]]> Alright, I have tried Spottt for a week now, and I’m not impressed. The exchange are not going to work for sites with low traffic, period. The only sites I can see this service work for is big sites with loads of views. That way they get an big amount of credits just for the views, but most certain they aren’t giving a good CTR. The only way such a service will work is either A: It’s based on clicks, not views. You send 2 clicks get 1 back. B: A more powerful category system, where your sites gets placed in a category with similar sites with similar CTR.

Free Credits

spottt2.gifOne day when I logged in I suddenly had over 4k credits. I’m not sure what it was, but thats the only reason that I got a couple clicks back to my site. Anyway, I think it was a mistake, and before I got around and used all the credits they have taken it away from me. Hehe.

Anyway, the service is not getting my premium location, and I’m taking them of. Most probably not going to put them up again.

Have you used or are using Spottt on your blog/site? How are that working out for you?

If you take a look over to the sidebar you can see a new 125×125 banner just beside my RSS counter. This is a banner from Spottt. (Strange with triple “t”, but I guess you have to be creative since most good domains are taken.) They have just launched, and the guys behind the program are the same guys that runs AdBrite. Banner exchange programs are nothing new, but Spottt got sweet design, and it looks like they are getting an high amount of traffic – fast. (An Alexa rank of 18k yesterday)

spottt_logo2.gifThey have been live in about one week, and got over 1300 members already. Thing is though, not only blogs allowed in the network, so not sure about the quality of traffic. They are also taking a lot of views them self. For every 1000 views you generate you get your banner showed on another site 500 times. IOW; Spottt takes 500 views. A 2:1 ration, which aren’t really good.

Anyway, I am going to leave the spot in my sidebar for a week, and see how it goes. I will of course report to you guys! :)
