4. Traffic Exchanges offer a great free way of promoting
your business. They should be included in your
advertising arsenal but make sure that you leverage your
time effectively and you don't surf for hours for those
advertising credits. Try to find a traffic exchange
program that will not hinder your normal surfing
behavior, while advertising your business, and you will
be one of the few people who maximize their time and
effort with this free marketing tool.
5. Some traffic exchange services will make your surfing
experience a bit more complex, since you would have to
wait for a timer to expire in order to be awarded credits,
and while that timer counts down you are forced to view
another person's website from the network.
6. Some of these measures were taken by the traffic
exchange programs in an effort to minimize or eliminate
cheating, as some users have created ways to cheat the
system by using software programs that auto surf and
earn them credits.
9. The less departure from the normal surfing experience,
the more the webmaster will be willing to use that
traffic exchange program. Also, the less you force a user
to view your website, the more targeted they will be for
that product or service. For example, someone who
reads a headline in a traffic exchange and clicks on it to
view the website is more targeted than someone who
views it because they are forced to wait for a timer to
expire.
10. Now that you have an overview of what traffic exchange
programs are, and how they work, lets have a look at
their main benefits:
11. 1. You can recruit affiliates to gain more exposure to
your site
12. 2. You can build a list to market your products to
24. To capture these names and add them to your email list
have a page designed to give out a freebie or a 5 part e-
course in exchange for an email address. You can then
follow up with these leads and sell them more stuff in
the future.
25. If you have your own product and affiliate program, you
can recruit affiliates to sell your products for a
commission. The more people selling your products, the
more passive income you will make.
26. In conclusion, Traffic Exchange programs are services
that are used by webmasters to attract more traffic and
to obtain more exposure for their business.
27. There are different types of traffic exchange programs.
Many will let you surf the Internet as you normally
would but require that you set your browser's start page
to their default advertising page. Then, every time your
browser loads one of their pages you earn advertising
credits. You can also get credits for clicking on links of
other members in the network. The credits you earn can
be used in exchange for visitors to your site.
28. Don't limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about
traffic. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus
on what's important.
