Site Clean Up? Do The Owners EVER Surf Their Own Site?

Let's face it. As a rule, none of you are surfing one site at a time. You are surfing 2-20 at once. One bad site will screw up your entire rythym in 1 second flat and you are left with rebooting, reopening, and reporting that bad site.

As a TE owner, I understand that it is almost impossible to surf every site on your exchange every day. But how bout looking at those reports from your members? How about trying to find the bad sites and GET RID of them FOREVER by banning the URL? Let's face the facts here - if that URL is a framebreaker, than the next one from that same domain will be as well. They already broke the unspoken and spoken rule of TE's. They WILL break it again.

Now all of you owners out there who are charging your members anywhere from $1 a month to $50 a month for your "quality, fast traffic", should take responsibility for your actions. It IS your site, it IS your business, and if you don't take care of it, you ARE going to LOSE it. Your competition is going to break your nose time and again, because your customers do not want to take the time to reload, reopen, report or reboot everything every 2 pages!

Scripters - Take note. We WANT you to find out how Start Xchange is allowing us to block a site from ever having to see it again. We WANT you to include it in every script you sell, and update the ones you have already sold. It is a ridiculous waste of time for us, as customers, to have to do the TE owners job, but since we do, FIX IT.

Owners - Take note. REWARD your surfers for reporting a bad page. Give them free credits, free impressions, free text links, a penny or just a HELL YA, Good Job Member 999 for letting us know about this crap on our exchanges. Surfers wouldn't mind reporting bad sites if they were getting a small thank you for it. To those owners who already do this, you are doing a great job!

Surfers - Start speaking your mind. Are you going to continue paying for that site when it does nothing but frustrate you day in and day out? There are 4 million other quality exchanges out there to try. Let's get on it!

In summation, TE Owners, get off your lazy butts and do some surfing on your own exchange. I guarantee 100% that you will find a site that needs to be removed, banned or just plain boycotted for the rest of time. Your surfers will thank you!

Best Wishes,
