A “load time penalty” for your website?

If you’re a regular user of Traffic Exchanges in the promotion of anything online you might be interested to know some information that is being bantered around by some of the SEO people at the top.

First, a couple of facts:

1. I was reading along in my emails this weekend and I discovered an article that mentioned the possibility that the Search Engines may soon add your website’s “Load Time” to the criteria that determines your ranking in the search engines.

2. While surfing on Traffic Hoopla’s list of the top ten Traffic Exchanges this past weekend… I noticed that several of the sites actually “timed out” my browser because they were so slow to load.

Now, that all said… considering that many of the Traffic Exchanges display content for as little as six to 20 seconds… before you can click to the next site, is YOUR page being fully shown? How much time does it take for YOUR page to load? Have you ever counted? Or timed it? Don’t you think you should???

How often have you had one of the Traffic Exchange (T/E) owners suggest that you use a “Splash Page” to lead to your main page? Now do you get why? Are you getting the message???

Just this past week, three of the top T/E owners got together and re-launched the TrafficExchange Toolbox (which is free) and guess what one of the MAJOR components in that package is? Yes, a Splash Page builder! And, I hear it’s a real Beaut! You can check it out right HERE.

Best wishes on getting YOUR website to load REALLY fast and check out those splash pages, they work really great!
