Wow doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun. HitsConnect.com the premier Ad tracking, banner tracking, full featured rotators and split testing system had its 5th Birthday in October 2009. Although I have been online for many years before. HitsConnect.com was the first website that I built from scratch and proud to see it still providing a great service after all these years.

HitsConnect.com is a fully independent service with over 10,000 members and tracking over a 1/4 million hits a day. We are not associated with any Traffic Exchange system or service and therefore provide an un-biased and professional service to its customers.

But I’m not resting on my laurels – phase 2 of our system upgrade plans are nearing completion and you can expect some new features, better performance and maybe a few surprises.

So thank you to all members of HitsConnect.com for making it the premier Ad tracking.

Clickbank Pirate is the first true turnkey system for generating affiliate income with Clickbank products, allowing members to generate unlimited Clickbank commissions on complete auto-pilot. Clickbank Pirate has a proven system that gives marketers access to everything necessary for Clickbank success without having to deal with any technical issues, writing or selling.

With Clickbank Pirate, users will achieve the success that many sites and programs promise, but fail to deliver. Perhaps the best benefit of Clickbank Pirate is that any prospect brought in will be tagged for life.

We’ve just finished uploading a bunch of new cool features to Instant Banner Creator. So if your an existing member then its time to log back in and check the new stuff! and if your not a member, well whats keeping you head over and check out this excellent free resource.

So what’s new?

1. Resize Your Images

You can now easily resize all of your saved images. Just click the “Resize” button beneath the individual images, select the new size and hey presto the image will be sized accordingly.

2. Convert Your Images

Instant Banner Creator saves all the images as .png which we consider to be the best format for web graphics. However there is still a need to use other formats so we have now added the ability to easily convert them to .jpg or .gif – just click the “Convert” button beneath the saved graphic, select the required format and whether you want to also preserve the orginal .png format.

3. Create Bigger Images

Yep, due to popular demand we have increased the maximum width and height you can select when creating your own templates. And to make it even easier we have added a text box next to the size sliders – you can now just type in your preferred size as well as moving the slider.

Over the next few days we’ll also be adding a ton of new templates and clip art you can use in your designs – there’s already a few new ones in there.

And finally Cindy Battye has created an awesome new members area for us. You have to log in and see it, it looks like a million bucks
