October News from Liz-e-Biz

Well, unfortunately, the summer is over for those of us in the northern hemisphere and winter is on the way. However, don't forget that this is a really busy time for those in the internet marketing arena. More people are online because their kids are back at school, so if you use the traffic exchanges in particular, now is the time to surf.

I may have told you this before, but I'm so thrilled with this tool that I'm going to tell you again! It's called AdSpyTracker and it tracks all the visits to your pages and records the clicks on your Google AdSense. So does Google, you might say, but that's all they tell you - that there has been a click. AdSpyTracker actually tells you the referring domain, referring keywords and much more, making it so much easier to refine your keyword targeting, etc.

If you host AdSense on your website, I really recommend that you take a look at AdSpyTracker.

Traffic Exchange News

WebCentre Surf reached 21,000 members last month. This is a great exchange from Simon Kelly and well worth a look.

Traffic Roundup Admin have kindly written out instructions on how to clear the cache of your computer, particularly if you are surfing multiple traffic exchanges and are experiencing difficulties. It is as follows:

Clearing Temporary Internet files in Internet Explorer:

1. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2. Midway down the screen find Temporary Internet Files.

3. Click Delete Files to delete the temporary cache files.
To change the amount of space used for these files click Settings and slide the bar to the left (to reduce) or right (to increase) the amount of space. Maximum storage amount recommended is 100 MB. Then, where it says Check for newer versions of stored pages, make sure the radio button is select that says 'every time I visit the webpage', or 'every visit to the page', depending on your version.

It is also recommended that you go to the go to the Advanced tab, scroll down and put a check in the
box that says 'empty the temporary files folder when the browser is closed.

Clearing Temporary Internet files in Mozilla Fire Fox:

1. From the Tools menu, click Clear private data

2. Make sure there is a check in the box for Cache (the rest are option)

3. Click clear private data now
You can also click Tools, Options, Advanced, Network, then set the size of the Cache (no more than 100 MB) and/or click Clear Now.

Clearing Temporary Internet files Netscape:

1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

2. To the left of Advanced (on the left side of the display) click on the Plus (+) sign.

3. Click on the word Cache.

4. Click the option Clear Disk Cache.
You can change the size of the cache by changing the number of kilobytes on the left side of the screen where it says Disk Cache __ Kbytes. Maximum storage amount recommended is 100 MB.

Again, versions of the browsers change and the verbiage changes, but this will give you a good idea of how it's done. If you are having problems surfing Traffic Roundup, try doing this, then restart the browser (and even the computer). That should fix it.

Tips Of The Month

Don't try to multitask - you get less work done in the end.

If you surf the traffic exchanges, don't forget to assign your credits. Even if you have pre-assigned 100%, many of the exchanges still need you to assign bonuses and prizes.
