This is going to be a daily update for the next month or so. By tracking things this way, you will be able to see just how effective text exchange advertising can be.
I have all of the text ad exchange programs that I belong to listed in a spread sheet, and each one is assigned a day of the week.
So I open my spread sheet and start clicking on the programs that are listed for today. Since I just started this regimen, there are only 4 programs for me to check this morning.
Right Here, Late Nite, B2B, and Digest411. Between them they have a total of 787 members that I can send a solo ad to today.
After I log in, I click on the advertising/advertising setup button on the left side of the page and then scroll down to my stats. My banners have been shown a total of 604 times and they have been clicked on 7 times. My solo ads from last week have been opened by 41 people and I have gained 1 new member in my primary program downline since the 28th.
Now I simply resend my solo ad in each program by clicking on one link and then hitting the resend button in each program.
The next step is to join at least one more program today. I belong to a program that lists over 200 text ad exchanges and has promo codes for all of them.
(If you join any of the text ad exchanges that are listed above, I’ll send you the link to get the promo codes for each of them.)

I’m Not A Hare, Are You?
I have found that if I set up a daily routine for my advertising, that I am much more apt to get a regular response. I know it’s not a fantastic sign up rate, only one this week, (none of this 30-40 members a day bull), but remember the hare and the tortoise. I’m a tortoise.
I’ve recently started using text ad exchanges as a portion of my advertising mix and thought I’d share with you what I do each morning.
I have all of the text ad exchange programs that I belong to listed in a spread sheet, and each one is assigned a day of the week.
So I open my spread sheet and start clicking on the programs that are listed for today. Since I just started this regimen, there are only 3 programs for me to check this morning.
Beach Party, Eclipse and Traffic Works. Between them they have a total of 1485 members that I can send a solo ad to today.
After I log in, I click on the advertising/advertising setup button on the left side of the page and then scroll down to my stats. My banners have been shown a total of 320 times and they have been clicked on 5 times. My solo ads from last week have been opened by 62 people and I have gained 1 new member in my primary program’s down line.
Now I simply resend my solo ad in each program by clicking on one link and then hitting the resend button in each program.
The next step is to join at least one more program today. I belong to a program that lists over 200 text ad exchanges and has promo codes for all of them.
(If you join any of the text ad exchanges that are list above, I’ll send you the link to get the promo codes for each of them.)
I’m going to be re-posting this blog every day for at least a week and then I’ll look at the stats for the whole week. Keep checking back to see how things are working out.

