Getting the Most from TrafficSwarm

TrafficSwarm also provides an increased “Credit Value” because the response is one of the best in the industry. A higher response rate means your individual credits are worth more than your credits on other exchanges.

The cost of purchasing credits on TrafficSwarm is also higher compared to the cost of credits on other exchanges. They charge much more for their purchased credits because they are worth more.

To test this for yourself, just surf TrafficSwarm consistently for at least two weeks and see what happens with your sign ups and sales.

Recall that your “Credit Rate” is how fast you earn credits. In most traffic exchanges you will click two or three sites in order to earn one credit as a free member. But in TrafficSwarm they are more generous. For each click you can earn between 1 and 5 credits!

The reason for this has to do with traffic delivery. Details of their traffic delivery formula is complicated and hard to explain.

NOTE: When engineer says “it’s hard to explain” this usually means the engineer does not understand it. In this case… it’s true. I do not fully understand it.

But here is what is important. The rate of traffic delivery depends on the balance of accumulated credits in your TrafficSwarm account. A higher balance means more traffic, or faster delivery.

The best kept secret about this is that you can build up a large credit balance as a free member of TrafficSwarm and get almost the same benefit a paid pro member gets!

As a pro member you get a few more credits, plus monthly bonus credits. But whether you are a free member or paid member of TrafficSwarm, you need to surf on a daily basis to see steady traffic to your splash pages.

Surfing TrafficSwarm consistently on a daily basis will generate more traffic in an hour of surfing than any other exchange I use!

I now surf about 20 exchanges on a consistent basis. One group of ten exchanges includes TrafficSwarm. I surf those for 100 clicks each. Then move to group two.

The second group of exchanges also includes TrafficSwarm and I again surf each one for 100 clicks.

At the end of the day, I have surfed TrafficSwarm for 200 clicks and earned more than 1,000 credits on that one exchange!

TrafficSwarm is an excellent source of leads for your business. It just happens that what we are offering is very attractive to the audience on TrafficSwarm.

Free Traffic From TrafficSwarm

Before I get into this, I want to state that I am generally NOT a fan of these MLM (multi level marketing) traffic generation programs.  Generally they only benefit sites that have high traffic levels, as well as sites that are targeted to other webmasters.

Even though this program is quite similar to many of the other MLM traffic programs out there, Traffic Swarm does have some distinct differences that I believe are keeping this program alive.

I have used it for quite some time to promote more than one of my web sites and have receive hundreds of hits per month, as well as proven revenue as a result of this program.

Be sure to read this entire article carefully because even though I have had success, not everyone does.  And I do believe these kinds of programs perform better on certain kinds of sites.

How it Works (In Traffic Swarm’s words)

It’s simple. You just enter some basic information about the site(s) that you want to promote – a Category, the URL, a Title, and a Description.

This information is used to generate targeted links to your site, which are then displayed throughout the TrafficSwarm network - including our incredibly popular “Start Page” system, the TrafficSwarm search engine, etc.

And our automated Anti-Cheat monitoring systems mean that you’re guaranteed only real, live, targeted visitors to your site(s).

The number of times your links are shown is based on a simple “credit” system – each credit that you earn or purchase represents another targeted link to your site. Listed below are the many ways to earn traffic credits …

1. Set your browser’s Start Page to your custom TrafficSwarm URL, and you will earn 1 credit each time you open your browser.
2. Click on other users’ links on your Start Page and you’ll randomly earn between 1 and 1,000 credits for each site you visit.
3. Use the TrafficSwarm Search Engine to find what you’re looking for, and earn between 1 and 1,000 credits for each site you visit.
4. You can also earn free “mystery credits”, as well as play the TrafficSwarm Lottery and win up to 25,000+ credits per day.
5. Refer other webmasters to TrafficSwarm (you will NOT believe how EASY this is, in fact, it happens automatically!), and you will also:
   • Earn 100 credits for each new activated user you refer
   • and earn 1 credit each time they open THEIR browser… down 5 “levels” deep! What this means is that if you refer Joe to TrafficSwarm, Joe refers Mary, Mary refers Bill, Bill refers Sally, and Sally refers Ed … you will earn credits on ALL of these people, and people they refer too!

So as you can see, there are several ways to earn free credits to your site.  And every time a credit is earned, your site will be displayed inside the network.

