There are so many different advertising programs available online these days and most all of them have their own unique set of pros and cons. As an internet marketer, you have to decide what features suit your style of marketing the best then look for programs that give you what you want while still providing enough members to make it worth your while to use that program.

When we find a program that fits us, we upgrade because the old saying, time is money is really true. We don’t have the time to click thousands upon thousands of email links each day and by upgrading we can drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to click enough links to make a program worthwhile to be in.

You have to try out a program before you know if it is going to suit your particular style of marketing and that often means send more than 1 email or place more than 1 ad to test results before making a decision to actually spend money on the program.

One of the first things I look at when checking out a site for the first time is the number of clicks needed for a solo. If this number is too low, the site stays bogged down with emails and people rarely click and of them. If the number is too high, free member are not going to work the program because there are too many sites offering free ads that draw them away from a site that has to be actually worked.

If seen sites with click needed as low as 10 and I’ve seen some that expect members to click on over 1000 solos to get a single free solo. Neither of those will last long. AdzQuik has a reasonable number of clicks needed for both the free and upgraded members. This is probably one of the reasons the click rate is doing so well for this program.

They offer everyone that joins 2 free solos so you can try them out before you upgrade. I’m not sure how long it will last but they have a offer right now where you can buy a super solo, 12 solos plus a bunch of other ads for just $12. It is a really great deal considering how high the click thru rate is for this site.

If you are really serious about building your business online, you simply can not get too much traffic and you ALWAYS need to look for the highest quality traffic you can find. Ads Quik is a winner in that regard!

Advertising that is fair for the advertisers and the members!

We have a slightly different philosophy in how we treat our customers and look at things from a slightly different angle. For everyone involved to truly be successful, all forms of website traffic need people placing ads and people looking at the ads. So for Goldmine Ad Exchange, we intended from the start to build things a little differently than what you may be use to.

Things have to remain balanced because if you don’t have enough of either one, everyone suffers and things will fail soon thereafter. Too often this results in admin who are forced to make change after change to their program in order to attract more of one side or the other. I personally believe the middle road is always the best road and I try to keep things running in a way that is fair for everyone involved.

For instance, almost all traffic exchanges whether they be surfing programs or safelists, need advertisers and the more advertiser there are, the better. So why is virtually every exchange on the market set up so people are attracted to only a few types of the advertising being offered. Surely it was not their intention to do this, yet that is exactly what happens when you make traffic links worth a tiny 25 to 50 credits and offer specific types of solo emails that pay 3000 credits in the same exchange.

Most people are going to ignore the text, traffic and hotlinks in favor of the much larger number of credits. So anyone that made the mistake of purchasing the cheaper forms of ads rarely gets a good value for their money because they end up with so few clicks.

The way we handle it at Goldmine Ad Exchange is all types of clicks pay the same amount, based on the type of membership you have. Even prices are much more in line with each other, with only a few exceptions where there are differences in the number of views you are paying for. This means the member that takes the time to look at all types of ads can earn much more than those that only look at solo emails.

For the advertiser it means that their text links or all types should pull much better traffic than at other ad exchanges, making all those freebie links we’ve been giving away much more valuable.

Cash Prizes and More!

We also offer all of our members the opportunity to win great prizes and as the membership grows, the prizes will grow also.
