Russell Brunson’s ExitFire Review
There’s a new viral “exit” software on the market. I’m always on the lookout for interesting tools and strategies to help my clients increase their online visibility and traffic. I clicked through to the website and signed up to give the service a test run (it’s FREE – you can find out more at ExitFire).
Russell states that over 99% of the visitors who come to your website will NEVER buy. He goes on to say that there’s a way to turn people LEAVING your website into NEW targeted traffic. Intrigued by the e-mail, I surfed on over to the ExitFire site to find out more information.
There’s a free video showing how you can get over 200,000 visitors PER DAY to your website using a very simple system. You can check out the video by pressing play below:
First Impressions
I’m not entirely sure if the service will live up to it’s claims but I’ve installed it on one of my sites that is currently getting zero traffic which probably isn’t the best strategy but I’m trying to approach the experiment from the newbie level. If I were interested in getting traffic to a site that wasn’t currently getting any traffic and this service promised to do so, my first instinct would be to install the code on the site.
For most newbies, they’ve just encountered the first challenge: getting the code they need onto their site. It’s one line of javascript that needs to be installed on a page right after the <body> tag. For some people, that might be a simple task. For others, it may pose a bit of a challenge. I’ll post a quick video tutorial on how to get the code installed shortly.
If you have a blog, chances are you won’t know where to add the code. I recommend just adding it into a sidebar widget so that it’s available in your blog template. I tried it on one of my blogs as a test and it worked as expected.
How ExitFire Works
Once the code is installed on your site, when someone visits your blog or lands on the page to which you have added the javascript code, nothing remarkable happens until you leave or exit the site. Then you’re presented with the popup you see to the right.
Seems simple enough, click OK to leave the page or cancel to view one of the partner sites.
Within the ExitFire admin panel, there’s an area where you can set up the websites you want displayed when you earn credits. You earn credits when you refer others to ExitFire and when someone clicks on the exit popup. In the few minutes it’s taken me to generate this post, I’ve already earned three ad credits.
I’m not quite sure yet how that translates into dollars and cents but it will be interesting to monitor the progress over the next few weeks.
Once you click Cancel, a random partner website is generated for display. The first time I tested the popup, I was thrown into a loop of three different sites. I kept clicking cancel and after about three sites got tired of the game, thinking I was going to be stuck in an endless loop of exit pop-ups. So I can see how that could get annoying to a visitor who just wants to leave!
When I tested it again through another browser, I was shown only one site and clicking cancel again brought me to the ExitFire site. Third test through another browser on another machine brought me straight to the ExitFire site. I’m hoping that that means they have some kind of algorithm running that tracks clicks to prevent click fraud rather than it being a bug in the system.
The Proof Will Be In The Pudding
I’ll be monitoring my new toy over the next few weeks to see if traffic increases significantly on the sites I’ve added to my profile. It should be easy to see a huge spike in activity. I’ll be sure to post any significant results.
What do you think?
- Will this new viral exit software live up to its promises?
- Do you think it will significantly increase qualified traffic to your site?
- Or will it fail to deliver on its promises?

I have just joined the premium service, so I don’t know how I will like it yet. One thing that I don’t want to happen is to irratate my visitors. After reading what you have to say, I am a little concerned. I will just have to see how it goes. If you e-mail me your link, I will keep you updated on my thoughts.
Couldn’t afford the 47.00 but, I couldn’t affor not to try something new to get exposure.
Hi Janice
Thanks for stopping by. Good luck with the service. I personally haven’t really done too much with it since I added the code a few days ago. I plan to just leave it for the week to give me a snapshot of activity.

Having purchased several products thru Russell Brunson company, it’s common for the claims to be exaggerated.
Exit Fire was created with the main intend for Russell Brunson(Dot Com Secrets.com )to get leads for his own company. Ultimately his hopes to enroll you into his $5,000 -$8,000 + plus coaching program
In simple words you are paying to advertise his company. While there is nothing morally wrong with that (Example: paying for a Nike t-shirt in essence is advertising for Nike)
Note you will be bombarded with offer after offer in your e-mail inbox about the “next must have tool, trick or secret”
If Brunson had his feet more firmly planted on the ground he would be giving Exit Fire away instead of charging. After all if you use this software you ARE in essentially a free working employee of Russell’s
Don’t get me wrong he is a nice guy, I have meet him several times, I live in his home town Boise Idaho about a mile from his office.
Don’t pay for it, use the “free” version , and be cautious of the incoming barrage of never ending offers
If you want a boost in visitors, try Traffic Geyser . . .as of this writing they offer a close to a 30 day no cost test drive of there software (as it should be)
Make sure your ducks are in a row to fully utilize it’s power. Do your part and it will do as promised

I bought into the Exit Fire to try to bring more traffic to my sites. My problem is I don’t know where to put the code. I read in your artical above that you were going to make a video to show us how to put in the code. I was wanting to know if you made the video? If you did where could I find it?
Thanks for your help.

@Skye — Thanks for your detailed comment. You raise some very good points. I was quite skeptical when I saw the broadcast but I thought it can’t hurt to sign up for the free version. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your feedback!
@Howard — I just posted the video tutorial. You can find it in the post http://million-dollar-rolodex.com/blog/add-exitfire-code/ Hope this helps!

I’m conflicted. I know how annoying pop ups are, so I wouldn’t want my visitors running into that kind of irritation after they left my site. I have signed up, but have yet posted the code to my site. I also am a bit hesitant to pay 47 bucks for an upgraded account, because quite frankly, paying money to make money online is one big no no for me. IDK, perhaps if I hear more compelling success stories.
