What's the future of TEs?

[gide83]

Most of TEs are currently cheating on their delivery.
See how ranking a TE became a business.
We, surfers and customers, we have nothing to do
with this War. They are just going crazy with their biz,
let them kill together, friends, we got no result from
their promises, we were cheated, cheated and cheated!

Never forget: we are their customer!
TIME TO GRAB THE POWER!

What could they do without us?? Imagine a strike at SX!!

We, TE customers and users, have the power to put you
down. No more rank at Alexa, no more clicks to have SX
alive and say SX is one among the best.

You, TE owners, what's your answer?
You, surfing members, what's your answer?

We are struggling for having our pages viewed and these
guys make their profit (profit??) from our hard task.

What is the future of TEs?

Could you please lower the tone of your posts. Lately it seems you are unsatisfied with StartXchange. If that's the case, you are free to use other exchanges.

However implying that I am cheating in any way won't be tolerated. By referencing exchanges cheating and a strike at StartXchange it is implying that, whether or not that is what you are trying to do.

Yes, I make money from StartXchange. But that's because I have the hard task of managing the site. I've been improving it since 2001. It's not a cookie cutter script with hundreds just like it. Completely unique.

I've worked hard at putting it together so you can have people to advertise to. You aren't viewing ads for nothing, you are receiving traffic in return for it. The core of an exchange. Most methods of advertising you have to pay for, but here you can work at it for free.

Both LOSE!

NO Exchanges, NO Traffic!

NO Traffic, Business cannot exist!

IF nobody surfs, then what? It is already hard enough marketing without throwing up MORE roadblocks! Traffic Exchanges are the best way to advertise and brand ourselves at the same time...

God Bless and Keep on surfing...

Well here is one very happy SE user
Inexperienced but trying hard
Got more signups here than anywhere else!
(This excludes my addies for other TE'S)
Also a lot of us are members of other TE's

Lets go to ranking! I am happy here in SE with the hits I receive
I advertise good honest sites - if I am not happy with one, I don't join!
If I am unhappy after joining - I PULL the addies

So whats your rant Gida?
We all go back to what?
Got it! PAID Advertising Yes!
Want a good link? Well - HAHA who wants to be a millionare?
NO WAY

When I first read your post, I said to myself that you must be joking... & I was thinking what really went wrong ?

Yes, Tim sometimes can't respond to every post, but when necessary, he would.

You sure pissed him to reply you on this post as it caused some alarm.

Cheers, Guys..

I think perhaps a little rough timing and maybe the wrong wording that's all. Been hearing a lot of unnecessary fussing lately.

Unfortunately some people could take a lesson from this post that wouldn't even if they saw it. Gide may have been 'joking' but some people do become very cynical about traffic exchanges because they had a bad experience and they forget that webmasters are people too. Some are crooks, but many are honest people with legitimate businesses.

I think it would be best all around to let this pass. I have made comments that undoubtedly did not go over quite the way I intended. If one looks at previous posts from gide, this thread's tone becomes an anomaly. It may be that Tim was feeling a bit worn down when he skimmed the post, if his post was indeed him being 'pissed'.

Gide, may I kindly suggest you edit your first post to point out you did not intend to put Tim in a bad light? It's a little unfair, but some people will put expressing their selves before assessing the situation and won't realize the 'gotcha' until after their post is made.

Absolutely, we've got to remember that Tim is only human and I don't think he's representative of the bad apples out there. An apology would hopefully set things right.

Also, I just want to share that in my tracking (not using Javascript) StartXChange is one of the few that delivers the hits that it promises. I thought that the ratio of hits promised to hits actually delivered would be off by 50% as in other TEs BUT it's consistently around 90% and that's amazing enough. Tim could just have easily done what others are already doing, but he doesn't and we've got to give him credit for that.

Thanks Tim for your integrity.

Thanks all. Yeah been getting alot of complaints lately, kinda frustrating. Also many distractions offline to deal with too. Caffine seems to no longer work for me either.. Ugh.
