This morning I joined a traffic exchange network. You are probably familiar with traffic exchange networks. You logon to a traffic exchange network and earn credits by using their application to view
web sites of other members of
traffic exchange. You trade
credits for visits to your web site by other members.
You are required to view
other members web page for a specific time, usually 30 seconds, then you have to click on a button to view
next web page. This is a useful way to earn traffic to your web site.
The power of using traffic exchange networks can be increased if you are a member of one or more banner exchanges. By placing banners on
page that you submit to
traffic exchange, you can earn banner exchange credits and traffic at
same time.
I have been warning visitors to bucarotechelp.com that traffic exchange applications that do not maximize
browser window are useless because, by making
browser windows small enough to expose only
"Next Site" button, users run four or more of these applications simultaneously. Nobody actually sees your web page.
I have also been warning that traffic exchange applications that have a timer less than 30 seconds are useless because most people access
web via a 56K dialup connection. Unless
web page that you submit to
traffic exchange can load before
time expires, nobody actually sees your web page.
But
traffic exchange that I joined this morning does not require you to click. This traffic exchange application advances pages automatically. This is of critical importance because
user now does not even have to be in
same room as
computer that is logged on and earning credits.
This is time bomb ticking for
Internet. You may be using a quality traffic exchange that maximizes
browser window, has a 30 second timer, and requires you to click. But what if that traffic exchange, in order to meet its commitments, is purchasing traffic from a no-click exchange? You are then exchanging your high quality clicks for useless hits.
