Before going to the effective usage of traffic exchange websites, it is good to have a clear definition of what exactly are traffic exchanges.
Traffic exchange is a service that offers generation of free of paid traffic to your SFI gateways.

You’ll get credits every time you view other members’ web pages for at least 20 seconds. Every time another site member views your SFI web page your credit balance will get deduction.
There are two options of traffic exchanges:
- Manual exchange requires the site member viewing the web page to click for the next web page.
- Auto exchange runs the members’ web pages in your web browser automatically for viewing.
These two options will drive traffic to your SFI gateways but manual exchange will most likely lead a visitor to actually read your web page. On the other hand, auto exchange user will just leave his/her computer all night automatically refreshing on his/her web browser web pages after web pages of site members just to accumulate credits while he/she sleeps and is unlikely to become a new sign up.
