* Paid/Pro Memberships – most traffic exchanges offer paid memberships as well as free memberships. Normally a paid membership earns you privileges such as an allocation of credits per month plus an increased number of credits for your own surfing andrepparttar surfing of your downline. Most exchanges also allow you to purchase extra credits. I don’t recommend going for a paid membership or buying credits until you have tried outrepparttar 120205 traffic exchange for free first.

A quick search on Google, usingrepparttar 120206 keywords “traffic exchange” will reveal almost 200,000 results, including hundreds of differently themed traffic exchange websites. Within minutes you can sign up for an account, submit your URL and start surfing for credits. Easy? Yes, but how do you know if this traffic exchange will give you results? How do you choose betweenrepparttar 120207 hundreds of different traffic exchanges?

I use a report from a company called Traffic Hoopla to decide which traffic exchanges to sign up with. This report is updated weekly withrepparttar 120208 top 50 traffic exchanges andrepparttar 120209 top 10 new traffic exchanges. You can find out from this report who deliversrepparttar 120210 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 onlyrepparttar 120211 best traffic exchanges and getrepparttar 120212 biggest reward for your efforts.

Once you have signed up for some ofrepparttar 120213 top traffic exchanges, you now need to earn some credits. There are three ways to do this:

(1)Personally surf for credits (2)Purchase Credits (3)Build a downline

Inrepparttar 120214 beginning you may want to set aside a few hours each week to personally surf for some credits – in fact some traffic exchanges require you to surf a certain number of sites to activate your account.

However,repparttar 120215 best way to be successful with traffic exchanges is to build your own downline. This way you can keeprepparttar 120216 credits flowing in by letting your downline do allrepparttar 120217 clicking for you. You can do this by usingrepparttar 120218 referral web pages of each ofrepparttar 120219 traffic exchanges that you have signed up with or you can sign up with Traffic Hoopla and advertiserepparttar 120220 50 best traffic exchanges in one go. I choserepparttar 120221 latter method and after signing up forrepparttar 120222 top 10 traffic exchanges I had over 60 people signed up under me inrepparttar 120223 various programs afterrepparttar 120224 first week. I can’t quite put my feet up and stop surfing yet, but every week I can spend less time clicking on traffic exchanges and more time deciding how to use all my credits.
