Apsense Business Traffic Exchange - What's a website without traffic?

Hi Barbara,

The problem of having to reset the categories for your BC was fixed last week.

If you still have a problem then you need to put in a support ticket.

It was also said last week thart there is nothing you bcan do to get your site seen except make sure it is active in the BC exchange.

As for putting in so much effort not to get it seen, just hope that your effort is not rewarded when it is seen by pathetic small minded people that rate you with a 1 or a 2 as mine has b

I'm wondering - what does it take for your site to be seen? I have 228 credits just sitting there. Everything is turned "on". My site was seen last week as I got a rating - finally!

When I made a post early last week about the ABCs, there were a lot of responses saying they rate sites frequently. That tells me sites are being seen.

I do know that I have to keep resetting the industry choices, even when I do not edit my ABC. Is this why my site isn't being seen and my credits aren't be

Hi Lonnie,

Like you I rate each site that comes up. I look at every page and then base my decision on what content they have put in each page.
Naturally the testimonial page is not included in my assessment; there is no crime in not having any testimonials.
I also do not take Audio into consideration. I am sure there are many members that may suffer from a speech impediment for one reason or another.
I know for sure of one deaf person, I also know a very sharp mined member who is an abso

Hi Jenny

The post review and add links has been there from day one as far as I know.

I will clarify it for you.
You can no longer just sit and click the vote button blindly leaving it at a default setting of 5, once it has completed its count down.

Try it and see what happens.
Do not touch anything and when the vote button turns active at the end of its count down click it.

I like the idea of the BCE, its a great way of getting traffic without being concerned about bugs etc self loading on a computer like often happens with typical TE's.

Does the score have any current (or future) benefit to the ABC's ? For example - ABC,s with higher scores will be seen before lower ones etc, ?

If not, would it be easier to have a "Match shape" feature like other traffic exchanges to avoid the problems mentioned with people deliberately rating a business lower...

When using the center I will rate each site that comes up. Alasycia, I agree with you on some guide lines for rating someone's center. My only question to that would be who would set the rules and would that be fair?

I do know this, when someone has really work on his or her page and made an effort to fix graphics then I will give them a better rating. If one comes up that has no work on it the rating goes down.

The challenge is to work on one's center and raise the content to a high level

Hi Jenny,
When a member adds their link it goes under resources. And yes you have the option to accept links or not. This is in the business center setup page. Even if you decide to let members add their links, you still get to approve them. Lynn

Hi All,

Yes Bj i have just gone and inspected the rating system for the Buxineses Centres. and I see we can now post a review and add our links.

Question - does the buxiness centre owner get a choice in the matter - to accept or reject the other members links? i hope so.

or are we adding a link to their centre from ours??

I STILL AGREE WITH KAREN (and this time there will be no charge Karen! lol)

"If we must have a rating system, I think it would be great to have some criteria and some sor

Karen,
Refreshing the page doesn't work for you? I have been using that method since day one of the exchange. A '"next" button would be nice though :) Lynn

Hey Jenny,

Guess what? I agree with you!

I'm waiting for that "Next" button so that I can bypass those ABCs that are not yet set up (as it is now you are forced to vote, change categories, or post a review).

As you may have guessed, I am not in favor of a "rating" system at all. A traffic exchange with points simply for viewing would get my vote!

Bj, I did note that improvement you hinted to... and I'm sure that will help. If we must have a rating system, I think it would be gr

Hi Jenny

Me thinks you have not tried the exchange today.

Management have already taken some action.
As to what I will let you enjoy discovering what. lol

A hint is no more blind clicking just to get points.

Hi Amy,

ilove the Business Centres - Ithink they are a very useful tool and a great idea.

The only problem that I can see is that The Traffic Exchange is just like a surf site. You go and visit x number of pages to earn your biz exchange credits and then click onto the next one. I think that very often people doent even bother to change the default rating from 5.

The other point that does concern me is - on what basis are people rating other people's biz centres? A high vote for your frien

Hi Amy

Yes that did answer my question and the number of sites is increasing. However I would like to post a word of Caution for members.

If you have not set up your BC make sure it is not set to "Publish in the Business Exchange". Make sure you add some content first then activate it.
By doing it that way you will not get low scores for having no content.
Remember your Score is an average of all votes cast so if you get for example 10 1’s because there is no content then you wou

Thanks Amy,

I just set mine up and began to review some of the sites. I like this new feature and did not run into any problems. I think once everyone has turned on their business center this will be a big hit.

The more I read , I get this feeling that this program will become the most talked about social network every.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for heads up on turning on the business exchange.

I've been finding similar issues. More than 5 ABCs come up, but ones that I have reviewed have come up more than twice. I either have to review them again or choose another category, because there is no Next button.

I'm curious how the ABCs are rotated?

Hi Bj,
We turned off all the ABC websites last night to add the "Publish to Business Exchange" option, so that might be the reason why you only saw about 5 ABCs running. I just surfed the Business Exchange center and there is a lot more then 5 running : )

For anyone who's curious about the Business Exchange just check it out it's pretty cool : ) Here's the link for a quick look - http://www.apsense.com/bce

I will be reviewing the ABC websites and give my suggestions on them. So please

LOL, laughing at you Bj, why don't you want to keep reviewing those 5 sites over and over. Hope you are giving them good reviews every time.

Make sure that you go to set up your business center and click on "Publish to Business Exchange". Otherwise your abc will not be seen in the exchange. Lynn

Something is different today...refreshing and changing the category does help...but, it seems only to be a temporary fix....then it sticks again and starts repeating or getting stuck on one abc. Lynn
