Does anyone have experience with Instant Buzz? I've signed up, but have not seen an increase in traffic. Also, I might add that more traffic to a site does not guarantee sales, leads or sign-ups. Is there a formula for these sorts of stats or a third party that specializes in this?

Thanks.

You can only get Instant Buzz by invitation as far as I know, but you can see an Ad I am trying of theirs on my site temporarily.

I'm using IB. The IB delivery method is a good idea, but it hasn't worked for me yet. The first day that I used IB I did get four hits to my site. I haven't had any hits from IB ads since then (Counting hyper ads, IB has delivered about 2,100 ad impressions in the last five days).

I visited your California Coastal Decor page. You must have removed the IB add. I didn't see it floating. If you have removed it, I agree with your decision. The IB ad doens't seem to fit the content of the above page.

For now, I have placed the IB ad on a page that discusses traffic exchanges so that the IB ad is consistent with the content of the page on which it appears. Nonetheless, the IB ad on that page has not generated any signups. My guess is that the invitation only scheme that is implemented in the IB member's control panel is the primary means for getting signups; however, I prefer to use my valuable leads for use in programs that generate leads, not take them.

You're correct that more traffic does not mean more leads or sign-ups. I've used traffic exchanges, TE, to generate thousands of hits to my sites without getting even one signup, but that's my fault. Until recently, I failed to recognize that TE traffic is comprised of people who surf to sell. Thus, I was not offerring them a product or service of interest to them. I now know that I have to offer something in the form of downline building or get-rich-quick schemes to get their attention.

My experience with TE traffic blends well with my recent experience with IB. It's clear that IB ads are being displayed to people who are sellers, not buyers. A suitable product must also be found for this seller group.

You asked, "Is there a formula..." According to ads that I've seen on IB, there are serveral formulas. But other than displaying ads on IB, none of the formulas inlcuded IB as a factor.

I too am a seller using TE's and IB, so downline and rich are attractive words to me. I may try a formula that uses rich-downline to appeal to seller groups.
