Traffic Exchange (TE) can provide you with lots of extra FREE traffic and if you use the right strategies, you may turn those page hits into high quality targeted visitors.

You may want to consider this;

1) Participate and spread your surfing using lots of exchanges
Earn credits by viewing other sites. Use your credits to receive traffic from the exchange to your site. People must view your site for a minimum number of seconds before they proceed to the next site.

2) Surf more than one site at once
This is one of the easiest ways to click up to large number of credits and generate large number of hits to your site. Use multiple tabs to surf more sites at once.
Take note also that, by surfing for a small number of credits, on a large number of exchange sites, you are likely to get more unique hits, importantly you will be ‘hitting’ a number of interested job/business opportunities seekers spread across from so many other traffic exchange sites.

3) Use Splash pages.
A quick loading web pages with a link to click to open in the main target site.
The best way to use splash pages is to combine them with a name and email lead capture box, so that you the chance to follow-up on leads, later.
Consider the images to be used here properly, to underline the message you are putting across.

The above are the main points that will bring more exchange to your site. Others like concentrating on your lead capture pages (for names and emails to be added to your auto responder), surf for banner impressions, use a Rotator if you like, are also important to consider, among others.

One final point is, concentrate on exchange with longer count down. This is simply because the longer your webpage has to be seen, by other surfers, you have a greater chance that your page will convert to sales or sign-ups.

You can use traffic exchange sites to get hits to your site but you really want to get conversions.

To make this work takes a lot of time and research.

You want to check out the safelist sites for what they promise - and make sure they do not have an 'auto read' feature which is when the computer does the work for the other marketer. The marketeer will not actually see a banner, text message or email so unless you want only a large hit count, these are not helpful. No one will actually see what you are advertising.

You will want to check out reviews and comments of a safelist site you are thinking of going with. Do a Google search for the name and see if anything comes up such as "I was cheated by" or "This is a phenomenal service!" - but also take these with a grain of salt as often reviews are fake or paid for. Just be cautious.

There are exchange sites that allow you to do banners, text ads and email exchanges. You really want to go with the emails which require an actual person to open your email and stay on your email for a period of time - usually 6 to 30 seconds. If what you have written in your email is compelling enough the other marketeer who opened your email may actually click through to your link and buy what you offer.

You can do this for free but there are times when it is good to invest a small amount of money to make sure your ads/emails go to more people.

Overall, you don't want to do this for too long without seeing results, which would be conversions. This type of advertising is quite labor intensive and can take hours out of your day. You will want to start a spreadsheet to keep all the details especially if you sign up for more than one list.

Good luck!

Hello

Traffic exchange websites are great at branding and establishing a website's name and/or reputation and helping you to increase traffic to your own affiliate program or webpage.

Thus, no one said free traffic is simple traffic. So you need to work out your webpage to make the best of it.

STEP 1: Design a captivating and persuasive splash page (catch page) to rotate and promote on the free traffic exchange. Create a convincing splash webpage with a optin form that prompts the user to subscribe for a free gift or additional info.

STEP 2: Register as a free user and be sure to test if there's any validation code emailed to your email so you validate it and activate your membership. You will additionally receive joining bonuses, with free credits you'll use to advertise and rotate you webpages. It's vital that you simply save your membership member and password information so, you can remember latter.

STEP 3: Surf around your member's page and read any updates, rules or information.Only after you're away from all the program's particulars you may go and submit your splash page (or webpage) and assign credits.

STEP 4: Many traffic exchanges offers you different advertisement choices as well as; banners and text ads. Use any extra advertising opportunity and upload your banners and/or post your text ads.

STEP 5: Head to the surf page and surf other user's ads or webpages. Be consistent and workout a schedule so you'll surf every week and build up more credits you'll then use to rotate and market your own site.

STEP 6: Allocate new credits to your site to keep it on rotation and displaying to other surfers (users). Invest and spread your credits consciously or accordingly to your marketing wants or urgency. You can even purchase credits if you need more rotations or if you do not have enough time on your hands to surf.

To your succes!

