Squeeze some extra traffic to your websites using traffic exchangers
Do you know what is a traffic exchanger? From the name of this term, roughly you can know that it is a place that allows you to generate and exchange traffic with other people. This brief explanation is what traffic exchanger are all about. Some experts may shy away from traffic exchanger as the concept of it is rather unorthodox. However, they are here to stay and there are even reputable traffic exchanger websites around which you can make use of them to gather extra traffic to your websites.
Maybe you have heard of auto surfs or manual surfs. Yes, these are two main categories of traffic exchanger. Most of the well-established traffic exchanger are based on the manual surf model where you need to click to earn and exchange traffic while the auto surf models let websites run on its own but have earned a really bad name in recent years due to some high profile calamities resulting in a lot of losses for members who join them.
Let say you are running a promotion and you have set up a squeeze page, you need to get this page noticed by as many people as possible. So advertize your squeeze page at various traffic exchangers arounds. From what I have experienced, you may really get some surprised sign ups. One thing to note is that do not ever promote your full sales page there, yea, you can try to do that but my experience of it is not really positive. To make it better, maybe you can offer a really good free ebook report for your traffic exchanger visitors as a lead bait.
The second tip to use traffic exchangers effectively is to widen your net as wide as possible. There are tons of traffic exchangers around, so go and pick some good ones like TrafficSwarm, TS25 for example, and commit some time to it. Note that these are manual models and you will have to click on the navigational menu to earn traffic. Usually the basic service is free but you need to click more websites in order to gain traffic to your own websites. So the ratio could be 3:1 for free members while 1:1 for paid members.
The last tip to productively us traffic exchangers is to refer more people to join under you because this will gain you extra free credits and each referred member who surfs also earns you some extra credits. The system here is like a multi tiered affiliate models except the rewards here are traffic credits, not money. So do promote traffic exchangers actively to maximize its potentials.
Lastly one important point to note is that, if your site has Google Adsense, DO NOT ADVERTIZE it at traffic exchangers as Google view it as a violation to their terms.
I wish you well in your internet adventures. Lets create traffic waves!
