Is the Firefox NoScript addon affecting your online marketing?

If you’re involved in online marketing, you’ve probably seen dozens of promotions for Sunny Sugg’s AllAboutAddons site.

I didn’t think much about it, because I don’t use but two or three addons with Firefox and one I don’t use is NoScript. So, I didn’t bother looking into it.

Then, I was reading Ray White’s Soaring4Traffic blog and his post about NoScript Revisited caught my attention.

I’m doing a lot of work lately building email series with Aweber for promoting the products and services I represent, and I use Aweber to broadcast new posts to this blog to anyone who subscribes using the form on the top-right of most pages, below my photo.

Aweber makes it easy to publish subscribe forms on your sites and you have the choice of using a javascript form (which is easier) or an HTML form (which doesn’t take any more work, but you can’t update what it says from your Aweber account).

I’ve been doing a lot of work with Aweber this week and I really didn’t want to lose that result because millions of people are using Firefox with the NoScript addon installed.

So, I’ve made sure that I’m using the HTML version of the subscription form in most places.

Do I think this is required? I really don’t know. I’m sure many people are using other browsers and many of the people using Firefox don’t have NoScript installed, like me.

Plus, some portion of the people who like NoScript have trained it to see what they want on a site, but I don’t know if they’d want to see my subscription form or not. I would like for them to see it, however.

So, I’m not trying to be alarming, but if you’re involved in affiliate marketing or building websites, you should probably be aware of the situation.

I am not an AllAboutAddons affliate, but Ray White is. You can visit the site by clicking the link in his NoScript Revisited article.

Even if you’re not interested in Sunny’s site, you should read what Ray has to say about his experiences with trying NoScript.

Act on your dream!

Private Success Team Update

Ray White announced earlier today that he has made major changes to the Private Success Team sign up page, including new graphics and a simpler design.

(Update August 2009: Affiliate link removed, as I no longer promote SFI Marketing Group.)

Starting today, new Private Success Team members will only need to sign up for two programs rather than the three that were previously required.

SFI Marketing Group remains our main affiliate program and Soaring4Traffic is the traffic exchange that will be promoted to meet our traffic needs.

Ray just announced a new email series that will provide all Private Success Team members with a better understanding of what our goals are and the process we take to build everyone’s downline in both programs.

If you wish to start building your list and promote the Private Success Team system, the email series will be available for you to copy and modify. It is highly recommended that you sign up for this email series to better understand the direction we are taking.

You are invited to sign up to my customized version of the Private Success Team message series.

You may sign up here:

(Update August 2009: Affiliate link removed, as I no longer promote SFI Marketing Group.)

This new email series is a total of eight messages spread over a period of about two weeks. Each member will be allowed and encouraged to copy the original messages and to create a customized series for you to promote the Private Success Team.

This is a great way to promote and build your list at the same time.

Ray added that we are in the process of adding more splash pages to our system in the near future.

This new email series will be encouraging new members to join us in the forum for questions, comments, or concerns. We sincerely hope that you will join us so we can work together to help each other build our teams and grow our businesses.

Please drop by the forum at your earliest convenience. If you are not already a member of the forum, come and join us right away.

Ray has been hinting that activity in the forum can be rewarding as he has plans to reward those who participate.

We hope you join us in the Private Success Team and start promoting it right away. Let’s get back to business and work together to build this team.

By the way, don’t forget to login to your Soaring4Traffic members area, click the Downline Builder link in the left column, and be sure to enter your referral username for the Private Success Team.

We will be sending more members to the downline builder, so don’t miss out on getting a referral.

Similarly, the traffic exchange downline builder in Soaring4Traffic will be promoted for our new Private Success Team members to join other traffic exchanges. Make sure you have your referral IDs entered.

I’ve created a brand new lens on Squidoo.com to help promote the Private Success Team and hope you’ll visit and share your opinions and feedback.

Come join our Private Success Team and we look forward to seeing you in the forum.

Act on your dream!

WolfSurfer traffic exchange makes big changes

April 7, 2008 by John Dilbeck · 2 Comments
Filed under: Downline Builders, Traffic Exchanges 

This morning, while going through my normal routine of surfing a few of the manual traffic exchanges, I went to WolfSurfer.com and noticed a big change.

It had been a few weeks since I was there. I’m not an upgraded member and I try to surf WolfSurfer at least once per month.

There is a completely new look to the exchange and when I logged in (using my old username and password), I found myself in the familiar LJ script that I like so much. Most of my favorite traffic exchanges use this script and it allows us to easily promote our sites using websites (preferably splash and squeeze pages), banners, and text links.

My sites had transferred over, but I took this opportunity to delete some sites I’m not currently promoting and to add one that has a higher priority for me now.

That done, I started surfing and enjoyed the smooth experience I have come to expect from the traffic exchanges that use the LJ script.

If you haven’t been to WolfSurfer.com in awhile, you should visit and see that all your promotions are in order.

While I didn’t dislike the old script they used, I like the current script much better.

If you’re not familiar with the LJ script, it’s used by most of my favorite traffic exchances, including Soaring4Traffic, I Love Hits, TrafficSoldiers, DragonSurf, and many others.

If you’re not taking advantage of these traffic exchanges, it’s something I think you should look into. Yes, it takes some time to get everything set up and you have to study how these systems can help you, but – if you do it right – you can benefit by driving visitors to your most important offers.

As soon as you have a business, you also have to start a traffic generation business, and traffic exchanges can work very well if you use them properly.

Want to learn how to use them more effectively?

There are two downline builder programs that offer great training and support, and both are free to join. Each has upgraded memberships at very reasonable prices and I’m upgraded in both of them, but you can get most of the benefits even as a free member. Both programs help you learn how to use the traffic exchanges to your benefit and also help you build downlines in a variety of the exchanges.

If you’re using traffic exchanges, you should be a member of VitalViral and Affiliate Funnel.

And, if you’re going to join many traffic exchanges, you should take advantage of the outstanding surf center feature offered by Soaring4Traffic. Not only does Soaring4Traffic offer this feature, it is a fast growing traffic exchange owned by a very caring and helpful owner. In my opinion, if you’re going to join only one traffic exchange, or if you’re looking for a good one to start with, I recommend Soaring4Traffic.

Act on your dream!
