Take It To Site Hoppin
What is SiteHoppin? If you didn't heard already about it..that means that you've leaved the past months in a cave. If you don't know yet how much you can exploit this SiteHoppin thing to the benefits of your blog or website, take a look for the following minute here:
SiteHoppin it's like a StumbleUpon thing, combined with some over stuff, that can make traffic and even money for you. It's like StumbleUpon because you can do the same with the sites already engobled into the system. You can rate them(5 beers out of five, or less), promoting even your own content of blog.
Browsing your eyes around SiteHoppin main page, you will soon discover that it's all about beer(rating, stocks, credits..).I guess is more fun this way.And beside the lack of business like feeling to the site, it's still a very functional , and if you put some thought into it, lucrative too, system.
Traffic & Beer Stocks
To keep things simple sitehoppin put 33% of their
total traffic out on the market. This traffic is devided evenly between “shareholders”. So if the are 100 stocks in total and sitehoppin receives 100.000 visitors per day each stock can expect to get around 333 unique visitors every day. The number of stocks is limited and expected to go up in value as sitehoppin becomes more popular.
The great thing about the whole system is that, in the way each stock is a page on SiteHoppin and you can do whatever you want with it. I have my page display this blog. The price of each stock depends on your page name. At the moment they are charging $10 for each vowel and $1 for every consonant.
If you are not happy with your results you can always sell your stocks on their beer stock market. In fact one stock or page called “entrepreneur” is going for $2500 at the moment. If you want "Forex" you will have to pull out of your pocket only 200$.I know that for sure, 'cause is mine! :)
The main traffic is coming through Beer Credits.
To hop from site to site, you just press the SiteHoppin button on the upper left hand corner. Every time you press the button, you hop to a new site and earn one Beer Credit. If you rate the site you hopped to, you’ll earn 5 Beer Credits. Other ways to earn credits includes:
* Tagging or Comments using our “Tag” function = 20 Beer Credits
* New Site Submission = 30 Beer Credits
* Click from your site to SiteHoppin through the Beer Widgets = 50 Beer Credits
Every 10 Beer Credits gives you one hop to your site. Build a million credits, get 100,000 visitors. That’s how it should work anyway. Users are allowed to put the hops on auto surf by clicking the Slideshow Mode button. This mode is suppose to let you surf the internet like an iPod but it can be used as a cheat - engage Slideshow Mode, go to bed, walk up in the morning to thousands of Beer Credits.
Affiliate program (2 tier)
Beer Stock owners are automatically enrolled into SiteHoppin’ two-tier affiliate program. Beer Stock owners can offer new customers 25% discounted with their affiliate link. If the customer makes a purchase, the affiliate receive 25% commission. This setup makes it cheaper for someone to buy Beer Stocks from an existing affiliate than to buy direct from SiteHoppin’. You earn 15% of all net profit on the Beer Stocks when your affiliates sell Beer Stocks through their affiliate link.
This two-tier structure has allowed SiteHoppin to expand quite quickly. At this moment, a check of the site shows 59 members and 2,256 guests online. Not bad for a Sunday weekend.
At the very least, SiteHoppin is another way to generate traffic to your blog. It’s free to join and have your site listed so I don’t see any reason not to sign up
