Traffic Exchanges

What Is A Traffic Exchange?

First of all you need to know a little about what a Traffic Exchange is and then how you can use them to build a ton of traffic to your websites.

A Traffic Exchange or Hit Exchange as they are also known is a real Traffic Alternative. You receive exposure for your own web site, banner ads, and even text links by viewing the sites and ads of other people.

If you are thinking I do not have time to view other peoples sites, I must tell you that you do not have to as all exchanges sell advertising credits so if you have more money than time, you can buy credits.

These programs provide you with a very powerful way of :

- Placing your product or service in front of a very diverse audience
- Seeing what other folks are promoting
- Having an idea of how your competition are targeting their campaigns
- Branding your name, gathering leads, and yes, making sales.

Traffic Exchanges are member based, so you must open an account with each exchange you intend to use. This is a simple task that can be completed in just a couple of minutes and FREE traffic exchanges cost nothing to join.

Traffic Exchanges operate on a credit system. Members earn credits by participating in a variety of ways, and then "spend" these credits on website visitors to their own websites, splash pages, banner ad impressions and text links.

By maintaining active memberships in a few good exchanges, you can generate a tremendous flow of traffic for any web site you wish to advertise. When used properly, these resources are an excellent way to promote just about anything.

Here are some free traffic exchanges which I recommend joining:
