Most traffic exchanges are free to join and they are great sites to advertise your affiliate programs' websites if you are on a shoe-string budget.
 
Many successful Internet marketers use free traffic exchanges to build
up profitable businesses. Their only investments are their TIME and
COMMITMENT.
 
 
To follow their paths, you need to be consistent and persistent and very passionate in your quest for success.  
 
The concept is simple. In a traffic exchange site, you surf for credits by
visiting other people's websites. In exchange for credits other people
will visit your website(s).
 
 
However, there are two disadvantages of traffic exchanges:
 
Surfing for credits takes up a lot of your time.
 
You need to plan your surfing schedule so that it does not distract you away from other equally important tasks of running your online business.
 
You may want to upgrade  to a paid account and get better privileges such as more free credits and  priority positioning of your ads if you find the system is working fine for you.
 
The people who click on your ads are very often not interested in
   your product or service.
 
They are there surfing for credits just like you. So your traffic is less targeted than with pay-per-click, paid classified ads or other services where you buy targeted traffic.
 
Nevertheless, traffic exchanges are a great way to get free advertising. You still get free traffic and if you're consistent and persistent you’re likely to get some conversions out of it. 
 
 
 
 
There are thousands of traffic exchanges in the Internet but basic there are two types of programs.
  • Start Page program where you set your homepage in your browser to start with the traffic exchange program. This opens automatically to a member's website or a list of website.
  • Click Exchange program where you go to the exchange program's website and login to your account to surf for credits.
 
You earn credits by remaining on a member's site for 0-30 seconds depending on the program. A built-in timer let you know when you have earned a credit.
 
You then click to the next site to continue earning credits. If you click too fast you do not earned any credit.
 
Free members usually start with a surf ratio of 3:1 while upgraded members get higher levels.
 
You can also purchase credits if you do not want to spend the time surfing to earn free credits.
 
You can upgrade your account to a paid membership and enjoy extra free credits and other benefits.
 
The best way to earn lots of free credits in these exchange programs is to referothers to the program and build a downline.
 
 
 
12    Things To Consider Before You Start On Your Traffic 
            Exchange Programs.
 

1. Read The Terms and Conditions

Before you sign up, you must first read and understand the terms and
conditions, the policy and the FAQs of the traffic exchanges of your choice.
 
Some exchanges allow only one account for one user or for one home
address. You do not want to break any rules or you will be booted out.
 
You cannot use any automated robots, scripts, emulators, auto-clickers,
and various other tools to surf for credits and most programs have ways to catch those who break the rules. So be aware of fraud tests, skill-cards or question-and-answer tests etc. that may pop up now and then to catch the cheaters. You will be penalized if you fail the tests. Some exchanges will reward you with extra credits for passing the tests.
 
 
2. Join Several Traffic Exchange Programs

You may need to join several traffic exchanges programs to maximize and to spread your website(s) promotion over the Internet.

You may want to visit the site first and watch how the exchange works.

Remember to watch for the same ad as your affiliate program and how often this ad is repeated.
 
If the exchange is saturated with the same ad or similar ads from the same affiliate program then you will have to find another traffic exchange. This usually happens when the affiliate program you joined recommends a particular traffic exchange and all the other affiliates use the same exchange.
 
3. Invest Your Time Wisely

The number of exchanges you join will depend on the amount of time you have each day to surf for credits. Remember, you have to go back to each program every day to surf for free credits.

You will need to spend at least 30 minutes for each program which means you will have to set aside one hour for two programs. Remember also that some traffic exchanges may delete your account if you are inactive for a certain period.

Sign up for the number of exchanges you are most comfortable with and make sure you do your part. You are investing your time to get free advertising.
 
4. Use Same Username and Password for Convenience
 
Most programs will need you to fill in a username and a password.  So,
choose a username and password that are unique and memorable to you.
 
You can use the same username and password for all these programs. Doing so will save you the problem of trying to remember different usernames and passwords and make it easier for you to log-in to your programs.
 
5. Create New E-Mail Address
 
You may want to create a new e-mail address so that e-mails and newsletters from these exchange programs will not jammed up your present  e-mail address that you have dedicated for your online business.
 
Some programs may send you an e-mail for confirmation and you will need to click onto the link provided to activate your account.
 
Others may require you to earn a certain amount of credits before you can post your website(s).
 

6. Get Your Referral Links Correct

Your primary objective is to promote or advertise your own website(s) or affiliate programs referral links in these traffic exchanges and to get people to watch your ads.
 
Your secondary objective is to build a downline in a particular traffic exchange program so as to get extra free credits.
 
You must always remember to post your URLs or referral links correctly. Test them out before you post them. The worst that can happen is that your website does not show when somebody clicks onto your link. Your entire advertising campaign is down the drain.
 
Here are some examples of the URLs or referral links for SFI
 
 
http://www.moreinfo247.com/XXXXXXXXX/FREE 
 
Note: Do NOT forget to replace  XXXXXXXXX with your own ID#.

