Viral Traffic Games: A Marketer’s Playground

With over 440 exchanges and mailers participating, VTG allows you to promote your ads while engaging in an interactive game that rewards you with traffic, cash prizes, and more.

How Viral Traffic Games Works

At its core, Viral Traffic Games is designed to enhance your experience with traffic exchanges and viral mailers by introducing a gamified layer to the advertising process. As you surf sites or read emails within these platforms, VTG invites you to participate in games, turning routine marketing activities into an engaging experience. This integration means you can win prizes and gain additional advertising exposure without extra effort.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Competitive Gaming: Challenge other members in a fun and competitive environment, adding a new dimension to your marketing efforts.
  • Rewards for Participation: Collect items and win prizes that include cash and additional advertising opportunities, enriching your marketing strategy.
  • Multi-Site Exposure: Play across any participating site, ensuring your ads are seen across a wide network of platforms.
  • Weekly Tournaments: Compete for top positions in weekly tournaments to win prizes and gain recognition within the VTG community.

Leveraging Viral Traffic Games for Marketing Success

1. Maximizing Membership Rewards

Even if competitive gaming isn’t your main focus, simply being a part of Viral Traffic Games can offer tangible benefits. Just moving your character in any direction when prompted, rewards you with credits, banner impressions, and even cash at the traffic exchange you are surfing. This ensures that every VTG member, regardless of their gaming interest, can benefit from the platform.

2. Strategic Gameplay Insights

The Art of Leveling Up

To get ahead in VTG’s weekly tournaments, it’s crucial to know the fastest ways to level up. The best strategy is to go after other players whenever you can. If you see another player nearby, challenge them before you pick up your fifth magic item. This move not only bumps you up a level but also keeps your collection of magic items intact, setting you up for another quick level up. Here’s the kicker: when you level up by beating another player, you’re teleported to a new spot on the map, which might just put you next to another magic item you can grab right away. If you go for the magic item first and hit that fifth one, you’ll level up, but you’ll lose sight of the other players, missing out on easy battles. Always target other players first to make the most of your moves and keep leveling up quickly.

Planning Your Weeks

It pays to be strategic with how you play Viral Traffic Games. Sometimes, the best move is to actually take a break from competing. Spend a week just scooping up those hard-to-reach magic items instead of going all out in the tournaments. This sets you up nicely for the upcoming weeks, where you can come back stronger and level up faster. Think of it as gathering your ammo before a big fight—it can really boost your performance in the next round of competitions.

3. The Power of NPCs and Quests

Don’t miss out on the special NPC characters in Viral Traffic Games. They can seriously boost your game without steering you off your main path:

  • Sarah the Item Collector: Keep an eye out for Sarah in the tournament games. She’s on the hunt for specific magic items and if you bring them to her, she’ll trade you some valuable magic rubies. Once you complete her quest, which you can only do once a day, you’ll need to wait until the next day to get another one from her. This makes every encounter with Sarah a precious opportunity to stock up on those beneficial rubies.
  • Chloe the Speedster: Chloe is all about speed and loves a good chase. Catching her isn’t easy as she moves quickly and never tires, but she rewards you with a bunch of magic rubies. You can only catch Chloe once per day, so making it a daily goal to chase her down can really pay off in terms of boosting your resources.
  • Katie and the Weekly Tokens: Katie’s role in the game is to hand out weekly tokens that enter you into a lottery for banners and text ad impressions at the end of the tournament. Although there’s no limit to how many times you can find Katie, she teleports to a new location after each encounter. I usually grab a token from her when she’s nearby, but I don’t go out of my way unless it’s convenient.

By strategically interacting with these NPCs, you can gather extra rubies and tokens that enhance your gameplay and improve your chances in the weekly tournaments without much extra effort.

4. The Power of Referrals

VTG is not just a game—it’s a powerful tool for growing your downline and boosting your presence across various traffic exchanges. As you dive into the game, you’ll find that VTG encourages you to join new traffic exchanges to unlock greater rewards. This aspect is particularly beneficial because VTG acts as a downline builder. When you sign up for new exchanges through VTG, your referral links are automatically promoted to your downline. This promotion extends beyond just your direct contacts, reaching down through their downlines as well. As a result, you’re not only expanding your network but also significantly enhancing your marketing efforts by building a robust referral network across numerous traffic exchanges.

