Treasure Surf sessions are. In February I will also be running some triple bonus days where the surf verification and surfbar prizes will be tripled.

Hello all,

First I would like to thank you all for your efforts and activity over the last month. Hitpirate is gaining steam once again and we made it to #18 in the Traffic Hoopla Rankings.

Let’s all stay active and see how far up that ladder we can climb.

I will be turning on the Treasure Surf at some point today so surfing ratios for Land Lubbers will be doubled.

I will be sending you an email tomorrow around 3PM Pacific as there is a new program being launched by the Logiscape group. They are great at coming up with new ideas that revolutionize TE’s so I want to make sure that you don’t miss this launch.

Speaking of revolutionizing TE’s. A long time surfer Darrell Dean has come up with an amazing site to help you become more successfull using TE’s. He has created a calculator that will actually help you optimize your surfing efforts. It is one of the coolest tools I have seen for creating a strategy in TE’s.

Imagine using an easy-to-use online system to answer questions like:

1) how many credits will I earn for each of my three splash pages if I surf 20 minutes today on these five traffic exchanges? What if I surf 45 minutes using seven exchanges? Or…

2) what should my daily surfing schedule be? Or…

3) what should my weekly surfing schedule be?

Yes, the Surfing Calculator can answer all of those questions! No more guessing and no more wasted time!

The Surfing Calculator helps you figure out your best Surfing Plan. Automatically! It’s easy to use. And there’s no software to download - just visit a special, members-only web page, fill in a few boxes with your information and - out pops your solution!

But wait - there much, much more!

You see, Darrell has created a reference center containing valuable resource material to help you get the most out of your surfing efforts. You can get information on:

- Splash pages
- Co-Ops
- Traffic exchange listings
- Tracking services
- Rotators
- …and much, much more!

If you’re serious about your traffic exchange results, go check out this new site right now. Don’t let another minute go by surfing without the right resources and a surfing plan.
