If you have a product or a website to promote on the web and your on a tight budget ( and who isn't these days ) then you might want to look into traffic exchange sites to help drive traffic to your sight.
Simply put a traffic exchange sight does just that..exchange traffic...once you sign up for any of the free sites ( I will give you the top ones I use for free at the end of this article) you will then surf and view other members sites and your website will then be viewed by others. The more sites you view the more views or hits your sites get. This is an excellent way to to drive traffic to your site for free. I usually surf about 100 sites a day and I belong to 10 different sites. 1000 hits a day for free!
Now you do have the option to upgrade on these sites ( some for as little as 5.95 a month). As an upgraded member you get more perks such as more views to your sight than a free member would and a monthly allotment of credits that can be used to drive even more traffic to your site.
The free method is a good way for some one who is new and just getting started in promoting there sites. They can try out different traffic exchanges and see which ones benefits them before making the choice to pay in to the membership if they choose to so.
Now to harness the real power behind these traffic sites here's what you need to do:
1- join at least seven to ten of the top ten sites. ( you could take the time to google them but as I've said before I have a list of sites that are doing well for me that you can sign up for free and start using today)
2- Set yourself up so that you can use all the exchanges up at the same time instead of just using them one by one (remember you want to work smart not hard) follow the following steps for each site.
: These steps are for Internet explorer 7 because that's the browser I use. You can set yourself up in a similar way on FireFox if that's what you have but I can only talk about what I know about.
First thing you want to do is click on the favorites button on you browser. then go to Add to Favorites. Click the create folder button. The new window that comes up will ask you to name your new folder. You can name it whatever you want but for simplicity's sake lets just say you'll call it Traffic exchange sites. Hit the create button when your done.
: Now after creating your folder you will need to register yourself to the traffic exchange sites of your choice. The ones I have listed below are free for you to use and they are doing very well for me. After registering yourself as a member and validating the email link sent to you for verification save the members log in page as a favorite in the folder you just created.
To do this just go to the favorites button then go to add to favorites and then just drop down the create in window until you see the folder you just created and save it in that folder.
The next step will be registering your site(s) links to the exchange sites. Each exchange site has an easy process that will walk you through this.
Now do this for every site you want to want to join. I personally suggest at least eight to ten and you'll see why in a minute.
Okay this process should take you about 10- 15minutes. The hard parts done.
Now lets go get that traffic.
Go to the folder with your exchange sites (but don't open it) right click on the folder and click on
open in tab group. This will bring up all the sites you saved up as once.
Once there all up sign in to them with your user name and password.
Hit the start surf button on each site. And now your off. A new web page should load into each site you logged into. Each one will have a count down clock. When the clock runs out you are instructed to click on a matching icon to proceed to the next site for you to view. Once the icon is clicked the site loads a new page and you get credit for viewing that site. Now do this for all the sites you have up.
As you can see the credits will start to add up. These are what you use to get hits to your site. After your finished surfing for the day. You can transfer the credits to your site which will in turn put your site that many times into the rotater of the exchange your using.
So for example; you've received a total of 100 credits when your done surfing. That means that after you've transferred those credits to your site you've registered you will receive 100 visits to your site.
If you multiply that by the number of exchange sites your working at once that can mean alot of hits to your site. This is why I say that around 10 sites is a good rule of thumb.
I use this technique four days out of the week and average around 7500 to 8000 hits a week.
Here's the thing...if you work these exchange sites on an inconsistent basis then you will be very disappointed. The key is consistency. I first started out with 6 days a week and worked the sites for 45mins. to an hour a day (broken down in twenty minutes increments if I had to ) but at the end of the day you will have to work it if you want it to work.
Now I do it for 35 to 45mins a day four days out of the week because I supplement it with other techniques that I use (these will be written on later so be sure to save this blog as a favorite...shameless plug ).
If you use this technique the way as described here you will see the traffic increase to your site.
I promise.
Here are the sites that I use that are doing very well for me. Just click on each link and to check them out and sign up to get started.
Thanks for the visit and until next time take care and good fortune to you on promoting your sites