I'm actually a very knowledgeable person in that area due to my recently having spent so much time researching this. I'm in the process of setting up an ECA that will sell TE traffic and I'm making my own new Traffic Exchange site too.

There are many TE sites and you should join a number of them. DON'T immediately upgrade! Check the site out as a free member first. You might find that site doesn't work well for you and you'll be able to move on. Upgrade later to earn more credits AFTER you're comfortable with the TE.

What to look for:

1. Surf the site and watch for SFI ads to come up. If they are too frequent then that TE site might be saturated with SFI. If the SFI business gateways are the only ones coming up, then you might consider going with an ECA gateway, a shopping gateway or a pricebender gateway. (Remember that there are more than one way to earn with SFI)

2. If the TE site has a top surfer bar, then note what the high numbers are. If some of the spots have 0 hits or less than 100 then it is either early in the day or it's telling you that there are few surfers on that TE site. If the spots are all in the high hundreds or even in the thousands then you might be concerned that the really big numbers could represent robot-clickers or power-surfers and neither of those will help you much.

3 Take full advantage of the promotions. Watch for the emails and copy/past the surf codes to get the special deals. Look on the TE site's home page for surf codes.

4 MAKE NOTES. Look in the 'surf rewards' to know how many clicks you need to do to get the reward you want. The highest numbers are often not the best value. Click to the number you've previously decided on and then move on to another TE site.

Happy surfing and I hope I've been helpful

The concept of traffic exchanges is simple. You have to view other marketers ads to have your ads seen. It's a give and take. Most exchanges require that you surf so many pages to have your ads in constant rotation. Again, this is a give and take. Most marketers don't realize that they get more than what they give when they use effective landing pages and spend the time necessary to rank in the search results.

Over the years, search engines change how they evaluate data to index pages which will allow them to get more organic traffic from them. Despite, these changes basic concepts like link popularity, content relevance, stickability, alt tags, meta tags, and all the rest still play into the equation of traffic to your SFI gateways. Bottomline, if you place your gateways on high ranking exchanges and maximize hits on those exchanges your gateways will get more relevance in the search results and more potential sign ups.

Armed with the knowledge of how the traffic exchanges work, one can drive high traffic by using a plethora of high quality sites. Then tracking serves to show which exchanges yield PSAs not hits. The quality of the PSAs will vary but a star PSA can just as easily come from a free source as a paid source. The difference is in the volume of hits and PSAs acquired when you compare free and paid ads. So I use traffic exchanges to get traffic, search engine ranking, and PSAs. The most important factor is getting PSAs when it comes to any source of advertising.

Traffic exchanges are a great way to get lot's of free hit's to your gateways. But the thing is, the folks who are seeing your gateways are seeing the same websites over and over. What you must do is be creative and create a page/website that these folks have not seen before. Grab their attention! Show them something new and exciting. Give them a reason to stop and take notice of your page/website. Tell them why they should click your link and sign up. Let them know you will be there every step of their journey to a successful home business.

When I say 'Grab their attention!' I don't mean with lot's of graphics, java and/or music. I mean with words. Throw something in their face that is memorable. Give them a 'Click Here To Open In A New Window' link. Use hit tracking provided by SFI to see what exchanges are working.

When you have your page/website ready then you should join a traffic exchange. Read all the information given at the traffic exchange before signing up. Some will exchange 1 view of your page/website for you viewing someone else's website. There are others who exchange 2 for 1, always look for the best deal. Log in to your account and add your page/website to the rotation and start surfing. The more websites you view, the more hit's you receive to your page/website.

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. When you join the site, you’re going to view other site members’ web pages in exchange for having your SFI web page viewed. 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.

When deciding which traffic exchange sites to join, consider the following important features:

- Credit ratio

Traffic exchanges offer members to earn credits in exchange for viewing other members’ web pages. Choose one that provides a good return on the number of credits you receive of each page you view.

- Time Limits

When viewing to earn credits, most traffic exchanges require you to spend a minimum time of viewing before getting a credit. Typically between 10 and 30 seconds.

