Free Upgrade Friday

Just a reminder, today is friday and free members can surf as an upgraded member!

Super Saturday

Tomorrow is Super Saturday! This means you’ll receive extra activity points while surfing, and the bonus page will come up way more often! Tons of points and credits to go around! It seems last Saturday many forgot so remember every Saturday you get these bonuses!

New Mass Assign Banners

This will make many happy, you can now assign impressions to banners much easier with the mass assign page. Banners are sorted by CTR, so the highest performing banners are listed first! No more trying to figure it out yourself, just make it simple and assign more to the ones at the top =P

Free Upgrade Fridays!

Starting this Friday, all Free members will get to surf as Gold members..  Free! I’m sure after tasting the difference you’ll all want to upgrade anyways, but for those who can’t it’s a great time to surf!

Ranking Traffic Exchanges

Inside the members area you can see the new Affiliate Funnel ranking icon. Remember to click it once a week and get your voice heard! I don’t see the results so don’t feel bad if you don’t think StartXchange is a 10. If that is the case however you can always post some suggestions in the forum =P

Speaking of Rankings..  I just wrote a 866 word post on my blog that’ll hopefully convince you that rankings are just for fun! I didn’t realize it would be that long when I first started writing, but I hope you enjoy!

Top Newbie Questions

I’m working on a TE Knowledge Base and I need your help! What are the top questions new members have when joining StartXchange, or traffic exchanges in general? Any help would be much appreciated. In fact, if you post a question in that thread and I answer it in the KB I’ll give you 100 credits! (first person to post the question counts)

Need Help?

Richard and I were both away over the weekend. We are caught up with support emails, so if you are waiting for a response on something chances are we didn’t get it! If you still need help please send a *friendly* email to support@startxchange.com

Get some more Points

Being that it’s Super Saturday, and you’ll be earning a ton more points today anyway, you don’t really need these 500 activity points. But if you are willing to click the link I suppose you can still have them!

Team Winnings

There was a bit of a mix up with the team winnings, but it was fixed up today. The winners in the average surfing category got prizes, but the winners in the loyalty points didn’t. Oh wait, but we dropped the average surfing category? =P I didn’t reverse the prizes for those who won in that category, but I did add prizes for the loyalty point winners. You can see the final tally here: January Team Results

Your Opinion Counts

I’ve added the rating feature to the surfbar. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go surf and read about it here. Some people say they liked it, some people say they didn’t, and then some have changed their mind about it. So to make it easier on me about getting a consensus, please cast your vote!

Slower Support

In case you missed it in the forum: Richard is away for a few days, and I’ll be moving to a new house. So support might be slower during this time period.
