The Easter Giveaway Is Here
Wow. That’s all I can say about the Easter Giveaway! There are over 500 free gifts, and one of them is for StartXchange. I’m looking to increase the number of people we can advertise through this, so I need some help!
Basically, the gifts are shown based on a point system, the more people you bring in, the higher your gift is shown! So I’m going to give 100 credits to every member who joins the Giveaway under me! You’ll have access to hundreds of freebies, 100 credits, and you’ll be helping expose StartXchange to a whole new market!
Simply join here, and after activating your account send an email to admin@startxchange.com with your username (from the email address you signed up from) and subject “Easter Giveaway Credits“. There is a limit of one per member! The time frame it takes for me to process depends on when you send it, and how many participate, but I’ll do it ASAP =P
Activity Has Skyrocketed!
Have you been watching the Top Traffic Exchanges? If not, you should check it out! This tracks the number of unique members logging in daily for the exchanges listed. If you click on the Stats for StartXchange, you’ll see the past few weeks activity has tripled!
In fact, it’s been so active that the Surfing Bonus for 100+ and 125+ surfing has been turned on almost non stop! Start Surfing now and get the extra bonus!
New Forum Update
The NEW Forum is working great! Getting the kinks out has taken quite some time, and I’m sure some more will turn up. But the great thing is how helpful you members have been at pointing them out! Don’t be shy, we want this to be the best forum online! So if you have any feedback at all, post about it

Amazing News!
If the NEW Look wasn’t enough, well the NEW Forum should top it off! The OLD Forum still exists, but will slowly be going away. You currently cannot start new threads, and in one week you won’t be able to reply to old threads. Two weeks from now it’ll be gone!
Unfortunately I won’t be able to move over posts and private messages. Now would be a GREAT time to login and read any unread messages!
Super Saturday Reminder
Today is Super Saturday! This means you’ll get extra activity points while surfing, helping you go up in levels quicker. Remember, this happens every Saturday, so put it on your calendar!
Start Surfing
Vote For StartXchange!
If you haven’t noticed the only thing blue in the new design yet, look for it! Remember you can vote for StartXchange once a week! If you are a member your vote counts even more, so if you really like StartXchange join Affiliate Funnel and vote (you’ll discover there is more to it than voting =P) Speaking of which, their weekly update conference is starting.. gotta run!

Activity has been Soaring!
We’ve passed Traffic Splash on the Top Traffic Exchanges list! I think this has to do with the new look StartXchange has =P We’ve also been consistently seeing higher numbers of active surfers, and passing the 200,000 page views a day mark!
If you forgot, you get a higher surfing bonus when more members are surfing. So that 3:1 ratio can easily turn into a 2:1 ratio! Start surfing now!
Did you see the New Look?
The new design was done by Selina from DesignRampage.com. The feedback has been great! So if you haven’t yet, make sure you go into the members area and check out the easier to navigate menu!
Tomorrow’s the Big Day!
Over 600 people are subscribed to my blog, can you guess why? Well besides my already awesome content, every Tuesday an interview is posted! Tomorrows will be Bobby Ivie from Funny Farm Traffic! It’s a big one, so make sure you save some time to read it all! If you haven’t subscribe now! There are owners big and small participating, so it’s a wealth of information.
Want an Expert Answer?
Write now I’m looking for questions from YOU! It can be about StartXchange, about me, or about anything in the traffic exchange or web development area! So if you’ve got a question that you are just eager to get by an experienced guy, come and ask me!

Floating Action Button
You’ve seen the StartXchange widget by now, but how cool would it be if you could create your own? Well now you can with the Floating Action Button. It’s designed for sales pages, so you can have that buy now button always in view, but it isn’t limited to that!
It’s also really easy to use, and it’s such a simple concept. This is one tool that I’m definately going to use! I’m thinking about using it on my blog, to make the subscribe form always in view. Where can you use it?
Oh and did I mention it’s free for upgraded members? If you are already upgraded, click here to get it. If you aren’t, click here to upgrade! If you’d rather not upgrade to get it, and buy it outright it’s $7 here. But you could get a 1 month upgrade AND the really cool script for the same price!
So What Do You Think?
I’d like to know what you think about this whole Floating Action Button, and what you think about me mentioning it in the newsletter? You know me, I don’t send out emails like crazy. I’m thinking about including ads or recommendations in the newsletter. Or maybe I could setup a separate email list for offers, so if you don’t want to hear about it you don’t have to, and if you do you can get extra points.
So what do you think about me recommending Floating Action Button? Get 500 activity points for filling out this survey!
2000 Limit for Activity Points
After reading some members discussing surfing 2100 pages in a day, I’ve decided to cap the activity points earned to the first 2000 pages each day. You can read full details in the forum.
Tuesday: Bobby Ivie
Owner of Funny Farm Traffic and co-owner of Traffic Roundup, Bobby Ivie is really spilling the beans this time! You’ll want to put some time in your schedule for Tuesday as he’s got a great interview. It’s exclusive to my blog so make sure you subscribe so you’ll get it!
And the Other 500 Activity Points
Just click the code! New members don’t know how it works, so that’s why I mention it again periodically. Just click the link below, and login if it asks!

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
