The Traffic Exchange Review: How it will work

Ok,  Here is how the reviews of traffic exchanges here at The Traffic Exchange Review will work. 

Each exchange will be tested using a splash page identical to the following with the correct exchange name in place of "Blog Estates"
Sample Splash Page
Each exchange will be tested with 100 visitors.  The pages stop counting stats at 100 visitors.  100 was chosen because it is a reasonable amount of credits for someone to earn while surfing.  The following statisics will be tracked: the time it takes to deliver 100 visitors, the number of unique visitors, the number of unique visitors on a 24 hour basis if the test takes more than 24 hours, and the number of clicks produced. 

If the exchange offers Text or Banner advertising it will also be tested.  For Text advertising the text "Traffic Exchange Review" will be used.  Clicks and unique clicks will be tracked.  All text ads will be tested with 500 impressions.  Although a specific length of time for delivery will not be tracked a rough estimate will be available.  Banner testing will also use 500 impressions and will also track hits and unique hits and give a rough time estimate.  The following banner will be used for testing.

In addition to statistics and testing full reviews of each traffic exchange will be provided.  These reviews will discuss the in's and out's of each exchange to make sure that you are not missing out on a great feature. 

Be sure and check back often, Reviews will be starting soon.