- Anti Cheat Mechanisms

Most traffic exchanges are equipped with anti cheating mechanisms to ensure that a real person is viewing your web page. Choose a site with this feature to ensure that our credits are not wasted on cheaters who never view/read your web page.

- Referrals

Most traffic exchanges have referral pages and banners for you to recruit your downline. Every sign ups through these special features are placed in your downline. Referrals has the advantage of being the fastest way to build up your credits.

- Bonuses

Traffic exchanges may offer bonus credits for signing up or for surfing a certain number of web pages or for winning competitions or sweepstakes. Look for this feature when signing up to accumulate credits even faster.

- Paid or Pro memberships

Most traffic exchanges offer paid as well as free memberships. Paid memberships earns you privileges such as allocation of credits every month plus an increased number of credits for you and your downline. Furthermore you can opt to purchase extra credits.

To effectively use traffic exchanges remember to:

- Employ tracking.

It is important that you track all traffic generated by traffic exchanges so that you can identify which of your SFI gateways is top performer. Tracking is a powerful tool in analyzing your marketing efforts.

- Be aware of your audience.

In traffic exchanges every member are interested in having his/her own web page viewed. All site members want to drive traffic to their web pages. Most likely the majority of the site members will just use common affiliate materials for their traffic exchange. If you want to be effective, be creative, designed eye-catching pages to attract your viewers and take action.

The bottom line is that you need traffic, real people to actually take action on your SFI gateways by signing up; therefore the manual traffic exchange is the preferred method. The auto traffic exchange method leave out the people factor.

Thanks for this question.

1. What are Traffic Exchange Websites?

Traffic exchange sites are those in which you visit other people’s sites and they visits yours. Examples are Traffic Center and EasyHits4U.

2. How do they work?

- You sign up on these sites. Then you are asked to open a few sites(by entering some captcha) for some time(15 to 30 seconds) and then visit another. This process continues until you close the tab or window.

- Just like you open the sites, the other people open your site and you get hundreds of visitors. The main thing is, the more websites you open, the more traffic you get.

No doubt, you will get any number of visitors to your site. But, will you get strong and active down lines through these visitors? My experience proves it to be a big " NO! Not at all!!"

Reasons:

1. The visits are not genuine.
2. Most of the users use bots for these sites;
3. Increased bounce rates;
4. The users of these traffic exchanging sites visit multiple sites in a single session. They do not care to visit your site since they are concerned more with visitors to their site with the Traffic Exchange.
5. These kind of web sites are nothing but waste of time;

Conclusion:

Then, what should be done to have increased Traffic?

1. Leave these sites and try to optimize your sites for search engines,
2. Write quality articles on your site;
3. You will not only get more visits than these traffic exchanging sites, but you will get genuine visits.
4. That's said, please use social media like Face Book, Twitter, etc. - Create a Group - Place a
Link to your Blog-Blog should say everything about SFI in an attracting manner - Provide your
JMY Gateway at the right place in your Blog and lead the visitor towards it.
5. I am sure, you will have a good, quality sign up regularly.

Thank you for the question.

The first thing I do is decide which SFI Gateways I want to use.
I normally setup a excel spread sheet to keep track of which gateways, with which tracking code I am using at which traffic exchanges.

So for the first gateway at a specific traffic exchange I might use 101, the second gateway at the same traffic exchange might be 102.

The next traffic exchange for the first gateway might be 201, and the second gateway at that traffic exchange will be 202.

I will then build up as many credits as possible at all traffic exchanges and then I will monitor my Hit Tracker.

If I see I am getting the most hit from 101, for instance, then I know which traffic exchange with which gateway is giving me the most hits. It makes sense then to focus more effort on using that specific gateway at that specific traffic exchange to get the most hits.

The Hit Tracker resets every Saturday night, so be sure to check your results before it resets for the week.

Please remember the only constant is change, so you will need to re-do the exercise again in a month or two. The best traffic exchange today, might be the worst in a few weeks.

Try to keep your system simple enough for you to understand and get the desired results.
Remember: "If it is to be, it is up to me".