The reason I believe this works better than most MLM programs is because they do their best to target the links so your web site is shown to people that are potentially interested in your web site’s content.

Most MLM networks simply just display your link randomly so the people viewing the link to your site may have no interest whatsoever.

My Disclaimer…

I will also say that I believe my site has an advantage over many members because I am able to recruit so many people to the program.

If you can recall, you earn 100 credits (displays to your site) by referring other members to Traffic Swarm.  Well, since this site is geared towards existing web site owners, I have a lot of potential clientele right here.  So every time someone joins, I earn 100 displays for my link.

Generally, people that have sites that are targeted to other webmasters perform better with these MLM programs simply because they are rewarded more for recruiting others. And of course other website owners are going to be attracted to this kind of program since they want to increase traffic to their sites as well.

So if your site is about cooking, the majority of the people that visit your site are interested in cooking. They’re not concerned with getting traffic to their site.  Most of your visitors probably won’t even have a web site — so an advertisement for Traffic Swarm may go unnoticed.

However! Unlike other programs, Traffic Swarm does allow you to earn credits (displays for your link) by performing activities other than just recruiting other people.  This gives other types of web sites an equal opportunity to earn credits for their site as well.

Nevertheless, it’s free so you have nothing to lose! Click here to join Traffic Swarm today!

50 Inspiring Twitter Feeds for Christians

How To Twitter The Bible

Here’s a piece of trivia that I discovered while writing this post which every Christian Tweep will enjoy. The average Bible verse is 25 words in length and the average number of characters needed to Tweet a Bible verse properly is 140.

There is a huge and growing Christian presence on Twitter and it has become a great place to publish God’s truth. It’s an awesome platform for Christians around the world to speak God’s Word to each other, building each other up and encouraging one other. However, the 140 character limit means that there are many verses in the Bible that cannot be tweeted easily. If we want to leave room for retweeting and a small amount of personal commentary, we are left with even fewer verses that can be tweeted. Therefore, certain shortcuts are being taken to reduce the number of characters needed to tweet a verse.

Which brings me to the primary reason for writing this article. As more and more Christians get on Twitter and join the wonderful and unprecedented global Christian conversation, it would be valuable for us to have some guidelines for tweeting Bible verses. As most of you know, the Bible wasn’t written with chapters and verses, they were added later to help facilitate the reading, studying, referencing and sharing of God’s Word. In other words, they facilitate our conversation over the Bible. Social networking is enhancing that conversation, but with its preference to brevity, it is also changing the conversation’s format and structure. With these changes come the need for new shared guidelines.

For that we need to talk about several things; shortening the text of Bible verses without compromising them, shortening the Bible references (and the importance of tweeting the reference), dealing with Bible versions and their copyright requirements and also how to add helpful commentary while making it clear which words have been added.

1. Using Twitter Shorthand To Tweet The Bible

The acronym-style abbreviations used in texting are obviously not very useful for condensing Bible verses. The words that 143, lol, rofl, btw, etc shorten, do not occur very often in the Bible’s text.

What we can use is the language of Twitter. Twitter language incorporates simple devices that reduce the number of characters needed without compromising readability. Here are the basics:

• When possible replace words with a single number. (one = 1, to, two and too = 2, four and for = 4 etc.)
• When possible replace words with a single letter. (be = B, see = c, are and our = r, you = u, why = y)
• Of course there are combinations of the above. (before = B4 etc.)
• Hybrid words using the above work as well. (4tune, 4got, 4get, gr8)
• Don’t forget to use the symbols when you can. (and = &, at = @ etc.
• As long as it’s still immediately obvious what the word is, feel free to leave out letters. (the = th, that = tht, work = wrk etc.)
• Spell phonetically when it allows you to save characters. (luv, giv, sry, thx, thru) We need to use this sparingly on only the obvious and secondary words or the reading becomes laborious.

The great thing about Twitter language is that you don’t have to learn or memorize it. Once you understand the concepts, they’re easy to apply; use numbers, symbols and single letters when you can and shorten words by eliminating letters and/or spelling phonetically when possible.

These rules don’t compromise the scriptures integrity or readability and since just the words to, for and be occur in the Bible a total of more than 35,000 times, these shortcuts really help.