Practical Tips for Maximizing Your Viral Traffic Games Experience

Weekly Planning: To make the most out of Viral Traffic Games, it’s smart to plan your activities weekly. Instead of just randomly collecting items or competing in tournaments, strategize your moves. For instance, allocate specific weeks to focus solely on gathering hard-to-reach magic items, while other weeks could be dedicated to intense competition. This planned alternation between collection and competition can significantly boost your performance and rewards.

Referral Engagement: VTG is more than just a game; it’s a community builder. Actively promote VTG within your network to enhance your visibility and credibility. Every new member you bring into VTG through your referral not only boosts your position but also contributes to creating a vibrant, engaged community. Share your VTG experiences and invite your network to join through your referral links, showcasing the benefits and fun of participating in VTG. This not only helps you build a deeper, more active downline but also strengthens your entire network by adding value to their marketing efforts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Over-Focusing on Item Collection: While collecting items is essential, don’t get so caught up in it that you miss opportunities to engage with other players which could offer quicker leveling up.
  • Neglecting NPC Interactions: NPCs like Sarah and Chloe can significantly tilt the game in your favor. Regularly engaging with them can turn an average game week into a great one.

Viral Traffic Games offers a fresh and engaging way to boost your online marketing efforts by combining the fun of gaming with powerful traffic generation and network expansion strategies.

I Could Have Durfed All Night

Hello and happy Saturday!

This past week I recorded my first durfing video.

What is durfing?

I guess I should back up a little.

There is this certain traffic exchange that I spend a lot of time at called Sweeva.  One of the things that makes Sweeva unique is that all members view the same page at the same time.

Every so often the guys at TimTech will throw a “Sweeva surfing party” where we all get online at the same time to look at and critique each other’s sites.  It’s a great way to get honest opinions about what works and what doesn’t work in a traffic exchange environment.

So a few weeks ago John Gunazon decided to take advantage of the increased surf activity at Sweeva and post a video of himself dancing and surfing at the same time.  Thus “durfing” was born.

You can read John’s blog post and watch his video here:
http://www.johnguanzon.com/blog/2011/04/durfing/

This was quickly followed up with a durfing video from Lynne Sherman:
http://lynne-sherman.com/?p=139

Pretty silly, right?

But that’s exactly the point!

Traffic exchanges are a great way to quickly and easily get your pages seen by a very large audience…  but they can also be extremely boring!  How many times can you look at the same generic affiliate pages promoting the same generic business opportunities before you completely tune out and stop paying attention?

Good luck ignoring John and Lynne’s durfing videos.

John’s video was completely different from anything else out there.  It sticks out like a sore thumb which is exactly what you need to do if you want your pages to get noticed.

I decided to put this idea to the test and record my own durfing video.

Are you ready?

What has been seen cannot be unseen.  lol.

I linked the video to a squeeze page promoting my blog (you can see the squeeze page here) and spent about 2000 credits to have my site shown all day Thursday on Sweeva.  If I were buying credits that would have cost me about $7.00.

The result.. 8 new blog subscribers.  Not huge but I know there are already a lot of Sweeva members who are subscribed to my blog.

What did blow me away was the response the video received.

You can view some of the comments here:

Generic affiliate pages rarely get many comment but people were practically falling over themselves to leave comments on my page. I also received over a dozen tweets from members and mentions on multiple blogs.

The point is that I got noticed.  The next time someone sees one of my pages they are going to say “hey, there’s that durfing guy!” and hopefully pay attention to what I am promoting.

And it’s so easy to do!

I spent about 15 minutes setting up lights and recording the video on my flipcam and I spent another 20 minutes making the squeeze page in AdKreator.  I did spend about 30 minutes inside Sony Vegas adding the text and tweaking the music levels but that was just me being a perfectionist.

The point is anybody can do this.

You don’t need to make a durfing video, just do something different.  Post your video upside down or record a very serious promo video while wearing last year’s Halloween costume.  Yes, it’s silly but it works.

Internet marketing doesn’t have to be boring.  Have fun and enjoy what you’re doing.  The results are sure to follow.
