Question & Answers about Traffic Exchanges
|
| Why do Webmasters Need to Join Traffic Exchanges? |
| Any webmaster or for that
matter any owner of a website will want their site seen and visited
by as many people as possible in order to maximize greatest benefit
from their site.
There's absolutely no point building or paying for the construction
of a wonderful website if no one comes to visit - it's that simple.
Additionally if you don't have a website of your own but instead,
are an affiliate, then you will want to promote your affiliate
website to as many individuals as can be found at any single
location - enter the Traffic Exchange! |
| OK - but where do Traffic Exchanges fit into the overall scheme of things online? |
| Traffic Exchanges offer an
opportunity for your site to be visited by lots of fresh eyes. If
you have a product or service to sell then the benefits are obvious. |
| Exactly what does FREE to join mean? |
| FREE to join means that you are permitted access to an online
platform that someone else is managing and paying for in order
to promote a limited number of websites you wish to list. |
| Does FREE to JOIN also mean that I don't have to do more than join in order to get my sites promoted? |
|
FREE to join does not mean that all you do is add
your sites and expect them to be continually advertised. FREE
joiners like any other form of membership requires that you surf a
Traffic Exchange in order to build credits that will allow your
sites to be kept in a rotation cycle i.e. always visible. When you
upgrade you usually receive monthly credits that reduces the number
of times you need to surf each month, depending on how many sites
you have listed and how often you would like them shown. |
| But do surfers at Traffic Exchanges actually buy anything, aren't they simply clicking to gain credits in order to ensure that their sites are seen? |
| They do both. What must be
appreciated is that surfers are people looking for the same kinds of
things we all are such as freebies, products, services that will
ultimately benefit themselves. If you have a product or offer a
service people want then making it as visible to as many people as
possible won't do your business any harm and is more likely to do it
a lot of good! |
| How much do Traffic Exchanges cost to join? |
| Most are FREE. |
| How do Traffic Exchanges make money? |
| You will discover that they all have different levels of
membership and that each level attracts different limitations such
as only being allowed to promote up to 3 websites as a FREE member
and as many as 25 at the next level. |
| Aren't Traffic Exchanges limited by the number of members they have? |
| If one individual from a
Traffic Exchange purchases one of your products/services you would be
delighted - not only because you made a sale, but because joining
the majority of Traffic Exchanges is free. Think about it - someone
else has set-up a place where you can advertise, they take on all
the costs all the maintenance, all you do is place text with a link
and surf yourself in order that your site gets seen. |
| Is it OK to join more than one Traffic Exchange? |
| Webmasters and or web owners
should join as many Traffic Exchanges as they can possibly fit into
their routine if they really want to grab some online visibility.
That's why on our
traffic exchanges page we suggest that you
join all those displayed. |
| Doesn't that mean I would need to put in a lot of effort a month to maintain steady promotions? |
| Yes it does, but then it really depends on what it is that you
want to do? If you want to become an online promoter, retailer or
some form of service provider then you'll make the effort to join as
man TEs as you possibly can and thereby receive a lot of online
attention in return. |
| This sounds more like hard work than I thought? |
| You need to decide whether your financial independence is worth
the effort or whether you really want to keep your day job? |
| Which is BEST? |
| This really depends on what
it is you are hoping to achieve and how you want to go about it.
Many Traffic Exchanges offer games to increase the number of credits
you can earn while surfing. This incentive can prove fun and makes
surfing more enjoyable. Take a look at
HitMagik
if you enjoy playing hangman, it really does work well
with surfing and you receive bonus credits if you win the game. OK
so someone is bound to suggest that these distractions are simply a
ploy designed to hook surfers. I won't disagree, but it makes work -
and let's be straight about this, surfing is work (21st century
work) but work nonetheless, and games make work more fun. However if
all you're interested in surfing without distraction try
CheetahTraffic
which you will find fast - 10 second timer and without
distraction. If you're interested in innovative methods of accumulating cash or credits then Traffic Meet is highly recommended. Join as many of the alternatives offered and you will earn all the while you leave your computer running. If you like to enjoy regular bonus credits as your surf then Traffic Meet , Traffic Tribe, TS25, Traffic Era or Traffic Splash are all generous. At weekends use
Global
Hits,
Blue Surf,
Soaring4Traffic,
Traffic Muscles
or
eTrafficFreedom |
| Finding the right Traffic Exchange |
| This might sound easy but they're all
tweaked by the individuals who created them. The good thing is
that this makes them personal and you'll quickly discover that the
majority of Traffic Exchange owners/managers like to communicate
with their members. If an exchange of ideas is your kind of thing
feel free, as constructive criticism is welcome by most of them. Try any of these to
begin with:
Clicksmatrix,
DragonSurf or
Soaring4Traffic.