2. Twittering Bible Verse References in a Compact Way

Including the reference for the Bible verses that you tweet is important. If a person is encouraged by the verse, they may want to look it up and benefit from the context and a deeper reading. If the person reading it is not familiar with the verse and you’ve left off the reference, then the tweet no longer carries the authority of scripture because the reader doesn’t know where it came from.

Traditionally, if you wanted to quote the first verse from Ecclesiastes 3, you’d need to follow the verse with (Ecclesiastes 3:1) That’s 18 characters. Fortunately you can use the abbreviation (Eccles. 3:1) or the even shorter one (Eccl 3:1). We have these shortened versions because in the past an ever increasing need for brevity has called for their creation. Now a new need calls for even shorter abbreviations.

If we remove the parenthesis, which aren’t necessary, and eliminate the spaces, we save characters without losing clarity. Further, most Bible book abbreviations can be reduced down to two or three letters. That would reduce our example reference to Ec3:1, down from 18 characters to five.

Here’s my table of Twitterized Bible book abbreviations:

If you’d like to see a table that shows all of the Bible books and all of their abbreviations (as they’ve got progressively shorter over the years) you can find it here.

Another very obvious way to Twitter Bible verses and keep the character count down is to only tweet part of the verse. Many verses contain more than one sentence and it’s alright to just tweet the one that you’d like to share. (Remember the verse divisions were added later.) Galatians 5:6 has two sentences and the second one is short and can stand alone as an inspirational tweet, “What is important is faith expressing itself in love.” When we chop up a verse some feel it’s necessary to add a letter to the reference to let people know that you are not quoting the whole verse. To do this (if you feel so inclined) identify the first sentence with the letter ‘a’ the second with a ‘b’ etc. So the above verse would be referenced Gl5:6b.

If we chop a verse up in the middle of a sentence we shouldn’t add an arbitrary period. Some use three periods (…) to show that the sentence continues but since that uses 3 characters, I suggest an underscore (_).

3. Bible Versions & Copyrights

The copyright holders of all modern Bible translations allow us to quote from their version without using a full copyright notice as long as we publish their logo acronym with the verse (NIV, NLT etc). However, Tweeps are not including the required copyright notation merely because it uses up an additional 3 or 4 characters. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest a compromise. The key word, the one that makes the version’s name unique is often represented by the middle initial(s). If we use only these one or two letters, it is still clear which version we are quoting from and I’m thinking that the copyright holders would rather have that than nothing.

Here are my suggested new logo abbreviations for some of the most popular Bible versions:

4. Bible Commentary (Twittertary)

I find that adding personal Bible commentary helps make your Bible tweets more relevant to Twitter. They don’t get scan-read as quickly, they can be made relevant to the current trending topics and they start conversations more readily. For us to ensure that the readers know which words are ours, we should use this order; verse, reference, twittertary. This order clearly separates the Bible’s words from yours. Here are a few examples:

What is important is faith expressing itself in love. Gl5:6bL When R love is showing so is R Faith. : )

As iron sharpens iron as a friend sharpens a friend. Pr27:17L _or as a follower sharpens a follower. : )

If Bible Twittertary is all we are tweeting, we should still include the reference that supports the comment. In this case we can simply use the letter ‘C’ for ’see.’

When we R not acting in love we R not expressing & living R Faith. : ) C Ga5:6

Just for fun I did an online search of over 25 versions of the Bible and found the word ‘twitter’ twice; once in the NASB and once in The Message. In both verses the authors (David and Hezekiah) were praying and they compared the noises they made while praying to God for help to the twitter of a bird.

Like a swallow, {like} a crane, so I twitter; I moan like a dove; My eyes look wistfully to the heights; O Lord, I am oppressed, be my security. Isa 38:14 NASB

Insomniac, I twitter away, mournful as a sparrow in the gutter. Ps 102:7 The Message

David and Hezekiah twittered before the Lord and now we all benefit from reading about it. Likewise, our tweets should benefit and minister God’s truth to our readers. This new system for brevity can help us all do that well in 140 characters.

Two last tweets:

Let everything U say B good & helpful, so tht your wrds will B an encouragement 2 those who hear them. Ep4:29b Words & tweets. : )

Insomniac, I twitter away, mournful as a sparrow in the gutter. Ps102:7M Apparently twittering kept David up as well. : )