IAHBE Program

http://www.moreinfo247.com/XXXXXXXXX/IAHBE 
 
Note: Do NOT forget to replace  XXXXXXXXX with your own ID#.
 
 
http://www.moreinfo247.com/XXXXXXXXX/CP

Note: Do NOT forget to replace  XXXXXXXXX with your own ID#.

 
7. Build Your Traffic Exchange Downline
The best way to earn lots of free credits in these exchange programs is to refer others to the program and build a downline.
 
To build your downline in these traffic exchange programs you must promote your traffic exchange referral links to other traffic exchanges. So, make absolutely certain which one is the referral URL and which one is the surfing URL. Always test your links. You don't want to refer people to sign up at the wrong place.
 

8. Use Splash Pages If Can

Use a splash page for your traffic exchanges because they load so much faster.
 
Avoid using a lot of Flash. They are pretty but take a lot of time to load and before you know it, the time is up and the viewer clicks on to the next site.
 
9. Use of Text Ads and Banners
 
For most programs you just have to insert your websites' URLs. Some programs may need you to write a text ad and some may allow you to use banners. So get them all ready and tested before you use them on your traffic exchange sites
 
10. Choose Your Targeted Audience

Some traffic exchange programs offer targeted traffic depending on which category you choose. Choose the category that best fits your target URL such as Business Opportunities, Business and Marketing, Work at Home, Affiliate Programs, MLM, Internet Marketing etc.

 
11. Organize Your Traffic Exchange Programs
 
You can bookmark your traffic exchange URLs or you may want to put
all your traffic exchange links into one favorite folder in your computer
so that you can remember to go through them one by one each time you surf for credits. You can also use a traffic referral builder pad where you have all your traffic exchange referral links on one builder pad website.
 
One good example is Traffic Tornado
 
You will find other traffic exchanges listed there. Check them out to see
whether they fit your needs.

12. Manage Your Time

With so many traffic exchanges to visit each day, the best strategy is to organize your time. Make a "to-do" list. Prioritize your important sites and consolidate your surfing time. Break them up into smaller segments so that you can do one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
 
Do not get distracted. Stay focus. You must surf for credits by visiting the traffic exchanges everyday. Use your favorite traffic exchanges folder or traffic builder pad website.
 
Earn some credits every day so that your ads will be shown. The more traffic you have visiting your sites, the more chances you have to get some conversions.

Step Three: Select the size of your description

Do You Want a Normal-Sized Ad or a Double Ad?

A "Double Ad" takes up two "slots" on the Start Page. This gets your ad
much more attention as it takes up twice the space and you have over twice the number of characters that you can use to write your ad. The
introductory credit cost for a Double Ad is 4 credits for a Free user and
3 credits for a Pro user.

(Max of 60 characters can be bolded in the Double Ad.)
 
You can also use the "ENTER" key as a carriage return to produce up to 8 line breaks in your ad.

FAQ


1. If TrafficSwarm is 100% FREE, what do you get out of it?

TrafficSwarm is 100% FREE. It always has been, and it always will be.
You do not have to buy anything, "upgrade" anything, subscribe to anything, or spend any money if you don't want to. Great results can be had absolutely free.
 
For those that wish to do so, several credit packages are available for purchase. You can also upgrade to a "Pro" account for a small monthly fee if you want, with many great benefits.
 

 
2. Exactly how am I going to get traffic from TrafficSwarm?

It's simple! You just enter some basic information about the site(s) that you want to promote - a Category, the URL, a Title, and a Description.

This information is used to generate targeted links to your site, which are then displayed throughout the TrafficSwarm network - including our incredibly popular "Start Page" system, the TrafficSwarm search engine, etc.

And our automated Anti-Cheat monitoring systems mean that you're guaranteed only real,live, targeted visitors to your site(s).
 


3. Are my links displayed only to other TrafficSwarm users?

Unlike most other traffic-exchanges, when you join TrafficSwarm your site is exposed to potentially 1000s of new and unique visitors each and every day - not just other members of the traffic-exchange network.

While the TrafficSwarm Start Page system is the heart of the network, and hundreds of new users sign-up and begin using it every day, it's just one of several "audiences" you're exposed to.

For example, consider the TrafficSwarm Search Engine. 1000s of websites, covering every topic you can think of, proudly offer a TrafficSwarm Search interface in prominent locations of their sites. The combined audience of the TrafficSwarm Search network consists of millions of unique web surfers per day, and they can all find your site(s) in our Search Engine if you're offering what they are looking for.

Another example is the TrafficSwarm Link Box, which is incorporated into 1000s of other sites across the web - similar to the TrafficSwarm Search Engine. Via these Link Boxes, your targeted links are exposed to literally an unlimited number of unique web surfers each and every day all across the Internet.

Don't settle for a traffic-generation system where your links or site is only exposed to other users of the system. A huge audience of prospects is just another of the many benefits unique
to TrafficSwarm.
