Free Traffic To Your Internet Business While You Surf
by Tyrone on April 17, 2009 - 10 comments
There are many ways to go about getting traffic to your website and some do take more time than others. Ideally the best source of traffic is from search engines which are organic and free. We know it does take time and requires a strategy to build great traffic to your website, but what if there was another way to generate free traffic while you are surfing the web? I recently decided to explore a method called traffic exchanges.
What Are Traffic Exchanges?
Traffic exchanges are another alternative to get traffic to your website. They can provide a cheap source of traffic and continually deliver it when used properly. In essence, it is a cooperative form of advertising and generates free traffic to your website. You view a members website for credit for a set amount of time in exchange for getting a view on your website for credit for a set amount of time. In other words, you get a visitor for a visitor.
However, the timed limit of these views means that viewing the entire inventory of a store or reading a long sales letter is not going to happen often or even likely. Because of this many people do not use traffic exchanges effectively to advertise their sites. They promote a generic affiliate page or sales page hoping that someone will stop and look long enough to buy their product or purchase from their affiliate link. This is wrong on many different levels and is why 95% of “online marketers” fail to use traffic exchanges properly.
How To Effectively Use Traffic Exchanges?
Traffic exchanges are best used as list-building tools using either splash pages or squeeze pages. The reason is people who are using traffic exchanges are also doing the same thing as you, trying to drive more traffic to their website and earning more credits. Therefore, they will not spend too much time reading through a long sales page or see the front page of your website. The best way is to set up a short squeeze or splash page to capture a first name and an email address. That way you can effectively market them your products or services using your back end systems.

Uh oh, just saw that last comment from December 2009 about how google feels about this approach. First, I thought it sounded like something to follow up on, but I think I’ll give this one a miss. Thanks for giving me something to put on my list and then tick off as no need to follow up on this time

This is good way to bring traffic for serious business, but free traffic is mostly spam. I do not believe in it, except SEO. More of social networking, such traffic exchanges and so on are just spamming you. Better way is google adwords of ads on certain websites.
Hi Ships,
Fair comment, and yes sometimes it may be spam, but if you approach traffic exchange correctly, you can build a good targeted list of subscribers.
Thanks for your comments!
