Traffic Exchange Programs - Are they worth your time?

Written by Martin Thomassen


Maybe you knowrepparttar feeling. Sometimes I have been sitting in front of my pc for some hours. Third cup of coffee, all emails read and responded, checked all my stats; What to do now? Write an article? Send an ad? Read some more on a subject I could work a bit on? No! Not now! I'll just play a little game of solitaire! Happens to all of us, doesn't it?

You could just open a game and start playing, but you could do as I do! I open a multi window browser, start a few traffic exchange programs, one of them with a solitaire game (while surfing) and start gaining credits so my pages will be displayed in those programs as well.

What I am doing is using pay per click (they pay with credit points) programs to be able to promote my sites and offers. You have to keeprepparttar 124597 page you are viewing active for 20 or 30 seconds and can go on torepparttar 124598 next page. Most programs have a 2:1 or 3:2 conversion rate, meaning that for each 1 1/2 or 2 pages you see from other members, you may show yours 1 time. Pay per click, banner exchanges and impressions, start page programs, there are a lot of ways you can promote your site and/or offers.

Personally I really like these exchanges. I see other websites and in addition to earning free traffic, I get ideas for my website, I find all kinds of free stuff, I see allrepparttar 124599 latest offers and sometimes I find a program that I really like and join. And as I said before, I play a game of solitaire while surfing for hits.

You are doing your things, doing business, chatting or who knows what you are doing. And atrepparttar 124600 same time you have some traffic exchanges programs running. People like to know some SECRETS, here is one: most people do not really want to surf for hits. I did not, most likely you don't either, BUT people who really surf (if even only 1 hour daily) are greatly rewarded. I receive several times a week 50 or 250 free hits from trafficswarm, 200 free banner displays from one ofrepparttar 124601 other), 200 from webbizinsiders etc. etc.

As a lot of people are lazy, when they have some money, they buy. The traffic exchange programs have to reward people who actually surf and they do! If I would have to pay allrepparttar 124602 free traffic I get with surfing one hour a day, I would have to pay about 15 dollars a day. Not much, but remember, I run these programs with a multi page browser, I play my games and atrepparttar 124603 same time I do my things onrepparttar 124604 internet! Do not underestimate this! When you are starting, this can be one ofrepparttar 124605 biggest resources you can find!

How to use traffic exchanges Join some programs, submit your url's and start surfing. It's that easy. Most programs offer a starting bonus, so you start with some credits. Some programs give you credits when you use them as your start page, each time you open your browser, you get credit points. Most programs let you introduce more than 1 url and let you choose from categories where you want to surf and where you want to display your url's.

There are people who join autosurf programs. You startrepparttar 124606 program, it surfs pages and you can go watch tv or play withrepparttar 124607 kids. I do not like this. It's cheating andrepparttar 124608 other people using these programs do not look at your site either, so why do it at all? Well, maybe these people just do it to increase their traffic stats and rankings. I could imagine that. Some of these programs give you 2,000 or more credits just to join them and that is a nice (temporary) boost ofrepparttar 124609 traffic to your site. Nobody looks at it, but you got your traffic.

You can use a multiple windows browser. Now this is one I like. It's not cheating (I think) because you actually have to click throughrepparttar 124610 windows, but you only do it more effectively. When something grabs your attention, you will still read it or at least take a look at it. This way you increase your credits about tenfold. Atrepparttar 124611 same time I am playing solitaire in one of these programs, Topsurfer, to giverepparttar 124612 programs time to load their pages. Topsurfer offers bribes as well. Members offer up to 1,000 or more credits if you sign up with other programs. I accepted some bribes and found some interesting programs atrepparttar 124613 same time. You can play games, surf for money, surf for banner impressions etc. and most programs offer something interesting. An other example of a program offering something extra would berepparttar 124614 Greenlist, which is a safelist, with traffic exchange and a free autoresponder.
