3 Ways to Effective Traffic Exchange Advertising

2005-12-31 @ 04:31:58 AM

Many people will tell you that traffic exchanges are not effective. For some this may be true depending on the service or product you offer. I, however, have had several customers that found my services through my advertising on traffic exchanges. So I am gonna tell you the 3 ways to make this an effective advertising option for you.

First: You need to be sure your home page is effective at explaining what service or product you are offering. Traffic exchanges have a timer so the person viewing your site has the option to leave within a matter of seconds. So your main goal is to give them a reason to stay!!

Second: Only choose traffic exchanges that offer manual surfing. Most people do not even watch the window when an autosurf is running. If it is a manual surf exchange they have to physically watch the pages in order to go to the next site. This gives you the best opportunity for them to actually see your site and be drawn in by your content.

Third: Be prepared to work. In order to earn credits for people to view your site, you have to view other people's sites. That is why it is called a "Traffic Exchange". The more you view other sites, the more your site is viewed.

With these 3 steps you can use traffic exchanges as an effective advertising strategy. It takes planning and work to get results, but doesn't every advertising plan? I urge everyone new to advertising to do alot of research to find the plan that is best for you and your business.

Stacy,

Very good blog and the fact that you are a Voluteer makes it better.

My sister-in-law is from Erwin. My in-laws live in Telford.

I think traffic exchanges can be effective, but as you say they require some training to learn to use. As far as products and services selling on exchanges this is what I am trying to get across in my blog. There is too much biz op stuff and not enough substance.

I think that the problem may be that they are flooded with the same type of affiliate programs. I for one am a Cognigen rep, but Cognigen is a dime a dozen in the exchanges.

Maybe some restrictions on affiliate sites. Force folks to come up with their own original splash page. I don't have all the answers and God knows I do not have the experience in this arena to have all the answers. I dont know. I posted to the forum and my blog hoping it would shake some ideas out, but all it seems to have done is make folks angry.

You have a very good blog and very well written posts. I will be adding you to my friends list if that is ok.
