Tuesday, February 26, 2008…….Dateline Winchester where for no reason I can print I am sitting at my computer thinking about Joey off of “Friends” at 7:30 am. In particular, the episode where Joey says something to the effect of “Ohhhhh FREE traffic, not free traffic.” I bet some of you know the exact show I’m thinking about too. Darned if I can remember the appropriate punch word, but I gotta tell ya, I did a Joey-move myself with this one.

You see, I decided I would delight you today with my take on “If you don’t pay someone is it free?” After all, nothing is truly free, there is a purchase “price” attached to every move, thought, action and reflex we have. At first, my underlying thought was to talk about the difference between being a free member at a traffic exchange vs paying to upgrade. Then, I pondered… did I possibly believe that just because I didn’t pay to receive credits sans-efforte….is my traffic free? So, I Googled “Paid Traffic” and a whole other can of worms sprung forth. I had completely missed the “paid 2″ genre of traffic. Quel Dommage!

Do any of you play poker on the net? You know what I’m talking about? All the rage during the HL/O fiasco (hockey lock-out shhhhhhh) when an entire population of ill-prepared card sharks took a once-cherished gentleman’s game and turned it into lo-rollers flavour of the week? Yeah, me too. Heck, I was even pretty good at it. So proud too, just played the ‘free’ games. Soon found out I was not as good as I thought I was and lo and behold, poker players lie! They say they have nothing and you know they are lying but you still throw your million playchips into the center of the table and watch in horror as they make their flush on the river and your boat turns into an ugly mess of 2 prs. Does that not cost? Do you not suffer? Did you know you can buy playchips? Oh, and for all you nay-sayers who spout “I’d never pay for free chips” Yeah, right, and you would never spend $5.50 to create momentum either!

(I digress. Sorry about that, I lost big last night, lol and went and bought playchips, okay, there I said it. )

Now, what was I saying, oh yes, I remember, the many faces of free. I first want to set a couple of “givens” just so we are all on the same page.

1. A free traffic exchange starts everybody off at the same spot. How fast and how well you succeed is directly related to the effort (cash or hands-on) you are willing to spend.

2. A Pro traffic exchange has mandatory joining fees that in return can serve a higher ratio of credit/views.

3. Paying to have a list of names given to you will, at best, save you time balancing your checkbook. Penniless, visitor-challenged and possibly snickered at in the chat rooms. You’ll pay and you’ll pay and you’ll pay. And that’s not just my thought either.

And

4. There really IS no Coupe DeVille, hiding at the bottom of the crackerjack’s box.

Folks, I am going to be up front with you here today. I really did miss the boat on this one. There is no definitive answer to my dilemma. Sometimes paying to upgrade is a real boost. For next to nothing out-of-pocket, it is possible for you to benefit from upgrading at some traffic exchanges. The time you save by upgrading and “paying” for a little seniority is most often a good trade-off. You won’t get rich quick but you may open more doors with your improved positioning. I have been both a free member and a Pro2 member here at Dare2Click.com where for the price of one hamburger meal, I receive random referrals and increased bonuses for an entire 30-31 days, 35% commission on any of my down line members’ purchases. I even win when they win on the bonus page. And I forgot to mention the reduced timer that comes with both pro upgrades. So you are not only receiving credits from a wider base, you also get them faster due to the lowered viewing time. Did you know as a Dare2Click Pro2, for only $7.99/mo, you will have unlimited access to an awesome support team, thought-provoking forum banter, the right to read and comment on my commentary, the ability to build a down line that pays you back too, Awww Heck, that stuff is for everyone here at Dare2Click.com. But then you knew that, right???

Be on the lookout for your newsletter in the next couple of days. I’m thinking there may be a bit of a surprise …

Ciao,
