Hey everybody,

Well, I’m glad to say that the first of a series of new changes to the site are finally underway.

New look and feel- We’re cleaner and 4x faster
I really wanted Traffic Punk to get back to its roots of keeping things simple and easy.
There was a lot of great feedback from you guys about the site taking a long time to load and many
folks mentioned that they really disliked having to scroll so far down in the members area.

Well, needless to say, I’ve listened and addressed these issues.
I’m happy to say that scrolling has been cut significantly and according to a recent speed comparison test,
the new design even loads 4.2x faster than the old one!
The homepage has been designed to act similar to a squeezepage with all key elements made
“above the fold”
This makes it much easier to promote in other traffic exchanges and also offers a stronger “call to action”
and a clearer definition of what Traffic Punk has to offer.
The menu in the members area has been compartmentalized to help improve navigation and banner placement has been changed for greater visibility.
You may have also noticed that its much easier now to connect with Traffic Punk via the
social networking sites from our homepage.
Have you joined us on facebook?

Opt-in List Builder
We all know that building a list can drastically increase your bottom line.
When logging into Traffic Punk, the first thing members are presented with is YOUR opt-in ad!
I originally designed this feature for Promolotto and it received floods of glowing testimonials
from the TE community.
Now, Traffic Punk members can enjoy the same results and build their list on autopilot.
Upgraded members will receive priority ad placement and can place multiple ads.
Its very powerful, easy to use and all members can take advantage of it.

To set yours up:
In the members area, just go to “my Advertising” in the main menu.
From there, you will have the option to “setup opt-in email ads”
Simply add your autoresponder info and you’re done. Easy!

Bookmarks
I’ll admit, this feature isn’t exactly earth-shattering. However, I can’t tell you how many times I saw a site I really liked while surfing but wished there was an easier, quicker way to add it to my favorites or bookmark it without my surfing being interrupted so I could go back to it later.
To bookmark a site while you’re surfing, just click “Bookmark” right there on the surfbar.
You can review your bookmarks at any time by simply clicking the “view Bookmarks” button
in the members area.

Well, I’ve rambled on long enough here I think.
I hope you like the changes and find them useful.
Your feedback is always welcome.

To your success!
Ryan

Just a quick heads up to let you know that a few more changes will be taking place shortly at Traffic Punk.
In some ways, we’ll be looking to the future, while going back to our roots
Please expect a few hours of downtime sometime between now and late next week, as I’ll be
making these important changes to the site and member’s area.
I will send an email out beforehand when I’ll know the specific time.
Until then, enjoy your surfing and thanks for your understanding.

Finally here..
Several months ago, I had designed a new social networking/chat feature that unfortunately was put on hold as I waited for a partner TE to complete a joint project.
That project never saw fruition, the TE owner sold his exchange and left a few of us hanging. But that’s ok..
So with that said, it gave me a little more time to tweak a couple things and finally provide you with a great way to expand your marketing reach.

What is it?
Traffic Punk finally has a chat feature. While its nothing new to traffic exchanges, I still believe its a great way to get to know your fellow surfers, network, share ideas and make some new friends. You may notice the appearance is a bit similar to the chat at Promolotto and that is because I once owned that exchange and designed the chat feature there.

Built-in Social Networking
To take advantage of both the chat and social networking features, all you have to do is log in, add your social network IDs for sites like Facebook, twitter, Youtube, etc. and surf.
That’s pretty much it.
Besides interacting with members via chatting, you can also view a member’s “virtual business card” by simply clicking on their name in the chat.
Doing this will bring up a nice, non-intrusive popup that displays the member’s name, photo and social networking icons, so you know who you’re communicating with and if interested, connect with.
By moving the mouse away from the popup, it will close.
You may also minimize the chat panel any time if you do not wish to participate but of course, I recommend leaving it open and interacting with the community.
To re-open the chat panel, all you have to do is click on the red text to the right that says “Open chat”

A Few Basics
While this should be obvious, I think its still important enough to mention.
Please be professional and courteous of others and avoid spamming, inciting, harassing, etc. We’d like to maintain a professional atmosphere where all are not only welcome but feel welcome too.

Let me know what you think of these new features or if you have comments, questions, etc. post them right here.
Looking forward to chatting with you!

Let’s go Turbo!

Today, I announced an all new membership available to the members that pretty much
blows the doors off all the ones before it.
A few highlights include:

• 70% affiliate commissions
• 3200 traffic credits a month
• 3200 banner ads a month
• 3200 text link ads a month
• much more

Thats just to name a few. There’s just too much to list here.
Another benefit Im putting the final touches on is an exclusive members area that is only available to Turbo members.
It will include valuable downloads and access to the featured banner and text ad placements throughout the website.

Limited time only!
As I write this, you can snatch it up for a year for the price of two months, but you’ll need to hurry.
Log into the members area for details:

See you there,
Ryan
