Traffic Exchanges

Traffic exchanges are good for getting traffic to your site, but you should remember that most of the time this traffic is untargeted, meaning 99%+ of those visitors you receive from traffic exchanges will not be interested in your site or products. There are literally thousands of different traffic exchanges out there, but most involve some work on your part, such as manually clicking on ads, or watching an auto-rotator of ads, in order to get other traffic exchange users to your site. You can avoid this by paying for x number of hits, but as you are paying for untargeted traffic I personally don't believe it's worth it.

In the past I've tried out several different traffic exchanges and have had limited results trying to promote affiliate products. However you shouldn't rule them out completely.

I have found them to be excellent for promoting squeeze pages, which are simply pages designed with the sole purpose of capturing the visitor's name and email address. Offer a free report or bonus products to encourage them to sign up to your list. Once they have subscribed you can start to build a relationship with them, earn their trust, and promote your products in due course over a series of email messages, and earn money this way.

If you're looking at building a list of subscribers then traffic exchanges can be very effective for this. Also they are quite effective if you are looking to build a downline for example, or you are promoting products on how to get traffic, because the other users using these exchanges are most likely interested in this very subject.

The exchange I've had the best results with in this regard is Traffic Swarm, but I also use several other exchanges, such as TS25, Webbizinsider, Fast Freeway, Trafficpods, and Hitpulse, and cross-promote to try and build a downline of referrals in each one.

If you haven't already done so I recommend signing up to my newsletter (from the homepage) where you will receive the 'Amazing Traffic Formula' which offers some excellent information on getting the most out of traffic exchanges.

As with any method of promotion, use ad tracking software to track the effectiveness of any given ad, and stick with those that are producing good results.
