How to Use Free Traffic Exchanges For Instant Website Traffic

Free Traffic Exchanges or TE's as they are sometimes referred to as, provide website owners with an effective method to drive targeted traffic rather effortlessly and for little or no cost.

Traffic exchanges aren't a new concept for online web promotion but still are easy way to promote your website or affiliate links for free and start driving traffic instantly.



Traffic exchanges are a simple concept of “I’ll look at your website if you look at mine.” It works on a credit system. The more websites you “surf”, the more credits you earn.

The more credits you earn, the more times your website will be displayed to others who are surfing.

Traditionally, traffic exchanges are aimed at the “make money” type of crowd.
If you try to promote anything else, although you’ll get hits, you may be very disappointed that no-one buys your stuff.



The best types of offers to promote in traffic exchanges are ones that appeal to the “traffic exchange” crowd.

They’re all about free, easy traffic and free income opportunities. They like easy things. Easy money, easy traffic, easy life ;)

You’ll have much more success promoting something that is related to "easy money" with a catchy headline rather than an ebook store or some vitamin pills.

It’s easy to get started with free traffic exchanges. You simply sign up for a free account, add your websites urls (affiliate links) and/or banners and text links and way you go - “surfing for credits”.



The website surfing system works on a timer. Usually about 20-30 seconds for free members. Times are lower for paid members.

So you sit there and click through websites waiting for the timer to go down and you earn credits. It can be monotonous and you clicking finger can get sore so consider some other ways to earn credits.

Surfing is not the only way to earn credits. A lot of traffic exchanges also have a mailing feature. Advertisers pay to send promotional emails to the traffic exchange members and members can earn credits when they open the email and click the link inside.

You can also earn credits by referring others to the traffic exchange. When they sign up and start surfing, some of the credits they earn go to you. Also, if they upgrade or make a purchase, you get a commission, so it’s a good deal!



The other way to earn credits is to become an upgraded member. All traffic exchanges that I have signed up with have a paid upgrade option. They are pretty cheap so I don’t mind paying. For example, you can get 20,000 credits every month (meaning 20,000 visits) for $10 a month.

Upgraded accounts also add new members to your downline automatically. Like I mentioned just before, when your downline members surf for credits, some of them go to you. And when they make a purchase, you get paid a commission!

Apart from surfing and opening emails, some traffic exchanges have a website banner exchange system you can use. You simply add some code to YOUR website/blog which will display a banner ad.

For every time YOUR website/blog is viewed and the banner displayed, you get credit for YOUR banner to be displayed on someone else’s website/blog who has added the code to THEIR website. It’s cool because your website can earn credits while you are away from the main traffic exchange site.

Traffic exchange traffic can be used very effectively, if you know how to do it right. They are great for instant traffic when you need it, but remember to choose an offer the TE (traffic exchange) crowd will like.

So, we all know that in the core of it all, traffic is the most essential thing to a successful internet based business company. Aside from ensuring that you have a great product to sell, and you have your company's internal organization well taken core of, it would be time to get to the nitty gritty of things, generating traffic.

If you are contending in these very competitive business, you should always be a step ahead of your competition, increasing your traffic flow should have been done starting yesterday.

Timing is essential, that's an old adage known to everyone. But with generating traffic, you should always be on your toes and be a day ahead of everyone. Never think of today and tomorrow as a starting point for making your site traffic laden, it should always have been yesterday.

To help you out in generating more traffic for your site, here are some seven surefire ways to increase your traffic starting from yesterday.

1) Invest in good advertising with search engines

Google's Adwords and Yahoo's Overture provide great advertising schemes that are very truly popular and assures great traffic. Although with this surefire way to increase your traffic would cost some money. While some would shy away from spending money to increase traffic, it is imperative in this case to do so because Adwords and Overture is the top surefire way to increase your traffic.

You could see for yourself the success this search engine advertising methods have reaped rewards for so many companies. Lots of site feature these advertising system and many have signed on to reap the benefits. Do not be left behind. Every penny is worth it with using Google and Yahoo's advertising.

2) Exchange or Trade Links with other sites

With exchanging links with other sites, both of you will benefit from the efforts both of you do to enhance your sites traffic. When one site features another sites link, they could provide one another with the traffic one site generates. The efforts are doubly beneficial because it would seem like both of you are working to generate more traffic. The more links traded with more sites the more traffic could be expected.

3) Use Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs or if ever low costs only. This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky; you can attach your company's name, product or link to a certain media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip or buzz. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.

4) Search and use proper keywords or keyword phrases for your sites content

Search engines look for certain keywords that they would show in their results page. In doing so, having the right keyword and keyword phrase is a high requirement in ranking in high in search engine results. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to do it for you.

5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site

Submit articles to sites that would contain the same subject that your site deals in. If you sell car parts write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach your sites description and services at the end of the article as well as the link.

6) Join forums and form online communities

Capture a market and show your expertise and credibility. When you found a good foundation for your site, people will trust you and your site and will pass on to many people their trust. Traffic will certainly increase because they know that you can provide what they need.

7)Offer newsletters.

If many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find a loyal traffic that can provide you with more traffic by recommendation. If you arouse the curiosity of your customers they would be pushed to help you with your traffic. That's what I have been doing with StartMyEbiz.com. I don't rush out and push for sales in my newsletters either. You need to build that trust first, remember.

8)Lastly, a NEW tool for traffic creation!

And the best part about it is it's free! It's Instant Buzz. You simply can get your own text ad/link shown by just doing your usual internet browsing! It's a genius idea! Go see Instant Buzz now to learn more in detail.