How to Join A Text Ad Exchange
Step 1: Set up a Gmail account just for your Text Add Exchanges, as you will be receiving a lot of ext ads and it is easy to control them with Gmail.
Step 2: Pick a Text Ad Exchange to join. You can run a search for the top 10 text ad exchanges on your favorite search engine as a starting point, or you can go here and find over 200 exchanges with promo codes for all of them. This program is free to join and just keeps growing.
Step 3: Fill out the form to join, being sure to use your new gmail.com email. As soon as your application is accepted, go to Gmail and log in to your new account. There should be a Welcome Email from your new exchange.
Step 4: Go ahead and open it and click on the verification link, which will open in a new window.
Step 5: Before you leave Gmail, you need to set up a filter for your new account. On the menu bar there is a button for ”More Actions”.
Select it and click on the “Filter messages like this” link. Then click on “Next Step”. Now select “Skip the inbox” and “Apply the label” and in the drop down menu, select “New Label”, which you will name for the exchange. Now check the “Also apply filter” next to the ”Create Filter” button and then click the button.
Now, whenever any mail comes from your new exchange, it will be put in it’s own folder instead of filling your inbox.
Step 6: Now, go to the new window for your new exchange and take a look at the one-time offer that is always there when you first verify your email. Make your own decision, based on your knowledge of your goals and assets as to whether or not to take advantage of it. Either way, you will end up on the “Start here” page after you log in. (You may find another “Special” after you log in…)
Step 7: It’s promo code time. You will usually find a promo code on the start page. You need to go to the “Advertising” page to enter the code for your free advertising. There you will find a form for entering your promo code(s). It is recommended that you type in the codes, as pasting them doesn’t always work. If a code doesn’t work, contact the site owner and provide him with all of the details.
Step 8: Once you have all of your promo codes entered and accepted, then return to the advertising page and scroll all the way to the bottom. There you will find your free advertising.
Step 9: I recommend setting up a spread sheet with all of your information for advertising all of your programs.
The columns on your advertising sheet need to have the following headings:
Program Name (hyperlink this to your login page)
Program URL (This is the URL that you want your advertising to lead to…I recommend using a splash page for each program. This allows you to capture their information when they ask for more information)
Banner URL (This is the URL where your banner is stored.)
Button URL (This is the URL where your button is stored)
Your Hotlinks Description (A subject or headline)
Use a separate row in your spreadsheet for each program.
Step 10: Click on the Banner setup link and input the correct information for your first banner. You will be asked for the name of your banner, the banner URL (copy and paste this from your spreadsheet to avoid errors.) and the target URL (copy and paste this also). After you have entered your information, click on the preview and then save it. Now go back to the advertising page and set up the rest of your banners.
Step 11. Setup your solo ad. I keep all of my solo ads in a separate folder for easy access. Be sure to NOT put your URL in the body of the ad. It goes in it’s own box at the bottom of the form.
Step 2: Pick a Text Ad Exchange to join. You can run a search for the top 10 text ad exchanges on your favorite search engine as a starting point, or you can go here and find over 200 exchanges with promo codes for all of them. This program is free to join and just keeps growing.
Step 3: Fill out the form to join, being sure to use your new gmail.com email. As soon as your application is accepted, go to Gmail and log in to your new account. There should be a Welcome Email from your new exchange.

The Spreadsheet Advantage for Text Ad Exchanges
I am really enjoying all of the advertising that I’m getting through the promo codes on the text ad exchanges.
In case you’re not familiar with text ad exchanges, they are similar to safelists, in concept. You earn credits by reading solo ads from other exchange members. These credits can be used for banners, buttons, hotlinks, traffic links, login ads and solo ads.
For the banners and buttons, they ask for the URL for the banner/button and the link that each one leads to…your site.
For the hotlinks and traffic links, they want a headline/description and the destination for the link.
For the login ads and solo ads, you also need the destination URL as well as the lead and the body of the ad.
This is a lot of information to keep track of, isn’t it?
Not if you know how to utilize the spreadsheet advantage.
Before we get into the spreadsheet advantages, let me offer a word of advice. Set up a new Gmail email account just for these text ad exchanges. Most of the exchanges will only accept a gmail email, so you might as well be prepared.
Now, on to the advantage of using a spreadsheet.
The first step is to set up the columns in your spreadsheet. I keep one worksheet for the programs I join and one for all of the programs that I want to advertise.
On the text ad exchange sheet, you want, at a minimum: The Program Name, the login URL, the Referral URL and your username and email used in the program. This will allow you to have all of this information at your fingertips. You can also track the membership numbers, and the date you set up your ads and when to come back to this site for review.
The columns on your advertising sheet need to have the following headings:
Program Name (hyperlink to your login page )
Program URL (This is the URL that you want your advertising to lead to…I recommend using a splash page for each program that allows you to capture their information when they ask for more information)
Banner URL (This is the URL where your banner is stored.)
Button URL (This is the URL where your button is stored)
Your Hotlinks Description (A subject or headline)
Your Traffic Link Description (This can be the same as your hotlinks, or a different subject/headline)
Your Solo Ad (This can be just a reminder of where it is, or the actual ad.)
Your Log In Ad (This can be just a reminder of where it is, or the actual ad.)
Your Banner Code (This can be used in your login ad)
Now, after you have joined a Text Ad Exchange and entered your promo codes for all of the free advertising, you can go to your advertising sheet and all of the information is right there for you to set up everything. Just set up a separate row for each program that you want to advertise.
