The Nexus Connection

I was just surfing at Nexus Exchange and was quite pleased by the variety of the sites in rotation. There can be so much more, though. Over 2600 sites are in the database, but a mere fraction of them have credits assigned. No credits means no views and no traffic.

Since we changed operating scripts back in March of this year, the credit distribution to your campaigns has changed. No longer are credits automatically pulled from your credit storage to show your sites. You must login to your account and assign credits yourself. Yes, logging in can be a pain, but it gives you absolute control over your advertising at Nexus Exchange.

Even if you have 100% of your credits on auto-assign, your bonus credits and referral credit earnings will need to be assigned. You get a percentage of the credits surfed by your direct referrals. You also receive credits for showing your Nexus Exchange referral pages. Plus, every 25 sites viewed brings you a bonus credit link on the surfbar to click. You are guaranteed at least 5 BONUS CREDITS for every bonus credit link clicked on the surf bar.

Advertising credits are valuable, but they don’t do any good unless they are assigned to your campaigns.

Make it a point to log into your Nexus Exchange account at least once a week to check on your credits. And if you are upgraded, remember to login at the beginning of each month to collect your credit allotment.

Keep your sites, and yourself, front and center at all times.

We hit 1600 members today! Thanks to all of you who make Nexus Exchange what it is, an up and coming traffic exchange soon to be a force to be reckoned with!!

No, there isn’t anyone sipping mimosas on the French Riviera using Soren Jordansen’s credit cards. But this has got to be the lowest, dirtiest, most downright unethical thing I have ever seen in the traffic exchanges.

As I was surfing yesterday, I saw one of the BootScootin Traffic custom splash pages. It had Soren’s picture and a banner for his TE, DragonSurf. Looked great. I didn’t question that Soren would promote BootScootin Traffic. I even sent out a tweet on Twitter about it. I mean, every TE owner wants someone with Soren’s reputation to be behind him/her.

Then somebody pointed out to me that the referral ID number was too high to be Soren’s since Soren was a JV partner for the launch. Even the target url for the DragonSurf banner was not Soren’s. Apparently, someone decided to “borrow” Soren Jordansen’s identity to grow his own downline at BootScootin Traffic.

Meanwhile, Soren himself caught wind of the masquerade and notified BootScootin Traffic’s owner, Sunny Suggs. Sunny quickly dealt with the situation in typical Sunny style. If you’ve been surfing the exchanges today, you know what I’m talking about.

I bring this up not simply to point out that TE owners Sunny Suggs and Soren Jordansen are constantly on the lookout for cheaters of every sort. This incident illustrates the importance of brand awareness. The cheater chose to use Soren Jordansen for a reason: to recruit downline members by making them believe that they are joining under a reputable marketer. Soren Jordansen has branded himself well with a good reputation. The cheater wanted to use Soren’s good name instead of taking the time to build his own. That is probably the saddest part of this whole mess.

The winning continues at Nexus Exchange.

And don’t forget that 19 other members will win credits, too, totalling over 10,000 credits to be awarded on October 1.  Login to your Nexus Exchange account and check out the current referral contest stats.
