A 'Traffic Exchange' is extremely simply a place on the internet where you can go and just do that, exchange traffic along with other traffic exchange users. It's a basic agreement between your users of traffic exchanges which says 'If I review your website, you look at mine.
The Traffic Exchange owners, which there are lots of, have allowed the automation and regulating this basic agreement between 'surfers'.
There are lots of ways in which you can learn about traffic exchanges and how to rely on them successfully and effectively. In my own experience, it's been to jump in and start using them, you quickly pick up an understanding of each exchange and how it really works, along with this are the emails which are sent out to you by each traffic exchange owner. These emails may initially seem a little pointless, but, should you actually take the time to read them, there's a deep mine of knowledge within them.
I'll now go into a few tips and concepts how better to get results from traffic exchanges.
1. Whichever traffic exchange you utilize, don't market your 'affiliate link', always use a squeeze or splash page. If you are not sure what one of these is, then make it your company to discover! However, in essence a landing page contains a 'strong or grabbing headline', it lists several benefits, it contains a 'call to action' and it is generally great looking. Bear in mind, most traffic exchange users exist to obtain traffic to their web pages, your squeeze page must grab their attention, effectively halting their surf, and getting these to carry out the action you've called for. This must be something that can generally be carried out seconds. Lets get this absolutely straight people WILL NOT stop and read an entire affiliate sign up page, you're costing you time if you feel they are going to!
2. Participate in each traffic exchange. On start looking, many traffic exchanges seem very similar, but, whenever you take the time to study each one and get 'under the bonnet' of each, it will be is more than simply the pleasing graphics and catchy surf bars which are different. Each successful traffic exchange has something opting for it that is a little unique and various. You will also begin to notice that various traffic exchanges work in teams. Actually, the whole traffic exchange community is extremely close knit, the owners of every exchange use one another, support one another and therefore grow each other. A few of the unique things you will find are the downline builder at Visit Maniac (owned by Sean Supplee), The competitions run by Traffic Bunnies, of Cindy Battye, The rewards for surfing 50 pages in five days from 7 at Advertising Know How, of Robert Puddy. Take the time to become familiar with each exchange and it's unique benefits, it can help you get better results and even refer people to them, which will result in additional traffic for you personally!
3. I have learned this from Soren Jordansen of Dagon Surf. DON'T dilute your surfing efforts by surfing too many exchanges at once. Ideally you need to focus on Five to six traffic exchanges to surf at once. The way you choose which to use would probably be dictated by 'what's hot' and 'what's not'. There are many resources online to enable you to gather information about this but, you'll find by working on your participation with each exchange, it will become obvious which of them you ought to be focusing on. Personally I look for things like the 'Super Surf' option with 5 participating exchanges proclaiming to offer you a 10% increase in credits, or, where through participation, you've got an 'upgraded membership' which supports you get a better surf ratio, perhaps 1:1 instead of the usual 2 or 3:1.
4. Browse the forums. one very useful forum for me personally has been the web marketing forum. This forum is moderated by Jon Olsen, owner of I Love Hits. This specific forum is where many of the bigger traffic exchange owners 'hang out' and discuss. Personally I met Sean Supplee here and managed to strike up an excellent relationship, that is proving very fruitful, I had been also able to find out about the launch of Traffic Gold Rush, among the newest exchanges, but, which registered 2300 users in under 48 hours, not bad!
5. Develop a surfing Regime. Based on your results and data, develop a surfing strategy optimised for results not to mention, fun! It truly must be fun because clicking for an hour or so a day can start to become little tedious. By participating, building your knowledge of traffic exchanges and using the best pages within them, it may be extremely satisfying and exciting to say the least.
Lastly, and really this is important, set your goals, have confidence in yourself and fine tune as you go, it's a fun, exciting and fascinated journey which will reward you greatly!
