Using Traffic Exchanges

If you are new to traffic exchanges, have a look at my article on Using Traffic Exchanges to find out how they work.

Currently I am using three different traffic exchanges to promote my web sites. Each of these are very different and can be fun to use. To sign up for any of these traffic exchanges for free, just click on the links below:

Traffic Swarm - This is different from any other traffic exchange that I know, because you actually have control over which webpages you view. You only need to look at pages in the categories that you are actually interested in. This means that the visitors to your website are also more targetted. You get 1 credit everytime you open your browser with your traffic swarm page as the start page and anything between 1-5 credits (+ bonuses of up to 1000 credits) for clicking on a link to a webpage and viewing it for 20 seconds. Another unique feature is that you can have a link box (like the one at the bottom of this page) on your website displaying other members links. In return for this your own links can be displayed on other websites all over the world.

Traffic Syndicate 25 - What makes this exchange unique is the Syndicate concept. As a free member you start out in the "Syndicate Pool" where you can surf for credits. Throughout the week the top surfers from the syndicate pool are chosen to form a syndicate in the "Syndacate Downline". At this point things get more interesting. At the end of the week you earn credits from all the syndicates below you and the syndicates are then re-arranged so that the top earners are higher up in the syndicate downline. This gives you the opportunity to have a downline with as many as 2500 people in it!

Fast Freeway - This traffic exchange is often at the top of the traffic exchange charts. I earn most of my credits from this exchange through my downline. I earn 20% of all the credits earned by my downline up to 4 levels deep, plus every time I recruit a new member who becomes active I also get 1000 banner impressions (or 70 website hits)

There are hundreds of traffic exchanges out there, so how do you know which ones are the best?

I use a report from a company called Traffic Hoopla to decide which traffic exchanges to sign up with. This report is updated weekly with the top 50 traffic exchanges and the top 10 new traffic exchanges. You can find out from this report who delivers the highest unique percentage of visitors and who will deliver traffic to your website in a timely manner. Armed with this information you can sign up for only the best traffic exchanges and get the biggest reward for your efforts.

You can also sign up for a free account with Traffic Hoopla and use this as a method of building your own traffic exchange downline. I have found that advertising my Traffic Hoopla page on other traffic exchanges is a great way of increasing my downlines, as the people using traffic exchanges will generally be interested in knowing what the top traffic exchanges are. This leads to both signups for Traffic Hoopla itself and signups for the top traffic exchanges in the list, which is updated weekly. After less than one month of building my downlines using Traffic Hoopla I had a downline of 20 in Traffic Hoopla, a downline of 47 in Fast Freeway (the #1 exchange at the time of promotion) and a combined total of 57 in all the other traffic exchanges!

That's over 100 people surfing for me after just one month!

To build up credits faster in the traffic exchanges it's worth surfing on at least 5 of them at the same time. The easiest way to do this is by using a tabbed browser such as Firefox. Just open Firefox and click on -T to open a new tab, then go to the surfing page for one of the traffic exchanges. Repeat this process until you have at least 5 tabs open then go back and forth between each tab earning credits as you go.

When you are advertising in traffic exchanges it isn't normally very effective to advertise the home page of your website or a long sales page. People who are surfing exchanges are only interested in one thing - earning credits. The best way to get them interested is to use a short splash page and capture their email address. The Home Income Team is a tool that allows you to build your downline in all the traffic exchanges and provides you with lots of splash pages and a lead capture system to help you advertise.
