Traffic Exchanges

  Traffic Exchanges are websites where you can get views of your website or squeeze page in exchange for you viewing other members sites. You earn credits for viewing pages (the amount varies from exchange to exchange) and your credits are redeemed for page views, banner impressions, text links, etc.... Each exchange determines the amount of websites, banners, downline builders, safelists, and list builders you can promote. Most traffic exchanges offer two types of memberships: paid or upgraded, and free. Paid members receive incentives for upgrading like: reduced surf ratio, reduced surf timer, free monthly credits, increased amount of sites, banners, etc.. they can promote, and more. Most exchanges also give commissions or rewards for referring new members. Referring new members can greatly increase your traffic because you earn credits from them as well. Which results in more traffic for you.

  There are plenty of traffic exchanges to choose from. And yes, some are better than others. Each traffic exchange has its own surf ratio (ex. 3:1, 2:1, etc..), and surf timer (7 seconds, 10 seconds, etc..). These ratios determine how many sites you must view for each credit, and for how long you must view each page.

  Most traffic exchanges offer rewards for viewing certain numbers of pages (ex. prize for every 15, 30,100 page views). Prizes can include bonus credits, banner impressions, text links, or actual cash money. Each site determines its own prizes and requirements. Often multiple exchanges will join together and offer a 2-5 way traffic exchange promo. Which means that if you surf at any of the participating exchanges you qualify for the prizes. These type of promos often offer much bigger prizes than individual site promos.

  I also like to use a piece of software called TE Browser. It's free software that allows you to be able to surf 1-10 different traffic exchanges at the same time. This can exponentially increase your productivity, thus dramatically increasing your website traffic. There are other programs available that do the same thing as TE Browser (search traffic browsers at google for others) I just prefer TE Browser.

  Traffic exchanges can be a great way to generate website traffic to your website, squeeze page, affiliate programs, list building giveaways, etc... I recommend joining at least one if not more than one traffic exchange to get a massive increase of free website traffic. Take a look at The Ultimate Online Affiliates Guide at http://www.onlineaffiliates.netai.net/  for a list of many different traffic exchanges. Along with a bunch of other free traffic generating tools.

  Many traffic exchanges have their own blogs that you can check out to keep up to date on promos, changes, one time offers, etc... Many traffic exchanges will also send you member emails regularly to keep you informed.