Understand that there are lots of people running Traffic
Exchanges who will be only too willing to offer useful advice, the
sites mentioned above are just a few that I have found particularly
helpful. The
Traffic Exchange platform has been around for a few years but only
recently have we started to see an increased variation on the common
TE theme. Plenty of Traffic Exchanges today offer games to play
while you surf, which includes a wide variety of surfing browsers -
a good example of this is
Top Surfer which offers several types of surfing browser
that allow different games such as bingo or solitaire, a surf and
chat browser, and even an a payments browser whereby you can earn
cash as well as credits.
Top Surfer has been around a long time and as a result has a
large membership and dozens of ways for members to earn cash or
credits. However members, including FREE members are expected to
surf at least fifty sites a week to keep their membership active -
and that doesn't include any auto-surf credits that you might earn. |
| How long will I be expected to review each site when surfing? |
| Many Traffic Exchanges now
offer a wide range of timescales to surf sites ranging from under 10
seconds up to 40 seconds. At weekends some TEs offer even faster
surf times. |
| What about Auto instead of Manual Traffic Exchanges? |
| Both offer a mechanism by which you will be able to promote your
website however, in my experience manual TEs offer more opportunity
to have a website studied than an auto TE simply because whilst the
auto surfer is running you're less likely to have your attention
100% on the screen. That said auto surfing usually gets through many
more pages than a manual TE. Additionally it is easier to build up
credits on an auto exchange. What you really need to do is compare
them for yourself by joining an exchange that runs both for example
TopSurfer
or
Smiley Traffic
have both options available.
Whilst
Quiet Hits
is an auto-surf only experience. |
| Should I make the effort to promote the Traffic Exchange I join? |
| Yes, without doubt. You want the Traffic Exchange to grow and
develop almost as much as its owner does because by doing so there's
more chance that your promotions will be spotted by more people.
Additionally doing so will also allow you some benefits through building
a downline i.e. new members who join as a result of using the
link to the TE that you advertised improve your status at the TE in
that you receive cash or credits for their efforts. |
| What kind of benefits should I expect from a downline? |
| I'll arrive at the direct benefits a little later, first lets
look at the concept of building a downline. The notion that two
individuals can do more than one isn't really rocket science, but
that's exactly the idea behind building a downline. A downline is
one of those few times when you can actually interact with other
people anywhere in the world to achieve a single goal - in this
instance the promotion of a website. The more individuals that you
have supporting you the better your chances of promoting the website
to a larger audience thereby benefitting not only the website but
yourself and those who have joined you. A downline is a community of
workers or entrepreneurs actively seeking to attain the same goal.
Joining a Traffic Exchange is no longer something an individual does
simply because they've nothing better to do. The Traffic Exchange is
coming into its own right as a credible advertising platform that
can literally reach millions. It eliminates country boundaries or
the need for an interpreter - everyone should know why they're in a
Traffic Exchange - if the name doesn't give it away then a few
minutes spent looking around will soon make things clear. Considered as an international enterprise utilising the efforts of a global community, a TE is ultimately a partnership. For example I live in Northern Ireland and have ten members in my downline at Traffic Meet. Three are from the UK, two are from India, two from the United States one from Australia, one from Malaysia and the last is from France. How international is that! Taking the partnership theory a stage further is why many of the Traffic Exchange owners prompt their members to interact with anyone in a downline. The more you do so the more likely it is that you will become more actively involved in achieving your aim of promoting a website. The benefits then will usually include rewards from the TE such as additional credits and sometimes even cash. Should that downline member then prove to be active, surfing and getting their own referrals you will benefit further and expect to receive regular credits as a result. If anyone in your downline upgrades you will receive a % of the amount they were charged to upgrade. So if you haven't figured it out yet the two things you need to expend effort after joining a Traffic Exchange is surf and building a downline by ensuring that your referral link is everywhere that you can find to place it online. |
