How Do You REALLY Make Traffic Exchange Work?? Understanding The Importance Of Traffic The first and most vital thing to understand about marketing your website is that you need lots and lots of traffic. There are various ways to get traffic to your site, however here we are concerned with Traffic Exchange Traffic Website Traffic is, in the main a numbers game i.e. the more traffic you get to your site, the more sales you will achieve. Its a bit like the scatter gun approach. If you are a machine gunner in an outpost on the beach and you see swarms of invaders coming towards land, you dont aim at any one in particular, you just move your machine gun roughly in the direction of where the enemy is and let fly with the trigger!!. Its the same idea with traffic to your website It doesnt pay to be too choosy as to who comes to your website. All you want is stacks and stacks of people. Eventually, sooner or later someone will buy something. Of course if you are not getting much traffic then selling anything will be a pretty hopeless task The key is volume. Most commercial sites buy traffic in blocks of 10,000 hits, and no one would think of measuring an advertising campaign on less than the same number. So the important thing for a new website is to get lots and lots of traffic, from absolutely anywhere How Traffic Has A Spin-off For Search Engines Among the many things that a Search Emgine will look at when assessing your sites ranking is how much traffic you are getting. If you site hardly gets a visitor, as will be the case with most new sites, then it is hardly worth having such a site in the database. If next to no-one is going to your site, then it obviously cant be a very good or worthwhile site - at least thats how the Search Engines look at it. Remember there are billions of sites, and the number is doubling every 4-6 months, so a Search Engine just cant afford to have you in the database if you get next to no visitors This argument also works the other way round. If you are getting lots of traffic, the Search Engines have absolutely no idea where the traffic is coming from. So they dont know that it all came from a Traffic Exchange, or a Safelist, or an Classified Ad site etc. But they do know that you are in the top 100,000 out of all websites for traffic so therefore they cant possibly leave such a popular site out of the Search results Another very important spin off with lots of Traffic is that other webmasters who are always on the look out for new link partners will be looking up on the alexa rankings what sites are listed as being in the top 500,000 or even top million. If these sites are getting good traffic then it would pay to get a link exchange with them and get some extra traffic that way Traffic Exchange Strategies Using Traffic Exchanges to the best advantage is really very simple. You simply surf anything up to 11 exchanges at once with a tabbed browser like Mozilla Firefox. You can download Mozilla firefox free from Mozilla Download Site Tabbed browsing has become more and more popular, and its ideal for surfing multiple exchanges at once because you are viewing eveything in the one browser, although you have multiple "tabs" open. It should be clear straightaway that you will earn far more visitors and potentially far more sales by surfing multiple exchanges at once. It is quite easy to stack upto 2,000 hits a day using this method The trick is that there are a clutch of Traffic Exchanges that are the best of the best. These are listed as in the Top 50,000 out of all websites. You can see these listed at http://www.traffic-exchange-monitoring.com. These exchanges have the most different people clicking per day and therefore you hits will be going to lots of different people as you surf. Many of these exchanges have memberships of over 50,000 and some over 100,000. So you will avoid the problem of all your sites going to the same people By concentrating on these exchanges you will also get the highest possible "uniques" i.e. the percentage of people who have only seen your sites once in 24hrs will be very high What About All The Other Traffic Exchanges? The other Traffic Exchanges that are not in the top 50,000 out of all websites, should be used more sparingly. This is fine in our strategy because there are anything up to 100 good exchanges alltogether. My suggestion for these exchanges is to surf daily up to 11 exchanges at once until you have earned 20-30 credits on these other exchanges. You should manage this in about 20 min surfing. When you have finished you can then switch to another group of 11 exchanges, and repeat the process for as long as you have got. Some people do this for several hours every day and get thousands of free visitors I would recommend that you save the login pages of each traffic exchange in a separate folder, and put up to 11 exchanges in each folder. Mozilla has a really good option in the bookmarks section where you can choose to open up all bookmarks with one click. This means you can start your surfing session of real quick. Mozilla also allows you to remember you passwords and set a master password so that other people cant find out what your passwords are Downloading Mozilla's Extensions Mozilla Firefox is a really good browser because the code that makes it work is open source. This means just about anyone can add all sorts of extensions to the browser to make it work even better. A couple of good extensions I would recomment you try is "Faster Firefox" which loads the pages even faster than normal and another one which changes the colors for each of the tabs. You can have a different color for each tab and this makes it easier to keep track of where you are Warnings When using a Traffic Exchange you must always be aware that virus and malicious sites might be out there. Most Traffic Exchanges will ban them when they find out, but that might be too late for your machine!! So always have a good virus problem running, ideally in the background all the time so that should anyone try anything you will get an immediate alert requesting you to delete the virus concerned Mozilla Firefox also has a really good device to help you in that there is an option to requre confirmation everytime any software is attempted to be downloaded onto your computer. I would strongly urge that you unclick the box that says "allow websites to download softare" You will need to be careful if your computer hasnt got much memory or you havent got a broadband connection. If you try and surf too many windows at once you computer will just crash and you will have to restart. At first its a good idea to try and surf 4 or 5 tabs at once and see how you go. Gradually you can get more memory and/or upgrade your connection speed and increase the number of tabs to 10 or 11 with ease
